CNET product brief
Description: The LG 50PY3D is a 50-inch, plasma television.Compared to other plasma TVs on the market, it is midpriced at around $2,270.In general, a liquid plasma display can output more realistic black-levels than an LCD display can.
Pros: Has a USB, serial, remote control, VGA input, digital audio output (optical), digital audio output (coaxial), audio line-in, HD component input, audio line-out, S-Video input, composite video/audio input, and HDMI connections type, which is somewhat more favorable than some similarly priced TVs.Also, this TV has a 3D digital comb filter.This is more favorable than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price.(A 3D filter is one of the best types available, and is "motion adaptive," meaning it utilizes a special method for clearing up the moving parts of the picture, as opposed to the static parts.)With built-in HDTV compatibility, this television can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)The 3:2 pulldown feature of this unit reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.
Cons: None noted, given available product data.
Suitability: Made for those who are looking for a stylish, compact TV.
Value: In general, this TV's features are in line with its price.
