Buyer Evaluations

OK, I adore this tv. It is entirely silent, cool running, remarkable picture (following adjusting the settings appropriately) and had all of the capabilities I wanted for a price point that couldn't be passed up.
Pros:
three HDMI ports
Silent even with my ear suitable next to the set
Rotatable stand (my wife hates being off center but her chair is far to the left so she can rotate it to face her)
Decent speakers (get loud sufficient but absolutely nothing mind blowing but not poor either)
NO BLUE LEDs, infact when the set is on NO LEDs are on at all. Just a tiny red one particular for standby which turns off when the set turns on
Loads of advanced settings on the market without having getting to enter into locked service menus.
Image is vivid in my opinion (not LED Tv vibrant but additional than enough for my desires)
Cost (paid 6 c-notes through Fry's easter deal)
Super rapid response time (no lag at all in any games)
No real burn-in issues even with games being played (soon after the initially 100hr burn-in time where static pictures were avoided).
After calibration outstanding rich blacks.
Neither right here nor there:
Touch sensitive buttons on front panel (cool as hell but can be a bit annoying attempting to hit a button in the dark).
USB video and pictures (do not seriously use this at all)
Cons:
No bells and whistles (not a con for me but maybe for other individuals).
Like any shiny Television glare is an problem.
Settings out of the box leave something to be desired at most beneficial.
Not 3D (when once more I did not want this but for other people this maybe a con).
Now with all of that mentioned, if you don't use a excellent advanced calibration profile this Tv can be pretty off on the image at points (whites a bit yellow, more than saturation on particular colors, dim screen etc.). I utilised the calibration settings posted by blacknoir at the avsforum and then did the image wizard to tweak it a bit further and the difference is absolutely nothing short of unbelievable. Crisp whites, wonderful contrast, skin is the appropriate color, and so on. This set became by far the most natural looking set I have observed in a extended time. Now thoughts you this natural searching set would not sell in retailers next to the heavily over exposed settings they use to catch your eye. It wouldn't help if I talked about all of this with out posting my settings for you. So here we go.
If I have any comments or explanations I will post them next to the setting. Also, these will not replace the quality of a qualified calibration considering that all panels are slightly distinct. That being said this will get you fairly close.
Settings made use of:
Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Energy Saving: Off
Picture Mode: Professional 1 (Specialist two is fine as properly, these are just two slots to shop an advanced profile and access the advanced settings)
Contrast: 77 (will likely modify after Image Wizard but this is a excellent starting point)
Brightness: 53 (will likely change immediately after Picture Wizard but this is a really good beginning point)
H. Sharp: 39 (will likely change immediately after Image Wizard but this is a decent starting point)

Now comes the IRE element. This element is a bit confusing in how it is implemented. Essentially, every single time you pick an IRE worth treat the values below it as a new set of values. Why they did it this way I have no clue. Anyways here are the values (as you will see some are Definitely far off):
Also incase you can't figure it out r=red g=green b=blue.
5 ire r= g= b=
10 ire r=-16 g= b=-36
15 ire r= g= b=
20 ire r=-17 g=-13 b=-34

There we go. As you can see it will take some operate to enter these in. Don't forget just after entering these to run the picture wizard to tweak the brightness and contrast and stuff. Right after all of this you will have an Amazing lifelike set.
PS: All TVs must have this performed since even the top Tv makers design their presets to sell the TVs not to have the most all-natural appear (vivid sells in the shop but looks like crap at dwelling).
EDIT: In response to a question to this assessment: Film Mode will only be out there if the supply material is 1080p or 1080i. Any other resolution will result in the Film Mode choice to be blurred out. So in that case just ignore it.
EDIT2 (1/72011): THe user computertech pointed out a typo in my calibration settings list. The blue setting for IRE 80 should really have been -50 and I had left off the -. I have updated the chart but if you set it prior to this update, please note the adjust. Sorry for the mistake.

I've owned this plasma for a week now and purchased it in the store for $800 plus tax. Im a videophile and am a picky person when it comes to my tv's. This is the 3rd set ive owned in two years. The initially was an lg 1080p 55 inch, properly that is went south quick given that quickly moving images would come to be blocky so I took it back. Then I bought a 32 1080p sony LCD and it the image looked very good somtimes but most of the time it had blotchy colors and terrible shadow particulars no matter what setting you utilised, then the screen started to band (dark lines on it). Then I went to samsung LED and the back light bleed in all corners ruined movies for me the tech came to fix it and produced it worst, took it back the next day.
Ok so I went seeking for a new plasma, which ive heard usually created films appear better, and plasmas are favorites by most individuals who watch a lot of movies. Ive normally been scared off by the burn in impact. So immediately after a lot of analysis I got this a single the price tag and picture was I was searching for. I will say this on the picky side of issues for movie lover. The 16x9 black bars you see on most films with not be pitch black, they are Highly close but no matter what ya you do they will be a few shades off. They are even in color and it doesn't bother me compared to the LCD/LED ones that are black in the middle and grey on the ends. Also this television has some sort of Fluid motion tech built into it, much like 120 hz Lcds have it makes the motion way more fluid. No plasmas don't have to have this since they work differently, but LG should believe folks want films to look extra life like, but the fluid motion ruins movies and makes them appear low-priced and make the motions look also rapid for their personal wonderful. My only complaint is I don't know how to turn this feature off. I see a film mode solution, but it wont let me select it The image colors are wealthy and sharp and if you tweak them you will discover what your looking for.
It does have burn in protection selections, no troubles with any burn in, but im careful and dont leave static images on for incredibly lengthy. Now let me give you a heads up on ghosting/ image retention. Occasionally if you leave for ex: a dvd menu with static pictures on for about five-ten minutes and then you go to a dark screen you will noticed some of that menu still. DONT BE SCARED, this will go away within a minute and is regular, its just the phospers fading away and as soon as one more pictures comes on the screen it washes all the old stuff off, it will NOT impact the pic quality. So following two LCDS AND 1 LED I went to plasma and am lastly happy with the sturdy top quality of the screen and the 600 hz the tv has to supply, no much more shuttery images and back light bleed.
