LG Electronics 47GA6400 47-Inch Cinema 3D 1080p Deal

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.

Gale H Fengel: 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.

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.

Electronics 84LM9600 84-Inch Cinema 3D 4K Ultra HD 240Hz Deal

Marvin L. Ostermiller (AURORA, CO USA): Set up- the magic remote works great. Think of it as a mouse that you can use to get through the initial set up and on-going use. The only issue I had with set up was getting my WiFi to work. It took me 5-6 tries before it recognized my network. Adding components is a simple process. I upgraded my components (Samsung BD-F7500 DVD player, Denon AVR-X2000 receiver, and Mediabridge cables. The DVD player and receiver are capable of 4K and 3D throughput and upscaling. The only other issue, my Comcast cable box didn't like the 4k cable- video quality was great but sound quality was downgraded.

Jedi Knight "Jedi Knight 1975" (USA): Blu-ray (regular, 4-k mastered, and 3D) viewing is exceptional. People have used terms such as lush, brilliant, astonishing, and 3D qualities (when not it 3D). I would agree. I have never seen a tv or a movie theater this good. My family agrees. There is no doubt the upscaling makes a big difference. I was watching on a Samsung 61 Inch LED which I thought was excellent before. No comparison. Compare the 4k with any non4k on upscaled media- the 4k tv will blow it away. I played around with the color adjustment and found the Vivid to my way of liking. Other than the crystal clear picture, the color range has more shades and is more brilliant than any tv I have seen. One reviewer, made the comment that off angle viewing led to considerable drop off. I haven't notice much.

PAULO JORGE C PEREIRA JR: 3D viewing is a huge bonus. I have never been a fan and would never have bought a 3D tv. This tv will blow you away. It comes with six pair of passive glasses. You can buy more them for $3 each or less. The picture quality is cleary 1080P quality at a minimum. The 3D effects are amazing. I viewed 6-8 top 3D movies (Avatar, Jurassic Park, Titanic, MegaMind, and others). The viewing is exceptional. I have seen a number of 3D movies at the theater and almost always go away dissapointed. Not so with the LG. The 3D effects are smooth, precise and "in your face." The passive glasses are a big plus compared to the active glasses. Cheap, lightweight, and easier on the eyes. The active glasses shutter on and off real fast. Your eyes can't see them but I think your brain senses something is not right. I know active glasses fatigue my eyes.

LG 55LS4500 55" 1080p 120Hz Edge Deal

Robert A. Wilber (Elyria, Ohio): Just purchased and wall mounted the TV. Chose it over a Samsung, simply because of the price vs options. Samsung's was more expensive, and had the same specs.
Setup is a breeze, and the picture is sharp. The built in speakers aren't fantastic, but I'm running it through my surround sound anyways.
No complaints at all about my purchase, and I would highly recommend this to anyone not wanting to shell out $1400 on a TV -> Just get this and a Roku for the same effects as a Smart TV.

 Venkateswara Jujjuri: This is a great value purchase, but, as others stated, there is no such thing as "True Motion" 120HZ rate (for sports fans only, of course). No matter what the LG reps and the cardboard box state. I have a Samsung 46 LCD, 3 years old, and the 120HZ refresh rate is absolutely obvious and is a part of the options for the user to select. Otherwise the LG TV value is more than fine for any general viewing. Just not so much for a true fan of sports - luckily not me. :)

WarmWeatherGuy: The manual doesn't tell you much. For example, it doesn't tell you how to add channels to your "favorite" list. I just now noticed that it turns itself on when I turn on the blu-ray. The manual didn't warn me about that. I kept turning on the blu-ray and then turning on the TV but I was actually turning the TV off right after it had been turned on by the blu-ray. I don't know if the TV turns on when a video signal appears or if the IR signal to turn on the blu-ray is turning on the TV. I am still learning. It would be nice if the manual would tell me. The manual only tells you how to screw on the base or how to fasten the TV to the wall.

LG Electronics 50LN5700 50-Inch 1080p Deal

James K (Rockville, MD) : I connected a basic 4-dipole un-amplified antenna (AntennasDirect DB4, no longer available for sale) that I had lying around just to make sure the tuner works. It's simply stuck in a window, pointed at a 90 degree angle away from all of the area broadcast towers and looking directly at a tree with full foliage outside the window. Even under such adverse conditions the HDTV gets quite a few stations, so if given a better antenna location I think the tuner would perform quite well.

 L. Knights (Silicon Valley) : This tv is replacing my Westinghouse 40" LCD HDTV, and it is definitely much nicer. The picture quality is nicer (although it required some adjustment) the sound is better (although an external surround sound would be even better) and the quality of the unit, especially the sturdy base is much better. The remote is even better, you need to have good aim but I have used it from 30 feet away, where the Westinghouse was iffy even at ten feet.

Cathy Stucker "IdeaLady.com" (Sugar Land, TX USA) : The picture is sharp and clear, and the Picture Wizard is a user-friendly way to adjust the picture for your viewing environment. If you are not happy with the picture quality, step through the Picture Wizard and it will show you how to improve it. I connected this television to both HD and SD sources. Although the SD picture is, of course, no where near the HD in quality, the TV gives a very good image even in SD. (Note: Be sure to set your input resolution for the best viewing. I do not like a stretched or cropped picture, so I set the screen resolution based on whether the image was SD or HD.)

LG Electronics 60LA8600 60-Inch Cinema Screen 3D 1080p 240Hz Deal

MGB04 (Central Illinois): Through reviews from Cnet and Amazon, we had a fairly short list. On this: Samsung 2012 ES8000, Samsung 2013 F8000, LG 2012 LM8600, LG 2013 LA8600, and the Sony 2012 HX850. LCD was a requirement, rather than plasma, as this television sits in a room with a high amount of light. The 4K televisions looked great in-store, but the price is too high for us to justify at this time. If you've got the budget, I'd certainly recommend looking at them as well. 240hz refresh was also required as we watch a great deal of F1, Indy, and Nascar racing and wanted to ensure that there was limited blur.

Don T. Gaspar (Redwood City, CA): We have this set mounted on a cabinet (with future intent to mount on the wall), hooked to a 2012 Yamaha Aventage 720 receiver. Speakers are Polk Floor RTi-A5 and an older Csi A6 center channel with Polk powered sub. We are on Comcast Cable and Internet. I have HDMI run through the receiver and hard-wired ethernet running directly from the router. The set is also on a CyberPower battery backup. I also have the Tivo, Roku, and Apple Tv set up through the receiver. TV is on a cabinet just above eye level, and primary viewing area is about 11' back.

Ohio Transplant "Proud Buckeye" (Atlanta, GA USA): In-store, we compared this television side-by-side with the Samsung F8000. Both sets were beautiful. When placed at the factory default "standard" video setting, the Samsung was visibly brighter than the LG. However, the LG seemed to be "warmer" and had a better picture / color quality. This was especially evident to us when looking at grass in a golf show. The LG of course can be brightened to mimic the Samsung, but at first glance, the Samsung was brighter. Both sets have crisp, clear images and I have not doubt that either is an excellent choice.

LG Electronics 39LN5700 39-Inch 1080p 60Hz Deal

L. Watson "mom" (Georgia): Ok so buying a T.V. can be maddening. There are a lot of choices out there. I have looked at massive reviews both professional and customer. I went into the store to buy the new Panasonic 55 St60. Cnet gave this Panasonic it's highest recommend. So with me excited about purchasing this T.V., watching Blu-ray's, playing video games (which is very important to me) and seeing some awesome technology my wife turned my day upside down. She started pointed to this television which was next to the Panny. Then I played with the remote and used the Picture Wizard II which is a self help calibration tool that should be the standard for all televisions. I kid you not I had this set looking better than any T.V. in the store. Other customers noticed and even the employees were a little taken aback. So we purchased it.

James K (Rockville, MD): The LED back lighting is pretty even, it's not edge-lit, so it doesn't suffer from the bright-edge effect that many edge-lit HDTVs have, and not buying an edge-lit model was a main deciding factor. The off-axis viewing angle- left to right and below to above is pretty good, not as good as my CFL back-lit Samsung, but the LG cost a small fraction of the Samsung and there will never be a room full of people seated around watching it in my office like the Samsung in the living room. If you get off-axis far enough you will see some variation in the backlighting on scenes that have a uniformly dark background, like movie titles over a black background, but I doubt that most people would ever sit that far off-angle or notice it.

J. Brooks (Nampa, Idaho United States): To start with, getting the TV setup was a snap and took no time whatsoever. I have mine wall mounted. I was a bit worried about the weight of the TV, but surprisingly being 10" larger than the Sony, it weighs MUCH less. Once mounted, just within a few minutes of scanning for all the stations, the TV was setup, connected to the internet, and ready to go! Setup ease is a 10 out of 10! A monkey could do it!

LG Electronics 60PN6500 60-Inch 1080p 600Hz Deal

Prithviraj Sharan "Reviews from my girlfriend... (Cambridge, MA): I agonized a lot before buying this TV. And in the end price won me over - over $500 cheaper than anything good that Samsung or Panasonic offered. The way I figured, $500 "saved" here can be used towards XBOX One in a few months. Reading all these reviews helped sway my decision. I also really wanted a Plasma as I don't like the picture quality of LED/LCD.

B. Paddock (Indiana): So far TV is great! This will be my 4th 60 inch tv in about a month, first was LG LED-couldn't handle dark scenes(screen was fading in and out from really dark to really light) 2nd was a Samsung 60 inch plasma, great picture but terrible buzzing that could be heard from far away. 3rd was Vizio, cool smart tv with overall great picture but had really bad uniformity issues when there was a dark scene, you could see these light spots around the edges of the screen that extended towards the middle of the screen, very annoying and distracted from what was on the screen. So here we are 4th tv, I am not interested in a smart tv, all I want is picture quality.

D. DeBar (Pittsburgh): I was not interested in a Smart TV or 3DTV. Why would I want apps on a smart TV that are clunky, slow, take awhile to navigate through when I can just hook up a computer or Apple TV? For the extra money for the Smart option (roughly $300) I'm more inclined to buy Apple TV for $100. That being said, this is the ideal TV for someone who is interested in a reasonably priced set that has an awesome picture, and decent menu/options. The sounds is ok- not perfect, but I hooked it up to a Vizio 5.1 sound bar using the Optical Sound Output. Very happy with that option.

LG Electronics 60LN6150 60-Inch 1080p 120Hz Deal

L. Knights (Silicon Valley): This tv is replacing my Westinghouse 40" LCD HDTV, and it is definitely much nicer. The picture quality is nicer (although it required some adjustment) the sound is better (although an external surround sound would be even better) and the quality of the unit, especially the sturdy base is much better. The remote is even better, you need to have good aim but I have used it from 30 feet away, where the Westinghouse was iffy even at ten feet.

Cathy Stucker "IdeaLady.com" (Sugar Land, TX USA): The thing that disappointed me a bit about this tv is the "smart" part. I was happy to get rid of my Apple TV and only use one remote, and that part has worked okay but the app for Netflix is not as good as the app for Netflix on either the Apple TV or the Roku (or even the Wii, for that matter), it's very basic and with the remote that comes with the tv it can be very pokey to search for something. I have used the app for your iPhone that turns the iPhone into a remote, but it of course only works when the tv is connected to the network, and the tv is slow to connect and then sometimes the remote app is slow or decides not to work. The app is also VERY basic.

 Gorn (San Diego, CA USA): The main Smart TV screen on the tv is full of different things, but many of them don't work with the remote that is included with the tv. I tried playing some of the games, but they are pretty much impossible with the included remote OR the iPhone app remote. I considered getting the Magic remote but 1.) it's annoying that you need to buy a separate remote to use so many features of the tv and 2.) I wasn't even sure which LG remote with "magic" in the name would be the right one to buy.
Overall, I really do like this tv because of the quality of the unit, the picture, the audio and the fact I can use Netflix without another box or remote, and I also like the direct USB hookups. I figure the "smart tv" features can be improved with simple updates and maybe one day it will actually be worth it to purchase the magic remote but, as of this writing, I wouldn't get too excited about the "smart" part because...it's not.

LG Electronics 42LA6200 42-Inch Cinema 3D 1080p 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'm not a huge fan of 3D, but I did want the capability for occasional use. LG's passive 3D is excellent, probably the best in the industry (it should be, LG invented it and licenses it to other companies). More manufacturers are dropping active in favor of passive (Sony, for example) with Samsung being one of the few major active holdouts. There is a very interesting article on Displaymate's website (they sell calibration software) where they came to the conclusion that passive technology actually offers a better, clearer and sharper 3D image. The active supporters like to claim that passive 3D offers only half the resolution of active sets. While true in theory and if you sit abnormally close to the screen, due to a phenomenon known as "image fusion", the human brain perceives the passive display to have equal resolution at normal viewing distances.

UncleMike2013: Someone on AVS forum with actual calibration equipment calibrated a 47LA6200 at a B&M store. While my limited settings were obtained using the Disney Wow Blu-ray disc in a very light controlled bedroom, the settings below were obtained in a very brightly florescent lit store environment. His settings are far more extensive, including color management and 20 point grayscale settings. These will probably result in a picture a bit too bright for most home settings (f so, start with lowering the backlight level). By the way, this person indicated after calibration, the 47LA6200's colors were extremely accurate. He also thought black-level and contrast were a bit weak. Color management and 20 point grayscale adjustments are performed in the expert menu. (Posted with "Showroomcali's permission and with thanks to him.):

LG Electronics 60PH6700 60-Inch 1080p 600Hz Deal

M. Fulkerson (Portland, Oregon): After a few weeks of heavy usage and exploring all the things this television has to offer, I can easily give it a top recommendation. There are a few annoying quirks, but nothing that mars the overall enjoyment. Depending upon what you plan to use this TV for, it can be the best television you've ever had for your needs. Just realize that if you plan to fully push this TV to what it's capable of, you'll need to make a few extra purchases which is a bit of a bummer.

Grandma (Vermont, USA): It seems that most televisions include 3D glasses WITH the tv's these days, but not so here. It's hard for me to really ding LG for this fact considering that it does not mention 3D glasses are included, so the discerning buyer who bothers to read what's included will be able to make an educated decision as to whether or not that's a deal breaker. Given the attributes of this set, I decided it wasn't a big deal considering the overall price, but for your information, the glasses will cost around 75 extra dollars. I have not made that purchase as of yet, so I cannot attest to the quality of this sets 3D capability. Personally, I don't care about 3D and will never use it, but if it's the sole reason you're picking up this TV, you'll definitely want to do a lot of research on your own. I will also continue to update this review as my experience with this set becomes more complete.

Kasey (California): Put simply, the picture is AMAZING. I mean, I'm slack-jawed at what this TV is able to produce on the screen. I watched the blu-ray version of Django Unchained on this TV, and it looked positively gorgeous. Colors were vibrant from every angle, and there was no streaking or blurring of any kind. I also watched some action-packed movies on blu-ray like Road Warrior and Predator, and wow, just stunning. Watching sports is an amazing experience as well. I've been watching the NBA playoffs on this tv, and you can almost reach out and touch the players. The 600 Hz refresh rate really shows off in this aspect, and my friends are all starting to trickle over to my place to watch games.

Meng Qi: 120Hz (This can be a con as well, see below) - There is a review stating this is not a 120Hz panel, it is.
IPS Pannel - This is the type of LCD it is and IPS delivers better, truer color.
Excellent viewing angel - Someone stated it has a poor viewing angle. I don't know what that person was looking at but this is not true for this LCD.
Inexpensive - This is a very good bang for the buck TV.
Great for bright room. There is a review that states this is TV is poor in bright rooms.
Great for gaming - There is a review stating this panel is poor for gaming. Actually this TV has very low latency and as such there is little lag in the TV responding to movement in games.

Garyznola : I got a great deal on the price of this TV, and I am pleasantly surprised at the great picture it has. I knew going in that the HDMI and other connections were lacking on this unit, but with a few changes in the way I connected my components, I was able to overcome what I was use to. The user manual is lacking some of the specific technical detail that I would like to see, but I guess for a novice it is OK. All in all it's a good tv and I would recommend it.

ArmyDoc: For the price, this is a great television. The downfall is the sound, but all tv's like that aren't very loud. That's why they make sound bars an home theatre systems. It is easy to set up and assemble. The remote is very easy to control and it doesn't use a lot of energy at all. This is a very good buy.This TV delivers for the price. I have seen the Wal-Mart VISO product at similar cost but decided to wait and go with a better brand. The VISO has a choppy transition that makes movies look fake and many other LCD TVs do the same; not with this product. The transition from frame to frame is great.

LG Electronics 47LA6200 47-Inch Cinema 3D 1080p 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.

Mathieu J. Champagne (Philadelphia, PA): The LG LA 6200 series are direct lit meaning the LED lights are arranged along the entire back of the panel and not just the edges. A full array back lit set has a great number of these LEDs mounted relatively close to the screen. Full array sets are found in the upper tier models and tend to be quite expensive. The direct lit system LG used utilizes less LEDs. To properly illuminate the panel, they are positioned farther away from the panel resulting in that thickness. Direct lit sets don't have problems with flashlighting, but they can have issues with dark screen uniformity and light bleed. Both my 42" and 47" LA6200s had/have light bleeding...the 47 far less than the 42. This is why I would deduct 1/2 star, if possible. The issue actually seems to be getting a bit better as the TV breaks in and I'm only seeing it on some dark screens, not all.

Hans J. Storoy "Hans" (Cranston, RI, USA): The TV was very easy to set up. Mine is mounted to a stand (VESA, M6 bolts) so I did not use the included base, but that looks very simple to attach. After you turn on the TV, you go through a brief set up...home or store use, zip code, time zone, etc. and then to Picture Wizard II. This is a calibration tool LG includes to help you adjust the TV for home viewing. After going through it's procedure and then later using the Disney Wow Blu-ray calibration disc, I was impressed how close to that mark the Picture Wizard II settings were.

LG Electronics 60GA6400 60-Inch Cinema 3D 1080p Deal

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). There is also a coax cable input for direct standard cable signal or an over-the-air antenna. The 3-prong, grounded power cord is attached to the opposite side of the TV from the inputs.

P. Ostrowski (brighton, ma United States): I don't watch much 3D because content is limited and there are rarely any live sporting events that transmit a 3D signal. This LG comes with 4 pairs of passive 3D glasses (similar to the glasses you get in a movie theatre). Since my 3D options are somewhat limited, I fired up Green Lantern in 3D (yes, I know the movie is awful) and put on the glasses. Wow. For a TV the 3D effect was solid and I never experienced any cross-signal. The 3D viewing angle isn't that wide, but you can maintain a quality depth effect if you're sitting 30-45 degrees away from straight-on. Again, I was surprised that I wound up preferring this passive 3D effect over my active-shutter 3D glasses I use with my Samsung ES7500. It's also nice that you don't have to worry about putting batteries in the glasses as well.

The Guy on the Couch: There's been some minor updates to the OS and several apps. The Google Play store now lists a few featured apps under the headings (instead of nothing), but apps are still woefully underrepresented. There is no Hulu app, nor is there an Xfinity app. And HBO GO is incompatible with this GoogleTV. I wanted to catch up on Game of Thrones, but the app just sends to you the Chrome browser-based website and nothing loads. I doubt HBO GO gets fixed until (if?) GoogleTV gets updated to Android 4.X.X. On the bright side, Amazon Prime is working much smoother than before, and the Zillow app with the magic remote is really fantastic if you're house hunting.

LG Electronics 55LN5710 55-Inch 1080p Deal

 D. Nielson: I am going to stress one thing first about this display... It's basic, very basic... You're getting one premium and that's the smart features, however that requires either a ethernet cable ran to a router/modem or dongle which is additional cost. This is a 1080p 120hz non 3D set that delivers in a lot of areas. Don't be swayed from this purchase because it doesn't have the luxury hot-rod features like some of the other sets have.

DSA (USA): Now on to the picture quality... I have to say I am rather impressed considering this set it is under one grand. It's not the brightest set and it's not going to have the best color out there either. I am not going to review indepth on those issues. I am going to say though, this set delivers with a good picture that most are going to notice if you're upgrading for an LCD or Rear Projectioon LCD television. The first movie I watched was Avatar and Life of Pi as a demo to the brilliance of this set and I would pleasantly surprised at how it delivered. No, it's not the best out there but it's very good for the price you're going to pay. Also the true-motion or as some will call it, the Soap Opera Effect (SOE) does a good job with this TV (if you like this feature). Personally I keep it turned off unless I am watching sports...

Michael T : Premium features/Smart TV function - This is the only modern premium feature that is offered on this set. I personally use a MICCA device and ROKU for this media use. However if you can consolidate thoses devices on this set but it'll be at a cost... the set does not include a wi-fi reciever built in. I can't understand companies would still do this but some sets are still this way. The TV requires a wifi dongle that'll allow you to gain connectivity to those smart functions and amps but the cost is going to range between 25-45.00 depending where you buy. Sure, $25.00 is not a lot of money but it's still an annoyance if you have to buy something additional to make a function work on theTV. THis is not really a huge deal breaker for me anyway so I don't give it weight in my decision, but wanted to make everyone aware...

LG Electronics 42LN5700 42-Inch 1080p Deal

Cathy Stucker "IdeaLady.com" (Sugar Land, TX USA): Wireless connection- The MAC address (the unique hardware ID for the internal wireless adapter) is nowhere to be found. Because I've set the security up on my network to only allow access to devices which I own by including their MAC address in the router access table, I had to spend a significant amount of time to identify the MAC address for the LG HDTV before I could access it wirelessly. This information is required by the FCC to be displayed on the outside of the device on a tag or sticker, but was not on the LG anywhere. I realize most people may not be affected by this, but this information should have been displayed for those whose are security-minded like myself.

L. Knights (Silicon Valley):An interested shopper asked whether the Smart App supported Amazon Prime yet... the answer at this point is that the firmware for both models I own does not support Amazon Prime as of 6/29/2013. Hopefully it will be updated in the future like some other LG models allegedly have been. I have a ROKU box that supports Amazon Prime, and honestly, Netflix video quality is much better to Amazon Prime at this time and Netflix has a much wider variety and greater quantity of programming, so I'm not really put off by not having Amazon Prime support at this point. Hopefully Amazon will up their game and improve the quality of their streaming products in the near future- I am a Prime customer, but I really don't take advantage of my access because the quality disappoints me whenever I watch something on Amazon.

J. Brooks (Nampa, Idaho United States): One final note about screens on this model... the 42" model in my bedroom is on top of a bookcase, and when lying in bed I have to look up at it... if my track lights are on while watching TV, there is a definite reflection from each track light that is reflected in a rainbow on 4 axis from each light source... it's very pronounced, and is likely an artifact of the light reflecting on the LED diffusion panel at the rear of the LCD screen; my Samsung HDTV does not exhibit this same tendency, it simply reflects an image of the light itself, however the Samsung has CFL illumination, and a different backlight diffusion technology, and this could be a characteristic of the LED illumination engineering. At any rate, when viewing the screen from eye-level, these reflections are not visible.

Mathieu J. Champagne (Philadelphia, PA): Several have commented this TV is much thicker than some of the very thin models on the market. That is necessitated by the back lighting system LG utilized on this model line. All LED TVs have LCD panels. LCD panels, unlike plasma displays, are incapable of generating their own light...they must be back lit to produce a visible picture. The very thin TVs are edge lit. The LEDs are placed on the left and right or top and bottom of the panels and mirrors reflect the light onto the panels illuminating it to provide a picture. This configuration allows for a very thin TV, but there are compromises. The primary concern is called flashlighting. If there was a scene with a bright moon against a dark sky, the LEDs on the edge of the panel would have to light up the moon. As the light is being reflected, some displays will show a beam of light, not unlike the pattern of a beam of light from a flashlight, going from the edge to the illuminated object...in this case the moon.

Hans J. Storoy "Hans" (Cranston, RI, USA): The LG LA 6200 series are direct lit meaning the LED lights are arranged along the entire back of the panel and not just the edges. A full array back lit set has a great number of these LEDs mounted relatively close to the screen. Full array sets are found in the upper tier models and tend to be quite expensive.

LG Electronics 47LN5700 47-Inch 1080p 120Hz Deal

D.R.L. (Austin, TX): Amazon has provided an extensive "Product Description" (taken from LG promotional literature) that outlines the myriad of features available on the LN5700 series of Smart TV's that became available in early 2013. There is no point in reiterating that list of features, so my review will focus on customer experience.
* SET UP: It took no time at all for a non-geek like me to set up the TV and the internet features. As they say: just follow the instructions on the screen.

Antony Rosellini : Ok so buying a T.V. can be maddening. There are a lot of choices out there. I have looked at massive reviews both professional and customer. I went into the store to buy the new Panasonic 55 St60. Cnet gave this Panasonic it's highest recommend. So with me excited about purchasing this T.V., watching Blu-ray's, playing video games (which is very important to me) and seeing some awesome technology my wife turned my day upside down. She started pointed to this television which was next to the Panny. Then I played with the remote and used the Picture Wizard II which is a self help calibration tool that should be the standard for all televisions. I kid you not I had this set looking better than any T.V.

James K (Rockville, MD): The LED back lighting is pretty even, it's not edge-lit, so it doesn't suffer from the bright-edge effect that many edge-lit HDTVs have, and not buying an edge-lit model was a main deciding factor. The off-axis viewing angle- left to right and below to above is pretty good, not as good as my CFL back-lit Samsung, but the LG cost a small fraction of the Samsung and there will never be a room full of people seated around watching it in my office like the Samsung in the living room. If you get off-axis far enough you will see some variation in the backlighting on scenes that have a uniformly dark background, like movie titles over a black background, but I doubt that most people would ever sit that far off-angle or notice it.
