Reviews of the LG 50PG60

CNET Review
The Good: Highly accurate primary colors in THX mode; solid video processing; superb feature set with numerous picture controls; fine connectivity with four HDMI and one PC input; beautiful external design.
The Bad: Expensive; less accurate color decoding and grayscale in THX mode; produces lighter blacks than the best plasmas; some false contouring.
The Bottom Line: Although its THX mode isn't as accurate as we'd like to see, the LG 50PG60 50-inch plasma TV still delivers a good picture.
