any comments on the alleged "color shift" problem of this tv?

wunder9 · « **Reply #32 on:** Nov 09, 2010 at 08:49 AM »

I read the link re color shift. Dunno what to make of it. The thread at avsforums is 128 pages long already and I don't recall any mention of color shift being an issue. Personally I can't comment coz I'm still breaking in my set & haven't had it calibrated.

Great TV... i have one and im very happy with it. but i want to know the exact power consumption for these tv. its not in the manuals eh. Also is it really adviseble to get a wattage regulator? which one is better railley or servo motor type? If i used a UPS will it help protect my tv from electricity fluctuations? thanks

I bought one of these sets tonight from SM Sfdo, paid only 59,500

.
I am impressed, looks clearer than my old SXRD and color seems warmer. I have Cignal HD and the PQ on this set is great!

@guys, how does this unit fare when it comes to ps3 / xbox gaming?
Is this unit still worth it despite being released 2008? TIA!

Ayos, anyone tried this on ps3 / xbox360? Hindi ba sya choppy sa mga fast action scenes?
Thanks again!

tenks sir wunder9 ok lng yun sir talaga naman ganyan eh hindi talaga kaya ng cam yun actual na details ng pix pro ganda nya parang ang laki talaga dahil sa slim na border frame. sir me difference ba yun 720p sa 1080p sa plasma na yan?

Side by side with the panny 42x20 ( too bad both got component inputs only at the store ), this Lg has sharper and more detailed image, but the brighter and better whites goes to the panny. We did adjust the settings to no avail to remedy the Lg's bluish less bright screen. Next time, I will request the Lg guy to use HDMI source for both tvs and see if it's still the same. Overall this Lg tv is great ( considering its low price for a 50 inch Full hd plasma ).

just sharing.................

I saw this at SM Marikina. It's a gorgeous TV.

Comparing this LG plasma with the Panny plasma on the SM showroom floor, the picture on the LG demo looked much, much better than the crap demo by Panny.

LG is very aggressive these days. Aggressive pricing, exclusive SM deal, top-notch after sales service. It's easy to see why LG is doing very well nowadays.

Panny Philippines is a lazy company. They wouldn't be selling as many plasmas if not for forums like pinoydvd.

Stagea · « **Reply #53 on:** Dec 28, 2010 at 10:22 AM »

I agree; I saw this at SM Appliance in Rockwell (Powerplant Mall). It's a very good-looking TV with an excellent image for the price. The contrast actually seemed better than the 50S10 (to my eyes).

wunder9 · « **Reply #54 on:** Dec 28, 2010 at 08:07 PM »

This LG plasma is very under-rated here. A 50inch full hd plasma for the price of a Pana 42V. Since I cant avail of expert calibration I just used the settings posted by Big Brad in AVSforums after breaking in my set. The improvement in pq is astounding. My mom keeps asking if my tv is 3D. hehehe

according to first post 1080p

Quote from: natosan on Oct 04, 2010 at 05:19 PM

Anyone owns this baby? Saw one at SM Makati around 63K lang. That's very cheap considering 50" and 1080p na sya. Very thin and slick pa yun outline ng screen nya. wasn't able to do a side by side comparison vs panasonic but the price is very enticing. difference of 20K or something against the pana. From the demo display it looked very sexy and good PQ naman.

artsky · « **Reply #58 on:** Dec 30, 2010 at 09:42 AM »

I wonder who does the calibration if ever we buy this TV..

hindi plasma ang problema sa lg plasma may color shift kaya yung mga matagal na mahilig sa home theater alam na may color shift yan yung mga bago pa lang sa home theater syempre hindi alam na may color shift pala exclusive

sir yun color shift ba sa LG plasma lang or pati sa ibang brand ng plasma may issue rin na ganito? salamat
