Gaz Rendar (Chicago, IL USA): I'll start with the physical specifications of the television first. Assembly of the stand is pretty typical for LCD sets, and I had no problem attaching the 8 screws required to get the TV in an upright position by myself. I would have preferred a base with a standard X pattern, but the two "arms coming out to hug you" stand is stable enough and doesn't take up a huge footprint. It's somewhat of a bummer, but the stand lacks a tilt/rotation capability. There are 4 HDMI inputs on the side of the TV, a headphone output, an optical out, USB inputs, and some 1/8" jacks that allow you to plug in composite and component in cables via the supplied adapters. There is an additional 1/8" jack for the IR blaster adapter (also supplied--it's a Y-adapter with two IR blasters connected to the same jack).
P. Ostrowski (brighton, ma United States): Picked up this TV last week, and really starting to love it. Takes a bit to get used to the google TV, lots of options, but its pretty impressive. I like the remote, When you're working with apps has a wii like function to move the cursor around the screen by moving the remote(you can also use directional buttons) has a good keyboard on back. Loving the PIP feature where I can be in a google TV app but still watch TV. I "cut" the cord (well have basic cable now) and Google chrome (web browser) works great and I can watch allot of videos (including flash based) like HGTV (wife) and the Daily show. Also have amazon prime, so I can stream allot of shows for free (has netflix too, but no Hulu on any google tv)
Comes with 2 IR blasters to control your cable box (if you have one, has built in OTA tuner) and AV equipment.
TV McGuirk "TVM" (St. Louis, Mo) : First, I am not going to review the Google TV feature. I only bought this TV because it was on sale and was not persuaded by the Google TV feature. If you have a Roku 3 and PS3 like I do, the Google TV feature is "meh." For me, it was nice to mess around with for 5 minutes out of the box but afterwards I just went back to my Roku 3 because everything is already registered with my Roku and I would rather use that. But some people like the Google TV feature, so it would be unfair to them to say it is no good when I really could care less about it and was biased from the beginning. If you like little extras that Google TV puts with your cable/satellite then by all means go for it, personally, I wouldn't pay extra for them, but I didn't anyways.

LG Electronics 50LA6200 50-Inch Cinema 3D Deal
GatorJ (Florida): I purchased this TV to replace a 42" LG in my master bedroom (which replaced a 40" Sony XBR6). (FWIW, both of those TVs were purchased from Amazon. I have purchased six 40-47" TVs from Amazon and have never had any shipping problems or damage.) I originally started with the 42" version of this TV which was returned to Amazon due to some screen uniformity issues (more later). Due to the LA6200's thin bezel, the 47" worked in my space. I've had it for 4 weeks and I'm quite pleased with it overall. If I could give half stars, I would award it 4.5. I can't and on balance I thought it was more fair to give it 5 than 4.
Hans J. Storoy "Hans" (Cranston, RI, USA): I wasn't in the market for a new TV until the neighboring row home suffered a large fire, causing extreme smoke damage to our apartment. Thankfully our apartment is livable again, but we were forced to throw out and replace lots of items, especially electronics. My previous TV was a 42" LG LCD, which I had purchased about two years ago. I had used it in collaboration with an LG Smart BluRay player and a regular old antenna to accommodate my cable / dish free lifestyle. When it was time to replace the old smoke damaged goods, I knew what brand I wanted to go with.
Mathieu J. Champagne (Philadelphia, PA): My setup is insanely simple. The TV is hooked to power, and I have a very small antenna hooked into the TV and hidden. With this setup, I am able to view almost everything I need. I connect over wifi to my iMac upstairs and stream downloaded content, stream Netflix, and watch broadcast channels. I also have an HDMI to MiniDisplayport cable just in case I need to hook my laptop up. Setting the TV up was a breeze, although it would have been easier with the Magic Remote (which, as mentioned by other reviewers, did not come with this TV). If you have an iPhone or apple device, you can download the LG TV Remote app to control the TV in a similar fashion. I find this much easier for signing into things since it has a keyboard and behaves like a mouse pointer.

LG Electronics 47LN5400 47-Inch 1080p Deal
Meng Qi: 120Hz can't be turned off. This can make movies seem too real, what is known as the soap opera effect. It bothers most people and with most 120Hz TVs this can be turned off. With this TV it can not. LG could release a firmware that has the option to turn this off, but don't bet on it. This effect is not negative in most TV shows (except dramas), sports and games.
Poor for dark rooms. I think this is due to the 120Hz and strong contrast. Again I think this is just for things that are affected by the soap opera effect. It becomes worse in the dark.
ArmyDoc : Was looking to replace a cheaper brand 55" wall mounted TV that took FOREVER to go from one channel to another and whose colorations were barely relative to the realistic colors of the objects on the screen. Dumped that old one on an unsuspecting buyer and shopped for a week online, comparing prices and reviews, ending up ordering this LG. I was familiar with the brand and with the brand's reputation in other appliances, so figured I couldn't make too big a mistake buying this one Besides the price was UNBELIEVABLE on Amazon and included free shipping and no sales tax. Finally, my credit card company was offering a special 5% bonus on Amazon purchases for the month. This deal was made in heaven (so to speak).
Andrew (AZ): The TV picture is good, but everything else stinks. The software/firmware/UI/menus are not very good - they are slow and not intuitive. It is not like my last LG TV - it must be quite a bit older. It's worth spending a little extra for a newer model. None of the audio out ports work for me, and the USB input only supports photo and music (no video). Also, the power saving setting resets every time you turn off the TV, so you will get picture dimming unless you remember to turn that off every single time you turn on the TV. I am very unhappy with this TV and will be returning it. For this much money, the TV should work better.

LG Electronics 50LN5400 50-Inch 1080p Deal
George Gold : I like the TV; it arrived next day and is really light and easy to carry.
I have not been able to access Smart Share in the menu (it doesn't seem to exist anywhere in the options or on the remote). The user manual says the TV has this "Smart Share" thing but doesn't say how to access it.We also wanted to try and plug in some devices, and the USB inputs don't seem to work anything (likely a software issue) and there's only one HDMI input. I still haven't figured out why I can't plug in my woofer from my computer system (it just won't make any noise when it's plugged in and on).
William Judson Jr. (usa): Just got this last week in the 47 in size to replace an LG 42 720p plasma that was around 6-7 years old. It's pretty good so far but there are few things that I dislike. It has a great picture quality in HD, but the picture looks worse than the 720p plasma when it is just standard definition. The older plasmas from LG had a very sturdy stand but this new one looks like a bobble head when you touch it a little bit. Another thing that I'm not quite used to is the screen size looks smaller than the older plasmas because the older ones had speakers on the side which made it appear larger (even though it is not). Another issue with the new TV is that is does not have inputs for your computer to make it a large monitor.
Andrew (AZ): I picked up this tv after my 50in plasma got killed by lightning strikes. I saw this one at my local Walmart for 798 which since its msrp was 1100, this seemed like a great deal. Decided to check out the tv on amazon and saw the price was only 599 with free prime shipping and no sales tax. I also got the lg protection plan for only 69 dollars that covers it for four years. Overall for the price, you cannot go wrong. 670 dollars for a 50in led with four years of protection. The picture out of the box is not great but was able to tweak so far to my living until I get my WOW calibration disc. The picture so far is great and the audio is the surprising part of this. The audio is great for a tv speaker set.

LG Electronics 55LN5700 55-Inch 1080p 120Hz Deal
Gorn (San Diego, CA USA): The plasma's are amazing at getting that true black I love it. However when looking at these two Televisions side by side, the Plasma looked a little greyed out compared to this.
It really comes down of course to what do you like. What are your needs and what benefit does the T.V. your buying have to meet those. And of course does it look great watching it. This television is AMAZING and priced great. For those reviews of those who have had problems I'm sorry. As consumers we are all rolling the dice and it's unfortunate to me. My opinion is every store should honor a two year or one year return policy no questions asked.

Paul R. Wisgerhof (Fairfax, VA USA): For all of you who are upset that LG does not yet support Amazon apps, you can always just connect a tablet to an HDMI port on your TV and go from there. You will be able to access all of your stuff on Prime and show it on the TV. I do it all the time with an older Samsung product and it works just fine. I am using an Android tablet at the moment.

Mathieu J. Champagne (Philadelphia, PA): I followed come color setup techniques from a similar TV on CNET.com, and after doing so the picture looks amazing. I'm sure the casual person won't have any issue with the standard presets, but being a designer by profession I appreciate a correctly calibrated monitor. The 3D seems great so far, although I can't seem to dial it in 100%...always gives me a slight headache. The TV itself is decent to look at, easy to put together, and fits the aesthetics of my modern style.

LG Electronics 50PN6500 50-Inch 1080p 600Hz Deal
G. Young "Kindle" (Cape Cod, MA) : The only minor problem I have with this TV is that it has a glossy finish and not a matted finish. This is something I missed while searching for a TV, so I'm not taking points off of the review. Sadly, it's in a very sunny room, with lots of windows, so during the day, there's quite a bit of glare and reflection from the windows. The black levels also wash out a bit on really bright days. Still, in the evening and at night, or if you are planning to place this in a dark room, this TV is awesome, especially for the price!
Todd (Sugar Land, TX, United States): I'm not a TV nerd. I own a variety of flat-panel TV's in both plasma and LCD. Honestly, they all look good to me. This LG is no different. I was looking for a 50" TV that was realtively slim at an affordable price. This fits what I am looking for. The TV is thinner than I expected (which is good...I thought for $599 I'd get an older, thicker version). The standard picture setting is on 'Eco' mode so the picture looks a little dull until you adjust it (I put mine on 'sport' and the picture looks great). Item shipped undamaged from Amazon so no issues there.
Richard E Day: This item is replacing our 6 year old Phillips Ambiant Light 42" plasma that we thought had died. At first we were thinking there was a mistake in the size of the LG tv. It seemed smaller that the Phillips. It was an illusion of course. The case of the LG is much smaller than what we were used to. After mucking around with the different setting, we found that we really like the new picture. The definition of the picture is good. The ease of set up was really good. Any issues that I have found so far are all from my lack of looking harder at the specs and my lack of forward thinking. Amazon as always does what they say they will do. Shopping with Amazon is always a pleasure.
