The Most Solid Tv on the Market for the Money
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
First of all you can get the tv at best buy during sales for 2199 and then get them to match a coupon for sears for 10% off.
Secondly, there are no voice issues if you use the right kind of hdmi cable…get the brand new updated version and you won’t have
any problems. Third, do yourself a favor and buy the new ps3 to play your movies on..even if you don’t need a game system.
It has wireless networking, it’s down to 299 and it will display all your photos and music on your tv, it’s like having a 120
gig hard drive hooked up to your tv with blueray capability. I have been looking for a year for the right tv and i knew this
was it. The picture is fully backlit, instead of edgelit like the Samsung, that makes a big difference in the details. The
other thing is that the picture is absolutely stunning. The LED technology will save you money over plasmas and last longer…
approximately 7-15 years longer. It doesn’t run as hot as plasmas, the electricity cost you a lot less, there’s no fear of burn in,
the picture is unbelievable and there’s several places to use it as a computer monitor. Pertaining to other people’s comments
about the power light, it actually blends into the background when you’re watching tv or a movie, it’s not bothersome at all, but
in the case that it does bother you really bad, hey, just get a sharpie, lol. Some of you reading this are wondering what tv to
buy. If you do your research, consumer reports, cnet and all those, they will tell you this is one of the best in the 55″ category.
The contrast ratio is 2,000,000 to 1, the automotion ms response time is 4 or less because of the 240 hz, not as fast as a plasma but how many people were complaining when there lcd’s were just 120 hz…no one was. Anyway, good luck with your decision but at the end
of the day if you buy this tv, you’ll be happy.
Outstanding LCD TV with LED Backlighting
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this TV from our local BestBuy. I had been looking at the Samsung edge-lit LED/LCD line. The LG TV rep happened to be at the Fort Worth store, and he was really helpful. I’ve had the TV now for three four days, and I couldn’t be happier.
The TV is used in a well-lit living area, making the matte screen useful. I have looked at a LOT of TVs, and if you’re worried about the matte screen diminishing picture quality, don’t be. It kills reflections very effectively. The picture is gorgeous, regardless of source (LG BD390 Blu-ray player and a Dish Network 722 receiver in my case). Beautiful color, black blacks. Try the THX picture mode – it looks VERY realistic. My mom had a Panasonic plasma TV, and this is a better picture.
Worth buying just for the futuristic standby/on power light; can be disabled if you’re not as fond of it as I am.
The sound/lip synch issue with HDMI feeds has gotten a lot of attention. Using the TV audio, I had an initial problem with the Dish receiver till I tweaked the receiver’s settings. Same with BD390 player. Now all is well with either HDMI TV audio or external audio. I do think HD audio, especially with HDMI feeds, are problematic sometimes (too often). I understand that a solution is coming in the form of some sort of forced sync between HDMI audio and video in the HDMI standard. Hope so. With external audio, an audio delay box might be useful.
I am sitting here watching the Dish HD NBC Today show feed. It’s stunning. I am a biologist, and I recently watched the Blu-ray version of Planet Earth. It nearly brought me to tears, it was so gorgeous.
Buy and enjoy!
Amazing TV
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have been watching LED LCD TV’s for some time, and was patiently waiting for a local retailer to bring this in store so I could see it. Finally, I decided to order it sight unseen. Best decision I made. The picture is unbelievable. It also has a setup that walks you through each element of the calibration. Finally, it autosenses which inputs are active so when you cycle through it lists those first. If you have been waiting for an LED TV that features local dimming, wait no more. This is the TV for you.
Great Picture, bad software
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Amazing picture that jumps out. There is a bug however, the lip-synch issue when using HDMI it jumbles the audio and video. LG has been working on this issue for over a month and still no fix. You think this is something they would catch in QA? Hopefully they will deliver this soon and fix the issue. Other than that, no complaints…great TV. It’s a shame to buy a nice TV like this and have to use the component cables.
Great tv but cable needs to catch up with technology
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The picture on this tv is breathtaking, best I have experienced. The only problem is that the feeds from cable are not of a high a quality needed. Basically the tv shows up minor flaws and has some pixelation issues when watching on cable, when watching on a blu ray dvd there are no such issues. Some channels are worse than others, but I guess this is the problem with being an early adopter.
This TV is awesome!

This TV is Beautiful. It has deep colors and superior picture. The only drawback is the standby power indicator can be quite bright. But the movies shown on this TV from my Blu-ray are just phenomenal! The 240Hz make the picture sharp during fast motion. The blacks are deep and true, not grey. Why it’s not included in a certain retailers ‘Magnolia’ section is beyond belief. Bottom line is this TV is georgeous!
Lip sync issue ruins this tv for me
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Tried to ignore the reviews complaining about lip sync issues…some people had the problem…some didn’t. So I took a chance. This tv has a gorgeous picture, but it’s like watching an old Godzilla movie with dubbed audio. I simply refuse to buy a separate audio system to make it work properly. I contacted LG and was informed their “fix” is still in testing and they can’t give me a date for release. I give up. Ordered Panasonic plasma today.
Lip synch issue with Cable TV Box
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Picture is excellent (5 stars). I have a bright room with lots of sunshine. So I needed a LCD/LED TV with matted screen. This one worked for me perfectly – except for audio (0 star):
I use Time Warner Digital Cable box to get HiDef Channels. When I connect it using HDMI 1.3b cable, the audio LAGs the video by about 1/2 second. This is not the normal HDMI “Lip Synch” issue where audio comes before video. My lip synch problem on this TV has audio coming after video. If I use component connections instead of HDMI, then no audio problem at all.
I tested the same Time Warner Cable TV box with the same HDMI cable on a Sony Bravia XBR LCD TV and there was no audio synch problem.
I have contacted LG for problem resolution. Will wait to see how good their customer support is.

I’ve been very happy with this tv. Picture is very good. Remote is very good. Sound is less than great. The matte screen is why I purchased it. Almost all other 55″ lcd’s have a ultra clear, shiny screen. If you have a very dark room to view your tv then the shiny screen is the way to go but for the rest of us who have their tv in a normal room with windows and lights, the less reflective screen is much better.
