Good LCD performance, lasted 3 weeks...

I'm not the type of person that habitually complains or nit-picks or sends food back at restaurants, just to let you know before I review. I bought this tv from Amazon, paid extra for it to arrive in 2 days via express mail, it took 7 or so, but I was fine with that. Out of the box, this TV was impressive in both size and picture quality. I remained pleased and impressed for ~3 weeks, then out of the blue, it stopped working. LG provided me with the phone number to a certified repair center. I called and they informed me that they don't perform in-house repairs. This TV is 75 lbs, and is difficult to move. They sent out 1 man to pick it up in a ran down van. On the pickup ticket he wrote " SCRATCHED", I know for a fact that this TV was flawless when it left. It's been over a week and they still have my TV, I don't know what condition it will be returned in and I'm highly concerned. I feel that the TV should I've been replaced with a brand new one, being that I paid ~$2000 for it and it malfunctioned after only 3 weeks.

Have no fear...wireless is here

This HDTV is all we could have hoped for. It arrived this afternoon and we had it setup with all input devices connected to the wireless media hub in about 15 minutes. So far everything has worked beautifully. If there is any degradation of the picture due to the wireless connection I'm not able to discern it. The picture is stunning, DVD upscaling from our LG BD390 blu-ray player is incredible, HD channels all come in fabulous. Sound is synchronized to perfection.

The location of the wireless media hub is about 10 feet from the TV. It's within a recessed cabinet that houses our reciever, blu-ray player, DVD recorder, and cable HD DVR set top box. All devices are connected and outputting picture and sound without a hitch. So far we've sampled from several DVDs and a blu-ray disc. No problems whatsoever.

If you were looking at this item and wondering whether the wireless HDMI would function well, you need not worry. We have been waiting for this capability for some time and were rather apprehensive getting such an early model. If further TVs are produced with this capability I expect that they will catch on very fast. Having the freedom to put the TV well away from all your other input devices is a dream come true.

Pretty good.

Pros:
Well price for one. I grabbed it for $1,699 shipped.
I'm going to compare this to my other TV, I think that would make most sense. Samsung UN46B7000.

I'll start out saying that the black levels are not nearly as close to as the Samsung. Although it does have potential, i have yet to really dig into the settings seeing as I've only had it for about a week.

Sound quality is much better than the Samsung. But I didn't expect a bang form a 1.3" TV. The LG is obviously a thicker beast at around 4.3".

Ahh the WIRELESSSSS ohhhh... Well its pretty cool actually. Thus far i haven't had any issues with the signal. The TV is about 13 feet away from the transmitter at this point. One note though it does take a wee bit longer to "boot" about 13 seconds form the time you press power to seeing a picture. Switching between inputs is no issue. I hope my Harmony can handle that delay.

Cons:
All this is based on a comparison to a Samsung UN46B7000


Update:
I have the 55LH85 for about two weeks now. The wireless used to be about 10 feet away from the TV strait across. It was perfect.

I moved the wireless box under the TV and i sometimes now get voice sync issues. It's a matter of placement issue i know it.

The TV it's self was... how do I put this... "eh" at first.
I've had time to play with the settings and get a chance to use the built it picture optimization wizard. It makes the TV shine. I watched District 9 today (again) and it was amazing. I was in the theater, without a doubt. Now for some 5.1 sound!

Note: The TV is not yet in Logitech's database. If you are planning to use a Harmony you'll have some trouble getting it perfect. I'm working on submitting my settings to the database.

Heavy - Always good to have a friend
Black level - Needs tweaking
Power up time - Time is $
BIG - ok, maybe this is not a Con.
Uses way more power - My Samsung is around 100Watts
Wireless - Still need to run power cable =(

Too good to be true?

I have not found a review for this TV anywhere. But the wireless feature seems an ideal solution for my install. I ordered the TV and it will be delivered today. I will update the review next week. But for now, I give it a 5 based on the regular 55" product I saw at Best Buy. BB does not carry the wireless version.
I also bought the LG Blue Ray player which arrived a couple days ago.
For both products delivery has been excellent. I ordered them on 11/16 and they proposed to deliver the TV on 11/24 but I was not available so they pushed it out to today, 11/27.
The whole buying experience has been excellent and I expect the TV will be too.

LG 55LH85 LCD HDTV

During the advent of big screen TVs, I said I would replace my 27" Zenith color TV, purchased when I got married in 1969, when it quit on me. Well it didn't and I couldn't wait, so I bought a Sony KP5020 "coffee-table type" front projection TV in 1984. For the past few years, I have watched TV technology change to plasma and LCD's. Like the Zenith, I gave up waiting for the Sony to quit also and after months of research deciding between plasma and LCD, I chose LCD and further upon further elimination of brands, a LG.
I am into gadgets and that's my motorcycle group riding name. I wanted a bigger screen than 50", so after deciding on the brand, there were 3 LG's I looked at, the LG 55LH40, LG 55LHX and LG 55LH85. The so-called LED TV's, like the LHX, are only backlit LEDs, not true LED like OLED and even though not true LED, they are expensive. Sony sells a true OLED TV for $2500 for an 11" screen and they are sold out, but out of my range. 120 Hz vs 240 Hz? The eye can't tell that much difference for the price and LG 120 Hz has "True-Motion" to compensate for "judder". The same goes for 720p vs. 1080p. The eye can't tell much and I understand that HDTV transmissions are in 720p anyway, Blueray is in 1080p. What finally attracted me was the LG 85's separate wireless media box with almost an infinite array of inputs and outputs, all transmitted wireless. If you have your sound system in one area and TV in another area, but in the same room, you've got it made with this system.
I found out that Black Friday weekend prices on the TVs were a little lower than Cyber-Monday. I waited until Cyber Monday and lost out on good prices. What a hype. The TVs went up $100 for the 85 to $300 for the 40. Even Newegg went up. As I am typing this, Newegg went back down to Black Friday week prices after 2 weeks of being $100 higher. It helps to have "Price-Protection" service like I have, for 60 days after purchase, but it's not through Newegg. The prices on the net have been ranging from $1699 to $2699. What a difference in prices.
I think my TV was shipped from Ca., since it took 8 days to get here by AIT. There was a storm front in the area and I called their local contractor, J & P trucking and asked them to postpone delivery a day later. They said they would deliver whenever I wanted and arrived 12/10/09.
It arrived strapped to a wooden pallet. I cut the straps and lifted the box over the TV that was encased in styrofoam. The only damage I found was 2 symmetrical hairline cracks on the back of the base that cannot be seen from the front. They are so equal, it almost looks like it was made that way. It was probably from the TV shifting on the foam.
It is a handsome unit with transparent frame. The TV measures 54" wide, 10" wider than the Sony, so I had to improvise my space. I wheeled it in carefully with a dolly and lifted it up onto my surround sound bass-box that is 13"H X 13"W X 15" Deep. With stand, it weighs 86 lbs. Having the media box separate, saves weight. Inside the packing box is the TV, media box, 2 power cords, owners manual, extensive manual on a CD, remote with batteries, microfiber cloth and protection cover to cover the hole used by the TV stand, if you want to hang it up on the wall. You have to purchase a separate HDMI cables and VGA cable if you want to hook it up to your computer.
I had my previous TV hooked up with cable converter box; Go-Video DVD-VCR recorder; Go-Video VHS to VHS recorder; Sony DVD player changer and Sylvania DVD recorder, that runs through a multiple switching box master control center, so I am probably getting some signal loss. I hooked up the TV cable into the LG media box. My cable company also supplies not only TV, but broadband and telephone, another possible signal loss. It takes a few seconds for the media box's transmitter located in the front of the box to search for the receiver located under the LG logo on the TV. Reception is similar to the "bars" on your cell phone and I am receiving 5 bars. By the time I finished hooking it up, the Jay Leno show was on and I thought either my vision was impaired or something's wrong with the TV, because Jay's head/face was out of focus. Was I upset and almost blamed it on the TV until I switched to a pre-recorded DVR program and then played a DVD and also switched to HD programming. I had no focus problems. Then I remembered the bad hype that the Sony projection TVs got many years ago. The increased size accented the poor transmissions put out by the TV stations, not the fault of the TV. I have not used the HDMI hookup yet or surround-sound option. I have a separate surround-sound running out of my DVD-VCR recorder.
The LG media box has 3 HDMI connections in the back, 1 in the front and there is 1 on the TV for a total of 5 HDMI ports. There are also component, DVI and composite hookups as well as optical digital audio out.
The LG has HDTV; ISR; AV; Invisible Speakers: Trumotion: Smart Energy Savings+; Dolby; SRS; Clear Voice II: HDMI; Full HD 1080p; Wireless; Intelligent Sensor and DIVX.
An array of red leds on the bottom right indicates standby and when turned on, cycles like a Battlestar Galatica Cyclon and turns white. You have the option of turning this off. Controls on the TV are on the right side. The remote has a 5 sec. backlight to see in the dark. The front of the master box has USB and HDMI in, ports.
The TV also comes with automatic or manual time clock and sleep timer. Through the remote, you can access a simple manual and quick menu to make picture adjustments. Pressing the info on the remote will give you program info if broadcast by your cable/satellite company. It also has key lock; parental controls and channel locks.
You can view JPG files, play MP3 and movie files as well as Simplink equipped. There is a "Picture Wizard" where you can "tune" your TV to examples, as you desire and adjusts black level, white, color tint, horizontal and vertical sharpness and backlight. You also have manual, advanced and 2 expert settings that you can set according to what you are watching. The expert settings also go farther than my technical ability at this time and I haven't messed with all the color adjustment in the expert setting. There are directions for optimal placement of the media box and I have mine just in front and under the right side of the TV. I found out after moving the box around that the front controls are "touch-sensitive" for all the ports on the box. I have not used the HDMI or blue-ray, but according to the other reviews, the picture is outstanding. That is probably the best way to appreciate the money you spent on this TV, since TV broadcasting is still not the best of worlds. (I have been getting "tileing" all year and have had the cable co. out numerous times and they are coming again Sunday to try to fix the tileing. I'm ready to go back to Dish or Direct TV.)
The only Cons I can find is that when you use the Intelligent Sensor with one light on in the room, the screen is too dim for my liking, but it saves 75% energy by dropping the brightness and backlight. When I turn the overhead light on, it adjusts accordingly and gets brighter. The other con is the email for registration is not what is printed on the card. It is [...] "Secure" was left off the card or had been changed to a new email.
Contacting LG customer service by phone was answered quickly. I inquired why I am not receiving picture info. It seems it is the cable's problem not the TV. I hooked another TV with picture info features up to cable and didn't get any info either. At least I received immediate info from LG customer service, who also confirmed that my email registration had been confirmed.
I saw a 55 in. Vizio at Walmart this week for $1350. They are reputed to give you a lot of bang for the buck, but the old saying still is, "You get what you pay for" and I am happy with what I got. Anyone interested in LG should go to [...]

awsome

I could not be happier with this TV purchase. I bought this about 4 months ago to replace a 32in 720p Emerson that I had this TV is twice the TV in picture quality. The sound is great so much loader and clearer than my old TV. Response time is great play video games a lot and never notice any blurring. I know there are better TV's out there but for the price I believe this is a great bye. Can't find anything bad to say about it and you don't have to screw this TV down it just has the option for that in the stand in the back.

Can't lie..I like it!!!

Ok so I've spent forever looking for a tv, but refused to pay alot for one. So I waited and stumbled upon this. I bought it for less than $500 on another site, around $550 with tax. And i'm pleasantly surprised. Now is it a sony or samsung NO, BUT its darn good for the price and I'm really happy with my selection so far. I'll keep you updated. BUT OVERALL, THIS IS A REALLY GOOD BUY!!!

Get beautiful HD and the superior plasma contrast you're looking for with the 50" PJ350 Plasma. If you think plasma means a bulky frame or power inefficiency, take a second look with the PJ350. It has a TruSlim Frame that makes for a sleek design and its Intelligent Sensor technology and Smart Energy Savings makes sure it's using only the energy it needs.

Great TV, Picture, and Sound -- and Reasonable Price

Taking a time out here to say I've had this TV for almost 8 months.

Excellent picture, clear, well-defined with good color, easy menu controls, good sound features. Viewing at an angle, the picture still looks very good. I know contrast ratio on some of the new Panasonics has skyrocketed, so I would not get too hung up with that, because on this TV, at 80,000:1, the contrast ratio is very good. Menu adjustments for picture and sound are vey simple. For my taste the color is already very good out of the box. For sound, there is a feature to adjust the overall sound level (6 levels), with each higher level representing a new higher range of volume for the +/- adjustment on the remote. Too, you can adjust the treble and bass, and the end result can be very, very nice.

Regular dvd movies look great on it, and that was something I was concerned about because of the bigger screen--definition is so good, I don't even need to consider Blue Ray. One concern was whether the HD would make DVD movies have the look of daytime soap operas, that is, staged, as though in a theatrical play and not actually filmed or having the look of cinema, and the HD does give it that kind of staged, unreal look--but thankfully, it's an easy fix. Thanks to an earlier reviewer for pointing it out, in the menu picture settings you have to go to advanced controls, turn off the TruMotion 240Hz feature, then make sure have the Real Cinema feature turned on. Bottom Line: I would highly recommend LG televisions.

I should mention the source of the signal for my TV was not cable or satellite, but a Terk indoor HD TV antenna that picks up all the local San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose channels very well (excellent HD at zero cost per month!), given distance of about 10 mi from Oakland, 20 mi from San Francisco, and 30 mi from San Jose.

Hope this was of some help to someone.

Great LCD HD TV

Spectacular picture that autoadjusts to the ambient light in the room Great sound that autoadjusts down when loud commercials come on. Lots of inputs and lots of adjustments if you are into tweaking "everything." Had just one problem with the set when I first got it. The sound was out of lipsynch on some channels. However, LG sent a tech out to my house to install a software upgrade that eliminated the problem. That was impressive. This is also a very good looking set, even when it is not on. Also, when the set was delivered from Amazon, the delivery men unpacked the TV, attached it to its swivel stand and set it in place for me. They connected it and turned it on to make sure that it was working properly. All that, at no extra charge. I highly recommend this TV.

Nice TV

I am not a person who watches TV, but when my old one went, I got this LG & it looks amazing compared to anything I have seen in a TV. Especially with High Definition DVD's & I'm sure BluRay (which I am soon getting)
The picture looked like a 3D picture that had alot of depth to the picture. The blacks are true black & the characters in the TV show move quite lucidly, I have to say I have never seen anything like this before, it's very different than any TV. You can zoom to different aspect ratios, make it bigger, but it does lose quality when you zoom. I haven't used my computer over the TV yet, but will play some movies from my hard drive when I get a wireless cable/USB
The TV is really pretty even when it's turned off, it has a clear lucite frame on the outside edges of the black bezel that frames the TV. There is no glare at all on the picture, even with the lamp on, or the sun shining through the blinds.
The only thing I noticed, is when the actor speaks, you can sometimes see pixels in the mouth, but it's not really a deal breaker, as I said before, it looks amazing to me & HD shows like Smallville (dvd), really pop out with the colors the way it was filmed, enhanced, etc.. Yes this looks awesome, but if I had the money, I would have bought a newer TV, as I'm sure the newest ones look even better. All in all, I think this was an excellent choice that I am still happy about!
