BEST TV IN THE HOUSE

By: GMS1
Date: Thursday, January 12, 2012

We have 6 TVs and by far this is the best one we have . The picture is absolutely clear with great depth. It's in the Kitchen - Great Room and we can enjoy it from several angles and the Internet connectivity allows us to use it for a lot more than just TV watching "Typing" with the remote is not all that easy, but it's a minor annoyance

LOVE IT WISH I HAD GOTTEN IT SOONER

By: bamababy57
Date: Sunday, January 08, 2012

love the picture quality, I have a recessed area in out wall that itis set in, therefore the sound is muffled and echoes, I leave it turned down and use only the sound bar which I installed about the custom recess and it is like a theater in my living room. we have a very large room and the ceiling is tapered like a theater to a max of 20 feet high. I would say the only way to improve it would be to have gotten a larger one, but unless you sit farther away it would not help to have it bigger. We love football on it and the dramas are super. get one. LG rocks.

GREAT TV

By: RickMed
Date: Monday, January 16, 2012

Setting it up was a breeze. Connecting to internet was also. It has a wired connection and a wireless built in. The picture is great. I have it hooked to my Uverse control box but also have checked it with the on air transmissions and love the quality. I'm going to contact Uverse, though. The HD isn't near the quality of the broadcast stations. Watching the football games are so much better than my 1080i tv. Brilliant colors though the colors were a little off but I googled it and found a hit where someone had already configured theirs and downloaded their settings. That really helped get a better picture. Sure saved me a lot of time. I find the extra remote (wand) for manipulating the menus very awkward to use. It didn't seem to respond easily to my movements. Navigating the menus was a little tedious. I don't like having to go back to the beginning of the main menu for each change. I didn't have a problem with the HDMI ports being on the side as some have posted. Matter of taste I guess. Overall I am very satisfied with this tv.
