I thought it was something like 4 stuck/dead pixels to consider it defective??

When I bought mine is 2009, I asked specifically 'may I bring it back this afternoon if I see ONE dead pixel' and he said yes

Is this a good buy? I'm looking for 50" or bigger FHD TV and don't care about any "smart" features

Good price, but I wouldn't expect to be blown away by its PQ if you've had other branded sets to compare with. Looks like it'll be prone to light bleed and white spots. Ought to do the job though.

We have a sansui 50 led at work. Probably the best pq on hd I have ever seen

Someone please help me out, last night lightning killed all 4 HDMI port on my PS51D550, the obvious replacement would be the PS51F5500 does anyone know who would have stock?

Also if that doesn't work, what would be the next best replacement model.

Why did Samsung stop making plasma so the most equivalent would be the UA48H6400 right?

Price wise yes, but I don't think the picture quality will ever be there.

I know I know, if I can just find a PS51F5500 I would be ecstatic.

I saw them at Makro Strubensvalley about a week ago. Price was R10k if I remember correctly.

Samsung SDI has announced that it will shut down plasma panel production by November 30 of this year.

Makro had tons of the F550s for about R9k 2 weeks ago.

Specifically: Makro Centurion.

Any time in the future. As long as it stays "LCD."
