>> Okay Now I m Happy
I returned a Samsung UN32C5000 and bought this one see review of the Sammy here on Amazon
I purchased this set from somewhere else Dad has a retiree discount so I got it cheaper but otherwise would had no problem buying from here
I only had the set for a few days but I really like it so far I m doing a break in period for the set not really necessary but helps age the phosphor evenly so the settings are a little low right now but still fantastic I watched two BD movies so far The Hurt Locker StarTrek and they were awesome to watch Colors were vivid and the detail kept my eyes popping out lol I don t know if I ever could be happy going back to DVDs again lol
Note on plasma Tvs Burn In has not been an issue with plasma TVs for quite a few years but you may still get some Image Retention I have seen very little IR on this set and what did show up quickly went away I wouldn t even consider it an issue
I know Samsung has been having problems with loud buzzing sound coming from their plasma TVs and a few heard it from other manufacturers as well including LG but I cannot hear any buzz coming from mine I even held my head up to the TV and the only hum I heard was the mini frig in the room
The screen is very uniform in lighting Probably my only wish would be for darker blacks My set is not calibrated yet so I know it will go darker than it is now It s not bad mind you but you can tell where the black bars end from a movie and the black bezel begins which would disappear with the darkness of the room
For the Gamers As far as I can tell there is very little lag or none at all I tried a couple games ie GTAIV Crackdown and got into a Semi truck What I would do was pull the right trigger as fast as I could to go into reverse which causes the back ups lights to come on with the beeping sound Even closing my eyes I would hear the click from the trigger at the same time as the reverse beep The controls even felt the same coming from a computer TN Panel monitor
Just to point out this TV does have a glossy screen My complaint with the Sammy was they stated it eliminated reflections but it was mirror like The reflections are not as bad on this set and at least I knew about it ahead of time
So overall I am real happy right now with this set

>> LGpk550 Gorgeous TV
Well I got my pk550 on tuesday So far i m in love Watching blu rays on my ps3 is a new experience I want to go through all my movies and watch them again The panel is just sexy For my ps3 for blu rays I use cinema mode obviously recalibrated and the picture is so smooth and crisp My brother noticed right away how smooth and real the movement was For my xbox 360 im using Game Mode recalibrated as well I ve been playing mass effect 2 and it s way more vibrant and rich I have no issue with IR or burn in As long as you set your tv to Orbiter and do a color wash every so often it cleans away any IR in a matter of seconds
I was very nervous as this was my first plasma and i read about burn ins and IR But after only 3 days and doing research I feel more confident in the tv and plasmas in general I just do the color wash mode sometimes when im gone to break in it/speed the break in process up If im playing a game that has a HUD on for a while ill pause the game and do a quick color wash for about 10 seconds and set it back to orbiter and keep playing Now this may sound annoying but honestly it s not You get used to it and get real quick at using the tv
Also the pk550 has a load of calibration options I love that Anyway it s a great tv def best bang for you buck for a 50 1080p plasma This is my first plasma and it s an LG I have much more faith in plasmas now Especially lg Pick this set up
>> 2nd plasma
I won t bore you with the specs or feature sets of this t v or what I have my setting at If you are looking at purchasing a new t v and are on a budget then this is the t v for you However for 200 bucks more you could move up to the 750 LG has done an impressive job with there sets I love my 550 and will stick with LG for the foreseeable future as should you They are truly beautiful sets
