LG 50PV450 50" Plasma w/ PlayStation 3 & Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Just a quick shot of my newly acquired LG plasma from Sears! I love this TV! The picture is crazy sharp, motion blur is nill, and the price was outstanding. I highly recommend this set.

Video shot on an iPhone. Please note that the flicker seen in the video is just a sync issue between my cameras recording frame rate and the TV's refresh rate. Exposure is obviously out of whack as well being in a dark room, camera couldn't figure out where proper exposure was.

I will post another video with my HD camcorder tomorrow.

Are you getting any image retention or burn in playing consoles on your PV450? Because I got a similar LG a few months ago and even playing for 10 minutes leaves terrible HUD IR for over an hour which sucks and I'm scared using the same game will lead to burn in. Now I can't play and think of anything other than whats happening to the panel!

@TwentyEightySeven Nope no burn-in issues. As mentioned in some of my other replies I do get some IR but it literally goes away within 60 seconds of switching out of the game back to a movie or TV. I've never had anything stick for longer than that. Don't think about it, just play. If you are really worried about it just do a color wash on it after you are done playing each time and it will get rid of it within a minute.

Dude awesome. Convinced the wife on this tv. I used to have a 54 inch viera,but then I took an arrow in the knee. Also it had a shitload of lag. I'm getting this one in 3 weeks bitches.

@redpepper75 Good choice, this set is still going strong for me and I still love it as much as the day I unboxed it. I want a bigger one now though, I just saw an ad for the 60" version of this for $999 at Best Buy.

@minority86 Negative, it was a Panasonic.

@FragTek The other "50 inch plasma" you saw at sears was probably the Zenith 50 inch TV. It is identical to the LG. They both use the same panels and they both have the same innards of the insid of the TV. Look it up. Many people on AVS forum confirmed it. The Zenith is cheaper too. Its on sale on some website for $522. Saw it on slick deals.

@Donatello97 Panny makes the best plasma sets in my opinion, at least if you are looking at a high end set. If you are looking at budget sets like I was, I think LG has a slight advantage in the low end price range. They had a comparable 50" Panny at the same price sitting right next to the LG at Sears when I was shopping and I liked the picture and colors better on this LG so I went with it. I'd definitely go with the 1080 set though, I don't think I could ever own another 720 set. :)

@FragTek

I was at aound 9/12 feet and i still kind of noticed it, only when i was in control of the camera and zipping it around. but then again, you really have to look for it to really notice it. How's the phosper trailing on this set? I feel like I'm pretty much done with my LCD.The motion handeling and weak black levels are getting on my nerves.i was thinking of going with either the Panasonic ST30 42" 1080p plasma or the LG 720p PT350 42" plasma, not too sure yet, need to test them out.

@Donatello97 If you notice the dithering you either sit way to close to the set or you have your brightness cranked way way too high.
