#1 in Plasma LG TVs
Released January, 2011
Rated 20% by by Stephanie (Feb, 2012)well the TV picture is awesome but if you want to stream video from netflix apparently there is no way to get the widescreen movies to view full screen therefore you have black bars on top and bottom.

Rated 100% by by T.-Emilia (Jan, 2012)I like the features and functions of this LG TV better than the Sony, so we use this now to watch Netflix, Vudu, Amazon Prime etc..

Infinia PZ950 by c|net (Aug, 2011)We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 50-inch LG 50PZ950, but this review also applies to the other screen size in the series.
thickness
Infinia PZ950 by chris-dorman (Mar, 2012)I had a LG 60inch from 2005 which was a great set but this new Z-950 is a huge improvement geat deatail depth also with one piece glass front is so beutifull.
Infinia PZ950 by WLW (Jun, 2011)I believe it is better than the movie theater because of the better depth-of-field present throughout the entire movie.
Performance Real world tests of LG Infinia PZ950
power consumption
Infinia PZ950 by c|net (Aug, 2011)Power consumption: We did not test the power consumption of the 60-inch LG 60PZ950 but we did test the 50-inch model.
Infinia PZ950 by xJosex (Dec, 2011)I moved from a 47" vizio lcd to this one, and as soon as i started playing i could notice a lag between the action performed in the controller and what is displayed on the TV.
black levels
Infinia PZ950 by j (Feb, 2012)The black levels are definitely not as "black", but the gray scale makes movies like Pandorum much easier to watch.
Infinia PZ950 by Casey (Feb, 2012)I'm not saying those professional reviews are wrong but what I am saying is that if you're an average person who just enjoys watching a nice TV you're not going to notice any issues at all with black levels.
contrast ratio
Infinia PZ950 by WLW (Jun, 2011)I had to seriously adjust both the picture quality and sound for both of our Samsungs, and this baby is perfect.
Infinia PZ950 by J.-Davis (Aug, 2011)The LG 60PZ950 display is crisp with deep blacks and eye popping color and contrast.

Panel
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 100% by by V.-Cherubino (Jul, 2011)I recommend active 3D like this set uses over passive 3D, as the image in active glasses is much more detailed.
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 60% by by Julio-Miami (Jun, 2011)The nice thing about this Samsung is that it had a promotion that included 2 3D glasses and 3 3D Movies + 2 to redeem on the mail, but this TV price was couple of hundred more that the LG.
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 60% by by Julio-Miami (Jun, 2011)I wanted to test the 3D, but we must purchase the 3D glasses and probably also a blue-ray with 3D capabilities.
3d
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 60% by by jitesh (Feb, 2012)Regarding 3D, my suggestion would to get CINEMA 3D TV with passive glasses, rather than plasma 3D TV with active glasses.
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 100% by by V.-Cherubino (Jul, 2011)With the Free Blu-ray player and 2 Free glasses deal, this tv is an excellent value with great bang for the buck for the price.
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 100% by by Paradox (Apr, 2012)I had the opportunity to see Transformers:Dark of the Moon 3D on both an active & passive TV, and the passive was nice, but the picture wasn't vibrant at all, very dull.
Picture quality
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 100% by by D.-Lees (Apr, 2011)ok, now our impressions based on 4 days of loving this tv...PICTURE: the picture quality is wonderful.
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 100% by by Jason (May, 2011)This one has better color accuracy, better blacks, very similar picture quality, but a noticeably dimmer picture.
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 80% by by John-Nazareno--Hi (Dec, 2011)Colours are rich, motion is smooth and accurate and images are razor sharp.
Content
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 100% by by Robert-Green (Dec, 2011)My boys play PS3 a lot and the gaming picture was stunning.
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 100% by by bill (Jan, 2012)No problem with setting up internet features but I prefer using my desktop for internet as I haven't so far been interested in streaming movies and I prefer going to Blockbuster store for my bluray and dvd movies.
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 100% by by David-D.-Middleton-Jr.--ddeemiddYou can download movies and torrents online or digital copies of blu-rays and DVDs and place them into folders that you may upload onto the PLEX Media Server (available online via the instructions on the LG Medialink).
Type
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 76% by by c|net (Aug, 2011)Unlike LG's 2011 LCDs, its plasma TVs use active-shutter 3D glasses, zero pairs of which come with the TV.
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 100% by by WLW (Jun, 2011)After researching 3D and the suggested need for a high refresh rate, I narrowed my research to plasma.
LG Infinia PZ950 60" | Rated 76% by by c|net (Aug, 2011)Performance With its light black levels, the PZ950 series is the only plasma TV we've tested this year that didn't score an 8 or higher in this category.
