I would highly recommend this TV for anyone not looking to spend a fortune on a good quality flat panel television.
The other day I upconverted my dvds to 1080p and noticed the TV picked up the signal as 1080/60p. Then i figured wow I got a 1080p television at a 720p plasma tv price. What a nice tv, I was able to display 1920 by 1080 resolution from my pc vga output even though the picture is a little washed out because of vga resolution limitations. I will try to go DVI out to HDMI and see if there's a difference in picture quality. The picture on 480p, 720p, and 1080i were all great. I guess when you have a 42inch television standard definition doesn't get dragged out and blurred like the larger 50 plus inch television. This tv displays everything I threw at it greatly. I looked at my friend's Samsung LN40B650 with 120 hz and noticed my LG 42" plasma displays football games alot better with no blurs. One caveat is that this LG plasma has one of the best hdtv tuners that I've seen. It picks up all the digital channels in my area with no artifacts and i'm only using old rabbit ears antenna that I bought for $10 ten years ago. Nevertheless, this TV is a plasma so lights need to be minimized to eliminate the glare.
This Flat screen has some very nice features. It has a senor that really helps the picture in all types of lighting. 3 different view settings (cinema, sports & game)which after switching to game while playing my PS3 the picture got even better. i would recommend this set to anybody in the market for a great plasma with a semi tight budget. I will definately look into buying the 50" LG Plasma when i decide to replace my other Plasma.
I also still think the picture quality in general are sharper when it comes to plasmas compared to LCD's. Certainly deeper blacks and crisper images.
Thank you LG!
right off the bet, I knew 3 very important things
1. I'm getting a name-brand ( either Sony, Panasonic, LG or Samsung)
2. I'm getting a Plasma ( my brother own a Mitsubishi 50" for 4 years, a model that is no longer in production and cost over $3k, and any TV I've seen never came close to this one, so LCD was out. btw, to all you LCD and LED lovers, I say this: nothing comes close to a Plasma picture quality)
3. I have to find a good deal. I don't know about you, but if I buy somthing and I find it cheaper couple of months later, it will bother me and prices are going down all the time
In the last month, when I was close to make my decision, I was almost sure I'm buying the Panasonic 42" and my only concern was that it didn't have a PC input, and since I watch movies on my computers (netflix)I thougt it will be nice to have. make story short I found this one at HHGregg and it had 3 HDMI, PC and it looked good too. they gave me a good price too. I paid $535.00 for it.
Took it home and hook up was easy, did not have an HD cable box for the first night and was frustrated. After getting all the Cords and HD box I tuned in to ABC news and i went ...WOW.
the PICTURE quality is amazing, colors are true without any adjustment ( set it to Cinema and turned off the energy saving). no bleeding of colors, brightness is great and motion is flawless. no need to worry about that with Plasma. 600 HZ, no LCD comes close.
the SOUND is OK. I never cared about it because I have it hooked up to a 5.1 receiver but I have to say that the TV speakers are not bad. the base is...well, not there ( like any other TV in this price ) but mids and highs pretty nice.
I was very happy with the construction quality, build and looks of this unit. It is made very well with no cheap plastics.
I gave it only 4 stars because there is better Tv's out there and I know you can find one, however, it will cost you much more. I also know that 1080p will show better picture with blue-ray player but for now I have no plan to get one.
One more thing: when the picture is dark you will find light reflection on the screen. it doesn't bother me and I have no idea how it will show on LCD screen but from all the reviews I read I know some people might have an issue in a room with a lot of light.
Bottom line: worth every penny! very happy, and to be honest I can't believe I am. I never expected to find this quality at this price.
