Yeah sometimes. I saw in with some channel logos as well and in a few PS3 games with frozen items such as a status indicator.
I think you mean PK950 instead of PK750?
I think that the XD engine in the LG TVs is quite good when it comes to SD. The scaling is fair and de-interlacing is fair as well.
G20 is better than G10 from 2009 that had some scaling and de-interlacing issues.
I don't see major differences with SD with PK950 and G20 in practice. PK950 is definitely better at handling SD than G10 but G20 has resolved most of the internal circuit issues.
HD is better on G20 in my opinion. The PK950 is fair but not the best TV I have seen when it comes to HD.
I am not an expert flat panels (this will be my first plasma) and I am curious whether in normal viewing with both calibrated properly and side by side would I notice any difference in picture quality?
Between the G20 and PK950? Well, let me put it this way. Both TVs has their cons and pros and what parameters matter the most tends to be a different from one person to another. I won't say that either is definitely better than the other in every respect but I still believe that G20 has the edge when it comes to picture quality.
LG has moved closer to Panasonic in 2010 than in 2009, however.
