| 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

 My first plasma, amazing! April 11, 2010
M. Dietert (ME, USA)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
It was finally time to upgrade from my old 32" 720p lcd and I, for the first time, began considering plasma. I found an amazing deal on this set for $610 after tax and jumped at the opportunity. So far I am very pleased.
VIDEO:
Picture quality absolutely destroys my old lcd. The colors are vibrant while watching HD content and the black levels are so much more redeemable. SD content looks noticeably more pixelated at close distances than the smaller set but that is to be expected.
AUDIO:
I haven't given the speakers much of a test as I use a 5.1 audio system but they sounded adequate for the first few minutes I heard them.
APPEARANCE:
Set will produce noticeable glare if in a well-lit room but that is to be expected. The bezels are sleek and very thin which I love, the stand is easy to assemble, swivels and works as expected. The set is super thin!
OVERALL:
While I am still in the break-in period, I am thus far impressed by this set. It was a huge, affordable upgrade for me and I can't wait to give it a run with some games and blu rays.
AWESOME April 15, 2010

Bought this tv from local competitor paid 625. Debated going for the 1080p version but couldnt justify the extra 300. The picture on this tv is awesome even on SD channels. I use this tv to play xbox 360 and I leave the orbiter on with contrast and brightness down and the picture is still amazing. Couldnt ask for a better tv.
Great value and great picture May 12, 2010

Ordered this on Monday, and it had an estimated delivery of next Monday, but it arrived in 2 days which was a very pleasant surprise. I must commend the shipping company, Pilot, on their courteousness and efficiency. 2 guys brought this tv in, unboxed it for me, and attached the stand upon my request. They asked a couple times if I needed help hooking up all my devices, but I knew what I was doing so I politely declined. Good job Pilot!
I have yet to do any in depth calibration, but as soon as I got that sucker plugged in I had my xbox connected through HDMI and set the TV on game mode. Picture was amazing right off the bat and there was zero lag on CoD MW2 which is a huge plus for me. Everything looked very crisp and smooth and with 50" I could actually see many details on the other side of the map without a problem.
Once I finished that I switched to Movie mode and put in a Blu Ray of District 9. Wow. I upgraded from a 32" 60hz LCD, and once I saw the video on this new TV my jaw dropped. I was halfway tempted to get a 1080p version of a 50" plasma, but at an extra $300-$400 it was not worth it. I set up my parents 1080p TV right next to mine and from about 8 feet away you cannot tell which is 1080 or 720. Very happy I made the decision of 720p, but any larger than 50" 1080p would be worth it.
This TV is also incredibly thin, at a inch or so around the edges then gets slightly thicker to 1.5 or 2 in the middle. It definitely looks like a $1000+ television, but at $702 this was a steal.
Very happy customer!
Love this TV!! August 4, 2010

Just got my TV yesterday and I couldn't be happier, and such a good price... My only complaint would have to be with the audio, kind of wimpy....
What a great TV June 25, 2010

I'm glad that I returned the 1080P Samsung PN-50B550 because it didn't have a feature they said it did. That was lucky for me becasue this LG 50PJ350 outshines the Samsung in beauty, picture, audio, and ease of use despite being 720P and saving me $350. This TV has a much faster tuner, better menu, better sound, and saves more on energy. Of Course, this is the first LG product I've ever owned and hope it will be reliable, too.
