Plasma TV Buying Guide Comments
LG isn't abandoning the 720p HD specification for 2010. The PJ350 offers many of LG's core features in a slim, 2" case with a sub 1" bezel for a modern looking, feature packed TV at what should be an affordable price. The Intelligent Sensor feature will automatically adjust the brightness to match the brightness and color temperature of the room lighting. While these automatic adjustments sensors provide marginal energy savings we have found in the past that they sacrifice a calibrated picture to do it. Most viewers will be more concerned with picture quality than a slight power savings but if you want to trim a few dollars off the monthly power bill this feature can do that for you in a room that allows the TV to run at lower brightness levels.
The PJ350 series plasmas use LG's "Skin Glass" system to both protect the panel and reduce internal reflections by reducing the distance from the outer glass to the filter by 70%. LG mentions these plasmas have a 600Hz Sub Field drive, really this is just a marketing term built around plasmas inherent resistance to motion lag. With LCD manufacturers talking about higher and higher Hz rates to reduce motion lag the plasma manufacturers had to come up with something more interesting than "plasmas don't have motion lag".
