LG's 50PM9700 is another solid contender from a company that clearly takes plasma TVs seriously. It offers very good picture quality, costs less than last year's high-end model, and comes with the same Magic Remote and Smart GUI that currently lead the p...
We really enjoyed our time with the 50PM9700 (MSRP $1,699). We always like using LG’s smart features, which are simple to use with the packaged Magic Remote. We were impressed by the excellent motion performance and screen uniformity. We even have to ...

The LG PM9700 series improves on the company's 2011 plasmas, but it's unable to compete with similarly priced TVs.
I really enjoyed my time with the 50PM9700 (MSRP $1,699). LG's smart features are a pleasure to use, thanks largely to the easy-to-use Magic Remote, and the excellent motion performance and screen uniformity were impressive, as well. The 50PM9700 even pro...
