Listing of Inputs
By Joe Odenweller
This is a review of the LG 60PV250 60-Inch 1080p TruSlim Frame Plasma TV. I did not purchase this from Amazon (Black Friday deal elsewhere for $799). The screen is beautiful, but I've had it out of the box for 1 day and am no expert. What I can address is the lack of information on inputs. If you search for this model in google, you will find the Australian version, not the same. This TV has the following inputs:Back:HDMI/DVI 1 and 2RGB IN (VGA)Component 1 and 2AV IN 1 (Composite plus Audio L&R)Optical Digital Audio OutAudio IN (RGB/DVI) 3.5mmRemote Control IN 3.5mmSide (points to side, but usable for back):HDMI/DVI 3AV IN 2 (Composite plus Audio L&R)

By Martin Murphy
Yes, I'm giving this a five star rating for exceeding all my expectations for a $870 out the door plasma. Like many people, I caught the holiday fire sale using all the discount gift cards, but that the post 2011 Christmas season. I have been pleasantly surprised by the television. I am using a flush mounting kit Peerless SUF661 Ultra Slim Flat Wall Mount for 37"-65" TVs (Black). I've now owned the screen for over three months. There are a number of problems that I will list for you to consider before buying this screen. Remember everything comes at a cost.PROBLEMS:* some people will see a flickering of the screen. I think I can sometimes see it flicker. One friend of mine finds this LG totally unacceptable to watch. Luckily, the family and I are not sensitive to this problem.* hooking your high end remote system that drives product though mono-mini 3.5mm cabling, requires a $100 conversion box by Audioplex (RC-LGI). This is not available through Amazon. It tends to be used by home theater integrators, and is priced accordingly I have purchased one because I have a Universal MRF-350 RF Base Station base unit driving my HT. The first Audioplex arrived non-functional. It was sent back to them, but it has not arrived back. If you plug a mono mini 3.5mm cable between any IR distribution box, it will not work. AND, by inserting a cable in the back, it disables the front IR pickup (nice feature?!).* you will need to purchase 90º turn cabling for the back if you want to keep the screen as flush as possible on the wall, it does look nice that way. The above Peerless mount will allow enough space against the wall, but just barely enough if using the 90º turn hardware. Here is a list of some of the products I purchased to achieve the required clearance in the back:Gold Plated, Red Hdmi Male to Hdmi Female Right Angle 90 Degree Angle Adapter RedRight Angle Gold RCA Adapter Female to Male 10 PackSyba SD-HMM-HMF-L 90-degree L-Shape HDMI (19-pin) Male to HDMI (19-pin) Female ConnectorGold F Right Angle Adapter* once you want to see the best bright color, you will be turning off the power saving mode, meaning that you will be burning over 400 watts in bright scenes.POSITIVES:* the color is what is expected, remember to look up in the product discussion boards around the internet for custom screen control settings and you will have a videophile experience if you are not as sensitive to the flashing issues as others are. Search for both LG 60PV250 AND 60PV450 settings, they are basically the same.* it is a very thin looking television. For me it is flush enough, since I am not willing to spend $2000 more to get it a few inches closer to the wall.* you can save half the energy by using the power saver modes. I just choose to see the television at full brightness. It will be a long time before the power consumption would have made up for the difference in price that a simular quality image LED screen would have cost, if ever.* no frills, no 3D. I do not want a handicapped SMART TV on my wall. I use a computer as a HTPC, Apple Mac Mini MC936LL/A with Lion Server (NEWEST VERSION). So I have better control of internet streaming and browsing and recording of HD content using SiliconDust HDHomeRun Dual High Definition Digital Television HDHR3-US (Black). Having three of the these SiliconDust tuners allows me to record six HD streams at the same time, very reliably using EyeTV software that you get by buying one of the tuners with the Mac SW included Elgato HDHomeRun Network Dual Tuner for HDTV for Mac or PC (10023030). No need to buy three of the Elgato versions at a premium, just need one copy of the software. I haven't needed more than three tuners ever at the same time.This is one beautiful plasma. No more crap added into the tv than I wanted, just a quality image. This may not be a KURO or a gigantic 3D machine, but then again, this will not break the bank either. And I see it playing nice with my very good quality AV equipment, some of which is very old. I am expecting to have the screen working well with my remote system soon, but I knew that that would be a project in itself to get it to coordinate. This is good enough of a screen that I might have considered paying much more for it, even full Amazon price.UPDATE Dec. 16, 2012: The family is still extremely happy with the LG plasma. And I mean extremely. I have also thinned out my collection of A/V inputs a great deal, including controlling multiple room sound. By doing that, I converted to a Logitech Harmony Touch remote control Logitech Harmony Touch Universal Remote with Color Touchscreen - Black (915-000198) using just infrared control. It's not guaranteed to communicate to the system every time because it needs line of sight, but it is so much more simpler to program. I may not have the computer and other items behind AV doors (nice and spouse friendly), but the minimal stack of items is much more spouse friendly in ease of quickly making changes to the remote and less complication for everything. I have a lengthy review of the Touch which includes a note that the LG 60PV450 controls work better than the 60PV250. As far as what is essential AV components, I include the following; Mac Mini, Squeezebox, turntable and receiver. I still have to have a headphone amplifier connected to allow listening when others need quiet. Lucky those who have large enough spaces!

Not a review, just info you might want.
By G. Fadie
If you've come across this at a big box store or here on Amazon and are doing research, you may find that information on this TV is pretty hard to find. Even the LG website doesn't acknowledge its existance. So it must be something they make specifically for big box stores and don't want to bother dealing with themselves. That doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy when I think about how their customer service on this unit might be. But then again, who needs customer service on a TV? And if it's deffective, one big box store includes a 2 year warranty. Anywho, the reason I am writing this is to help you find the owner's manual so that you can get a real look at the specs. It turns out that the owner's manual for the 60PV450 covers this model too. So if you go to LG's web site, and either search for or navigate to the 60PV450, you can click on the product support page and find the owner's manual there. I hope this helps.Oh yeah, this model does not support any of the new "Smart TV" features like streaming Internet content or surfing the web. There is no wired Ethernet or wireless (WiFi) connectivity. But what do you expect at this price? Besides, most blu-ray players do that anyway.
