Samsung PN64H5000 (PS64H5005)
CONCLUSION – Overall, we think the Samsung PN64H5000 is going to put smiles on the faces of self-emissive display fans, at a time where there's precious little other good news (Samsung seems to have one foot out of bed with OLED at the moment, and we don't have to remind anyone about Panasonic's recent decision).
The "elephant in the room" is the pentile subpixel layout, which observant users might find to be an acquired taste at this screen size. See beyond that, and there really is very little to dislike about this large-size, affordable plasma television. It has all of the strengths you'd associate with plasma display panel (PDP) technology, namely near-perfect screen uniformity, deep blacks, suitably bright whites, and total immunity to the viewing angle limitations that plague the LCD competition. Its motion quality isn't the best we've seen from a plasma, but we'd take non-top-tier plasma motion (which can look a little noisy during scenes that stress the panel) over typical LCD motion (which can still look blurred owed to how our eyes and brains process their output). The low input lag, which can be had even without enabling any specialist modes, will obviously please gamers.
The PN64H5000 also does well in the critical areas of grayscale, gamma and color rendition, after calibration. The grayscale performance after only a basic setup was greenish on our individual review sample, though, which probably is a market reality of the TV's low price tag (a shame too, because the cheaper the display, the less likely it is to find itself calibrated).
As a result, we don't have any huge hesitations about recommending the PN64H5000 to users who want a big-screen display in a light-trated or night-time environment. There's a lot to like about it beyond its bargain price tag, and we anticipate the higher-end H7000 series arriving later this year – which is likely to go down as plasma’s "Swan Song".
