I have been a mute observer here for almost a month now. After consulting a lot the posts here, I finally got 42PQ60 for 41k @ LG store in Koramangala.
First things first. Let me start off by saying that the TV is gorgeous! I mean, Its almost unbelievable that Koreans pulled it off. Planning to wall mount it sometime next week, as this thing deserves on one.
Sound is pretty good. Im still trying to find where the speakers are, The sound is def. coming from behind and not the frame, as LG advertises. However its pretty loud and clarity is quite decent.
Picture is quite good, however I was quited disappointed by the fact that we dont have ISF modes on this (PQ6000 has).
Now on to the bad parts,
Black levels, as everyone pointed out, black levels arent soo good. But they are better than LCD's. just that they are not as good as Plasmas.
Having said that, I must stress out the point that, you will not notice it unless you are sitting in a very very dark room. Even then, blacks are not so bright as to ruin your experience.
Divx Player : Sheer gimmick value. you cant adjust picture in this mode, nor can you set sound modes, and energy saver options dont work either. You cannot zoom or stretch the picture to fix black bars. I found that my PS2 does a much better job of playing DivX (SMS player on Matrix modded ps2).
IR problem is def there, but the good news is that after a while it should go away. Also, you really need to nitpick ( I was few inches from the screen to see the IR clearly, that too on a black screen). Its not as worrying as some of the ppl make it out to be. But I would advice caution, for the first 100hrs of Plasma's life.
Overall, Im pretty happy with this tv, Im yet to perform any decent adjustments to the tv.
One advice though, if you dont want the frameless design, then you are better off with PQ30, since its the same panel minus the divx playback
If bluetooth is important then PQ70. So in essence
In essence,
PQ30 For Good TV,
PQ60 for frameless design
PQ70 for BT.
Let me know if you need me to fill in anything else.
