LG 50PS60 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV with THX Display Certification Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The LG 50PS60 is my first flat panel TV purchase. I'm very happy with it. I don't use the THX Cinema setting, instead I've modified the standard setting to my liking - though black is not as black as when it is off. I can't seem to achieve that, but as a novice I'm not sure if that's a reasonable goal.
One small nit - sometimes I find the TV has changed itself from the standard setting to something else, like THX or Vivid. I think this happens if I toggle around too much in the TV menu, but I'm not sure what triggers this changing.
This TV has an auto-brightness feature that evaluates the room brightness and adjusts the picture accordingly. Lower brightness reduces power consumption on a plasma. This TV does have a more glossy screen than some other manufacturers. We watch TV in the evening, in a moderately dark room - but even with a lights on I can't say I've ever been aware of reflections in the screen. So for me, no biggie.
I'm driving this display with a DirecTV HD DVR and a Panasonic DVD recorder/player, both via HDMI. I'm surprised and pleased how good the DVD looks. BlueRay is on the wish list for now. DirecTV 1080i and 720p content looks great.
Yesterday my family viewed my daughter's jpg pictures of her trip to Greece on the 50PS60 via the USB jack and built-in picture viewing software. The pictures looked outstanding, and the large screen is perfect for group viewing. You can even add a music file to play while viewing pictures! All I need now is for the TV to serve chips and beer.
I bought my 50PS60 from Amazon partner OneCall, which shipped within 24 hours from Washington state. They had strapped it upright on a long pallet, with two shockwatch stickers attached. Perfect condition. OneCall is an authorized dealer so I was able to take advantage of the LG [...] on this unit, which made selecting this unit a no brainer.
