Pros & Cons

  • looks great, fantastic value, solid motion, invitingly priced, pictures are excellent
  • poor sound, just one hdmi

With the Samsung PS50Q7HD you get a big TV and don’t have to burn a proportionately huge sum of money. It is easy to see what we are getting at by simply looking at the basic facts: you get a flat TV screen size of 50 inches with a price tag of under £1750! There is no compromise on quality however - at the first glance. Everything about it exudes quality, right from its rich glossy finish to its deep black colour scheme and elegantly sculpted lines.

With the Samsung PS50Q7HD you get a big TV and don’t have to burn a proportionately huge sum of money. It is easy to see what we are getting at by simply looking at the basic facts: you get a flat TV screen size of 50 inches with a price tag of under £1750! There is no compromise on quality however - at the first glance. Everything about it exudes quality, right from its rich glossy finish to its deep black colour scheme and elegantly sculpted lines. The TV also includes a new ‘FilterBright’ element in its screen that claims to cut out 90 per cent of ambient light-induced reflections. There also is a 7-day electronic programme guide system together with and memory space for storing multiple recording timer events.

The PS50Q7HD’s budget price somehow seems to be an indicator of the TV’s average connections. It only has one HDMI socket and two scarts; there however are a couple of jacks that immediately prove the presence of a built-in digital tuner along with a CI slot for subscription TV channels as well as a digital audio output. This makes it possible to ship Dolby Digital 5.1 audio tracks o a suitable surround sound receiver if the Freeview terrestrial digital platform broadcasts any.

One of the common areas of improvement for relatively inexpensive plasma TVs is sharpness. This however is not the case with this Samsung machine - it is totally capable of doing justice to the extra pixels of detail and texture that are found in high definition sources, and also makes standard definition sources look reasonably crisp. Movements are also stable and clear. It removes lots of unwanted side effects making it a fair deal for such a cheap TV.

    This Samsung plasma isn't flawless, but it does offer fantastic picture quality and a quite phenomenal performance-per-pound ratio Read more

    The audio deficiencies can't prevent us from recommending this sizable TV. With great pictures when using both standard and hi-def material, more features than you can shake a good-sized stick at and a price that's easy on your plastic, Samsung has proved that plasma has plenty of life left.
