LG Electronics 50PV450 50" 1080p Plasma TV
- No Longer Available
The LG 50PV450 50" 1080p Plasma TV packs a huge amount of great high-end specs and convenience features into a thin frame, which raises the plasma performance bar in its very reasonable price range.
The combination of dynamic contrast which delivers a ratio of 3,000,000:1, with 1080p HD makes the 50PV450 a remarkable TV by any standard. But that's just the beginning. Since every room is different, the 50PV450 employs an Intelligent Sensor to automatically calibrate the optimal settings to match the color and light level of your specific space. If you want to go a step further, Picture Wizard II allows easy do-it-yourself calibrations to suit your needs.
The 600Hz Subfield Drive flashes the plasma sub-pixels 10 times per second, rendering crystal-clear, judderless action which will definitely make gamers and sports fans happy. Additionally, the AV Mode (Cinema, Sports, Game) customizes your TV's output to fit the content. The 50PV450's wide connectivity includes three HDMI connections to accommodate current components and future purchases. A USB drive allows you to share slide shows and videos with your friends.

Comments about LG Electronics 50PV450 50" 1080p Plasma TV:
As being the lowest priced 1080 50" plasma TV available, I had my doubts about the quality, but those were soon dismissed upon usage. The swivel stand is a bonus in my weirdly shaped apartment, the 3 HDMI inputs are great for keeping my appliances plugged in and being able to hook up my laptop without unplugging anything, and the optical audio output (slight minus for being the only kind of audio out, but it worked out for me) makes for a great gaming/viewing setup. Mac users might bemoan the lack of a DVI input, but overall a great set for the price.

Comments about LG Electronics 50PV450 50" 1080p Plasma TV:
As with all plasma tv's you get some glare in brightly lit rooms - in darkened room the picture is superb, otherwise 5 stars. I feel this product hits the sweet spot considering screen size vs price and brand quality.

Comments about LG Electronics 50PV450 50" 1080p Plasma TV:
This is my 1st plasma after being with LCD for several years. I was at 1st a little anti plasma because of all the noise about screen burn in, glare, short lifespans etc., but as I was searching for a new t.v. specifically for playing video games & the occasional movie, I kept reading on forums how plasmas have higher refresh rates, displays blacks better & how the picture is always the same no matter what angle you are viewing from, kind of like a CRT monitor.Mostly gamers on the forums recommended plasma over LCD because of all the above & the fact that plasmas are generally cheaper.I chose the LG 50PV450 (6/22/11) because it has everything I wanted in a new t.v.; big screen, nice picture, good amount of jacks, not pricey. I was able to set this thing up myself stand and all.The default picture settings are definitely to be tweaked, but that's not a problem. You can select from several settings or set your own in 2 of your own personally tweaked 'expert' picture settings allotments.The speakers are decent but I muted those (there is a setting for that) because I have a home theater sound system connected via the optical port.You can label the inputs for easy access to all your connected equipment.After adjusting the settings, which took about 20 minutes, I was ready to get my game on. Games are bright and just refreshingly crisp. It's like I'm playing a different game and seeing things I didn't see before. Response time is flawless.I was expecting some generic remote, but this thing is well made & just well designed. Has a backlight.There is glare, but not to the point of OMG I can't see that because of the glare. Nothing some closed blinds or shades can't fix.All though I'm still tempted to mount it, the swivel stand is awesome.[...]I'm happy with my purchase.
