How is this TV's picture in a dark room?

It is brilliant, I love the picture quality of it in any light especially in dark room

It's very bright, very hi-def -- best picture of any I have owned. Theres also a good picture in daylight. For the price, this TV is superb ... also has lots of WiFi functionality.

I have my tv in a windowless basement. Picture has been top notch. 3D might make it a little more dim, but this is very slight and I have not been bothered by the difference.Short: Picture is very good in the dark.

The TV picture is very sharp and has good contrast. It performs well during day but looks even better at night when my room is dark. I wasn't sure about the 3D but it is amazing with a good 3D movie. I've had the TV for almost a year. I would purchase the LG 55LA6900 today if I needed another TV. The smart remote is very compact and is very user friendly.

I would not recommend it in a room that is not dark. The LED is good, but it is does not do well in a lit room.

The tv has a high gloss to it. So you will get reflection. Even on a matte screen, but glossy is worse. Now, if you block out some of that light - it's worth it. The TV will truly shine at night. The contrast and color saturation is awesome.

I like mine so far. I only bought it for the price. I don't hear any buzz so far, but it's only been used about three or four times. I have a Samsung 46" lcd 1080p in my bedroom and I think the picture on this 50 inch holds up well against it. Someone in one of the reviews I read on this plasma tv says that there is a chip that prevents "burn in" on these newer plasmas. Well not on this one. The manual clearly states that burn in is an issue and to turn down brightness and contrast while playing video games or dvds. We'll see what happens I guess.

I purchased a 750 on 11/29/08 from Amazon and received it the following week. In a very dark room and from the right angle, you can see the image getting reflected through the beveled edge of the frame, but it is hardly noticeable. My wife didn't even see it until I pointed it out to her. It has no effect at all on my viewing pleasure. I have the TV placed on a corner TV stand positioned in a corner, but I don't think it would make any difference against a flat wall.

I do NOT feel it is reflective while watching the tv but it does reflect light source if you LOOK for it. The picture quality is amazing. The sound is however subpar. I am in the process getting a sound bar. But if you are going to have a sound system hooking to it it won't matter.

I have mine sitting right next to a black TV and it doesn't look out-of-place. So, yeah, I'd say it's darker than the picture. I imagine that the picture was taken in a place with bright lighting. Maybe that's why it looks lighter.

If its not in a well lighted area then at night the picture will be black and white, and not as clear when during the day in color.

We just got our UNC7000 shipped yesterday from Amazon and it truly is an amazing tv, I especially like the internet widgets. But you do notice the lights (slight dim light on black background) on the edges of the tv when you're watching movies with the black border edges. It is not a very bright and distracting light and does not take anything away from the picture quality.As a side note, we weren't looking to a buy a 3d TV but were blown away by the 3d picture.

This TV has different "Scene" settings which it selects based on the input type. You can also change them by the remote control. I find all of them to look dark and have a color cast except for the "standard" one.

The further back you put it, the larger the image. However, I have found: a "good" image around 48-52 inch diagonal on a real roll up screen in a very dark room. Anything else I said would be theory.

Yes it's great of that if it's at twilight or darker. Broad daylight would probably not show up very good. We use it in a darkened living room projecting it to about 8ft screen size. It looks just like the movies. The high def via the hdmi jack is great!!!

Use "Movie" mode, although it is darker than the others it gives you the best results in a dark room and allows for the quickest adjustment to proper calibration. These are my settings for my PS3/Blu Ray player (my HD Cable is slightly brighter) Oh and I strongly recommend you SHUT OFF Auto Motion Plus, it causes a soap opera effect and creates the illusion the picture is moving faster than normal. Color Temp: Warm 2 Backlight:7-10 depending on your preference Brightness:47 Contrast:95 Color:45 Sharpness:5 Tint:G49/R51 White Balance Settings: Red Offset: 28 Green Offset: 25 Blue Offset: 16 Red Gain: 25 Green Gain: 25 Blue Gain: 21 I like these settings and I got them from a credible source. Ultimately it is up to the viewer, and everyone has different preferences. I would advise a lower backlight setting for a few reasons. It is set high at the factory so the TV looks better next to it's competitors in store, and second it consumes more power and will shorten your TV's life span (will burn out faster). Play around with these settings and find what works for you. Hope this helps.

Yes, images are quite clear and bright even in nearly total darkness. However, don't expect to see natural colors low-light conditions... at night the images are more black & white in tone.

Kevin, I am not answering your question but I am confirming that I have the same problem with Samsung I just purchased 3 days ago. It is a complete mirror in my family room. People say plasma or lcd/led has better picture quality, but if all you can see is the reflection of the room or trees and clouds in the sky reflecting from your window, then I would say that would be a very very poor quality picture. And shouldn't you be able to enjoy your TV and look outside your window at the same time? You shouldn't have to make your room like a cave to see your TV. We love our big windows and well-lit room. Never had this problem with our previous DLP. Sorry, just venting. I'm going in the store today to look at the Mitsubishi DLP's.

It's almost like a LED TV. Just be careful with direct sunlight on the projection screen/wall. I have mounted mine on a specific dark room, because I'll use it for movies, but for presentations it is perfect in normal light areas.

I think Justin's settings are fine and that the key is high contrast, low brightness and I keep my settings just around where Justin's are too. I have my color set down to around 31 and sharpness very low, energy setting at medium.There's several settings at the www.avsforum.com for this tv
