Absolutely wonderful picture!
By TK-2243
I received my 60pk950 about a week ago and absolutely love it. This was my first HDTV purchase and I spents months researching different brands and models. I was originally set on buying a Panasonic, but the refusal to own up to the rising blacks and floating blacks steered me away. Why give money to a company that won't admit to issues with their products? I bought an LG BD390 after reading stellar reviews on the blu-ray player and that led me to considering one of their televisions. I joined the AVS forums and spents months reading threads and posts on most brands and models available. My concensus is that the LG owners had the least amount of issues. Samsungs frequently buzz and the Panasonics have black issues. LG seems to be the underdog, so they are really out to impress their customers.As for the TV, I love the picture and blu-ray discs look fantastic. I imagine that they look just as solid on the 60PK550, but I wanted the bells and whistles that the 950 offered. Also, the Trublack filter DOES make a difference. Here's the deal, glass reflects so you will never have a TV that has no reflection at all, but the filter greatly diminished that issue. Very happy with that. I had thought about getting an LED, but since I pretty much only watch films, the "soap opera" look to LED/LCD drove me nuts. If you prefer the cinematic look, plasma is really the only way to go. I can understand why people like LED, but it wasn't for me.I am not a video expect, but to me, the picture looks great. I can stream Netflix with no problem using the wifi dongle (included) and the widgets are moderately cool. They are nothing to get excited about, but I'm sure more will be added over time. Blu-rays look stunning. I can't stress that enough. This TV is 60" and I can sit 5 feet away and not notice any breakup at all. Smooth as day. I also have an Xbox 360 hooked up and haven't noticed any lag issues at all. Buy this TV. If you don't need the Trublack filter, Netcast or widgets, the 550 should suit you fine.

By Tony L
I purchased my LG 60PK950 about a month ago after several months of research comparing plasma with LED/LCD; I am VERY impressed with this TV! It is LG's 'top of the line' plasma, so it has all the bells and whistles you could expect. Here are the things I like best:- High quality picture, with beautiful colors and excellent black levels (thanks to the new tru-black filter)- Internet widgets work great and are easy to setup- Excellent value for your dollar. I got this TV at a great price (substantially under $2000) and it compares easily to TV's close to $1000 higher in price.- Minimal plasma effects (image retention, ghosting). I have never seen any ghosting or image retention artifacts. From what I've read, if they do show up, you can easily remove them by running an IR program overnight to clean up the artifacts.- Great viewing angle! Much better than my previous Samsung DLP TV. The LG is bright and clear even at 160 degrees.- Power consumption is much lower than last year's model. I think it uses somewhere around 150 - 200 watts depending on what's being shown. Still more than LED LCD which can be below 100 watts. Previous plasma TV's consume up to 500 or more watts.My only 'less than stellar' comments for this TV are:- I wish it had Pandora radio and another movie source in the widget list. It has VuDu (which is cool), You Tube, and Netflix; but I was hoping it would also have the CinemaNow that is included with LG's Blu-ray players. I'm hoping it will be included in a future software update.- DTS audio is not decodable from video on a thumb drive. It will play 1080p high quality video from the USB ports, but audio seems more limited.- This TV just missed the cut for 3D, but my personal thought is that 3D will not be mainstream until the glasses aren't required. If you must have 3D, LG just released the PX950 line, but it will be pricey for several months.- More glare than my DLP TV. Initially I was a bit disappointed at this, but when you combine a plasma picture (not as bright as LED) with a solid glass front, some glare during daylight is unavoidable. My solution was to turn up the brightness a bit and draw the blinds for daytime viewing. If you are a constant daytime viewer, you may want to consider another model. But for me, I mostly watch in the evening and the picture is just stunningly beautiful with rich colors and great contrast and black levels!All in all, I love this TV and highly recommend it. The most important aspect is the TV's picture quality and the look/style in your room. This TV gets the highest marks for both. The rest is icing on the cake in my opinion. Do your research and if you pick this TV, you won't be disappointed.UPDATE: LG just released a software update that added CinemaNow movie streaming and MLB.com baseball widgets! Also, there is a new widget that says "Coming Soon". So, I am excited that LG is in fact adding to the software on this TV and not just adding to the new models! Still would like to see Pandora and Amazon video in a future release.

We got this tv when we moved out of state for a new job, which happened to be away from our families. I have to say this has to be the best HDTV we have ever owned. We have 3 HDTVs in our home now, but the picture quality and user interface on this LG is far superior to my Toshiba and Samsung. I hooked up our new Moxi DVR and have never looked back. The LG widgets are great for some quick information, and you can personalize them according to the user. In fact, you can have multiple users personalize their own widgets. I also really like the integrated Netflix, Vudu, Twitter and other apps on this LG. We have saved so much money from not going to movies and just waiting for them to be on Netflix or Vudu. Soon we will be hooking up the integrated Skype app & camera to see our families who live in other states. It really surprised me when I opened the box and it contained 2 remote controls, the sleek black Wii remote type one and a regular one. Also that it came with an LG wireless internet usb dongle so I didn't have to hook up my Ethernet to it. I hooked up the Ethernet anyway since we wired our house for that, but the dongle works great too! As far as glare goes, we have had no problems whatsoever. We have lots of big windows and have never had glare issues. Another thing I noticed is that it turns off and on so quick. Some people might think that's a weird comment, but after you get your Samsung jingle every time you power on or off, it get's annoying. It seems as if the Samsung has to wait for the jingle to happen to power on or off. One additional thing, when you are in a an app, if you happen to leave the screen for a while without any movement, the tv automatically shrinks the picture size and uses it as a screensaver moving around your screen. Remember the old Windows logo screensaver that would bounce around the screen and never quite line up exactly in the corner? Well it is like that, but a full screenshot in HD. All in all, this LG is a GREAT tv, with a great picture and great apps. Who could ask for anything more!
