#LG 50PB6600 Review (50PB6650); 50 inch Smart TV

This came up as the deal of a lifetime while I was browsing for TVs. $599 with free shipping is an absolute steal for a gorgeous 60" plasma panel. If this goes on sale again, I will buy another one. The picture initially did not look very good from factory, but this was easily rectified once I calibrated it and set it on Expert mode. What I ended up with was a clear, sharp and vivid picture, and I tested it with some pixel perfect 1080p Anime rips, and the colors were so alive I just wanted to pause the scene and leave it on just to stare at how pretty the picture was.

Turned off all of the energy saving features, the auto-dim finally went away and I was able to enjoy a solid picture. Contrast is beyond satisfactory when compared to my ever-fading LG LK520 42" from 4 years ago. I also have a light-controlled room and don't usually watch movies/tv in a well-lit environment so I never had any issues with glare, I should warn you that the TV screen is on the glossy side.

Smart TV features, to be honest, I don't use any of that junk. I use Plex as my main media source, and I have a Roku plugged into an HDMI RCA extractor, and that's split between the TV and a 2.1 analog sound system. This as a whole creates a very affordable, yet entertaining setup for me.

Lastly, I should also add that this TV is burglar proof.. because it weighs quite a bit, I'm a 6' 185 lb dude, and I had a pretty hardtime lifting and setting this thing up, all by myself.

I am happy to have jumped on this LG Electronics 50PB6650 50-Inch 1080p 600Hz PLASMA TV (Black), despite the fact that it had 2 terrible ratings when I stumbled on it. But I hope my review, alongside others will help you make the right choice. Honestly, I will buy this TV over and over again for that price.
