CHEAP LG Electronics 60PK950 60″ Class Broadband THX Certified 1080p Plasma HDTV
I received my 60pk950 about a week ago and absolutely love it. This was my first HDTV purchase and I spents months researching different brands and models. I was originally set on buying a Panasonic, but the refusal to own up to the rising blacks and floating blacks steered me away. Why give money to a company that won’t admit to issues with their products? I bought an LG BD390 after reading stellar reviews on the blu-ray player and that led me to considering one of their televisions. I joined the AVS forums and spents months reading threads and posts on most brands and models available. My concensus is that the LG owners had the least amount of issues. Samsungs frequently buzz and the Panasonics have black issues. LG seems to be the underdog, so they are really out to impress their customers.
As for the TV, I love the picture and blu-ray discs look fantastic. I imagine that they look just as solid on the 60PK550, but I wanted the bells and whistles that the 950 offered. Also, the Trublack filter DOES make a difference. Here’s the deal, glass reflects so you will never have a TV that has no reflection at all, but the filter greatly diminished that issue. Very happy with that. I had thought about getting an LED, but since I pretty much only watch films, the “soap opera” look to LED/LCD drove me nuts. If you prefer the cinematic look, plasma is really the only way to go. I can understand why people like LED, but it wasn’t for me.
I am not a video expect, but to me, the picture looks great. I can stream Netflix with no problem using the wifi dongle (included) and the widgets are moderately cool. They are nothing to get excited about, but I’m sure more will be added over time. Blu-rays look stunning. I can’t stress that enough. This TV is 60″ and I can sit 5 feet away and not notice any breakup at all. Smooth as day. I also have an Xbox 360 hooked up and haven’t noticed any lag issues at all. Buy this TV. If you don’t need the Trublack filter, Netcast or widgets, the 550 should suit you fine.

I have been cautiously reviewing plasmas and LCD’s for the past year or so. I wanted this to be a long-term purchase that I wouldn’t regret in 6 months to a year. It seems the technology has been increasing as fast as the prices have been decreasing on these kinds of t.v.’s. My head started to spin and I figured I’d just hold steady for awhile. That was until Amazon had an offer of 1 year no interest and no payments on this t.v. I pulled the trigger after reading some very good reviews of this product. The only thing I became truly certain of was that I wanted it to have internet capability so that I could stream movies…this set has the Netflix “program” and I figured that was going to come in handy to have…or whatever new downloadable technology becomes available in the coming years. Glad I chose this!br /I have had the set for about a week now. I’m still in my “break-in” period, so I have all the settings pretty low. However, I have sampled what the final settings will look like and I am more than thrilled with the picture quality and the functionality of the set. This is a HUGE t.v….and I mean HUGE!! It is a great looking set with one single pane of glass rather than a big outside bezel. The colors are true and rich, and I’m confident that they will only get better once it is broken in fully and I can turn on the full settings. It comes with a stand already installed, which works great. I may still buy the Sanus wall bracket, but it isn’t totally necessary with this nice stand, either. The sound is actually very good. Pretty rich for just standard speakers…sounds very nice for regualar watching when I don’t want to turn on the theater system. I haven’t used the Netflix program YET, but I look forward to streaming a movie from their tens of thousands available in the coming years. This was a good purchase from my perspective, and to say I was over cautious would be an understatement. The 12 month “financing” and free delivery were icing on the cake. It has only been a week, but I expect to be continually thrilled with this for years to come.
