Customer Reviews on LG 60PK950 60-inch Plasma TV
"I received my
LG 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 LG 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 LG 60PK950 TV is 60-inch 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. " by D. Carlton "Stormtrooper"
"I purchased my LG 60PK950 about a month ago after several months of research comparing plasma with LED/LCD; I am VERY impressed with this TV! It is LG's top of the line' plasma, so it has all the bells and whistles you could expect. Here are the things I like best:
- High quality picture, with beautiful colors and excellent black levels (thanks to the new tru-black filter)
- Internet widgets work great and are easy to setup
- Excellent value for your dollar. I got this LG 60PK950 TV at a great price (substantially under $2000) and it compares easily to TV's close to $1000 higher in price.
- Minimal plasma effects (image retention, ghosting). I have never seen any ghosting or image retention artifacts. From what I've read, if they do show up, you can easily remove them by running an IR program overnight to clean up the artifacts.
- Great viewing angle! Much better than my previous Samsung DLP TV. The LG 60PK950 is bright and clear even at 160 degrees.
- Power consumption is much lower than last year's model. I think it uses somewhere around 150 200 watts depending on what's being shown. Still more than LED LCD which can be below 100 watts. Previous plasma TVs consume up to 500 or more watts.
My only less than stellar' comments for this LG 60PK950 are:
- I wish it had Pandora radio and another movie source in the widget list. LG 60PK950 has VuDu (which is cool), You Tube, and Netflix; but I was hoping it would also have the CinemaNow that is included with LG's Blu-ray players. I'm hoping it will be included in a future software update.
- DTS audio is not decodable from video on a thumb drive. It will play 1080p high quality video from the USB ports, but audio seems more limited.
- This LG 60PK950 TV just missed the cut for 3D, but my personal thought is that 3D will not be mainstream until the glasses aren't required. If you must have 3D, LG just released the PX950 line, but it will be pricey for several months.
- More glare than my DLP TV. Initially I was a bit disappointed at this, but when you combine a plasma picture (not as bright as LED) with a solid glass front, some glare during daylight is unavoidable. My solution was to turn up the brightness a bit and draw the blinds for daytime viewing. If you are a constant daytime viewer, you may want to consider another model. But for me, I mostly watch in the evening and the picture is just stunningly beautiful with rich colors and great contrast and black levels!
All in all, I love this LG 60PK950 and highly recommend it. The most important aspect is the TV's picture quality and the look/style in your room. This LG 60PK950 gets the highest marks for both. The rest is icing on the cake in my opinion. Do your research and it you pick this LG 60PK950, you won't be disappointed." by Tony Lopes
