Tech manager (of 5th-grade literacy level) said "all the 'problems' will be solved if I replace my HDMI cables with SAMSUNG-certified HDMI cables." They refused to escalate the issue.

I bought the UN55C6300. You can't PIP two channels. You can only use PIP with TV on one feed, and the DVD or some other source as the other picture. Quite useless - why would I want to use PIP with a DVD? This from the Samsung support site: Important: The information above, except for the Note, does not apply to Samsung LCD TVs that have PIP capability. Currently, all Samsung LCD TVs with PIP capability have a single tuner and are incapable of displaying two channels simultaneously, whether they are attached to a cable box or not.

Watch a TV channel for an hour. When you change the channel, you will see burn-in. Yes, it goes away pretty quickly (with 10-15 minutes), but what a pain in the ass. I can see things from the last channel I was watching for a bit. It's annoying. One more thing – BURN IN on the Plasma. Watch a TV channel for an hour.

Here's what I've found. So I just bought two new TVs. Samsung 46" UN46C6300, LED-LCD from Costco for 1699. That's my upstairs TV. Then I bought the Samsung 50" 3D plasma PN50C7000 for downstairs (I have a 48" hole for my TV, and Plasma is the only 50" TV). I have also installed both TVs downstairs under the same conditions, so I can give you direct comparison from this week. I have highly lit room. Believe it or not, I found the Plasma to be better with regards to reflection. The LED-LCD wasn't that bad at all. The Plasma was better. The plasma gives off a ton of heat, the LED-LCD did not. Walk near the TV and you can feel the plasma heat. Not the case with the LED-LCD. My be a function of the size of the TVs, I don't know, but just my observation. I bought the Samsung 3D bluray, and a Dennon reciever capable of handling 3D with the new HDMI 1.4. I bought all brand new Monster HDMI 1.4 cables ($100.00 bucks for 1 3-foot cable). Upconversion of 2D content to 3D is pretty cool. Not sure I'll use it too much, but it works. Not as great as Monsters Vs Aliens in 3D but it works. Looking forward to Avatar coming out in 3D soon. But I have to tell you - so far, I am overall dissapointed with the Plasma. I keep wanting the LED-LCD back down stairs. I continue to find flaws with the picture in my plasma that I just don't see on the LED-LCD. Picture is crisper with the LED. Plasma has bad blurrs and inperfections when watching non-HD channels that the LED doesn't seem to have. In fact, I am probably going to return the plasma, and go for the Samsung 55" LED-LCD 3D TV. I would welcome any comments, as I'm still trying to figure all of this out. I’m no guru, but I’m trying to learn. Here’s what I’ve found. So I just bought two new TVs.

Very Ugly compared to LED TV's. I used to own two plasmas I could never get the Hi-Def looking as good as my LED TV, not even close. The Plasma screen is made up of a bunch of square pixels that can't produce that crisp Hi-Def picture an LCD TV can or not even close to the Hi-Def resolution of a 8000 or 9000 series Samsung LED 240hz TV.
