best Plasma TVs

The TV looks incredibly clear and the Proper handling of 24p makes the image really pop and stand out.

it was well worth it to lose a little bit in screen size for a far superior picture!

Despite the fact that the Blu-ray player is not Panasonic, the "Viera link" feature of this TV is really just Panasonic's version of CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which means that it is pretty well compatible with other newer home theater accessories.

I tweaked only Brightness, Contrast, Color, and Gamma.

This means it’s got an impressively fulsome suite of picture calibration tools, including gamma settings and colour and white balance management controls.

But for the great many people who will be hooking this to a receiver and wanting to use CEC features to simplify life, LG has deliberately ruined their product.

Excellent picture quality; ease of mounting onto wall; recessed power and volume/channel controls; lots of options for connectivity; Ethernet port; channel surfing is pretty brisk; screensaver could be a lifesaver; good range with the remote (for instance, works flawlessly 20 feet away); screen seems to stay pretty cool to touch.

The onscreen input selector doesn't allow you to provide useful names for than HDMI 1, HDMI 2, VGA etc, which is unfortunate, but the image can be changed.

Its Pro section gets a two-point grayscale control and a few gamma presets, along with a bunch of less useful stuff like Black Extension and AGC, both of which should be set to zero.
