Samsung PS51E490B1M Pro Reviews

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

If you've got your heart set on a plasma TV (and there's no reason why you shouldn't have) then you could consider Panasonic's P50X50, which has maybe marginally better pictures for similar money but doesn't have 3D. If you want 3D on a different plasma TV, your cheapest good rival is the Panasonic P50UT50. If you're willing to think about LCD, good options would be the LG 47LM620T, which delivers a passive 3D option complete with seven pairs of glasses included for free, and Samsung's own UE46ES6300, with its active LCD system and online services. Both these LCD options are a bit smaller with their screen sizes than the Samsung PS51E490, though.

Although its lower-than-usual resolution (and yes, we can say that now that nearly every HDTV on the market is 1920×1080!) doesn’t allow it to reproduce the same detail as a 1920×1080 panel, and although it lacks a 96hz output mode for judder-free Blu-ray playback, the Samsung PS51E490 is priced lowly enough, and gets enough else right, to warrant a recommendation. Samsung’s PS51E550 can be had for roughly over £100 more, which may be a worthwhile up-sell for users who predominantly watch movie material (hopefully we’ll get the chance to have a good look at one soon). However, for users on tighter budgets, especially those who want an affordable, fast display for console video gaming, then the PS51E490 is a good choice.
