Steve , Newcastle

+ The picture is excellent when watching popular standard definition TV (Freeview) where many other TV's I found especially the LCD ones were too grainy and had motion blur which a plasma does not suffer from. The USB 2.0 slot for a memory stick or external HDD is excellent and photographs show up in Full HD 1920x1080 resolution and look fantastic played in a slideshow. You can even select some music off the pen drive whilst watching them. MP3 Music also plays great and with a basic but workable windows explorer style interface that you can use folders to put each music album into. The photos bit alone really impresses guests!
Don't be worried about going for a large 50" TV just purchase a low 30cm glass stand and it makes the TV look less like a feature rather than having it fitted high up ona wall or taller stand. As they say many people who purchase a TV always have regret they did not go for the larger screen whilst very few actually say that they wished they bought a smaller one. Also if you do connect it to a BlueRay player in Full HD it is recommended that you should be sitting pretty close to it to actually be able to perceive all the resolution. (7ft according to some websites for a 50" TV)
LCD vs Plasma was a big debate of mine but if you watch lots of movies and standard definition TV I found that Plasma was much smoother and gives better contrasts esp for darker movies. If you plan to use the TV for a lot of gaming or connect to a PC then I would however possibly go with LCD. LG47LH3000/4000 is a good cheap alternative for games.
Overall this LG Plasma as far as I'm aware is excellent value for money and is definately recommended over a more expensive brand TV.

- Sound volume even at lowest is quite high (but not that much of a problem)
Intellisensor may annoy you at times as it always tries to adjust the brightness to suit the room (however it can easily be switched off) LG may be able to smooth and lessen this effect in future Firmware upgrade.
As its a plasma care needs to be taken for the first 100-200hrs as to not leave images fixed on the screen but this is only a minor concern vs LCD.

+ The LG 50PS3000 PLASMA is very stylish. It was very simple to set up and is easy to use. This is my first full HD T.V. and when watching programmes in High Definition, the pictures are superb. The colours are absolutely brilliant.

- An earphone jack would have been great on this TV. The volume, even when it is at 1, is still fairly loud if you are watching TV at night in a quiet room. This isn't exactly the worst thing in the world on a TV.

Stevo, Maldon, Essex

+ Full HD, great cinema like experience - big screen, Perfect for playing games on my Wii and PS3 with *game* mode screen setting, Almost perfect for watching DVDs on *cinema* mode as the picture quality is perfect but the sound is a very low when compared to watching normal tv. Overall this TV is easy to set up and has lots of different image settings for you to play about with and no regrets at all with going for a 50inch instead of a 42inch, it may sound big, but you do get used to the size straight away and doesn`t actually seem that big after a while.

- When playing DVDs the sound gets a lot lower and you almost have to turn it up full volume with some dvds though i dont know if this is normal with a lot of HD televisions, probably has something to do with the dvd player is a different brand from the TV. One last thing is the TV does build up a lot a of heat after a couple of hours of watching, you can feel it from standing a only a couple of feet away (though this could be because it`s such a huge TV and plasmas build up more heat than LCD`S but still the picture quality is better with the plasma`s so no regrets there) so probably best to switch the tv off at the mains instead of turning it off via the power on/off switch after using the tv.

+ Overall fantastic product, very pleased with purchase. Image quality is great, had heard that some people thought the sound was "tinny" but I totally disagree - it is much better than any of my exisiting tvs. There are lots of different ways of altering settings to set the tv up the way you want, but even if you just decide to use the defaults these are pretty good too. This is a high spec tv but it is very reasonably priced, unlike some other tvs of comparable standard.

- High gloss finish can make watching tv on a sunny day a bit difficult, but this is only a minor issue.

+ The TV has everything you would need.
- 1080p
- 3x HDMI
- Mega High Contrast Ratio
- USB port to play music and display photo's
Everything on the TV looks stunning and the colours are rich and vivid and Blu-Ray's look even better and the sound is particularly good. There is lots of options to change the picture or sound to suit your preference.

- The only bad point I would say about the TV is that it does seem to get screen burn quite easily such as the GMTV logo may appear on the TV even after changing channel however it does eventually go away after a few minutes of being on a different channel. Although there is an option for a White Wash display to get rid of any that don't seem to disappear but I've not had that problem yet.

+ Excellent picture, sound and is very easy to use - HD looks amazing on it - great value for money

- If you have the contrast or screen up too bright to start with, you notice channel logo shadows stay on the screen for a while after the channel has been switched over - however the whitewash feature resolves this.
The trick is to keep contrast low for a couple of weeks and gradually increase, as the tv begins to bed in.

+ fantastic tv, I like the light sensor feature, it adapts the picture to the light of the room maintaining its clarity in all light circumstances. Set up took only few minutes.

- cannot see any.

flapper, Derby

+ Fantastic picture, fantastic price, sound sounds great, great price, what more do you want?
Remember you get a much better viewing angle with this plasma, my other tv, which is a lcd 40" tv goes dark when viewed from an angle (any angle)!

- Wish it had 4 hdmi outlets, it only has three, otherwise no bad points.

Roy, Lytham St Annes

+ Easy to use and set up. Excellent sound and good picture quality overall. Very stylish product.

- Picture not always as clear when watching football, when camera view is changing quickly - even if set to Sport mode. Check that you have power and aerial points on the left of your wall as you look at the TV otherwise you will have to run cable right across the wall (which isnt great if you are looking to wall mount)

+ IT LOOKS GREAT, HD PICTURE IS FANTASTIC,NON HD PICTURE ONCE AJUSTED IS VERY GOOD.

- NO MANUAL, ONLY A COMPUTER DISC, IF ONE IS AVALIABLE I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFULL. NOT SURE ABOUT THE SOUND AS I DONT KNOW TO USE IT! IF I KNEW HOW TO USE MORE OF THE SETTINGS I AM SURE THAT I WOULD RATE THIS TV HIGHER. MY COMPUTER WILL NOT PLAY THE DISC CONSEQUENTLEY WITH NO WRITTERN MANUAL ITS DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHAT THE VARIOUS OPTIONS DO.

+ Everything runs smoothly full HD is pretty much perfect.

- USB slot not too great keeps disconnecting my ipod. Screen burn you get with all plasma (dont pause a DVD for too long) sound range is poor worth getting a home cinema kit with it.

Fred, Ardrossan Ayrshire , “High spec fanatic” More like this »

+ The TV is a nice piece of furniture which blends in with many differing furnishings,it looks good and the picture quality is very good. I also have a sony flat screen which is very nice,but I would say, there is little to differentiate between the picture quality bearing in mind that the Sony was much more expensive. So overall ,yes I would certainly recommend that it is worth looking at.

TV Buyers Guide  

Manufacturer's Description

Zero Motion Blur with Splitting Second Response Time
LG 600Hz Sub-Field Driving Plasma technology provides zero motion blur and the ultimate razor sharp response time perfect for watching high speed viewing such as sports and movies.

Image processing system to optimize picture quality
Dual XD Engine is upgraded from XD Engine, LG’s own core technology for picture quality. The new algorithm of Dual XD Engine expresses amazingly accurate color by enhancing colour correction, contrast, visibility in dark area and sharpness.

Customized modes for the content of your choice
LG TVs have three special modes (Cinema, Sport and Game modes) for enhanced picture and audio quality. These are easily accessible using the AV MODE hot key on the remote control.

The power to control only the volume of voices
Sometimes when watching films it is difficult to hear voices over the background sound of their environment. The clear voice feature adjusts the sound balance to emphasise voices and reduce background noise.

Great sounds is meant to be heard, not seen!
The front bezel works as a speaker, replacing the normal speaker grill. With the Invisible Speaker System, the speakers are embedded in strategic spots underneath and around the front bezel. They enhance the audio by increasing the ‘sweet spot’ to give a wider and richer sound field.

A Big Screen TV that Delivers Big Savings
The Backlight control function controls the brightness of the TV, while the Screen Off function lets you switch off the screen while keeping the sound alive. Stand by Mode 0 function sets your TV to a power saving mode where zero electricity is used. Added to these 3 basic power saving functions is the Intelligent Sensor function that controls automatically the brightness and the colour of the picture in accordance the brightness and the colour of the viewing area. These are just some of the reasons why the majority of LG TVs have been certified by the Energy Saving Trust to save you money off your electricity bills.
