The Official LG PX950 3DTV Owner's Discussion Thread - Page 3

I'm honestly not sure you'd notice very much in those games.

On a positive note:
When doing the input lag tests I restarted all of the video settings I had made when I set game mode. Yesterday I discovered (or rediscovered) that "Edge Enchancement" is enabled by default in game mode. It may had been placebo, but Halo: ODST felt a little more responsive after turned it off. I was actually enjoying my Halo: ODST experience a lot more yesterday than I was the first time around some days ago. EH off improvd input lag? Some other unknown factor improved input lag? Nothing improved and I'm just starting to adapt and get better with the analogue sticks again? I don't know yet, but I will do some objective testing again with Game Mode + Edge Enhancement off. At least there is a slim hope of a little improvement in the input lag department now

I don't know if it's firmware fixable, but I would think it's hardware related. Still can't rule it out and I'm certainly going to put a notice to LG.

I really hope to see some improvement in the tests because I was seeing DVE HD Basics by Joe Kane yesterday and I almost decided to definitely keep this set until 60" 4k OLEDs hit the market because of it. I so much liked the picture in total darkness. I have to study a good deal today but I will have a little time for some more Halo ODST gaming and I will try and further assess input lag now after EH got turned off.


It's a lovely TV stand. Actually I have been procrastinating a video review of it for quite some time now, I might take it up this weekend after all

I've tried looking in circles in Halo: ODST while switching Edge Enhancement back and fourth and it doesn't seem to make a difference. But input lag does seem less and I have decided that this TV is a keeper now. It didn't interfere with my gaming experiences today. It certainly doesn't feel worse than the majority of the other flatpanels I've tried recently. I don't know what's going on, but I might do a few input lag tests tomorrow again. Either 60 ms isn't so bad after all or it has improved somehow. To be honest I think it's a mix of the two. I think that input lag has gotten better somehow and I've become better with console gamerpad controls once again. I'm pretty happy about this turn of events anyway as I won't be looking to replace this TV for a long time now - probably until the big OLED's are mainstream, big in size and affordable, and I got the money.

The Dark Knight was fantastic to watch. I thought I spotted slight lipsync issues with audio coming slightly before video but pretty sure it has more to do with PS3 and/or receiver than the TV. I only think I see this in the lossless soundtracks though, as everytime I think I see it I switch to Children of Men (nordic release) which only has a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack and there's never any lipsync issues there. Hoping for a firmware update for PS3 and my Denon receiver, otherwise I might have to add some audio delay when watching HD audio tracks - but I hope it won't be necessary and I'll try doing nothing and watch closely during the next viewings.

Anyway impressions from the movie:
It simply looked stunning. Only one thing did bother me a little and that was that the blacks was not as deep as I wanted them to be, but this was only an issue in the screen when there the picture was almost total darkness. I'm was running THX Cinema profile which looked absolutely great otherwise, but I've realized that I might gain some on black level with a proper calibration. I'm going to try Rasmus' from Flatpanelshd settings when he reviews it soon and see how it compares. He did manage to get the PK950 down a little
But I'm still sometimes wow'ed by the picture, where I just say to say out loud how amazing it looks. Not bad after a full week plus a day. It's the picture quality paired with the size and viewing distance, no doubt.

Definately wait and go with the 60" if I were you. I have been tracking this tv for like 3 months now because the reviews on the 60PK950 on cnet were incredible! It was literally the only big screen they reviewed that could properly handle 1080p/24 without any artifacts and the px950 is all that plus 3d with 2d to 3d coversions. If you even look at the panasonic V25 on the cnet reviews, they saw artifacts in the 1080p/24, but not in the LG pk950 and that's about 2k more to spend. This is definately the TV to wait for IMO. I found a place here in the uS that has it in stock and free shipping, click on bizrate.com and type in and you'll see it

Will be posting a video reviews on amazon.co.uk one of these days, link will be posted here also



I just feel like the difference, although small, yet is too great to be in my brain only.. but then again the brain is a pretty powerful piece of hardware isn't it

All I know is that input lag acceptable to me for gaming after all. Hoping to see some other folks doing input lag tests also because I'm not sure I want to go through it all again. Now I'm satisfied after all, I'd rather just be happy with it than analyze it to pieces, if you know what I mean.



Nope they're just called HDMI 1, 2, 3 and 4. Manual makes no mention of "ARC" and "Audio Return Channel" as far as I can see. This is surprising to me since it's 3D compatible and therefore must be HDMI 1.4 - or so I would guess. I'm going to ask Rasmus from flatpanelshd to check and see if he can get it to work during his tests, otherwise I might call LG.



Sure. Here you go:

Bonus: Some DJ Hero gameplay I shot but forgot about - http://www.vimeo.com/15332698

Halo: ODST - A bit if gameplay and input lag test - http://www.vimeo.com/15333399
A bit of gameplay and input lag test by clicking the analogue stick and seeing how quickly the weapon zooms in. As you can see it's not bad at all. It's more felt than seen. And as I've said I think I've seen some improvement here since I first purchased and set up the TV set, but I have no idea why and it might all be in my head. Bottom line is that it's well good enough as it stands now and I'm a PC gamer throughout many years

Halo ODST - More gameplay (in 4 parts)
- part 1: http://www.vimeo.com/15339068
- part 2: http://www.vimeo.com/15339464
Just playing to show that you can still rock (and suck) at it, get headshots (and die miserably by falling). Still getting used to analogue sticks after many years of mouse only so I'm not at my best all the time here, but this at least show that games are fully playable, and for me enjoyable after all.
Parts 3 and 4 will be uploaded monday next week when my weekly upload quota in Vimeo gets refilled.



Don't! Really just save up some more, it's totally and 100% worth it! If your GF/Wife is holding you back, well then bribe her with something!
