The Samsung Plasma F5300 is a good budget plasma TV. The picture quality in a dark room is excellent. However, it isn't good for viewing in a bright living room. It doesn't get very bright and the screen reflects a lot of light.
Our Verdict
7.4
Mixed Usage
The picture quality of the Samsung F5300 Plasma TV is excellent in a dark room. Do not turn on the lights, though, because the picture will get washed out by the amount of reflections.
Pros
- Good picture quality. It has good contrast and handles motion well.
Cons
- Average-high input lag. It is still playable though.
- This TV reflects a lot of light. You will not see the picture if you try watching this in a bright room with lots of windows.

When you turn the lights on, the screen becomes gray. It reflects a lot of light and it is hard to distinguish dark details in the picture. You definitely do not want this TV in a bright room.

It performs slightly better when displaying a bright scene, but this is still a problem area for it.
