 Very Pleased August 10, 2009

I don't know what else to say. It arrived at my door the first day of a 6 day shipping window. Set-up was simple and straight forward. The TV is not particularly heavy. And the ability to watch Netflix is great. There isn't a lot of content on instant play yet but this will be in my home for years to come.
This is my first non-crt TV so I don't have much to compare the picture to. But for $1500 I can't complain about the hardware. The TV even pulls music and pictures from an external HDD attached to a networked computer that is wireless-g. No big surprise, and the search is manual, but it's possible. Perhaps they'll even send an update to stream video at some point. This is capable of becoming a media server in a TV.
Outstanding Internet TV December 8, 2009

This TV is fantastic! I was originally looking at a lower LG model, but Amazon had a great price! This TV arrived in less than a week and set-up was a breeze. There's a quick wizard to walk through, and once completed, you're up and running. The Internet connectivity was as simple as plugging in a network cable to the back of the TV. I was already a Netflix user so that was as simple as activating the device and the streaming ability of the TV, in my opinion, is better than streaming through my XBOX 360. The Yahoo Widgets worked out of the box as was nice for basic content ability.
I haven't spent the extra time "tweaking" the picture through LG's picture controls, but once I'm done, I look forward to many nights of high-quality HD movies and sports!
Fantastic TV! December 27, 2009

I have to say, this is the best purchase I've made in quite some time. I researched TV's for a month before hesitantly ordering this one. I'm so happy with it...
1) The set up was simple. Plug it in, let it acquire TV channels, watch!
2) Internet connectivity is a snap and it is awesome. I expected poor performance on this feature because my internet connection, which is considered broadband, is slow compared to most broadband speeds (I'm very rural). Streaming video from Netflix is flawless (now if they would get some better titles for streaming.... but that's another story).
3) Picture quality is fantastic. I really have nothing to complain about. I read reviews where people said the blacks were not deep enough. I don't have that complaint. I find the HD viewing incredible and the standard definition is just fine.
4) If there is anything to complain about, and I feel it's nitpicky, is that the manual is on a CD instead of printed out, so if you have a question you have to go to your computer instead of flipping through the pages of a manual. Since the TV is so simple to understand, I'm not lowering my rating because of it.
I did pay $1199 for this TV with free shipping ([...]) which has a Bill Me Later payment option with no interest and no payments for 6 months. I see that Amazon has it for about $70 less, but that's how it goes. Overall I'm thrilled with my purchase. Happy, happy, joy, joy!
Good buy, would buy another November 2, 2009

Looks great, easy to set up, many functions. Blacks are crisp, HD is so sharp it seems 3D.
Amazing Television October 31, 2009

I bought this at Fry's for 899...i'm in California..so that takes it up to 1100 dollars with tax and recycling fee. The tv is awesome. The thing I like most about it is playing xvid/divx from a usb thumb drive/hard drive. I do that very often. I also like streaming Netflix movies. The picture quality is great. Sound is pretty decent. I also use the tv to watch local hd sports. I connect the tv to hd through an Antennas Direct C4. This gives awesome hd clarity. Better than my friends who have comcast/dish. Make sure you connect the tv to internet when you get it so you can get the new firmware....this new firmware allows you to play divx/xvid through usb. If you don't do that...you wont' be able to play those formats. Haven't done blu-ray yet...but i'm sure it'll be awesome.
