The TV is an awesome product for the price. The picture quality is amazing and it is very simple to set up and use. The only thing I dont like is that the sound is kind of weak. I have to have the volume on a high level. Overall a great TV.
What's great about it: The TV is an awesome deal.
What's not so great: Sound is weak.

This product was an absolute buyers steal. The value of this product met the price and more. When I first turned on this television the sound blew me away. I felt like I had surround sound as if I were actually at the Football game. This product is a definite consumer's steal. Highly recommended to any sports or action movie fan. All in all recommended to anyone.
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Doesn't have the split screen feature

This Television replaced a Toshiba. The Toshiba`s panel went out only after a few months and waited 2 more to get it fixed. They finally replaced it with this LG television and this one works great. It did have a great HD picture until I lost Fios and had to switch to regular cable. The Blue-Ray player has an awesome picture. So If I had to I would buy this Television again.
What's great about it: It actully works
What's not so great: None

My husband and I purchased this TV a few weeks ago. We've had a 42" plasma for about 4 years and have dealt with the reflection from our windows the entire time. We got this home, took it out of the box and had it up and running in minutes. The picture quality is amazing compared to the plasma and we no longer have to deal with the reflection issue! I would definitely recommend purchasing this LCD if you are considering one. The LG brand is a great value for the money!
What's great about it: Easy to set up, amazing price

My husband and I chose this TV after researching brands and sets for over 5 months. Our neighbor has a 52" Sony and we were leaning in that direction until we saw this one on sale. Our livingroom has a lot of outside light coming in and the glare on our 36" tube TV was so severe that you couldn't see the screen at all until the sun set! My husband set this flat screen TV up on his own (We used a stand, not the wall mount) in just a few minutes and right out of the box the picture was awesome!! Some people had warned us that the sound on the HD TV's wasn't the best, that with the wrong TV you end up with fuzziness, however, with this one we watched the race and football this weekend and the sound was perfect. We have a few surround sound speakers set up and see no reason to install additional. It has the hookup for the computer as well as a memory card which is great for me, as I take alot of pictures. This set was WELL worth the money. I don't know how we survived this long without HD. The only negative (if it's even a negative) is that there is a 3-5 second delay when you cut it on.
What's great about it: Awesome picture!!
What's not so great: Haven't found anything yet.

This is a very fantastic television! It's picture is pristine, the price was great (especially for a good brand name like LG), and it really is beautifully designed. I love the fact that it does have multiple input options unlike some of the cheaper models out there.
If you get this TV, I would recommend also getting a surround sound system if you have a large room because the sound from the TV itself is kind of quiet.
Also, if you have Dish Network and want to program the Dish remote to work with the TV-- good luck. Although you will be able to change the volume and power the TV on/off, you will not be able to use the mute function or the select function with the remote.
All in all, just a great TV for a great price!
What's great about it: Fantastic picture, price, sleek design, a LOT of inputs
What's not so great: Kind of quiet, no remote code with Dish Network
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this LCD afer doing my homework online for many weeks. It went on sale and I got this one for less than $1800 and it would have been perfect if it worked properly.
Here's my issue:
I hooked up the TV to my dish and was getting a green shadowing effect which really took away from the picture. I then tried it with an HDMI connection and I got the same picture. The picture was somewhat better with HD feeds and Transformers looked awesome, however, even with the HD feed I still got the green shadowing effect. I have a friend who fixes TV's and he had never heard of this. When Best Buy came back for my return, they mentioned they had heard of this but it was a "rare" situation.
Other than that the TV would have been absolutely great I believe. I wouldn't let me green shadowing make up your mind as I think it was just a glitch in the one I had. If you are looking at this model, I believe you will get a good TV.
What's great about it: Size is great; picture was great
What's not so great: Picture was also messed up
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought it with confidence because i have done many researches about buying 52" LCD TV. After comparing this TV with many outstanding brands known best for LCD such as Samsung, this TV was the best value for my budget. I am fully satisfied with my final decision now. What I especially liked about this TV was the invisible sound system which is prepared by Mark Revinson who is the best for sound setting. Buy it and enjoy as much as I do
What's great about it: best color & hdmi supported
What's not so great: none

This tv is great, I went to the local bb and bought it after I looked at it. They gave me 500 off so I got the 5yr warranty for 500.
Wish there was picture in picture feature. Where did that go to over the years?

I have had this tv for 5 weeks and I love it. The picture is great and the sound from the tv is so good that I only use my sound system when watching movies. The Geek Squad just came out and did the calibration on it, wow what a difference it has made in the picture and sound. They also adjusted my cable box and sound system to get the best out of my tv viewing. BUY IT

Just a perfect move into HD world for us after 52" projection TV. Outstanding picture quality, great remote picture width and zoom options and it hooked up to our existing Sony surround sound with no problem. We are so pleased with it and the Busch stand we purchased at the same time.
What's great about it: picture quality, 2 HDMI ports, styling, surround ready

The TV is OK less how it plays SD signals. There is no ghosting or pixelation and the picture is very sharp as long as you have an HD source. I'm using direct TV and HDMI cable BUT the picture is very poor when you just have a standard definition digital picture. My older analog TV's have a vastly superior picture for SD than this set. Becareful with this one-LG50's series. I would exchange it, except I've had this set for 6 weeks now and I think its past Best Buys return policy.
What's great about it: lower power usage, no pixelation, no ghosting, high contrast
What's not so great: SD picture capabilities are VERY poor
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
