Owning a SONY Bravia LCD and a Panasonic Viera plasma I knew I preferred the plasma and determined on this LG 50-inch for its hard to trounce cost. I considered it a lesser TV to my larger 1080p Panasonic so didn't mind this one's 720p tenacity. After dwelling with it for a couple of weeks, I'm happy with that conclusion and I would rate the image very highly, with a couple secondary reservations.

Some state you can't tell the distinction between 720 and 1080, but I decisively can see the one-by-one pixels when I'm within a few feet of the computer display, and there is a minor distinction on little, harshly bordered images, like the ESPN computer display crawl for demonstration. If it's your custom to sit five or six feet from the TV you might desire to spend additional for a 1080; but the more distant you get from the computer display the less difference between the two. At 10-12 feet this is an excellent image, very close to my 1080 Panasonic.

The other niggle is that the computer display is highly reflective, which can be annoying in blazingly lit rooms. The picture itself is not to accuse -- it is as bright and vibrant as my SONY Bravia.

There is a handy setup list for modifying the image, image Wizard II, which will get you very close to perfect and there are plenty of changes to tinker with to get it how you like it from there.

I've read that LGs can't contend with Panasonics in black levels, but I don't observe a distinction on my sets, and other than the subtle dissimilarities cited above, the two are exceedingly similar. LG 50PA4500 50-Inch
