At amazing value for money, the LG 50PB65 50-inch plasma TV is also packed with picture processing and incredibly intense, vibrant colours. It's HD-friendly and objects move across the screen with amazing clarity. Plus, it looks great, with a polished ...

Phenomenally cheap ; bags of features ; intense colours

Standard definition pictures look noisy ; contrast range isn't the best ; image doesn't refresh as fast as we'd like

You have to take your hat off to the LG 50PB65 for being the first mainstream brand model we've seen to offer a well-specified 50-inch TV for under £1,200. But perhaps inevitably you need to be prepared to accept a few sacrifices on the performance ...

The set is also well specified, with 1080p/24fps HD support via its two HDMIs, an HD-friendly 1366x768 resolution, and a very high claimed contrast ratio of 15000:1 - one of the very highest ever seen.

Good design, decent feature list, extremely bright colours, fair price

Black levels not the best, some colour tone issues, noisy standard def pictures

Superb colours, Good motion handling

Disappointing blacks, Slight lack of picture sharpness

This 50in plasma scores high on up-front impact, but there are a couple of significant flaws that reveal themselves too

Does John's love for chocolate extend to this plasma's picture quality?

With its tiny price, reasonably glam looks and spicy features count, we really, really wanted to love this LG TV. But ultimately no amount of clever marketing, competitive pricing or aggressive picture traits can hide the fact that when it comes to ...

well-designed plasma TV with high capacity will not reach all the way up. The rating is still approved thanks to the favorable price .
