I am about to purchase a new and big Plasma television. Well, I was wondering to buy one which is having USB port embedded in it.... so that I can connect my laptop directly to it to view movies(instead of writing DVDs) ?

LG 50PG25

PICTURE QUALITY RATING: 89/100

Test and Optimum Viewing Distance - 10 feet

Up conversion from 480i and 480p - Viewing the recent 480i release of 3:10 to Yuma starring Russel Crow was a pleasere on this plasma as it displays very natural earth tones and good dark shadow detail.

720p/1080i/1080p Picture Quality - The 50PG25 is a 1024 X 768 plasma TV and therefore shows best in 1080i resolution. The HD picture during Safari scenes from our Blu Ray Dolby test disc had no problem displaying smooth
fast motion scenes in vibrant colors.

HQV Processor Testing - The LG 50PG25 performed very well during our Video Resolution Loss Testing showing no dithering in vertical or horizontal bars.

Black Level - The LG 50PG25 has average black levels but allow good dark shadow detail.

Dark Shadow Detail - Black information did not oversaturate darker scenes yielding good shadow detail in clothing and night scenes. The Gamma setting is useful in this regard and can be adjusted depending on room light conditions.

Color Rendition/Color Accuracy - Color information was somewhat more subtle and muted in HD content than expected. With 480i signals I thought this plasma performed admirably enough with regard to color. It was pretty good especially in a darker room environment.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS RATING: 91/100

VALUE RATING: 98.5/100
