4 out of 5 stars   Nice features, some picture issues
By Matt on February 15, 2011

Review submitted for LG 50PK750 - 50" High-definition 1080 Plasma Infinia Series (LG50PK750)
Pros: Over-The-Air OS updates, Good Remote Control, Netflix YouTube Vudu, Runs Linux, Attractive Design, Good Resolution, Fast Setup, Internet Connectivity, Plays videos from USB
Cons: No headphone jack, White screens are dim, Not as bright my old LCD, Only one audio out
Other Comments: This TV has some cool features: YouTube, Netflix, Vudu, Wifi support (extra), upgradeable OS (linux), playing videos from a USB drive. (Note: This TV does not have an internet browser. You can only access the apps that come with the TV) The TV also looks sexy as hell with the one-piece glass front. However, I had a lot of issues with the picture. Disclaimer: This is my perspective coming from a bright, crisp Samsung LCD. 1) The LG ships with the picture in energy-saving mode. In this mode, the picture is ridiculously dim. Turn this off. With full brightness (on the backlight and picture) I still cannot get the TV to be as bright and contrasty as my LCD. It just doesn't pop the same way. You can adjust the contrast, brightness, and saturation via many cryptic and branded naming conventions. None of them really make a huge difference or match the brightness and contrast of LCD. If you are coming from a quality LCD or are fussy about the picture, you'll spend a lot of time tweaking it and still won't be totally happy. 2) The main thing I cannot stand (which is apparently a problem with all plasmas) is the white-dimming. Google "plasma tv white dimming". This happens when the majority of the screen is near white, the entire screen will dim and whites will look gray. I've read this is to conserve power, I've read this is to stop from blinding you. Whatever it is, it's extremely annoying that it cannot be turned off. If all plasmas are like this, I won't be buying another one.

5 out of 5 stars   Great TV!!!!!!
By Homee2010 on January 16, 2011

Review submitted for LG 50PK750 - 50" High-definition 1080 Plasma Infinia Series (LG50PK750)
Pros: Fast Setup, Good Remote Control, Great Picture Quality, Good Resolution, Attractive Design
Cons: Glare
Other Comments: I had reviewed 50" TVs on Consumer Reports. This one gave the most "bang-for-the-buck". A friend had just gotten a 55" LED, and when we watched football games, the action was blurred. With the plasma refresh rate of 600hz, there is absolutely no blur. The TV has not yet been calibrated, but, straight out the box, it is the best I've ever had. Smooth interface with the LG BluRay player.While I can see there may be glare, we use it in a darkened room, so not a problem for us. Remote has a built-in light. Sound isnt bad, but I will install a small surroud system later.Would definitely buy again!!!

4 out of 5 stars   Fine piece of Tech.
By videomikki on January 10, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for LG 50PK750 - 50" High-definition 1080 Plasma Infinia Series (LG50PK750)
Pros: Reduced Glare, Great Picture Quality, Good Remote Control, Attractive Design, Great Sound Quality, Good Resolution, Fast Setup
Cons:
Other Comments: I use this product in every way i.e. movie watching, internet applications like Youtube, Yahoo witget, etc. This TV has superb picture quality I still can't get over it. Black deep enough it could pass for infinte. High dynamic contrast ratio- 3Million to 1. It has a lot of internet applications and it comes with its own games that require no connection with other applications.The audio quality is not "wow" but it is crystal clear and loud; you only need to set the volume under 10 out of 100 levels. But I don't use the TV audio for I have a beasty home theather audio appliance that takes care of that end[...]All said, I recomend this tv to anyone. It is worth every buck of it and much more.

4 out of 5 stars   Great plasma TV
By Paul on January 06, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for LG 50PK750 - 50" High-definition 1080 Plasma Infinia Series (LG50PK750)
Pros: Fast Setup, Good Resolution, Great Picture Quality, Attractive Design, Reduced Glare
Cons: Confusing / Bad Remote Control
Other Comments: I wasn't considering plasma TV before, scared by notorious burn-in issues, glare, buzzing noise and not being as bright as LCD TV. I'm glad I did overcome my doubts about plasma. This TV set has none of these issues plus you can view it at any angle and glare is not as bad as I thought (it stands opposite to 3 big windows with blinds). Another thing I like about it is built-in networking capabilities and access to such services as Netflix and Vudu. No need in any additional box+remote to get access to any of those services. One thing I don't like is the remote. It's hard to operate with one hand and you have to point it exactly at lower right corner of TV. So, if you are at angle to the TV it takes couple of attempts to switch the channel or increase volume.

5 out of 5 stars   Word to the Wise
By Lorenzo on December 12, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for LG 50PK750 - 50" High-definition 1080 Plasma Infinia Series (LG50PK750)
Pros: Great Picture Quality, Attractive Design, Reduced Glare, Fast Setup, Energy Efficient, Good Remote Control
Cons: Poor Sound Quality
Other Comments: This plasma was rated highest picture quality recently by Consumer Report. It is easy to see why. The picture quality is stunning. After purchase I determined the additional feature of internet conectivity through purchase of a dongle, could be made availabe by the purchase of an internet ready Blue Ray player. It's possible to save [$], if you plan to purchase both a Plasma and Blue Ray Player by buying Plasma without this feature (PK540)and acquiring internet connectivity with the Blue Ray player. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

4 out of 5 stars   Excellent choice for $1000 budgets
By DebandMike on December 08, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for LG 50PK750 - 50" High-definition 1080 Plasma Infinia Series (LG50PK750)
Pros: Good Remote Control, Attractive Design, Great Picture Quality, Great Sound Quality
Cons:
Other Comments: This is our first flat screen TV and coming from a 14 year old 27" tube TV to a 50" plasma is a huge change. We did a lot of research and this model was the best for the money. Our budget was $1000 and this fits every requirement. We don't watch much TV (even a fancy TV won't solve the problem that there isn't anything good to watch) but out old 27" was barely viewable and we took the plunge. We've only had it a month so if it still works after a year I'll give it 5 stars.

5 out of 5 stars   Great Picture and Great Veiwing Angle
By sugarlandman on November 10, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for LG 50PK750 - 50" High-definition 1080 Plasma Infinia Series (LG50PK750)
Pros: Great Picture Quality
Cons: Difficult to Set Up
Other Comments: I purchased this TV because it was to be used in a living room. Thus, everyone needed to see images clearly, so viewing angle was very important. This is why I choose this TV over a LCD. The room does not have a lot of direct light, so having a glass TV screen was not an issue. The picture from Cable is good, but using a Blueray player for DVD produces even a better picture. The sound is OK, but could be a lot better, but this must be due to limitations on the thickness of the TV. I would buy another without a second thought.
