This might be a great TV but I don’t know as mine does not work. Shipped fast and the box looks fine. Plugged it in and hooked it up . . . basically, I get a very brief flash of a picture, long enough to see something there, such as the menu or source, but not long enough to read anything. I get three to five of these flashes then the unit powers itself off. Very frustrating. Also, though one can buy a TV and have it shipped and delivered in a few days it takes two weeks to have LG send somebody to come look at it. Depending on the outcome of the service visit I’ll either update my review or send it back and buy something else.

This is the first time I have ordered something this big and cost on the Internet. I must say it was great. Amazon was great and the delivery company was excellent. TV – Only issue is the audio sync. I have called LG (India??) who have said a tech will call me. When I asked when – I was advised my issue would in put in the queue. I really do like the TV but if they cannot resolve the audio issue, it’s going back. Various blogs also report this issue but no one can advise me how to resolve it. I’ll have to wait for LG.

Love the TV. Have not tried it with HD input yet, but the picture is very good even with normal DVD, VHS and DirecTV input. Was easy to setup. The sound is also good.

I started watching television in 1960, and this thing just blows me away. I’m almost sorry I didn’t go for a larger screen, but it already intrudes into local reality. This thing looks so good it’s spooky.

In a nutshell: Best TV in its class. Sound and picture quality is through the roof, well built, easily customized, and more then affordable.
Let me start by saying I am NOT an LG fan, I would rather have a Samsung! The 240hz (weather it be this set or any set) is a bit on the gimmicky side if you ask me as there is little difference from the 120hz, but that wouldn’t stop me from buying this set again, its nice to know you wont be held back by old tech. Great for gaming and sports, as well as movies and HD-TV. The picture quality is simply amazing. The size is perfect for a midsized room, weather it be well lit or very dark. The settings for the TV are awesome because there is an easy preset way to choose picture settings depending on your needs, or an in depth “picture wizard” to perfect the quality and settings (really cool and effective programing that is really upscale). The angle of viewing is very good even up to 45 degrees off from straight on, and the motion blur is, well, nonexistent. The remote control is very good and easy on battery life, but a bit on the simple side and perhaps aimed at children. The sound quality and volume is AMAZING and surpasses any expectation of even a huge TV with massive speakers, they really over did the sound on this thing! Connections on the front side and rear bottom of the panel make for easy installation. The frame and boarder of the screen are glossy but do not give that light glare effect that can distract you from the picture that so many new TVs edges have. For under a grand there is no better TV of its size and quality.
