Thread Starter 
hello all ive got a question.im thinking of getting the lg60pv250 at rent a center and i went and its got a great picture but the only thing is i went home and looked up info on the thing and all i can find is that the tv is sold in Australia.it is not even listed on lg's usa website.i did find however the lg60pv450 anyone know if its the same tv with a different model number. i know sometimes they will sell tvs that are the same with different model numbers in different regions.or if maybe anyone has the lg 60pv250 what the quality of the set and how much do you like it thank you.

hi jetblack9090 me and my husband bought the same model number as you and we are wondering if you are having problems with the volume control on yours.

I have recently bought one too and cant find any details on the net...till now....it is actually a PV450....If you look on the back of the tv and find the FCC ID you will find that it is indeed a USA PV450 model...dont know how these models got here but all USA FCC goes buy is the FCC ID #...hope this helps guys

@starfirer...i havnt had any problems with the volume on mine...make sure you turn auto volume off...and have the clear voice turned to +6....the down side to having a thin panel plasma is that it is hard to put quality speakers in a thin panel tv...

In the main thread refered to above, there is mention of the tuner difference between the PV250 and PV450(PAL/DVB-T vs NTSC/ATSC). Has anyone here observed this difference when trying to use the PV250 in the US? I assume this is only an issue for OTA broadcasts and HDMI output from US devices should still be okay.

Thanks.

Hi,
As mentioned above has any one who bought this television please confirm if this model is the European version supporting PAL and DVB-T? What does the user manual or specification say? I am planning on buying one because I am looking for something that plays in both the US and India. Any help from the purchasers is highly appreciated.

If bought in the US it will come with an ATSC tuner and not DVB-T. Essentially if bought in the US it is identical to the **PV450 models.

I've had this TV for two months and am wondering if anybody else notices something odd...I have a comcast issued HD DVR Set-top (DCT model) connected to this TV via HDMI...when on the 720P resolution setting during motions scenes on HD content occasionally you get a horizontal "slice"/glitch such that the picture above and below the "slice" doesn't line up properly...when you rewind it back it won't be there...sort of random...it does not do this at all on 1080i mode and it doesn't do it when connected to my HTPC at 1080p 60 or 24p...kind of annoying as my previous Vizio plasma didn't do this with the very same box...it must be the LG. The workaround is of course to use 1080i output on the comcast box but the picture isn't as nice. Any other experiences similar to bring to light for LG?

Just bought this set from Dell, which had little detail. Is there a downloadable manual? Is there a working USB port and/or Ethernet? Is there an audio return channel for HTS set up. It appears to be a quality plasma for viewing, but lacks the bells and whistles, e.g. Internet apps, play mke files via USB . . .

For those that ordered this plasma from Dell, how long did it take Dell to ship it from time of order?

I orderd mine on Sunday and it shipped today. Estemated arrival is on the 28th, Not bad for free shipping.
Funny though, DELL gave me a ETA of Feb 2nd arrival on my purchase order!

Dell had this for $799, I can't believe this isn't bigger news. Must be a substandard panel or something.
Just read their review of it. I see why.

The LG 50PV450 ($999 MSRP) was a sorely disappointing plasma. We will remember it in our hearts as being a dim screen with highly unusual greyscale gamma, and some of the worst color performance we’ve seen in an LG.

After reading the thread on the 60pv450 (same as 60pv250 for most purposes) I knew this was not going to be a top of the line plasma....but given the price point, features, and tweaks that can be been made for the black levels - it's a great value for most. Not everyone wants to or can afford to drop a couple of grand on a TV..... For 699.99 the value on this plasma is the best bang for the buck given my needs.

I received the shipment notifcation today and it looks like Pilot will deliver this on Monday. Not bad for ordering last Friday afternoon with free shipping. Good thing Monday is a day off for me!

I took mine out of the box and set up with 7.1 home theater system (HTS). The model is 60pv250-UB. It was manufactured October 2011 in Mexico. It receives over the air channels with no problem. It has 3 HDMI inputs, of which I am only using 1 for my HTS receiver. It plays blu-ray with HTS nicely, however, it does not appear to have an audio return channel (ARC) to play over the air tv over my HTS. I will have to get an optical in connection.

If anyone knows how to get the over the air channels to play on your HTS via HDMI to your receiver, please post.

kwaidonjin, I can't say for sure since I haven't received it yet, but I did read in one of the expert forums that the 250 is actually a newer model than the 450. Although the technology probably didn't change much, I'm hoping lg corrected some of the picture issues that the 450 reviews claimed.

I don't have the TV to check, but from the LG 60PV250 owner's manual pdf:

V i v i d , S t a n d a r d , , C i n e m a ,
S p o r t , and G a m e Settings are preset
for the optimum picture quality at the
factory.

G a m e : This is the mode to realize fast
response speed in a fast gaming screen.

If they did fix the issues then you have one hell of a deal on a 60in. plasma.

I received my 60pv250 today from Dell today and wow it is fantastic! Build date on mine is September 2011. Blacks are actually fairly decent out of the box. Doing the break in now. Awesome plasma for 699!

Dell is offering a $50 promo gift card for every $300 gift card you buy. Just confirmed the deal still works - see this thread:
