The 560 has a great picture and more than adequate sound. Although the sound may not be up to audiophile standards, it is plenty good for me. If I want to I can turn on the stereo receiver and enjoy from there. There is no buzzing at all, as experienced by the other reviewer.
The picture is flawless. DirecTV has a very detailed picture on many of the cable channels (National Geographic, A&E, etc.), but my local channels on DirecTV are not quite as good as they are directly off the air.
My only complaint is the inherent heat output of the plasma display. If you have marginal air conditioning, you will not like the noticeable heat being put into the room. It will be a plus in the winter time.
Delivery by Pilot was on-time. The TV was ordered on a Friday evening and it was delivered the next Thursday within the window given by Pilot. Although the box was clearly marked with two labels that the TV was to be handled by two people, Pilot showed up with one person. He unloaded the box from the truck and dragged it into my house. He and I had to lift my 76 lb old DLP TV off the component cabinet and then lift the new 100 lb TV onto it. I am 74 years old with back problems and I did not appreciate Pilot showing up with one person.
That bad taste was quickly replaced by the enjoyment of watching the 560. It is a BIG screen and dominates the corner of my room, but is just the right size for me, viewing from about 12 to 14 feet away. It makes for an awesome viewing experience! I don't think one can go wrong buying this TV.

Great picture. Great price. I liked the Pilot delivery. Amazon should post the complete delivery process because it can be a touch confusing (take that as strictly constructive).
It would be nice if the TV set had a "custom" setting instead of having to change of the standards. To that end , I don't care for the "Movie" setting at all.
Would buy the set again in a heart beat. I agree with all the other reviews, no need to repeat them.

After studying various brands, models, lcds, dlps, plasmas, etc, and looking at various sets playing in local stores - got an excellent price from amazon.com on this Samsung and it arrived quickly all in one piece. Easy set-up on my existing stand - it's not heavy or cumbersome for two people to move. Plugged it in - no buzz. Yea! Turned it on and followed the initial set-up instructions. Hooked up the new Samsung Blu-Ray, a near-new Panasonic dvd/vcr recorder/player, and an Insight Cable HDDVR - all three using HDMI cables. Set the "Movie Mode" to on, turned down the contrast just a bit, tweaked a few more things to my personal taste, and proceeded to be amazed by the images this set can produce. Blu-Ray is absolutely excellent, dvd is upconverted to 1080p and looks great, old videos look smooth and better than you'd expect, HD cable looks much better - depending on the channel and program you're watching. Also, I still watch quite a bit of two digital cable channels: Turner Classic and Fox Movie channels. After realizing that I can adjust "Movie Mode" individually for each source, I did a lot of tweaking to get these two digital favorites looking "acceptable, fair-to-good, ok-for-now." At least, I can live with them the way they look which is about the way they looked on the 4-year-old Sony 55" HDTV the Samsung is replacing. I don't care for the built-in sound system which is thin, hollow and blah - got a small Sony sound system which does fine in my condo, which residence came complete with a "no-loud-speakers" clause in my owners contract. Reflections are minimal in my living room - not a problem at all. The TVs remote is ok and it talks back and forth to the new Blu-Ray player which takes some getting used to. The Blu-Ray machine has Netflix built-in which works fine using my wireless LAN - no problems. Also included with Netflix is a service that was new to me - Pandora - which allows you to go online to a website, build various "radio stations" playing only music you like, and the Blu-Ray plays the music back thru your TV. This is a wonderful addition to any Home Theater - I love it! A problem: the sound pauses on some selections - just for a moment at the beginning as the song starts to play. Samsung thinks it's Pandora's problem; Pandora isn't sure; I think the Samsung Blu-Ray needs a firmware upgrade to address this very small and not very bothersome complaint. More thoughts: don't forget to use the supplied "tether" to tie your new set to the wall - it feels a bit "teetery" to me. It gets warm on top but not what I'd call "hot." I keep fiddling with the settings on each source's "Movie Mode" trying to better the picture and have them all about where I think they belong - your mileage may vary: please tweak away to your heart's content - it's free! Image retention/burn-in: haven't noticed this being a problem - I keep the set on 16x9 most all the time and run the "scroll" to wipe the screen every evening for about 10 minutes. This seems to address any slight problems. As far as using those "first 100 hours" dvds I read about - too much trouble for me. Trying to be as gentle as I can be with it the first month or so will have to do. Friends who have seen the new Samsung in operation cannot believe the Blu-Ray pictures the set delivers: they've been simply amazed!
BOTTOM LINE: I love it, but wish I'd gone ahead and gotten the 63" model instead of the 58" - maybe next time!

We paid a little more for the 560 because we read reviews about a buzzing coming from the earlier models. No buzzing from this model. Picture is outstanding and the sound is really good - haven't yet hooked up our sound system and may not. Love having the extra USB ports. We have both our PS3 and PS2 hooked up to it, as well as digital cable. But even non-digital shows look really good - something that was not the case with our last big screen tv. We are very happy!

I have a long story to tell, but to cut to the chase, this is a great TV from a good company. Fantastic picture and no buzzing sound at all.
Now the story. I bought this TV to replace a 52" Samsung LCD television I had in the living room. I was very happy with the LCD, but when it was 18 months old it developed a block of dead pixels about dead center of the screen. The LCD was out of warranty, so I moved it to the bedroom and replaced it with this plasma.
I decided to call Samsung customer service just to see if there was anything they could do about the dead pixels. I was transferred to Executive Customer Care and told to send by email a copy of my receipt, the SN, and picture of the screen. About 2 hours later a rep called to make an appointment to come look at the television. A week later a service man came to my house and replaced the LCD panel, no charge for parts or labor. They did it at my house and it took about an hour. That is great customer service.
As it turned out I didn't need to buy this plasma, but I am still glad I did. The extra six inches make a huge difference watching movies. And the picture blows the LCD out of the water. The colors are more realistic and the movement just seems smoother and more natural. I still like the LCD, and 52 inches in the bedroom is nice, but for now I think plasma is the picture to beat. And Samsung has certainly earned my loyalty.
