I have lived with this tv for only a week now but I would like to say I researched to no end for a tv that is over 60 inches.The other choices were the 65 inch sharp lcd and the 65 inch panny plasma. I have compared this tv to the others with the same feed and similar settings and the samsung wins in my eyes. The colors on this tv are more vibrant then the lg ,kuro, and panny.

I would say the panel and stand are a very nice glossy black with the option to swivel to some extent. The tv arrived connected to the stand which made setup very easy. The menu used to change settings is very user friendly as well. I like how you can label each input source this way it is obvious which input works with each device. The BD playback on this tv is excellent. I could go on and on.

There is a B590 which inlcudes cinema smooth and a screen which is ultra filter bright plus as opposed to ultra filter bright. You will not notice the difference.

BTW, I also saw this tv side by side with last years 63A650 playing same feed using same settings mode. It was not even close in my eyes. The 63b550 looked sharper, brighter, colors were more vibrant etc...
Wow amazing picture and superior quality!

I ordered my Samsung PN63B550 a week ago and it arrived 5 days later. Amazon ordering was easy and tracking my order online was very accurate on their delivery time. My tv was delivered two days before the actual delivery date from Amazon. It was ship by Pilot delivery service and they only sent one person to carry my tv from the delivery truck to inside my home. I had to help assist the delivery guy to take it out of it's packing material and place it on top of the stand. That was only thing i was dissappointed with I would suggest you call Amazon first before ordering and ask for a white glove deliver service instead. This was my first Samsung plasma Tv and I am thorougly satisfied with my order picture is wonderfull and movies on HD never looked so good on this 63" mammoth. If your looking for the best Tv for watching sports and movies look no further. I also saved $700 dollars when ordering through Amazon compared to Best Buy and Frys Electronics. Hands down the best Plasma Samsung has ever made. To many features to list like mega dynamic contrast and 600hz motion picture and 24fps for more relistic movie experience and uses 50% less energery compared to last year models.
Impressive!!

Reviewer: Peter K,
Ordered from Amazon, trucked by CEVA. Was nervous about ordering a monster like this as expected trucking damage. CEVA called 4 days earlier than claimed delivery and delivered 1 hour earlier than the delivery window that day. One big guy in truck. He unloaded it onto a cart and got it into the house. I helped unpack and lift it onto the tv stand. He stayed until everything hooked up and verified it was all working before I had to sign the delivery ticket. PAINLESS:)

Had not seen the 63" in a store. Replaced a 50" Sony rear projection. WOW what a difference. Blu-ray and over-the-air HD are phenomenol. Played the Pirates of the Caribbean last movie and the details are incredible. Great color, really dark blacks. Even cable standard definition is easily watchable but grainier on such a large screen. Absolutely no image retention - plasmas used to be susceptible to that and have been really looking for any. I am just mizing up what we watch for the break-in to reduce any chance of image retention. Watched a movie with top-bottom black bars the first night and no left over images at all. No buzzing or other screen noises. No fans. The stand does swivel and is a nice useful feature.

Negatives? Well no picture in picture :(. I knew that. Why is it that none of the manufacturers make true PinP TVs anymore? Especially with such large screens. Will really miss that come football season. You can get a version of dual picture in the more expensive Samsung models but it is crude and not very useful. The screen is not a matt finish, it is very dark but somewhat glossy. So, you do get some reflections. Not a problem for me as I have window drapes for movie watching. I don't bother closing the drapes for news-weather-channel surfing. The speakers are okay but kind of tinney. You will want a surround sound system to go with this.

Could not be happier with this set. LOVE IT.
Pete
Great TV

I have had my 63B550 for about two weeks now. The picture is amazing. The colors are great, and it's a bright set. No signs of IR at all. I'd recommend it.
Fantastic TV

Had this TV for about a month & love it!!!!! Great picture and features. My cousin has a 60" Kuro and I like my Samsung better.
The 63" screen is much more impressive and the picture quality is
awesome. Plus you cannot beat the price. Delivery from Amazon was flawless. TV was delivered as promised, put on furniture stand, connected to the cable box and it was good to go!!! I also bought
the sleek wireless new Samsung Blue Ray with free shipping & no
sales tax. Wow!!!
