Great picture, decent sound quality, easy to setup. Worked right out of the box, no problems.

After reading reviews and searching around at best buy i decided that i didn’t want to deal with all the worries of owning a plasma, seems like to much hassle for not enough gain. i also decides that i didn’t really like the 240hz motion enhancers(i turn them off on this tv as well) given all that this tv had the best features for the least amount of money without the reliability issues of one other company.
Tne tv looks very cool, the bezel on the bottom is a little thicker than the others but the cool little on/off light that pulsates makes up for it. the screen has a nice matte finish that doesn’t reflect much. the stand swivels which is cool (i mounted the tv on the wall but will save the stand for when i move).
I haven’t noticed any of the sound delay as all of my sound goes through a surround sound system.
The built in image tweaking features are very extensive, its worth using a calibration dvd as the “picture wizard” is helpful but doesn’t change a whole lot.
Awesome for the money, easy to setup and install, plenty of connections on the back. I definitely recommend this tv over most of the newer more expensive lcd tvs. the only lcds with the very noticeably better picture quality were the local backlit led lcd tvs. but they cost at least twice as much.

We’re happy with the LG 55″, sound and picture quality are excellent, tho it now has an add-on sound bar and sub-woofer. The TV arrived on time, the guys carried it all the way to the room where it was to be installed; even concerned about the box getting the carpet diry in that room and asked for a blanket or towel. The delivery men removed it from the box and were willing and ready to hook it up for me, a service from them we didn’t need.
This is our first “big TV”, the biggest previous to this being 37″. We’re thrilled with the HD picture, even the looks of this TV.

I have had this TV for a few weeks now. Actually it is my second. The first one delivered came with the backlight not working correctly. It would turn on/off flicker all the time.
I called Amazon and got referred to LG customer service. LG customer service after going through an unsuccessful over the phone troubleshoot attempt opened a case for repair. Called Amazon back, gave the LG case number, and got the TV promptly replaced (old one picked up when the new one was delivered).
The new TV works great with standard and HD programing (cable), up-scaled DVD and Blue Ray content. Media PC output- connected via HDMI is equally crisp and clear. Controls are simple and intuitive, would definitely buy again.
Amazon service including customer service was outstanding, easy to reach and very helpful (native English speaking support – NOT some difficult to understand, outsourced service)!!

I bought this because of the great price on Amazon. I was going to wait until Christmas and get the best price on a large 52+ inch LCD or plasma but saw this model on sale at Worst Buy for just under @1500. Checked Amazon and they had it for $1418.19 and thought with free shipping and no sales tax, I was getting it for a super bargain.
I was concerned about some consumer reviews I read. They all said the picture quality was fantastic, but there was a problem with the sync on the sound. I already had sound system hooked directly from my Comcast Digital Cable box so the sound sync problem never was an issue. In playing with the TV, I did try the speakers to hear how good they were and I wasn’t very impressed. There is a sync problem when using the internal speakers so I just turned them off and will forever use my sounds system and get great sound.
The picture quality is really great. I was watching a few of our favorite shows on the first night we had it, and I noticed how much more detail I could notice with this TV. My old LCD was a Sharp 46 inch and while the picture was fantastic too, the detail level that this 55 inch provides is so much better.
Shipping was free and very fast. The item shipped from Phoenix and took a total of 7 days (ordered on Sat and delivered on Friday to be in my home.
Just a quick follow up. I have seen that the price on this TV has dropped…..but I also have noticed that the availability of this item is also very scarce. When you factor in free shipping and no sales tax, the price I paid wasn’t bad at all. Also, the home delivery and set up is a great value.
I am very happy with this purchase. The low price and free shipping made this deal a super value! The only negative I can point to is the sound quality of the internal speakers and the sync problem. I read on another forum that they were able to overcome this with composite cables but I wanted the advantage of HDMI cables.
Overall, super TV image, super seller, and outstanding quality for the money!
