Just wanted to post my feedback on this TV.The comparison is going to be between entry level Full HD plasma from Lg of 2014 and Flaghship Full HD LED Tv from Sony in 2013.
The first thing we notice is humongous Size of the plasma when compared to the other TV 950a in our family.
To start with, I will start with the experience of playing the slides in both the TVS.
One word is Damn, Nothing to beat the screen uniformity in a Plasmas
The LG plasma beats the hell out of the 950a is screen uniformity in Blacks, Greys, RGB, Smooth Gradients of Black, Grey and RGB.
But to be honest, I had to pump up the cell light to get the required levels in Gradients whereas in LED I had to bring down the back light level.
Over all, excellent screen uniformity, but in grey scale gradients, I found some colour mismatch in certain bands,
The testing was by playing Dark Night, Avengers and Avatar through PC in Plamsa. The Plasma had a lot of motion judder in this no matter what setting I made. I was pissed of as hell in viewing it.
So we played the same movies through 1 TB HD and here was the surprise. There was no noticeable Motion Judder at all except for some heavy scene where even the best of the best Tvs has trouble. So played out with default setting. The colours were so vibrant and it made the viewing experience very enjoyable and had good contrast ratio.
One thing I noticed was the picture didnt get blurred when viewing fast action scene. The sharpness was very there and real.
Avatar played excellently and never the though occurred that the TV was only 53 k.
W950A
Next shifted to 950a for the testing and it just handled the motions excellent in Clear mode. The setting I have is so life like and sometimes I felt that its really wrong to compare an entry level with a flash ship even though the technology is different.
Motion blur was not as evident as other TVs in the 950a, but evident when compared to plasma, even though its an entry level one.
The 950a also had issues in playing the Avatar and created some tiles in certain scene, but LG just trounced it in those scenes. Felt something to do with deciphering or decoding the format in the Sony I guess.
6600 Lags in
Motion Handling in certain scene Although I used default settings.
Colour reproduction Not so accurate
Calibrating Not my taste, the calibrated image was dull, maybe I am not capable.
Light out put
High Reflections
6600 Excels in:
Sharp images in videos as motion blur was not there when compared to LED
Excellent sound output when played through PC, but not through HD
Excellent playability and handles formats with ease and very smooth fast forwards in player.
Fast browser experience.
Bigger screen Size
Value for money
950a:
Enough has been said everywhere.
King of picture quality.
Very easy to calibrate.
Piece of cake to start calibration when trying out from Cinema mode.
Slow browser experience
