   On 50% of cable HDTV channels, the picture freezes and the sound is not synchronized to the picture. My other major brand plasma does not have this problem with the same connection. Picture is brilliant, but it doesn’t matter if it’s not working properly. I do not recommend this TV.

   I wanted to only provide info not found in all the other reviews, to add to whats gathered.

   I Have found that for this exact same model LG HDTV model sold in USA, LG disables many features that are enabled for True Free Market Nations.

   When I checked out the other Nations forums for this TV, I found out that on all the LG websites for other Nations, the specks point out rich bonus features that that are not stated on the LG USA site.
   
   So it seems LG does not favor the USA market as for some other nations for the USB connection it even says plays Divix HD – wow!
   
   Link for the Divix-HD and Blue tooth speck getting nation (might be Singapore – wow they get 2 nice ones then(blue tooth). And they insist USA is the most advanced…
   
   [...]

   For sure for the Australia market it states Divix see link for their LG site!
   
   [...]

   UPDATE: I found out the “sg” in LG’s website is not for Senegal in Africa but rather for Singapore. And that makes sense as Singapore’s government really looks out for its valuable Citizens and has a fierce level playing field free market with cradle to grave safety net. Most individuals in USA do not have the time or means to research every boring detail to compare the best value of a feature(s) – but a Benevolent Government does have top experts whose sole duty is to research and then draft what is good for the consumer of their nation.

   BTW it seems I can’t put the link for the Singapore nor the Australian LG website – if you like just Google LG and Singapore or “sg” and same for Australia to get the link for LG’s Foreign website page for this exact same Model # TV! You also will get to see a multimedia presentation (Singapore LG site) which covers many features that we also get in USA for this same model, this will give you a better idea of which Plasma is for you – as the USA LG site lacks the videos of the TV features.

   If you are value conscience like me, which you must be as you are looking at a value priced TV, as is the Samsung and Panasonic – all that is left is to find out which gives you the biggest bang for the buck. Now if LG sold USA citizens the same Feature Rich 50PJ350 Plasma HDTV they sell in Singapore, then it would win hands down no questions! As Divix + Dixix-HD + MKV + Blue Tooth + MPEG4 + MPEG2 + WMV + AVI(and variants) = A super product.

   This is a growing trend – we Americans have been told we are the most advanced, so now they sell other Nations more advanced versions of the exact same products. All Said buying from Amazon is the best overall experience compared to other places in USA.

   So if you want the same features for future LG products tell LG we want what other advanced Nations get – then you can likely find it right hear – as Amazons services is tops!

   I’m glad that I returned the 1080P Samsung PN-50B550 because it didn’t have a feature they said it did. That was lucky for me becasue this LG 50PJ350 outshines the Samsung in beauty, picture, audio, and ease of use despite being 720P and saving me $350. This TV has a much faster tuner, better menu, better sound, and saves more on energy. Of Course, this is the first LG product I’ve ever owned and hope it will be reliable, too.

   This TV is thin and sleek. The base is not sturdy or heavy enough. It is not weighted down like a previous samsung I’ve owned. The swivel feature does not work to well… when you go to swivel the TV the entire unit moves every time. Good picture besides the multiple dead pixels all over the screen. I called Amazon and they are replacing the TV and it is shipping within 2 days. I will update my review once I receive the new unit (hopefully without dead pixels).

   Update** Received the new TV without a single dead pixel. As I stated before some of the things that still bother me are the stand and how flimsy it is. I wish there were more advanced settings to tune the picture. Although, there is 3 HDMI inputs and plenty of component inputs. Good thing cable boxes and other components have standard audio out ports because this TV does not.

   Great TV for the price. Very Slim and the picture is great. Sound could be better but will be buying audio system soon. Would recommend for sure..
