LG 50PC3D Review

Editors' rating

The good: Clean, unobtrusive styling; relatively accurate color; excellent aspect-ratio controls; unique four-way picture mode browser; independent input memories.

The bad: Brightness of dark areas fluctuates; below-average picture with low-quality sources; tradeoff between softness and edge-enhancement; just one HDMI input; no picture-in-picture.

The bottom line: While it offers an appealing mix of features and a refreshingly simple design, the LG 50PC3D 50-inch plasma doesn't perform well enough to earn our strong recommendation.
