I bought this television 2 months ago and am very satisfied with the purchase. There have been no problems with the set and it has done everything it claims. After researching for months, it was down to the LG and the Samsung 63A650. While not in Pioneer’s Kuro class, the LG 60PG60 did a superb job in direct head-to-head comparison with the Samsung being only slightly stonger in black level and contrast (differences which I do not even notice at home). Back in October, the Samsung was also $1200 more than the LG, so losing just 10% of screen size was a no-brainer. (Most importantly, I found after buying, and subsequently returning, the 63″ Samsung plasma, that there was an issue with 2 light, 4″-wide pink stripes running down the screen that could be seen in shots with a lot of white, especially black-and-white films. Samsung claimed the stripes were “in spec” and not in need of repair or replacement. Despite the otherwise great picture and excellent features, I just couldn’t live with the stripes at $4G. After checking different-sized Samsung plasmas in three different local electronic stores, I saw one or two pink stripes on all but one screen! Take a look on the ASV forum and you’ll see other people have identified this problem.) The LG 60PG60 makes an excellent replacement.

In general, I agree with the CNET review on this TV: “The good: Highly accurate primary colors in THX mode; solid video processing; superb feature set with numerous picture controls; fine connectivity with four HDMI and one PC input; beautiful external design. The bad: Less accurate color decoding and grayscale in THX mode; produces lighter blacks than the best plasmas. The bottom line: Although its THX mode isn’t as accurate as we’d like to see, the massive LG 60PG60 60-inch plasma TV still delivers a good picture.”

A word on Amazon.com white glove service. I’ve used it several times this year and have had no problems with either scheduling or delivery. This service is truly a wonderful and useful bonus to an already tremendous pricing on the TV. Kudos to Amazon.com!

I was initially looking at 65″ Panasonic’s plasma but after watching this one at ABT I was knocked out by its terrific quality! The movies, I got it as a screen for movies, from LG BD300 look stunning! The movie experience just above anything I ever saw! In blu-ray it is simply almost like 3-D!

The design, the slick appearance, makes it nice part of the room. Despite its huge screen it doesn’t look heavy. The invisible speakers produce very nice sound, the ability to play music and photos from USB port is amazing.

It is the best TV screen I ever owned or watched.

As LG goes “life is good”, man I agree!

First off, delivery from CEVA was great. Ordered on a Monday and recieved on Saturday morning. Picture quality is great, on par with or exceeds my Panasonic 50″ who aside from Pioneer makes the best Plasmas on the market.

Once the tv was fully connected it took me a couple of days to settle on what color choices to make since I cant seem to get behind one of the default settings called “THX Cinema” mode. It’s supposedly the best calibrated picture but in my opinion it’s just too dark and carries a orange hue.

After using all of the latest consoles, hd-dvd, and blu-ray I’m finally sattisfied with this size panel and the overall quality.

We had been looking at many plasma and lcd flat screens and even tossed around a large screen dlp. We have a 52 inch lcd Toshiba that is in a family room and wanted a larger screen in what we call our gathering room off of the kitchen.After going around to many electronic stores we went with the LG60PG60.Being able to view the many flat screens together it was obvious. For the money and picture quality it was LG.

We also went with a Samsung surround sound system ,Sony Blue Ray and a APC H15 line conditioner and surge protector. And you have to hang it on the wall,looks fantastic !
