Product Description

LG brings the power of plasma to the people with the 50PC5D. This extremely bright panel has a 1500cd/m² brightness rating and a 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for stunning picture quality. To ensure that the picture quality lasts as long as possible image sticking minimization technologies work to eliminate burn in of static images. Covering the screen is a Clear Filter Pro film to increase contrast and reduce reflection and glare. LG provided plenty of inputs on the back panel for all of your equipment. There are 2 HDCP compliant HDMI ports and 2 Component video ports for your HD sources. There is also an S-Video port, a D-Sub for your computer and a composite video in for non-HD sources. So, no matter what it is, hook it up and enjoy. Since video is only part of the equation, LG added SRS TruSurround XT surround sound to the TV for exceptional sound. The speakers are bottom mounted to keep the set width down so it will fit in a wide range of cabinets. There is also an optical audio out to send the sound through your home theater system.

This review is from: LG 50PC5D 50-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV (Electronics)

We purchased this TV a couple of months ago for our bedroom and we've been very happy with the end result. The picture is great for the situation in which we're using it. Plasma screens have a shiny finish, as opposed to the matte finish of an LCD, so make sure you place it in an area where light doesn't bounce off of it directly. Also, we knew we'd be 8 to 10 feet back from the screen. This is an ideal viewing depth to blur out pixilation you'll notice if you're right in front of it. There's also the high contrast ratio on this model - 15,000:1, which greatly adds to the sharpness and brigthness of the images. Side-by-side comparison with higher-resolution plasmas with lower contrast ratios solidified our choice. Overall, a great set for the money!
