I've been meaning to write this addition to my series of hubs on the Best Plasma TVs for a week, and now I've finally got around to sitting down and writing it! I've picked out two of the best 58 inch plasma TV sets which I think are deserving of mention and featured them here on this page with a short review of each one giving you some basic info about their features and specs. You will also notic that next to the text I've written about them there is an amazon.com link which will take you to the product information page for that set if y want to see the full specs and read customer reviews. The amazon link also shows the 'List Price' alongside their own price, which lets you know what price the manufacturer has recommended for retailers to sell their product at, and therefore the price you should expect to pay if you went out and bought one of these from a high street store.

At only 1.2 inches deep the Samsung PN58B860 is one of the slimmest 58 inch plasma TV sets on the market and has an attractive 'touch of color' design which, as the name suggests, adds a subtle hint of color to the usual black casing.
