Great TV But Not Perfect,
I think that the LG PK750 is a wonderful television. It comes with great features such as Netflix and Vudu video streaming. This is one of the best looking televisions on the market. The glass on the TV covers the whole front including the edge frame. Looks somewhat like a MacBook Pro screen. Picture quality is about average for a plasma television. Black levels are good, but there is still room for improvement. I wish that LG could have worked more on eliminating screen glare. I also wish that the screen was a little brighter. If the screen was brighter then it would have helped with downgrading screen glare. In addition, the press release from LG released in January 2010 states that this television will come with the TruBlack filter, however, the specs on the website do not list this feature. After having numerous top of the line televisions, I like this LG television because of its unique look.
Amazon’s service was once again wonderful. Thank you Amazon for great customer service.
4.18.2010 – The television has developed a somewhat loud intermittent buzzing sound that can sometimes be very annoying. I have lowered my rating for the product.

|Awesome Picture!,
If I purchased this TV based on the current information available, both on Amazon and LG’s website, I might give this TV a better review. That being said, I am extremely disappointed that I researched and reviewed and came to the conclusion that this TV was the best purchase for me based on advertised features. Those features that were advertised, but not really available were the TruBlack filter as well as Skype availability and being ‘wireless internet ready’. When I contacted LG about the false information available, all they told me was ‘sorry’. Both Amazon and LG’s websites have been updated to include only the correct information.
Besides those facts, I must say that I am pleasantly surprised at the picture quality. I am now into approximately hour 120 or so and the quality is very impressive. I spent time with the picture ‘display’ menu to tweak the picture and I LOVE it.
The menu is very easy to use. Set up was simple. The TV looks very impressive. We do not have it wall mounted. It is so sleek and slim that it takes up much less room on my stand than our previous TV. Haven’t used the internet connection yet, because I’m waiting on the required LG only wi-fi dongle. (big disappointment there)
Wished I could give it rave reviews. I wanted to love this TV. I spent lots of time researching, pouring over reviews, specs, etc. only to find that this isn’t the TV I thought I was getting.
Bottom line, GREAT price for a good picture, very large screen, and lots of features.
Update….
Received the LG wi-fi dongle. Not very easy to set that thing up. I couldn’t get it to connect to my network that was security enabled. I was able to enter the network key, but it wouldn’t connect unless I disabled the security.
After disabling the security temporarily to utilize the NetCast features, we loved them!
VUDU movies were unbelievable!!! We watched several HD movies through VUDU instantly. The picture and sound was UNBELIEVABLE. No waiting. Movies played with no ‘stopping’ to catch up. Picture was PERFECT.
My only complaint about Netflix was the fact that you couldn’t browse the Netflix available movies. The only thing available (unlike when you use Wii or Playstation to view Netflix) is your Now Playing Queue.
NetCast was easy to use and our favorite was VUDU. LOVE that feature.
Disappointed about the lack of Pandora. Disappointed about the difficulty in setting up the wireless dongle.
Still overall pleased with this purchase!!!
Update (2/16/11)….
Now that I’m connected to the internet via the WiFi Dongle, I have updated the streaming features and love the connection.
I can connect to Netflix (great new interface), VuDu, CinemaNow, YouTube, and Yahoo widgets.
Had a Super Bowl XLV party and guests loved the picture quality and wanted specifics about the brand/model of TV.
Very pleased with the purchase!

|Samsung C6400/C6300 vs Samsung C6900/C6800 vs Bravia EX710/EX711,
I spent weeks researching and testing various LCD/LED flat screens. In the end I purchased the Samsung 55 inch C6400. The C6400 model is the same screen as the C6300 model except the C6400 has Samsung’s built-in internet apps whereas the C6300 does not. In the process, I purchased two Samsungs (C6400 and C6900) and one Sony Bravia (EX711). Here is what I learned:
* All of the review websites “calibrate” their screens before performing a review. During calibration the screen’s default settings are changed to supposedly make them more accurate. Nifty features that are built into the screen like “Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio” are frequently disabled during calibration because they can affect the accuracy of the image. In my opinion, if a nifty feature in your television can make it appear brighter or more colorful, go for it. Color accuracy is overrated. What matters is whether *you* like the picture or not.
* Edge-lit screens like the Samsungs and Bravia I reviewed are thinner, lighter, and more eco-friendly than the full-array screens. In theory full-array screens give better contrast ratios, and require less picture manipulation to achieve said contrast ratios. To my untrained eyes, it’s hard to see a difference.
* Dynamic edge-lit on the C6900 sounds like a good idea, but in my testing it created some weird affects that my wife, in particular, didn’t care for where some parts of a dark image were pitch black and other parts of the same dark image were a brighter black, giving the appearance that someone turned on a spotlight down part of the screen.
* The blacks were darker on the C6400 than the C6900. Go figure.
* Edge-lit screens tend to hide the speakers on the back of the set. This produces a “reflected” sound that is decent, but not the best. We planned to purchase a theater system with our television so this didn’t really matter to us.
* The Samsungs and Bravia screens came with a swivel stand. This was important for our living room set up.
* None of the Samsungs supported HDMI Auto Return Channel. Without ARC I have to power on the screen *and* the theater system to watch video from external devices like a blue ray player or game console. Not a big deal but it occasionally frustrates. The Bravia fully supported HDMI Audio Return Channel.
* When using motion blur reduction, the Samsungs have A/V sync issues in combination with our theater system. I have addressed this by increasing the audio delay in our theater system. It’s not exactly perfect but it gets lip sync close enough that no one (except myself of course) ever notices it.
* All of the Samsung screens exhibited corner lighting and flashlighting to some degree. Each Samsung screen was slightly different. To see this, put the screen in Movie mode and view a uniform dark image in a pitch black room. You should see that the screen is slightly brighter in the corners and certain areas of the screen are also brighter (flashlighting). At first this really bothered me, but then I got used to it. There’s simply no way you’re going to notice this where it matters most: where the movie picture is playing. You’ll only ever see it in a darkened room between scenes and around the edges where the movie isn’t playing.
* Amazingly the Bravia didn’t have *any* corner lighting or flashlighting. I don’t know how Sony pulled that off, but I was impressed. Samsung should license Sony’s edge lighting technology.
* The Samsungs all have a reflective screen which produces a really sharp and bright image that seems to pop off the screen. The Bravia uses a matte screen. I was baffled to observe that the Samsungs all handled reflections much better than the Bravia. There is a window directly behind our viewing sofa. With the Samsungs you were hard pressed to even see a reflection at all during daytime viewing. With the Bravia, the television was almost unwatchable during daylight hours. Reflections caused a blooming halo affect that was really dramatic. Score one for Samsung’s “Ultra Clear Panel” technology.
* All the Samsungs handled SD content really well. SD content on the Bravia looked bad in comparison.
* The Bravia screen frequently exhibited really noisy colors, particularly with skin tones. This was much less of an issue with 1080p content, but was really annoying at times. The Samsungs never had this problem.
* The Samsungs use a remote control that is relatively simple and is backlit. My wife and kids had no issues picking it up and using it right away. The Bravia remote control was significantly more complicated and was not backlit.
* All the Samsungs employ mediocre motion blur reduction. Motion blur reduction helps minimize the stuttering affect during movement – especially panning shots. The problem is that…
