THX 3D Plasma TV.
The most rewarding?

THX a class apart from the standard model of surround sound in cinema. (Which comes with an epic battle of the stars), it can not be known in terms of a variable reference in the audio-visual products. Ago, it has the THX standard items that are not small. Most home theater products. The audio section. Speakers and costly. For the index screen. The past will have less I have not yet been revealed to be the most widely known. Three-dimensional current system into the THX cinema began to involve more and more three-dimensional imaging system, as was done with the pioneer surround sound system, and gradually phase into a home theater system. It comes as standard on some models of TV today. Even today there are still few. But television is standard. It is expected that the potential tends to stand out from the general standard means that it should help make life better for you and me? Or what? Need to prove …

50PZ950 3D Plasma TV 50-inch desktop model this year, LG was the first point of the ordinary but not out of “THX 3D Display” would have to prove it. Standard models come with a top-level positions. To impress upon our hands, you can use it much …

LG still committed to the concept that the Borderless Design a glass screen cover and all. The total area used to be the go as well. This technique allows for the smooth surface is always the same plane. Compared to traditional TV, it was found that the Borderless Design No Bevel depth of the frame. It seems that there is no edge (frame), precise, this technique was applied to the LG TV for a while, then it is a LCD / LED TV or Plasma TV, especially for larger models such as this one 50PZ950.


Note: The advantage of glass is not only aesthetic results with a durable, making it a better shield the panel from shock level. (A side benefit, this would provide definitive results on the LCD / LED TV on the original surface on top of the panel, a soft and Plasma TV, the bed sheets are included as part of the screen from the beginning), he is known as a Protective Skin Glass. The glass used in the decoration is necessary to take into account the thickness of the glass itself. To the distance between the panels. To avoid the problem of light reflection (internal) noise or distortion (when I look around at some point of view is similar to looking through the lens) will affect the width of the viewing perspective.

When the image may be seen in the “black” in a way that it is the same as a conventional TV. (Which originally covered the area in which there is) but because the glass surface is flat on the same plane. It does not show the (Border) from the “frame” the clear.


Note: In addition to the LG and other manufacturers have introduced the concept of “borderless” (frame) by the words of a planar surface of this glass. To their own TVs are sporadic, not sure what’s involved in the deep or not. Or just copy it back and forth. But the finer structure observed in the glass this way. Lapa is a little different.

Control (which is not the key. It is not embossed) on the bottom right corner.


Of course, I also have a touch. It is always a smooth surface like glass. This button will not light up. However, with symbols and letters printed in white against a black background makes it hard not to be seen. But if you actually use in the dark would have to wait a little. (In fact, I find the touch TV glow. Nowadays it is rare that the same), but this is not a problem in the use of the. I pressed the remote command. (The glow) is a simple solution.

The back cover is metal. Is strong. Adequate ventilation. Which is normal for a plasma.


Other amenities include cable Component of a standard format. (Do not use an adapter cable) LAN Input, which is not only very important for me Smart TV connector cable, this model is a standard IEC power cord is plugged into a comfortable society. However, the hanging wall. May need to check the distance just as the bending of the cable to jam it out.

Side with HDMI In the other two channels (HDMI In 3 for ARC) and USB 2 channels, which allow them to plug into a USB Wi-Fi Dongle and the other channel is connected to the USB Storage Devices (or it charger glasses 3D Active. Shutter Glasses 2 glasses at the same time) with a standard RCA AV Input, which is unlike some models that reduce to a 3.5mm (through a single channel video and stereo audio) in order to save.


Note: Although it is standard Composite video connection provides good quality and pleasant. It also has been used quite extensively. It is a basic form (Basic) for the AV connector of this nature. (With TV) tend to be less important. From the replacement of the standard picture format is better than some of Composite was reduced to just a 3.5mm mini jack adapter cable, which must rely on the manufacturers to come. (One advantage of reducing the channel is not important. To save space on the back. Or the side of the TV. Due date is less space to install the connector so that some of the screen size every day).

The standard base is not very noticeable, but combined with the solid material of the metal. And transparency of the acrylic. With a sleek black glass.

Standard remote control. Well familiar with the Back-light illumination for use in the dark.

It’s cool “Magic Motion Remote Control”


The innovative control command with a “swing” This is not a new. It is used with a console game before. (And there are some sporadic access to the computer), which many fans are familiar with the TV but I will always have to apply the technology to LG official. This facilitates fast and responsive controls that are more complex so as to develop into a Smart TV with more than one would expect from the TV earlier, however, important to have a relevant relationship. the interface design is conducive to use with Magic Remote.

But at some point the remote control may feel inadequate in several respects. For example, move the cursor to select menu. Now been eased. Although not as common as total replacement remote. It still needs to be shared. It enhances the capabilities of each other (like my computer. With the use of a mouse. With keyboard) gives an overview of access control. More rapidly.


Note: To control the TV. Or sound equipment – home theater system in order to fully control the Smart Phone 50PZ950 (including other versions of the Smart TV LG) also support this point as well. The increased capacity of the Smart Phone Smart TV has direct control over the remote control standard. For example. Enter the text input area (when using social network apps, or web browser), however, with the addition of a device. (Not supplied) and the price is relatively high. Focus on key controls still need a basic remote control and the Magic Motion Remote Control is also one of the interesting developments. It is hoped that in future may be in the form of control such as a TV out of my body motion. I was so damned fun.

Known three-dimensional television. The lack of equipment “specs” to do a major part in creating three-dimensional image, and in this version of the LG to the second pair will not be lonely!





LG TV’s that support the three-dimensional 3D Plasma TV this year, using 3D Active Shutter Glasses 3D LED TV, which is different from the manufacturer that this Which is a 3D Polarized Glasses.


So when is the Active Shutter Glasses before use must be charged with battery backup in the first. Via a Mini USB connector on the back (with the USB cable supplied with all).

In the Picture menu to adjust image resolution, which supports flexible. As with the video mode, the question is finished, there are plenty of different modes are different. (Significantly), how? If it was not very or not?


From the top to see the highlights of the 50PZ950 it is THX Picture Mode (and also includes ISF Expert Mode is not shown in the figure as well) … the details of each mode. (The major), I will mention again later in the report of this test it.

Effect on the sound system is just like any other TV is ready for multiple audio formats. Offset by an EQ or emphasize certain frequency ranges. That may be outstanding for the option to source the additional options that focus sound in particular. (This is the area of speech), and Clear Voice II, or to adjust the Treble Tone Control – Bass, I was. A virtual surround sound (Virtual Surround), the LG called Infinite 3D Surround it was flexible.

It is normal to the TV these days is setting on the ARC (Audio Return Channel) which is connected to the sound of the TV to the AVR via HDMI cable, just the same as that used to connect the video signal from the AVR to the TV, me. How to use it to turn the TV to the ARC Mode HDMI CEC + ARC, the AVR is connected to the Input / Output to match.


Note: ARC is ready 50PZ950 HDMI Input HDMI In 3.



Of course, when a plasma TV features associated with the maintenance of the ISM (Image Sticking Minimization) is an indispensable counterpart.


Features to prevent and resolve symptoms. Burn-in stage. Also known as. This is a temporary holding page is divided into three types: Orbiter – a protective feature. The system will scroll the screen one by one bit. In order to position the image on the screen to change. Do not hold the same position for too long. Is suitable for watching cable TV. The logo in the same position as Iuoe. However, to see the extent of the logo. With the shifting position. The system will move only slightly. (In order not to disturb the view.)


In the case where the image is temporarily broken down. Can be solved by the features White Wash Colour Wash, and even to prevent the image stuck at a level that may develop into a Burn-in permanent symptoms should avoid open source program that is still a long time. If there is no need to use It should be taken such as using a video monitor.


Note: The.
– When there is no change in signal. (Slide show) during the period of the 50PZ950 will reduce exposure (Cell light) automatically. (Value set at the factory), which gives good results for two reasons: First, extend and reduce the severity of the Burn-in Second to save energy. So, if you hold still for a while and found that the dim light did not panic. When the video signal. It returns to its original state.
– If you leave the Plasma TV and the image stuck in a permanent feature, which can not be solved. The probability of this event is not easy. If used correctly.

 

The main features of the Smart TV is access to online content and apps that are gradually updated to continue to share content with your computer via a home network.

USB Wireless Adapter, or perhaps a USB Wi-Fi Dongle is a device that is based in the PZ950 and the device itself. That allows this TV to connect to a home network. To access online content via the Internet in a “wireless”, which is highly flexible. No need to drag the line to be busy again.

Part of NetCast online media content with plenty of variety. Some of the benefits for users of LG only.


Communicating with the social network 
facebook and twitter apps.
Check the path and the traffic status.

The current weather conditions in advance or retrospectively by AccuWeather.

Share photos via Picasa.

If this does not satisfy. App to download applications for the LG Apps (with the addition of new apps added to it).

Of course, it is not how the game goes. For example, in the Yoohoo & Friends: Agent Sudogu Puzzle games, plus a number of training the brain to prevent Alzheimer’s disease it.

Yoohoo & Friends: Spot The not match the girls. I play all ages can play with Magic Remote Control it, and it was very suitable for this activity.



In addition to online content. Another important feature of the Smart TV Smart Share or sharing media files on your computer. Or other multimedia devices via a network or via USB.

Network sharing will be necessary to reset the computer. (Or any other device) to allow open access to data through the network 50PZ950. When set to this point already. Smart Share is accessible via the Main Menu.

Supported Music Formats MP3 
(Sampling Rate up to 48kHz).

Supported image formats, jpeg (2D), mpo (3D).
Slide Show with 3D models.

Supported video formats mpg, mpeg, dat, ts, trp, tp, vod, mp4, mov, mkv, divx, avi, mp4, asf, wmv, flv to adjust compensation as well. (As with audio and subtitle options with some software that supports the format) that the function of 3D to watch the clip, whether real or convert 2D to 3D 3D.



Picture Modes 50PZ950 has a lot to choose from. Which is enough to understand the efforts to cover it with a more flexible use of the user. But perhaps not too many can be confusing. I chose not to.

The differences of the different modes should be considered is the status of the brightness levels to suit different operating conditions.



It is important for the 50PZ950. Cell Light is not adjustable, but it’s not a problem. (See next section), the mode related to the brightness level to affect the rate of electrical energy directly. So when the video mode. (Which provide different levels of brightness), power consumption will vary. The brightness of the TV. In addition to the performance and energy efficiency. Also the issue of the eyes. Reduce fatigue while watching another.


The Vivid mode, in which the habit. (With a TV monitor in the market over the next mode is sometimes referred to as Dynamic) is suitable for use in lighting it. It is a mode that is assigned to monitor the brightness maximum (Maximum Luminance) and highlight the bold color. For this reason, manufacturers are used to show the department. Of course, the power consumption will be higher by default. However, in the case of the 50PZ950 Vivid mode with the highest consumption rate, as expected. It is not the mode in which the highest brightness level. (Some will break tradition) and even a mode that allows the second highest brightness level is compared in terms. Efficiency of energy use (Efficiency) will display the results were not interesting. This mode provides maximum brightness to the Standard, while the energy level was lower than with Vivid, so if the goal is to use it in the light response in the Standard would have been better.


Note: In Standard mode capabilities of the 50PZ950 bright enough for use in homes around the Hab to a controlled area where some light is not lit very disturbing.

* Pre-cal Colour Temperature

Conclusion that lightness is not good or bad. The issue of color accuracy. It is important to be taken into consideration. In a preliminary investigation. (Reference value set from the factory), found that the standard color temperature of the Standard is better than Vivid reinforcing why that should be used on Standard (in case you want it light), however, if the work is dedicated to highest accuracy. (Original emphasis is on the colors of the original source. Of color temperature, and RGB Balance, CMS, etc.) mode at this point better than the Standard and Photo, THX Bright Room and ISF Expert … by the brightness level of these three modes, although not the brightest. other (around 7.5% lower than the Standard, 12% and 16.5% respectively), but it was enough for watching movies. Or to any other events that focus on accuracy. And meticulous work in the right environment. (Based on ambient light conditions are adequately controlled), and with this precision. It is compatible with all other programs. It is not necessary to determine these modes to the movie. This mode is for a TV or computer games, etc. If you live on the basis that mess. Source of those “standard”!


Note: The.
– The word “standard” is based on the industry to produce films, and videos. Which is not standard on the fly, or it can be determined by the Video Output Standard for the source program is divided into two major forms of Video and Computer is the standard used to show differences in detail. (But on the same basis), thus providing a different mode for use with the standard source is a good reason. It is based on the selection of appropriate use.
– Mode * Standard * (and Vivid) Color Temp can be compensated even if the ISF mode is fine, but it gives a more accurate color temperature. (To use it in the light).
– * THX Cinema *, although not outstanding accuracy of colors. (Compared to THX Bright Room, Photo and ISF Expert) mode, it is ready for a cinematic viewing conditions (ie, the light control room is quite dark) of the Cell Light, which is quite low.
– * THX Bright Room * RGB Balance is the mode with the most accurate. However, the color temperature to be slightly lower than the Photo (but close to the ISF Expert1), and in this mode can not be modified to compensate for increased accuracy, but the ready mode. The results above standard levels.
– * Photo * is a ready mode from the most interesting. If that does not require any additional configuration (even for the best results. May need to check the level. Contrast / Brightness / Colour a bit).
– * ISF Expert * Although the results of the default factory settings are not the most accurate. This mode is fully customizable, but thoroughly. This section should be used. For those who need care. In the White Balance section of the calibration process for both the fundamental (2-Point Method) with a Pro (20-Point Method), which provides high resolution.
– The menu features a stirring image of the 50PZ950 measurements to reference the image information in a way. The menu layout is relatively large. And eating area in the center of the walled city. It will affect the tuning range, low light, however, the issue is not a big problem. Just takes time. And a little patience. And does not affect the potential for use in any way.


* Reference image mode with LG 50PZ950.

Results from the Dynamic Contrast, which adjusts the parameters of the two levels: High to Low.



The concept of Dynamic Contrast feature is an attempt to increase the contrast. The contrast with the light and dark areas of an image. By making the overall image look brighter. While the black levels. (During low light) and dark periods and / or a fine up to a certain range. However, if under the direct This feature is not used directly to enhance the contrast does not increase the level of theory. (As a reference standard for the highest level of brightness, contrast, brightness to the lowest level), yet the overall picture may look brighter. This technique increases the brightness level in the second step and was for this reason, it will diminish. Or misleading in terms of accuracy. (Attenuation of the Original) by repeating the image properly.

Return to enhance the brightness. The video mode with the brightness level of usage is important. In relation to the level of energy consumption and power saving mode by default (Energy Saving) is an option that determines the level of energy directly. The TV is currently configured to support both manual and auto-50PZ950, the user can set the TV’s power consumption down to 3 levels, which must rely on the experience so that the brightness level. Relationship with the environment. But another way is easier than the Intelligent Sensor system measures the light environment. According to the brightness (the Cell light) by helping to guide the user. To manage the power consumption of the TV properly.


However, state power in all that. The weight of the 50PZ950 Intelligent Sensor is a bit light. If you want to watch in this format (the fire) may be determined by the Energy Saving Manual mode instead of the Fast Maximum configuration of automation. The reduction of the Cell Light as a constant fraction of the speed is quite satisfactory.


Also in the news, Internet Radio, etc. I do not want to see. You can turn off the monitor only temporarily by the Screen Off (functions of the TV will still function normally), it saves energy has enormous (more than 90%) due to the power of TV, mostly used for display. It also helps preserve the screen with the most suitable technology, Plasma TV.

When using the Energy Saving displays information that can save energy possible. How much per cent. Test results showed that lowering the power consumption. That is not quite accurate to look good for overclocking. The estimate is lower than the reality.


Note:
– Apart from the issue of saving energy. Determining the appropriate level of brightness of the screen to help your eyes as well.
– Even if the 50PZ950 will not be able to adjust the Cell Light Specials. (The parameters used in the static environment can be controlled), however, may rely on Energy Saving in the broad representation at this point, which increases flexibility.

Plasma TV Backlight Leakage, so there’s not much brighter image. Had no effect on the loss of black level with the common problems with LCD / LED TV with no or Dynamic Backlight with Local Dimming the user to adjust the Backlight LED / LCD TV is not suitable for use. The advantages of Plasma in the panel itself, it is also able to show how well the black one. (The color of the panel was to take effect. To control the rate glow in the dark) as well 50PZ950 no culpable



The potential of the maximum brightness level. May need to carefully control the ambient light (Ambient light) in the phase. May not even have to light the dark path, it can be bright but not too stirred to watch. In particular, the view in 3D to enhance the brightness of the screen. (Whether as a monitor of any type).



I will comment a little on the use of LG’s Parameters Aspect Ratio As a result of the use mode, Original, it’s not quite that the results will come out Original much due to the scale-size image (with an over scan as with 16:9 mode), while the mode just Scan, the results correspond to the original image. (Not to scale the image in any way that fits with the word “Orignal” and over) will display the “original” would be suitable for other high-quality program (BD, Computer) or other programs through the shock. scale it. That may choose to use other modes as appropriate.

The test used as a monitor. The Notebook connections via HDMI.

Detailed Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels with full-screen images look smooth and very clean. Can say that respond well to this point. Potential can be used to refer to tasks that require visual accuracy. But be careful little screen burn. (From the slide is open for too long), which should normally For plasma technology anyway.

Active 3D model has a sharp, even in the relatively near, adjacent to the screen. The dimension of the Hludlai quite impressive.

In addition to convert 2D content to 3D and 3D to 2D 50PZ950 to do with that is if you want to watch 3D content in 2D (such as not wearing glasses. Or not to charge back the glasses on), the system can convert the video signal in 3D (at the time, do not put the glasses look. Be seen as a double image) back to 2D images, which can be viewed as no different from the 2D real me (real 2D version, but it looks better than me).

Is moving fast to play games. The pictures do not overlap. The stumbling block has been discontinued.

Free TV, the picture came out very soft. Scale dealer of the monitor can have some drawbacks. Depending on the Noise Reduction setting, however, the choice of watching a source of high quality unique to the HD monitor all clearly.
