The Infinia 50PZ950 has very good image quality and an excellent array of features, but this 50-inch plasma set needs built-in Wi-Fi and a better setup guide.

Manufacturer’s Description

The 50PZ950 50-inch 1080p 3D Plasma Smart TV from LG is the perfect blend of design, price and performance in a superb TV. Full HD 1080p resolution, 5M:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and incredibly fast sync time give you pictures that make the most out of any media you are using. LG's 600Hz Sub Field Driving ensures that fast-moving content is delivered in vivid color and striking detail so nothing goes by in a blur. The mega dynamic contrast ratio creates a sense of depth, fine gradation in color and tonal values and a general feeling of "being there" once thought impossible on a two-dimensional panel. LG's 2D to 3D conversion feature adds a 3D effect to 2D television, movies, sports, video games and images, at the touch of a button.
