          +1 I'd never expect a tv to support it. Usually found on anime and Asian movies. If you need obscure codecs use the $100 you save on the tv and buy a dedicated media player that supports it.

        because its ozbargain. whats a deal if you end up spending more on the overall cost. but i do say $500 for a 50" LG is tempting. just like the the Free baby Cot from Ikea. http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/93921#comment-1253353
        Save $98 on a Plasma but spend double the amount in electricity over the lifespan of the tv.

          Hal his post is referring to the type of energy and production. Not cost.

    • izzeho on 21/02/2013 - 09:11

      "A Plasma television does cost significantly more electricity than a LED TV. However, the resulting cost at the end of the year is not very big, about 40$ more for a 50" plasma. On a 5 year period, the total amount saved would be 200$.

      As mentioned previously here, a Plasma TV cost on average 350$ less than a LED TV for the same size. Based on this, it will take 8.75 years for the total cost of ownership (initial cost + electricity cost) of a plasma television to surpass its LED counterpart. If you plan to own and use your television for more than 8.75 years, a LED television will end up costing you less in its lifetime than a Plasma TV."

      Somehow I think 9 years is a pretty shitty RoI getting the LED…

        And this analysis doesn't even take into account the time value of money; the NPV would be negative

      • Hoju on 21/02/2013 - 09:55

        Is that a US website?
        I think we pay at least double the electricity cost they've used in their analysis, though i don't have a bill handy to check

        • andysa on 21/02/2013 - 14:25

          I pay $0.22 per kWh, double the default value they have there.

        Plasma are also better quality as well. Just need a darker room that's the only bad part.

    • IamEzza on 21/02/2013 - 15:51

      The power consumption of plasma has been massively improved over the past few years due to the pressure from LCD TVs.

      Plasmas used to use WAY more than LCDs now the difference is so much smaller it really doesn't matter for most situations.

    I think this Samsung 51" plasma is a better buy for $50.00 more -
    http://www.appliancesonline.com.au/samsung-ps51e450-series-4…

    It uses 119 kWh/annum (10hrs a day) less than the LG, Which is about $29.00 less a year.

    • mattypoika on 21/02/2013 - 10:11

      If you watch 10 hours of TV a day it is probably worth it… I hope there aren't people out there that do.

      • WatchNerd on 21/02/2013 - 10:15
        +1

        Yes this is one of the reasons why the plasma vs led power usage argument is so pointless.
        An led is going to cost a lot more to buy, which can pay for a lot of run time on a plasma.

        • MATTDAMON on 21/02/2013 - 10:46
          -1

          It's not so much the power consumption, it's the heat from plasma's, they pump out a lot of heat in comparison to a led tv.

        • Graybags on 21/02/2013 - 17:20

          My 51" Samsung Plasma is cooler than my 32"lcd. It the is barely noticeable.

        • MATTDAMON on 22/02/2013 - 01:58

          Cathode backlit or LED, if its the former then you would be on the money, I was referencing the heat output compared to an equivalent LED tv to which the led runs significantly cooler.

        • WatchNerd on 22/02/2013 - 11:39

          It's the same thing, heat equals power consumption.
          It works out about $0.12-$0.15 a day more for 10 hours use to run a new model Samsung 50" plasma.This LG is probably a bit more.

  • martyn on 21/02/2013 - 10:38

    I have this TV, very happy with it overall, PQ is great and sound is not as tinny as most modern TV's. If you have windows opposite where your TV sits then glare will be an issue. Also it's not a "Smart TV", you need to bring your own set top box type device if you want to use iView etc.

    The bottom line: The LG PA6500 is a decent plasma television if you'll have nothing less than 1080p for cheap, but it's not the best value at this level.

    • skazclaw on 22/02/2013 - 00:22

      at $500 it might be the best value

  • thunderlips on 23/02/2013 - 02:36

    This deal has only sold out online - some stores still have stock. I just picked one up from Morayfield in Qld and they had a few left. I bought it as a gift so haven't tested for image quality but one in store looked good for the price. Tested for heat too and it was hardly warm - although the store was freezing so this may have been a factor. Considering the price, I may go back for another one for the child.
