Review: LG's 50PC55 50 Inch Plasma

Looking for an alternative to Panasonic or Sony's offerings? then LG may be the one to go for!

clipped from www.hdtvorg.co.uk LG 50PC55 Review LG have realised that style sells and have employed an Italian design studio to improve on the rather clunky look of LG's of the past. With its piano black minimalist look complemented by a stand in the same style, the 50PC55 looks like it could actually claw back sales that were lost as a result of previous models rather 'clunky' style. The finishing slim silver strip which separates the screen frame from the full length horizontal speaker at the units base completes a rather chic piece of kit that won't look out of place even in the most fashion conscious of households. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the LG 50PC55's performance considering its budget status is its black level ability. It can't match the benchmark 'Kuro' screens from Pioneer, but nevertheless puts in a wholly convincing performance that is the equal of most LCD TV's. Darker scenes look genuinely black, and only reveal a certain amount of greyness on closer inspection.
