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...
