What's great about it: Picture Quality, Picture customization, Price
What's not so great: Not a lot of features or customizations outside of picture quality.
I did a lot of research before I decided to buy a TV. I saw that the main complaints with this TV was the lip sync problem and images ghosting/blurring on certain channels or movies. I went ahead and decided on this tv for the quality of tv for the price.
I have had NO issues with the lip sync problem. At first I did see problems with the picture quality with images ghosting. It was very annoying and I almost returned the tv. I did some research and found a picture setting on cnet's website and it fixed the problem. The picture looks GREAT now.

Great picture with HD programs. The sound is not as bad as other people make it appear. The sound is as good as can be expected from integrated speakers. Having a/v, component video, and HDMI inputs is a nice feature.
The only downside is that it doesn't have a picture-in-picture feature.

What's great about it: Excellent color & picture quality with no glare glass
What's not so great: Nothing
We bought this TV to replace an older LG that required a $200 replacement
buld every 2 years. It had a fantastic picture but we got tired of paying
for the buld. We planned on purchasing a Samsung when we went to Best Buy but none of the Samsung had non glare glass. We have windows
across the whole wall in the great room and had to have nonglare glass. We decided to go with the LG and LOVE it. It has a great picture, color and clarity. We have no complaints and would recommended it highly.

What's great about it: Plenty of connections, beautiful picture
What's not so great: Tinny sound
I have had this TV for a month now and I am amazed at how beautiful the picture is. I was originally looking at the Samsung 6 series LED, until I saw this next to it in the store. The backlit LED is so much nicer than the edgelit, and the Samsung expected you to connect everything via HDMI. The LG had a sharper picture and plenty of connections for HDMI, component, and composite. It is also an inch bigger, and they were both on sale for the same price. It was very easy to setup out of the box, and HD and Xbox are both crystal clear.
Alot of people complain about the sound, but you cannot expect much out of speakers this size. They do give off a nice surround feel, and they sound pleasant, they just dont have much in the way of low end. I have mine hooked up through digital optical line to a Kenwood receiver, and the entire setup is perfect.

What's great about it: High def and the ability to use it for the PC
What's not so great: DVI connect would be a nice touch
I was looking for a TV that would double as a computer monitor as real estate in the house is tight. This monitor has multiple connections for cable, multiple game consoles and the PC. This is the best picture I have ever seen on my PC - I will never go back to a "standard" computer monitor.

What's great about it: good price for LED, general picture quality in HD
What's not so great: watching high-speed sports, SD channels
This was my first big-screen TV, replacing a 27-inch HD CRT. Hockey is my favorite sport, and it was almost unwatchable because of blur (I tried all kinds of settings; 240 tru-motion didn't help). It was particularly disappointing since this model was ranked so highly by CR and cNet. I returned it and got a plasma for half the price. Much happier with plasma.

What's great about it: I pulled this tv out of the box, hooked it up and haven't touched it since. Outstanding picture with no adjustment.
What's not so great: No analog out to run through my existing stereo system.
This tv is excellent and has an outstanding picture. I was prepared for a "not so great sound quality" but was plesently supprised to find the sound was very good. It is inside an entertainment center and maybe that helps the sound. I had to run the sound out of my dish box to get sound to the stereo system and there is a short delay between the tv sound and external speakers. No problem, just turn down the tv sound. Minor problem. Got this tv just in time for the olympics really enjoyed the beautiful picture. I have owned it about a month and have had not problems what so ever.

Before purchasing this LED-LCD TV, I looked at Samsung and Vizio line. I am totally satisfied with my purchase. Paying $1499.00, the price was excellent. With the Full back lighted LED panel, compared to edge lit like the Samsung and Vizio, the graphics are off the hook. Watching TV as well as Blu-Ray disks gives you the feeling that you are actually there. Video games bring on a new meaning of "LIFELIKE".

What's great about it: Bright vivid clear color
What's not so great: Sound so-so
I've had mine for 6 months now and love it. The picture is out of this world. The sound is ok, but it's not a sound system. I just wanted to report that over the past six months I've had no problems except the voice being out of sink (using HDMI cable). Side angle viewing no problem. I have been surprised the price hasn't come down much. Got mine for $1299.

What's great about it: Excellent picture, great sound, and many great options.
What's not so great: There isn't one thing that I can find wrong with this TV.
This is not the TV that I set out to purchase. I had originally purchased a 47LH55, and was told that there would be a period I would have to wait for it to arrive and be delivered. I was told the wait was going to be 21 days. For a product that nice I was willing to wait. I was waiting because there were no units at the warehouse, and Best Buy was waiting for LG to make/ship some more. Two days before it was slated to arrive in the store I got a feather up my rear and called customer service to see where it was. I was placed on a very long wait, and then informed that I needed to go to my local store and pick a different TV. I went, and I was less than thrilled about it. I told them what I had been told they surprised me by automatically upgrading me to this model and they told me I didn't have to pay the difference. The difference was substantial. They really impressed me by doing the right thing without having to be told to do so. They will be the only store that I will but technology from for the rest of my days.

What's great about it: Easy Setup, A ton of connections, Cool Features
What's not so great: I'll let you know if I find something.
This is a great TV! It's my first flat screen/ HDTV. I upgraded from a 32" tube and I'm very impressed. I was holding out to get the best model and I think this is it.
It has all of the connections I was looking for: HDMI, PC, Component, USB. I wasn't expecting it, but I was really glad it can play DivX movies, too. And it has a lot of cool features I wasn't looking for but were cool to have.
I can't tell much difference in the TruMotion, ClearVoice, and Auto Volume special settings. That's why I only rated the audio at 4 stars instead of 5. But then, I don't have anything to compare it with since I stopped using my old 32".
Overall, I think this is a superb TV and I don't think anyone will regret buying it. At least, I didn't.

What's great about it: Terrific picture and decent sound make this a top choice! LED backlight creates plasma-like contrast levels!
What's not so great: It lacks features that other TV's have
Okay, here's the deal. I've been researching for almost a year regarding TV's (I know, how pathetic, right?) and the various technologies behind them. Now that standards have been adopted like 1080p and HDMI, it's easier to narrow things down. After doing a lot of review between Plasma and LCD, I decided to go down the route of LCD. Given that the biggest differences between the two technologies is black levels, contrast, glare and motion blur, I decided to look at an LED-type LCD to give me more of a Plasma-like picture. My room isn't very dark and I play a LOT of games.
Unfortunately any back lit LED TV on the market is pricy! After doing the research, I found an excellent CNET article in which they rated this LG as high as the Samsung B8500! Now that's impressive and the price is about half of what you'd pay for the Samsung. This LG is also featured in Best Buy's Magnolia area. Just for contrast, I went to a regular Magnolia store in the Bay Area and it was there too! I went for it and boy am I happy!
The black levels are BLACK, the white is bright and crisp and there is very little blooming that goes on (blooming is what you'll typically get on an LED back lit display). The biggest qualm of this set, for most, will be the lack of internet connectivity and interactive features. Let me say, I was not deterred at all. If you have a PS3 or XBOX 360 or even a TiVo, you are not missing A THING!
So buy this TV and relish the though that you picked it up for only 1500 bucks and enjoy the picture quality! The THX settings are nice (although they need some adjusting for your room) and the amount of inputs this TV has is great! The sound system is pretty good given what it is, but hook it to your home theater system. Have fun with your new TV!

What's great about it: Beautiful picture, Great price, Great overall TV
What's not so great: Leans to the right with base on, Needs to be mounted. TRU MOTION 240 HZ causes juttering. Best kept in 120 HZ settings.
After lots of shopping around, this was my choice. It was definitely the right choice. I love this TV. At $1499 nothing else comes close in overall value. Didn't take me long to calibrate the picture to look amazing. PS3 games are spectacular, blu-rays are awesome, and even standard def cable looks great. The colors seem to be very true thanks to the LED backlighting. It does have some minor flaws which is probably the reason for the lower price. It leans to the right when the base is used because of a weight difference internally. This is a common problem with this TV but is fine when mounted on a wall or a stand. Also, the TRU MOTION 240hz causes juttering on the edges of objects. Best when just the 120hz setting is used, which is just fine. The sound isn't the greatest, but with a TV like this why wouldn't you have a home theater system?
I'll gladly take the few downfalls this TV has in exchange for the gorgeous picture and awesome price. I would definitely recommend this TV to everyone who isn't looking to spend a fortune on a TV and wants a great viewing experience.

What's great about it: Great color, awesome sound
What's not so great: Not very many additional features
Overall the TV is great, the picture is great, you get occasional blur with the trumotion but not enough to turn you off of the tv considering most 120hz tv's do the same and this tv is 240hz so you should expecting a little of it. Blur-ray looks outstanding on the tv. I do have a surround sound system (5.1) and the sound is great with it, but it also has great sound and clarity from the TV's own speakers. The one down side is the features, most of the newer TV's (especially sony bravia, samsung) offer a way to access internet TV (youtube etc.) or weather and news updates. This TV does not have any of those features. Overall though I would recommend this TV to anyone. Sports, action movies and HD channels all look great on it.

What's great about it: The colors, The look of the TV, Most features...
What's not so great: The picture when TruMotion 240Hz is turned on.
Well first off. Its a nice TV. The colors amazed me alot. I like most of the custom features it lets you do to make the picture look how you want it. Set up was simple. There is one thing that has been bugging me though, and that is the TruMotion setting. When its turned on Low or High. It has this wierd blurriness around fast moving objects. Like People and other things. I thought it might be just my cable. So I Decided to get a Blu-ray player to see if it was. Yes, it was alot better. But I still got a little blurriness on a few objects moving fast. I might of got a defective TV. Not sure. So I'm going to exchange it for another. To see if i did. Also it says its a LED TV, but i don't really notice. But I did at the Best Buys display model.... Strange. Otherwise, I love this TV. And I'm a big time LG fan. ;)
