Conclusion
Well decisions, decisions. We have reviewed many Plasma TVs and one thing that is generally true across the range is that once you have tried a large 60 inch or above TV you will never want to go back to a smaller TV.
The Samsung PPM63H3Q is an extremely quiet TV. Some TVs make a very low frequency noise when they are switched on. Most people can't hear it but some people with sensitive ears can. The TV itself has multiple inputs and offers a top class picture. This is a high class TV and recommended by us.
Just 2 bits of advice from us. Firstly take your time when choosing a plasma TV make sure you pick the right one for you. These TVs are a large investment. Secondly the Samsung PPM63H3Q is very heavy. Make sure the delivery people deliver inside your house.
