5.0 out of 5 stars 3D TV done right August 4, 2011

By Vynny VINE™ VOICE

My previous TV was a three-year old Panasonic HDTV 50" plasma and so I'm able to review this TV with some experience with another set that had similar specifications. I wasn't expecting massive leaps in image quality and merely purchased this TV because of the low price it was at and the fact that I wanted the 3D experience.

I have to say however that once tweaked, this set is leaps and bounds beyond my older TV. The image is clearer and is much brighter. Of course as I said you have to tweak it to get that perfect image and by far in a way the most essential tweak is to switch off the terrible energy saving option that infects this television. The theory is this 'intelligently' dims areas of the unneeded sections of the screen to save power since plasmas draw a lot of juice. The reality, however, is everything looks dirty and dim even at 100% brightness. In fact with the energy saving setting on, the more I tweaked things, the dimmer the TV seemed to get. Thankfully it's just a quick disable of this option and retina-burning brightness is the wonderful result. Just how I like it.

Once I was satisfied with the image settings I immediately played the IMAX 'Ultimate Wave Tahiti' 3D blu ray to stretch its legs. And I was blown away. Everything looked so clear yet... in 3D! And I love the fact that the menu options are also in 3D meaning that tweaking the depth settings whilst playing a 3D movie is extremely easy (and quite effectively bizarre).

Now there's a lot of features on this set - youtube, web browser, vudu, games, apps and so on and I've yet to try any of them. This is due to the fact that this 'wifi ready' set doesn't have wifi; you have to buy the LG AN-WF100 Wi-Fi USB Adaptor or use a cat5 cable. I almost dinged the overall rating stars because of this. Even sub-$100 gadgets like apple TV has wifi built in. I decided against the ding and have ordered the dongle but boy is it frustrating to spend four figures on a set up only to find you're missing a 1 inch long peripheral that cost $20 or so. This also means I haven't had chance to try the supplied extra mouse pointer wii-like remote controller (you also get a nice light-up normal remote) although it does look interesting.

Sound is also unused in my set up as I have a 7.1 receiver. Usually sound on these sets is passable but nothing to write home about - I can't imagine this set pumps out huge bass because it's so thin, but perhaps the speakers are in the base or something. In all honestly if you're getting this TV then you probably already have equipment that sounds better than the in built speakers though.

Almost certainly due to the high brightness that I have this set I do notice a lot of inherent memory. This is often thought to be burn-in on plasmas and I read in another review for this plasma TV that they were whitewashing the set every night to rectify it. Please don't do this! Temporary image retention is normal for a plasma and it self corrects itself fairly quickly once you start watching something else. This set 'suffers' from it no more than any other plasma that I've seen and I just wanted to put that out there in case you bought it and thought you'd ruined it with some burn in.

So what we have here is a utterly stunning TV that's got everything you need. It's ten steps ahead of my three year old plasma in all respects plus it's 70lbs lighter. I cannot recommend this TV highly enough regardless of whether you're into the 3D thing. What a great set.

1.0 out of 5 stars Loved it until it went RED! July 15, 2011

By Nancy E Thompson

I bought this TV (LG 50PZ750 plasma) for Father's Day and had it just less than a month. I LOVED it..easy to set up,remote easy to use, GREAT picture, accessed Netflix easily, yadayadayada...UNTIL one morning we turned it on, after having the power completely off, and the screen was tinted RED all over. After some time it would flicker between a normal picture and the black/red picture. I googled LG PLASMA PROBLEM and found something about LGs,Phillips, and Magnavox plasmas having this problem. Didn't need to read any more so I called AMAZON and asked to return it for a refund. I'm SOOOOO glad I bought it through Amazon...no hassel..no shipping charges..veerry easy. Their shipping company just comes to my house and picks it up.I was also just within the 30 day return limit. I'm replacing it with a Samsung Pn51D7000, a little pricier, but also a great deal on Amazon.
I STRONGLY suggest that any TV buyer do these 2 things:
1. SAVE the shipping box, you can't get a refund without it)
2. Buy an extended WArranty from SQUARETRADE.
I bought the warranty (4 yrs, about 135.00 with promocode on their site) and Squaretrade REFUNDED the entire amount since the TV was being returned. All in all, I loved the TV , but because I bought through Amazon I was able to get a full refund and not have to go through the Manufacturer's service process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 3D Plasma June 3, 2011

By rmsuriani

Size Name:60-Inch|Amazon Verified Purchase

I did a lot of research before finally deciding on the LG 60PZ750 reading reviews from other websites. The specs on the LG looked good, and it has a lot of extra features for the price. A friend mentioned they paid much more for a 60 inch w/out 3D.

Last night I watched my first sporting event in 3D, the NBA finals. I thought I would get tired of wearing the glasses, but they didn't bother me after my eyes adjusted. Basketball in 3D was amazing. A totally different perspective. I only wish they had the same announcers as the ABC broadcast?? 3D isn't for everyday use, but is great for big sporting events and movies.

The HD picture is great. I am still tinkering with the settings, but the game in "sport" mode looked great.

The TV is very thin, but heavy. Not a big deal, but you will need 2 people to mount it on a wall. I also purchased the wifi usb dongle and it worked great. I haven't watched a movie on netflix yet, so I can't comment on the quality. There are a ton of network features that I will begin to explore when time allows.

My only negative comment is the TV issues a warning when you switch to 3D mode, and the only way to turn it off is with the LG TV remote. I use a universal remote that controls Directv and my receiver when "watching TV" so I have to keep the little "wand" remote handy. I am sure I can modify the universal to fix this, or possibly turn off the warnings, but I haven't figured that out yet.
