Sony NSX-40GT1 40-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LED HDTV Featuring Google TV, Black

My previous TV was a three-year old Panasonic HDTV 50" plasma and so I'm able to review this TV with some experience with another set that had similar specifications. I wasn't expecting massive leaps in image quality and merely purchased this TV because of the low price it was at and the fact that I wanted the 3D experience.

I have to say however that once tweaked, this set is leaps and bounds beyond my older TV. The image is clearer and is much brighter. Of course as I said you have to tweak it to get that perfect image and by far in a way the most essential tweak is to switch off the terrible energy saving option that infects this television. The theory is this 'intelligently' dims areas of the unneeded sections of the screen to save power since plasmas draw a lot of juice. The reality, however, is everything looks dirty and dim even at 100% brightness. In fact with the energy saving setting on, the more I tweaked things, the dimmer the TV seemed to get.

I bought this TV (LG 50PZ750 plasma) for Father's Day and had it just less than a month. I LOVED it..easy to set up,remote easy to use, GREAT picture, accessed Netflix easily, yadayadayada...UNTIL one morning we turned it on, after having the power completely off, and the screen was tinted RED all over. After some time it would flicker between a normal picture and the black/red picture. I googled LG PLASMA PROBLEM and found something about LGs,Phillips, and Magnavox plasmas having this problem. Didn't need to read any more so I called AMAZON and asked to return it for a refund. I'm SOOOOO glad I bought it through Amazon...no hassel..no shipping charges..veerry easy. Their shipping company just comes to my house and picks it up.I was also just within the 30 day return limit. I'm replacing it with a Samsung Pn51D7000, a little pricier, but also a great deal on Amazon.
I STRONGLY suggest that any TV buyer do these 2 things:
1. SAVE the shipping box, you can't get a... Read more

I did a lot of research before finally deciding on the LG 60PZ750 reading reviews from other websites. The specs on the LG looked good, and it has a lot of extra features for the price. A friend mentioned they paid much more for a 60 inch w/out 3D.

Last night I watched my first sporting event in 3D, the NBA finals. I thought I would get tired of wearing the glasses, but they didn't bother me after my eyes adjusted. Basketball in 3D was amazing. A totally different perspective. I only wish they had the same announcers as the ABC broadcast?? 3D isn't for everyday use, but is great for big sporting events and movies.

The HD picture is great. I am still tinkering with the settings, but the game in "sport" mode looked great.

The TV is very thin, but heavy. Not a big deal, but you will need 2 people to mount it on a wall. I also purchased the wifi usb dongle and it worked great. I haven't watched a movie on netflix yet, so I can't comment on the... Read more
