Compare Prices : Samsung PS-50Q7HD

Review summary: An older plasma, that isn't flawless, but it offered fantastic picture quality and a quite phenomenal performance-per-pound ratio for its day.

Pros: Invitingly priced. Great colour balance and detail. Solid motion

Cons: Some loss of detail in the darkest blacks

Verdict: There's also a fair number of picture adjustments to tweak, with facilities including Low Noise Amplifier for boosting a weak off-air signal, and Digital Noise Reduction, which does exactly what is says on the tin

Review summary: Samsung's 50-incher sports the company's usual bargain price tag - but can the performance hold together on such a big screen?

Pros: Invitingly priced. Great colour balance and detail. Solid motion

Cons: Some loss of detail in the darkest blacks

Review summary: The Samsung PS50Q7HD administers a serious body blow on the first meeting: the opulent exterior (complete with silver-edged ledge to hide a pair of built-in speakers) is absolutely knockout

Pros: Looks great, Pictures are excellent, Fantastic value

Cons: Poor sound, Just one HDMI

Verdict: Inexpensive and the pictures are first rate. Shame about the sonics

Review summary: This 50-inch TV has promising specifications to back up its visual style statement

Pros: Looks great, Pictures are excellent, Fantastic value

Cons: Poor sound, Just one HDMI

Verdict: Black levels are particularly superb, and when you couple this with the formidable colour palette on display, it's looking like that the PS50Q7HD is a real bargain
