Samsung Plasma Series 5 (2008)
Released March, 2008
The Pros:Black levels good, but not the best. A plethora of picture controls. Logical menu layout.
The Cons:Black levels outshined by top-level sets. Anti-reflective screen isn't as effective as other manufacturer's.
The Series 5 from Samsung is their entry-level line of plasma displays that feature a native 1080p resolution. The Plasma Series 5 can be easily confused with Samsung's line of LCD televisions that are also called "Series 5".
