LG 50PS6000

Hi All,

My LG 50PS6000 plasma TV arrived today.

To be honest im not totally sure im pleased with it!?

The picture looks a bit fuzzy unless you are sitting fair way back, is this
normal?

It also doesnt seem to be able to handle `patterns` very well, i.e if you
are watching something and they have wallpaper in the background, it kinda
pixleates over it.

Im also not sure if the screen seems to flicker a bit here and there,
sometimes you can see the screen brightness fade a little, and i have the
energy saver this off.

I have tried playing with the settings and cant seem to make it much better,
just so i can try, what is a good setting for the brightness, colour and
contrast?

Seeing as the tv is supposed to have 600hz etc i did expect a much sharper
and clearer picture.

Is it me, or the TV?

Thanks

I have no experience of that TV, but what you are describing seems like
a normal Freeview picture.

A TV can't work miracles with a very limited bit rate input such as from
Freeview.

My three LCD TVs work very well with Freeview. Maybe the problem is
just with plasma.

So how far away are you viewing that 50 inch screen from, how big is the room.

Did you by any chance read the thread in uk.tech.broadcast entitled
"600 Hz technology"? You seem to have a good idea of what that actually means,
I suspect most people here do not, myself included.

Neither. It's the huge gulf between expectation and performance, which
has been brought about by the conspiracy of deception operated by
OFCOM, the broadcasters, and the set makers.

That and the fact that a big screen allows you to see how bad a
perfectly normal TV picture really is.

1.Ensure that the set has been switched on for at least twenty
minutes.

2. Set all the 'fancy' picture options to 'Off' or 'Neutral'.

3. Reduce 'Colour', 'Contrast' and 'Brightness' to zero.
This should give a blank, black screen.

4. Slowly increase 'Brightness' until their is a just perceptible
lightening of the screen.

5. Slowly increase 'Contrast' until you have an acceptable black and
white picture. Some further small adjustment of 'Brightness' may be
necessary to achieve this.

6. If you have a 'Gamma' control slowly increase 'Gamma' until you
have sufficient amount of detail in the 'blacks'.

7. Make further small adjustments of 'Brightness' and 'Contrast' to
optimize the black and white picture.

8. Increase 'Colour' to achieve realistic flesh tones.

9. Repeat until happy.

The important thing is to get a decent black and white picture and to
use a reliable(?) programme source.

Well, LGs at least some of the cheaper ones are earning a reputation with a
few friends of being crap on analogue source material but OK on digital. I'd
suspect that less money has been spent on the a to d circuitry than the
digital stuff.
Obviously, myself I have no opinion, but Plasmas I've been in the same room
as seem to pulsate to me, and I'm very sensitive to this sort of visual
disturbance even though I cannot actually 'see' images any mor.

Try connecting a Blueray DVD player and compare the results.

The Blueray DVD should give the best picture your set can display, but don't
expect any broadcast picture to be as good, especially Standard Definition
Freeview TV which, as others have commented will look awful. But at least
you will know if its the TV or you.

To anyone who might think that procedure is unnecessarily fiddly: it
isn't. It gives good results.

Indeed. Some of what the OP described sounds like a typical Freeview SD
