<p>I had my 55LE8500 delivered last Wednesday and after spending some time with it I know I made the right choice for a new television. The picture is really stunning when displaying HD programming. Bluray titles even more so. I am also extremely happy with the quality of standard def programming, ie non hd cable channels and avi files.</p>
<p>The black level performance is amazing. This tv has full array LED backlighting with local dimming and does not suffer from clouding or flashlighting problems that are present in other products.</p>
<p>The glass front is both an image improver lending a crystal clear look to the picture, but it is also very reflective so you will need to be able to control light sources in your viewing room. For me this was not difficult, however, if you have a room with many large windows and also lamps it could be a challenge.</p>
<p>You may also enjoy the internet features available after connecting the television to your network. You can update the firmware when available, there are movie choices from Vudu and Netflix and many more options.</p>
<p>This product is an expensive item, but the build quality shows and the display technology is among the best out there this year. My first choice had been a Panasonic 54VT25 plasma; its screen is not so reflective, but I am worried about image retention and burnin so I went with the LCD.</p>
<p>If you want one of the best HD displays and can control the light sources in your viewing room, you won&#8217;t regret owning the LG LE8500.</p>

<p>Let me start by saying that I am not a videophile, but when it comes to purchasing a television I can be very picky. I went through the whole LCD vs. Plasma dilemma 3 years ago when I bought my Samsung 5084 (one of the best non-Pioneer plasmas at the time). That said, I was ready to supplement that unit this year with a &#8216;smaller&#8217; LCD for the bedroom (didn&#8217;t want to sweat IR, horizontal line bleed, etc). Needless to say, LCD options in the &#8216;budget&#8217; range lack features that alleviate some of their drawbacks, forcing you to suffer through motion blur, clouding, and terrible black levels if you choose a set for ~$800).</p>
<p>Enter the 42&#8243; plasmas. For the sake of comparison, I decided to investigate the plasma alternative once again. This essentially brought me to the Samsung C450 due to my positive experience with the 5084 and glowing reviews for the C450. Unfortunately, users reported an audible buzzing noise from the Samsung (a noise I know full well from the 5084 and did not want to deal with on a bedroom set).</p>
<p>Enter the PJ350. I only became aware of this set after seeing it next to the Samsung at the store. From a design perspective, it tops the Samsung with an ultra thin bezel, very thin chassis, and no &#8216;touch of red&#8217;. Furthermore, I heard no buzzing from the LG floor model, while the Samsung sounded like someone was digging honey out of a beehive. Since it is a brand new model I had no reviews to rely on, but I took the plunge.</p>
<p>Picture quality from this unit is superb for any sub-$1k TV, much less one at this price point. This 720p set rivals my 1080p plasma in most respects, most notably black levels. I have only had it for a few days now, but setting the TV on &#8216;cinema&#8217; mode at 70 contrast and 50 brightness is really impressive (I recommend switching those two numbers for several weeks to break in the unit). If you place your head behind the unit, you can hear the typical plasma &#8216;buzz&#8217;, but this is completely inaudible at any reasonable viewing distance. While this goes without saying, all the benefits of plasma are apparent with this TV: cinematic quality motion (none of that chincy 120hz movement), 24p bluray playback, consistent backlighting, etc. I have noticed a tiny amount of false contouring, but less than my Samsung &#8211; hardly an annoyance. OTA video quality is, of course, superb. The reviewer who stated that colors are not as vivid clearly didn&#8217;t recognize that picture settings are independently adjustable for each input. This TV does offer a settings wizard to help set the picture based on your unit and environment, but I prefer manual adjustment to suit my personal tastes.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re worried about not having 1080p, don&#8217;t be. At this size, you will not detect a difference anywhere outside 4&#8242; from the unit. The screen is quite reflective, but if glare is your primary concern then you surely can settle for the inferior picture quality of a cheap LCD. While I have limited experience with my LG, I can honestly say that I am very pleased thus far.</p>

<p>I bought this TV after doing a bit of research and spending (too much) time checking out the different models in stores. It is my understanding that this model &amp; the 47&#8243; version are discontinued, so if you are interested buy now before you have trouble finding one. I paid $2K at BB on clearance last weekend (and had to check 4+ stores to find a new one instock).</p>
<p>A few comments that may help other uses make a decision about this TV:</p>
<p>Other customer reviews on this TV have mentioned a problem with the sound sync&#8217;ing. I have not seen that at all (using a Comcast hd box). I understand there is the ability to get a USB drive from the manufacturer to fix this problem should you encounter it.</p>
<p>I liked this TV better than Samsung because it does NOT have a glossy screen. That must be a preference thing&#8230;. some people think there&#8217;s more depth of color with a high gloss screen. I know I would HATE it because i would hate seeing lights, windows, movement in my living room, etc reflected back at me as if the TV is part mirror. If you don&#8217;t already know what I am talking about you should go to a store &amp; look at various TVs in person and decide whether you want a glossy screen. Only LG, Sony and Toshiba have no-gloss screens. All Samsungs I saw have them.</p>
<p>The LED-LCD technology adds a definite depth of color to this TV beyond what any other LCD has (based on my research &amp; comparable viewing against other TVs). I really love the picture quality of this set, and I have not even explored customizing the picture settings yet. The default setting bring in a picture so clear and deep I feel like I could reach into the screen.</p>
<p>Sound quality is reasonable. Remote &amp; controls are also fine. The stand swivels (somewhat). Viewing the TV from an angle is just fine imo. The TV setup was extremely easy, the screen is already connected to the stand, you just have to lift the box off &amp; get rid of styrafoam and put it in place.</p>
<p>The negatives imo&#8230;. I&#8217;m not crazy about the size of the frame and the stand on this model. The TV is 38 inches tall in total, but the bottom 9 inches of that are the stand plus the bottom frame of the TV&#8230;.leaving the actual screen size to be 27 inches tall (2 inches top frame). It bothers me b/c this TV is so tall it eliminates my ability to use the bridge on my entertainment center to display objects and also causes the TV to sit higher then i would want.</p>
<p>I would highly recommend this TV&#8230;.Get one while you still can!!</p>
<p>Another note..Do NOT buy expensive HDMI cables or packages. BB tried to sell me a Monster cable + powerstrip + cleaner for $200 and I laughed at them. After doing research it is my understanding that there is no reason to pay to upgrade that cable; I used the free one Comcast gave me and it seems great</p>

<p>We were looking to get a large LCD TV in the end of 2008, and therefore focusing on 52 inch TVs. The prices seemed to be unstable, and since we missed a really good deal, we kept waiting for it to happen again, especially after Christmas that year. The prices went up instead.</p>
<p>So around Christmas 2009, we started again, but this time 55 inch LCD TVs were the big thing, and after looking at several, this LG seemed to have the best combination of features at the price point we were evaluating. I was on the edge of getting it when it was at $1479 one morning, but didn&#8217;t. Later that afternoon it was $1399, less than the local price, and with no tax and free shipping with white glove delivery and setup, it was hard to beat, so I jumped on it. (As I write this review, it&#8217;s $1380!)</p>
<p>This TV has a beautiful picture, and the sound is fine (to me) without attaching a surround sound system. I think I&#8217;m going with LG products on TV&#8217;s and Blu-ray players for the foreseeable future, as the quality appears to excellent. Hopefully, they won&#8217;t become like Sony and after many years let everything go to pot. I can&#8217;t bring myself to buy anything Sony anymore, with all the products that I&#8217;ve had by them more recently that fell apart far too soon.</p>
<p>Just a word about the delivery if bought through Amazon &#8212; it was a wonderful experience. I was able to schedule a delivery time range, and when they brought it, they took everything out of the box, set it up, and took all the trash away, so no TV box out for trash pickup advertising to everyone what we got. I would buy a TV from Amazon again in a heartbeat, if I need one.</p>
<p>And after the experience with this LG TV, I think I&#8217;m going to need a smaller LG for my bedroom pretty soon.</p>
<p>I would also suggest the LG BD 370 Network Blu-ray Disc Player or LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player for those in the market for a Blu-ray player, especially with Netflix streaming.</p>

<p>The TV is good at the price point I paid &#8211; $629+tax (Sears). LG is a respected brand in Asia and a 42&#8243; LCD 1080p at that price is a good deal. The picture when viewing true HD signals, just comes to life and is breath-taking. Fairly basic connectivity with 1 composite, 2 AV, 1PC and 3 HDMI ports. Would have been nice to have one more composite and HDMI ports and looks like the newer models have them. The speakers are well hidden and makes for a smooth clean finish on the outside. There are also numerous (more than you ever want) amount of controls to fine-tune the picture. Fairly easy hack available to turn on USB port to view pictures or play movies &#8211; great bonus.</p>
<p>That said, the sound quality seems a bit sub-par compared to other TVs in the market. I also noticed some light leakage on the far corners of the TV &#8211; other than for Sony or Samsung this seems a problem for all other big TVs. Also, for those of you watching TV with over the air signals, please note that this TV does not pick up the OTA Electronic Program Guide (EPG), which was a big surprise to me, since those dirt cheap TVs you buy at Walmart or during BF sales too have them. Big goof-up at LG design, I should say. Lastly do not expect a Samsung or Sony style processing of low-fidelity signals (SD, ED). Standard-Def signals look rather grainy and poor &#8211; I guess the processing chip is where LG cheaped out. Invest in a good quality up-converting player for your DVDs and change the channel if you run-into non-HD programming as a work-around.</p>
<p>Lastly the customer service is no-worser than that of Samsung or Sony. A bunch of air-heads, quite a bit of wait-time and frustrating responses. But do not discount the TV for that &#8211; like I said &#8211; this is how all TV manufacturers support their TVs (I have a Sony and Samsung), so no big deal. Wish the industry was overall better, thatz all.</p>
<p>Overall, a reasonable purchase if you dont pay too much. I am sure you will learn to like your purchase &#8211; if you are considering it, go on pull the trigger.</p>

<p>After extensive research and visits to video stores, we chose the 42SL90 for several reasons &#8211; stunning HD quality, LED technology, small form factor, bluetooth, and excellent price/value. We were limited in size by our entertainment center &#8211; most other 42 inch sets were too wide, but the form factor of the 42SL90 is so svelte that it fits perfectly. After comparing 40 inch sets with 42 inch sets, the extra 2 inches of real estate was quite a noticeable improvement.</p>
<p>The HD picture on this set is absolutely stunning, much better than our Sony LCD XBR that sits in another room. We watch the SL90 from a distance of 10 to 12 feet and the size is perfect. All the bells and whistles have so far worked flawlessly. Blu Ray, DVDs, HD Roku, and HD cable look fantastic. Standard Def is actually watchable, again better than the Sony XBR.</p>
<p>The set comes with two remotes &#8211; a beautiful backlit model and a simpler model with just the basic functions. The menu system is easily the best I have ever used. Very intuitive and simple to use. The picture adjustments are extremely extensive. A picture wizard is included to calibrate to your own tastes. If you can&#8217;t find an optimum setting with this set, you should not be watching TV. The color accuracy appears to be spot on out of the box.</p>
<p>Given its thin 1.2 inch depth, the sound is better than I expected. I have yet to turn it up past the 50% volume level. Adjustments for bass, treble, and surround sound. And the Clear Voice II function works great. Hook the set up to a sound system and it really shines. The only cons so far (and we knew about these going in) &#8211; no analog audio out (optical only) and no PIP. I purchased a Gefen Dolby optical converter that allows the SL90 to work flawlessly with our legacy sound system.</p>
<p>Highly recommend the 42SL90. It is a stunning set to watch and easily the best looking set when turned off too.</p>

<p>Our &#8220;not too old&#8221; Sony TV decided not to come on one day so we decided it was time to upgrade to something better. Were we in for a treat.<br />
The previous reviewers have pretty much covered the basics of this TV, so I will relate my experience with it so far. I&#8217;ve had the TV for a couple weeks. I do not subscribe to any paid TV service (Cable, Satellite or FIOS) and have been relying strictly on digital OTA (Over The Air) for my TV channels. This TV displays OTA HDTV signals with unbelievable clarity. Also, it does a very good job with SDTV (480i) digital signals as well. I&#8217;ve watched 480i on other HDTV sets and was never as happy with the picture as I am with this one. Another surprise on this TV was how well it pulled in some analog stations from Canada.<br />
I have a second <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JV6TQY/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk">HDTV tuner</a> hooked up to the new TV via HDMI in order to utilize the guide and for scheduling recordings fro my VCR. Yes, my VCR! As I stated above, this TV handles 480i so well it makes VCR tapes bearable, even enjoyable! So, my VCR still has some use.<br />
I have the TV hooked online via an Ethernet cable. I subscribe to Netflix and only have a 1 mps speed for my internet. Netflix does not look all that good at this speed, but is watchable, especially for animated kids shows. Having Netfix on your TV is awesome. The interface is so easy to use that our 6 year old had it down in no time. I also tried VUDU and found that the picture quality was much better than Netflix and was usable at my 1 mps speed. You-Tube was about the same as it is online &#8211; some videos looked OK, some don&#8217;t.<br />
I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to access and view files on my computer. You can view pictures, play background music while viewing slideshows, and view videos stored on shared folders on your networked computer or any type of memory device attached to the USB port, such as a thumb drive or external hard drive. I was a little disappointed that it would not play AVI files from my wife&#8217;s digital camera, but I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s a solution. It will play WMV, other AVIs, and some DVD files I&#8217;d copied (VOB, I think).<br />
Picture control is very good. I like the energy saving feature, but sometimes it seems the auto adjust feature leaves the screen a bit dark. I usually set it to medium or minimum, depending on the amount of light in the room.<br />
The sound is OK. While it sounds good, there could be more control when watching online content. Sometimes the sound can be too loud for one video, then too low for another. Or even vary during a video. Hard to blame the TV though. The quality of the sound is good, not awesome but acceptable. If you want more, get a sound system.<br />
The remote is a weak spot on this TV. I find myself hunting for buttons all the time. There is no natural flow to the buttons. The remote is very long and narrow, I cannot reach all most commonly used buttons with my thumb and I have big hands.<br />
The inputs in back face the back so plan accordingly when mounting it to the wall.<br />
The manual is on a CD, a printed one would have been better. There is an onscreen manual which isn&#8217;t too bad though for most things.</p>

<p>After extensive research and visits to video stores, we chose the 42SL90 for several reasons &#8211; stunning HD quality, LED technology, small form factor, bluetooth, and excellent price/value. We were limited in size by our entertainment center &#8211; most other 42 inch sets were too wide, but the form factor of the 42SL90 is so svelte that it fits perfectly. After comparing 40 inch sets with 42 inch sets, the extra 2 inches of real estate was quite a noticeable improvement.</p>
<p>The HD picture on this set is absolutely stunning, much better than our Sony LCD XBR that sits in another room. We watch the SL90 from a distance of 10 to 12 feet and the size is perfect. All the bells and whistles have so far worked flawlessly. Blu Ray, DVDs, HD Roku, and HD cable look fantastic. Standard Def is actually watchable, again better than the Sony XBR.</p>
<p>The set comes with two remotes &#8211; a beautiful backlit model and a simpler model with just the basic functions. The menu system is easily the best I have ever used. Very intuitive and simple to use. The picture adjustments are extremely extensive. A picture wizard is included to calibrate to your own tastes. If you can&#8217;t find an optimum setting with this set, you should not be watching TV. The color accuracy appears to be spot on out of the box.</p>
<p>Given its thin 1.2 inch depth, the sound is better than I expected. I have yet to turn it up past the 50% volume level. Adjustments for bass, treble, and surround sound. And the Clear Voice II function works great. Hook the set up to a sound system and it really shines. The only cons so far (and we knew about these going in) &#8211; no analog audio out (optical only) and no PIP. I purchased a Gefen Dolby optical converter that allows the SL90 to work flawlessly with our legacy sound system.</p>
<p>Highly recommend the 42SL90. It is a stunning set to watch and easily the best looking set when turned off too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignleft" title="LG 55LH85" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31cqqgj-LLL._SL210_.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/best.buy.cheap.lg.lcd.tv-20/detail/B00252SQ0M" target="_blank">LG 55LH85</a></strong></p>
<p>During the advent of big screen TVs, I said I would replace my 27&#8243; Zenith color TV, purchased when I got married in 1969, when it quit on me. Well it didn&#8217;t and I couldn&#8217;t wait, so I bought a Sony KP5020 &#8220;coffee-table type&#8221; front projection TV in 1984. For the past few years, I have watched TV technology change to plasma and LCD&#8217;s. Like the Zenith, I gave up waiting for the Sony to quit also and after months of research deciding between plasma and LCD, I chose LCD and further upon further elimination of brands, a LG.</p>
<p>I am into gadgets and that&#8217;s my motorcycle group riding name. I wanted a bigger screen than 50&#8243;, so after deciding on the brand, there were 3 LG&#8217;s I looked at, the LG 55LH40, LG 55LHX and LG 55LH85. The so-called LED TV&#8217;s, like the LHX, are only backlit LEDs, not true LED like OLED and even though not true LED, they are expensive. Sony sells a true OLED TV for $2500 for an 11&#8243; screen and they are sold out, but out of my range. 120 Hz vs 240 Hz? The eye can&#8217;t tell that much difference for the price and LG 120 Hz has &#8220;True-Motion&#8221; to compensate for &#8220;judder&#8221;. The same goes for 720p vs. 1080p. The eye can&#8217;t tell much and I understand that HDTV transmissions are in 720p anyway, Blueray is in 1080p. What finally attracted me was the LG 85&#8242;s separate wireless media box with almost an infinite array of inputs and outputs, all transmitted wireless. If you have your sound system in one area and TV in another area, but in the same room, you&#8217;ve got it made with this system.</p>
<p>I found out that Black Friday weekend prices on the TVs were a little lower than Cyber-Monday. I waited until Cyber Monday and lost out on good prices. What a hype. The TVs went up $100 for the 85 to $300 for the 40. Even Newegg went up. As I am typing this, Newegg went back down to Black Friday week prices after 2 weeks of being $100 higher. It helps to have &#8220;Price-Protection&#8221; service like I have, for 60 days after purchase, but it&#8217;s not through Newegg. The prices on the net have been ranging from $1699 to $2699. What a difference in prices.</p>
<p>I think my TV was shipped from Ca., since it took 8 days to get here by AIT. There was a storm front in the area and I called their local contractor, J &amp; P trucking and asked them to postpone delivery a day later. They said they would deliver whenever I wanted and arrived 12/10/09.</p>
<p>It arrived strapped to a wooden pallet. I cut the straps and lifted the box over the TV that was encased in styrofoam. The only damage I found was 2 symmetrical hairline cracks on the back of the base that cannot be seen from the front. They are so equal, it almost looks like it was made that way. It was probably from the TV shifting on the foam.<br />
It is a handsome unit with transparent frame. The TV measures 54&#8243; wide, 10&#8243; wider than the Sony, so I had to improvise my space. I wheeled it in carefully with a dolly and lifted it up onto my surround sound bass-box that is 13&#8243;H X 13&#8243;W X 15&#8243; Deep. With stand, it weighs 86 lbs. Having the media box separate, saves weight. Inside the packing box is the TV, media box, 2 power cords, owners manual, extensive manual on a CD, remote with batteries, microfiber cloth and protection cover to cover the hole used by the TV stand, if you want to hang it up on the wall. You have to purchase a separate HDMI cables and VGA cable if you want to hook it up to your computer.</p>
<p>I had my previous TV hooked up with cable converter box; Go-Video DVD-VCR recorder; Go-Video VHS to VHS recorder; Sony DVD player changer and Sylvania DVD recorder, that runs through a multiple switching box master control center, so I am probably getting some signal loss. I hooked up the TV cable into the LG media box. My cable company also supplies not only TV, but broadband and telephone, another possible signal loss. It takes a few seconds for the media box&#8217;s transmitter located in the front of the box to search for the receiver located under the LG logo on the TV. Reception is similar to the &#8220;bars&#8221; on your cell phone and I am receiving 5 bars. By the time I finished hooking it up, the Jay Leno show was on and I thought either my vision was impaired or something&#8217;s wrong with the TV, because Jay&#8217;s head/face was out of focus. Was I upset and almost blamed it on the TV until I switched to a pre-recorded DVR program and then played a DVD and also switched to HD programming. I had no focus problems. Then I remembered the bad hype that the Sony projection TVs got many years ago. The increased size accented the poor transmissions put out by the TV stations, not the fault of the TV. I have not used the HDMI hookup yet or surround-sound option. I have a separate surround-sound running out of my DVD-VCR recorder.</p>
<p>The LG media box has 3 HDMI connections in the back, 1 in the front and there is 1 on the TV for a total of 5 HDMI ports. There are also component, DVI and composite hookups as well as optical digital audio out.</p>
<p>The LG has HDTV; ISR; AV; Invisible Speakers: Trumotion: Smart Energy Savings+; Dolby; SRS; Clear Voice II: HDMI; Full HD 1080p; Wireless; Intelligent Sensor and DIVX.</p>
<p>An array of red leds on the bottom right indicates standby and when turned on, cycles like a Battlestar Galatica Cyclon and turns white. You have the option of turning this off. Controls on the TV are on the right side. The remote has a 5 sec. backlight to see in the dark. The front of the master box has USB and HDMI in, ports.</p>
<p>The TV also comes with automatic or manual time clock and sleep timer. Through the remote, you can access a simple manual and quick menu to make picture adjustments. Pressing the info on the remote will give you program info if broadcast by your cable/satellite company. It also has key lock; parental controls and channel locks.</p>
<p>You can view JPG files, play MP3 and movie files as well as Simplink equipped. There is a &#8220;Picture Wizard&#8221; where you can &#8220;tune&#8221; your TV to examples, as you desire and adjusts black level, white, color tint, horizontal and vertical sharpness and backlight. You also have manual, advanced and 2 expert settings that you can set according to what you are watching. The expert settings also go farther than my technical ability at this time and I haven&#8217;t messed with all the color adjustment in the expert setting. There are directions for optimal placement of the media box and I have mine just in front and under the right side of the TV. I found out after moving the box around that the front controls are &#8220;touch-sensitive&#8221; for all the ports on the box. I have not used the HDMI or blue-ray, but according to the other reviews, the picture is outstanding. That is probably the best way to appreciate the money you spent on this TV, since TV broadcasting is still not the best of worlds. (I have been getting &#8220;tileing&#8221; all year and have had the cable co. out numerous times and they are coming again Sunday to try to fix the tileing. I&#8217;m ready to go back to Dish or Direct TV.)<br />
The only Cons I can find is that when you use the Intelligent Sensor with one light on in the room, the screen is too dim for my liking, but it saves 75% energy by dropping the brightness and backlight. When I turn the overhead light on, it adjusts accordingly and gets brighter. The other con is the email for registration is not what is printed on the card. It is [...] &#8220;Secure&#8221; was left off the card or had been changed to a new email.</p>
<p>Contacting LG customer service by phone was answered quickly. I inquired why I am not receiving picture info. It seems it is the cable&#8217;s problem not the TV. I hooked another TV with picture info features up to cable and didn&#8217;t get any info either. At least I received immediate info from LG customer service, who also confirmed that my email registration had been confirmed.</p>
<p>I saw a 55 in. Vizio at Walmart this week for $1350. They are reputed to give you a lot of bang for the buck, but the old saying still is, &#8220;You get what you pay for&#8221; and I am happy with what I got. Anyone interested in LG should go to [...]</p>

<p>LG does&#8217;nt get enough praise.</p>
<p>Just bought this TV for the sake of it being an IPS panel and for its apparent adjustability (and also 1080p). Plus this tv is so easy to calibrate; the &#8216;picture wizard&#8217; is extremely helpful.</p>
<p>The amount of menu options is jaw-dropping, as is the style of the set. The LH40 model looks neat with the plastic square along the bottom of the panel, but I like the more minimalist look of the LH30, and I do not like the 120hz or the $100 price jump of the LH40.</p>
<p>I made a comparison to my sony 32M4000 (which I have now given to my father) and there are some interesting differences (many are polar opposites):</p>
<p>-The sound is far superior on the LG.</p>
<p>-Black levels are very close, sony&#8217;s is a bit deeper and maintains black colors better at angles.</p>
<p>-The whiteness of whites is slightly better on the sony, but colors and mid tones definitely have more of a &#8216;punchy&#8217; factor on the LG.</p>
<p>-Color is amazing; rich and saturated; best ive seen on any LCD, period.</p>
<p>-Color does not wash out at all from different angles, only very dark colors and black tend to become discolored (blue or red depending on the angle).</p>
<p>-Of course there are far, far fewer picture options on the sony.</p>
<p>-My sony has a ghosting problem with dark colors, not so on the LG; motion blur and lag is also reduced too.</p>
<p>-OTA HD channels look decent enough, not as sharp as the sony, but the better color makes up for it imo.</p>
<p>What was the main factor that made me get this LG?..its S-IPS panel.</p>
<p>Samsung is an excellent maker of lcds, but I steered clear of them this time, as buying a tv from them is like playing the lottery. They use 3 different panels with differing levels of color and contrast quality; you are not essentially getting what you pay for:</p>
<p>You may get Samsung&#8217;s own S-PVA panel, the best quality (if you&#8217;re lucky).</p>
<p>An A-MVA panel from Taiwan&#8217;s AUO (a notch worse than S-PVA).</p>
<p>Chinese company Chi Mei&#8217;s S-MVA panel (worst of the three).</p>
<p>Panasonics IPS Alpha panels are decent, but on some panels dark colors appear far too blue from different angles.</p>
<p>That narrows it down to LG&#8217;s S-IPS panel; its color saturation, vividness, and response time are worth the slight sacrifice in contrast and black depth (at least in my opinion).</p>
<p>This tv is not perfect, however; I spotted 3 dead pixels right out of the box (2 bright, 1 dark), right around the middle of the screen. They are practically invisible without being a foot from the screen and looking hard for them, however.</p>
<p>Viewing angles demonstrate some darkening of the picture, but its not too bothersome (swivel stand helps).</p>
<p>No other flaws I can think of at the moment, I recommend this tv!</p>
<p>My calibration settings use color adjustments from cnet.com along with some of my own tweaks, try them out!</p>
