Samsung 51D490: My Short review
After using/watching this plasma, all I can say is "Plasmas throw out an awesome picture, beautiful blacks, great contrast and are better off in almost every aspect than the LCD/LED TV's. If you want to save money, and still get a brilliant picture, then this is the one.
3D PQ : 3D picture is bright, depth is great , there is no ghosting, motion blur even when u watch lying down on the floor. which is a major drawback of passive LED TV's especially LG passive LED's, also when compared to a passive 1080p 3D LED TV you are actually seeing more lines of resolution on this active 3DTV (51D490) which sends the full 720p to each eye while the passive 1080p sends 540 lines to each eye.
ok now the Pics.....
(a)
Below is the Pic with some ambient light above the TV , but there is no direct incident ray of light on the TV, i use some lighting to lower the eye strain.
(b)
First , below picture depicts the REFLECTION issue, there is one CFL Bulb and opposite door open which can be clearly seen.
Second, below picture depicts the PQ quality when there is no CFL Bulb and no opposite door open. Isn't that awesome:yahoo:
(c)
Calibration settings: Below pics gives you the idea about the settings i am currently using

(g) Watching movies on my POPCORN HOUR A210 is just "out of this world"
The popcorn hour has a zoom setting "Fullscreen" which removes black bars without affecting resolution and without cutting any portion of the size of the screen/ subtitles , samsung plasma also have zoom feature but it cuts a lot of screen size/subtitles. The below picture show same that how its done by Popcorn Hour.

So, as everybody do
, i
"HIGHLY RECOMMEND" this TV to anyone who have a dark room, want to have a spectacular TV and want to save money.
