| With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. - Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
- Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

 Wow September 6, 2010
dman (San Antonio, Texas United States)
Wow...this TV has the best colors I ever seen. This TV beats many TV's that cost a lot more. I like this TV so much that I am thinking about getting the 60 inch version. This TV is unbelievable. I wasn't looking for value, but the best picture. I had the money for a much more expensive TV, but I bought this one because the quality was so good.
 LG Plasma 50PK550 September 2, 2010
Chef Jeff
Bought this unit two weeks ago. Was worried about all the problems people have had concerning plasmas;ie buzzing sound,image retention, bad sound and shipping problems. It was delivered the day they said it would, no buzzing sound at all, image retention is not seen at all and the sound from the the set fills my living room just fine. After reading, comparing and doing weeks of research on like TV's, this one is a great deal without taking out a second mortgage. If you can take advantage of Amazon financing you even get two years to pay it off if needed. So keep on reading and comparing, but if your ready to buy...go for it.
Excellent quality and value August 26, 2010
Richard S. Sims (Hamilton Township, NJ)
I really wanted a Samsung LCD but I haven't had a lot of extra money lately, so I have instead been looking at plasmas. I really don't care much for the LG brand, mostly based on computer component quality, but beggers can't be choosers so I decided to go for it.
I am extremely happy with this set! The picture quality is just as good as any LCD's I've seen, and it seems to be very well put together with a plenty of ports and it looks great too!
Pros: Price, Picture quality, construction, size (it's very slim with very little bezel), Auto power / light level sensor.
Cons: It's a plasma, so it does have some "ghosting" - but I've never noticed it while actually watching TV - it's mostly noticable when I'm using my computer hooked up to it (1920x1080) and leave the wallpaper on for a while, then switch to a black screen, I can see some very slight remnants of what was on the screen - but it's really not an issue and bo no means should stop you from buying...
A Truly Amazing TV August 10, 2010
L. Liu (NC, USA)
This TV is truly amazing! Vivid color, excellent depth to create a three dimensional feel. I was not too sure about getting a plasma before I ordered it. But, I am so glad I bought this one. It is simply great. My wife and I watched "The Remains of the Day" last night off our satellite programming. Both the sound (we have it hooked up to a bose home theatre system) and the visual were incredible. We kept comparing our LCD TVs to this plasma and the LCD is no match.
I highly recommend getting this TV, particularly for less than $900.

The price to the door $886 was unbeatable. Excellent picture with just minor changes for my preferences. Wife wasn't sold on the larger screen but after setup and viewing she was in awe of the lifelike and crisp picture. Every night is movie night but with football around the corner it will be an awesome fall. Would recommend this TV to anyone, but deals are the name of the game. Research for a product and then watch for the perfect time to buy. Amazon deals can't be overlooked. I rarely buy in brick and mortar shops for anything anymore.
