Manufacturer's Description

	TruMotion TruMotion can reduce blurring on fast moving scenes by displaying one hundred images per second. Standard TV sets only display fifty images per second. TruMotion carefully analyses the picture signal by using advanced algorithms to automatically calculate a new image frame between each original frame. This technology reduces the perceived response time and the picture dragging (‘smearing’) phenomenon, providing life like details even in fast moving scenes. As LG uses S-IPS panels which offer increased screen quality, TruMotion helps to improve things further,resulting in picture quality that is better than TVs based on VA panels.
	AV Mode LG TVs have 3 special preset AV Modes which provide the best suitable image quality and sound for specific types of content.They are easily accessible using the AV MODE hot key on the remote control.

	Invisible Speaker Wide Sweet Spot - The front bezel works as a speaker, replacing the normal speaker grill. With the Invisible Speaker system, the speakers are embedded in strategic spots underneath and around the front bezel. This new speaker system provides a clean and fashionable design compared with traditional side or bottom speaker designs.
	Clear Voice Sometimes when watching films it is difficult to hear human voices over the background sounds of their environment, due to the down-mixing that occurs to push 5.1 surround-sound through a TV’s 2 channel speaker system. The Clear Voice feature alters the sound balance to emphasise human voices and reducing the background noise All input source (RF/AV/Component/HDMI) as well as Stereo and Mono broadcast can be controlled by Clear Voice.
	Simplink LG’s SIMPLINK system can control all the connected AV devices with one remote control. By pressing the SIMPLINK remote control key, you can switch on and control all devices connected by HDMI. When the TV is switched off, all connected AV devices are automatically switched off as well.

Customer Reviews

Brilliant
This LG 50 inch was a brilliant buy. My ps3 looks so good on this tv.
Awesome!

Excellent TV
This TV is excellent. I just got mine delivered today. The quality is excellent and so is the audio. However i did not know this TV does support 1080p! i was well suprised! I now watch HD Movies and play my Xbox 360 at 1080p setting! Excellent or what. All i need now is my surround sound haha

Excellent Plasma TV for the price
LG 50PG3000 - 50" Widescreen HD Ready Plasma TV - With Freeview

Excellent picture quality for the price. I bought it from Dixon's a month ago and the picture quality is awesome. Standard definition TV picture is as good as the HD picture if not slightly better. Close up pictures really look nice. BBC/Channel 4 news gives a very good picture. DVD's are superb to watch which was the primary reason for buying this display but pleasantly surprised to get an awesome standard TV picture from our roof top aerial. It is only 720p but I would recommend this for the moment and my advice is - do not waste money on 1080p sets yet. Upscaled DVD picture from our Samsung Home cinema is simply outstanding over a HDMI cable. Just watched the Planet Earth DVD and the quality of the picture is truly dramatic.

Designing of the panel is very good. Looks good in the smallish room in our flat. I thought 50" could be bigger for our room but even 60" would be alright after watching this TV! We only sit 6 feet from the TV and the picture is not grainy at all apart from the old second rated DVDs for which you would have to sit a bit far from the TV. Demonstration in the showroom is not great and I expected a grainy picture from the standard TV signal but in reality the SD picture is better than DVD!

Sound could be better but manageable. I use surround sound for DVDs which is fantastic. You could use optical connection to get the TV audio from the surround sound system but did not try it yet.

I would recommend this TV for any one thinking of 50" Plasma. 720p is good enough for the moment. Cricket and football you will not get out even for a cup of tea!
