Great TV April 21, 2010

very nice picture once you change the setting to vivid. Before I changed the setting I was unhappy with the brightness and color but once I changed it I loved it. TV gets a little warm after a few minutes of watching so I'm guessing it uses a lot of energy. Nonetheless it is a great way to watch movies. My only suggestion is to have a way to tether it to the stand so it would be safe to move it. It just would be a little more secure.
Beautiful picture and easy to use. April 18, 2010

I have had my TV for only 3 days but so far I am very satisfied with the product. I have read some expert reviews that recommend waiting 300hrs before having it calibrated; however I think the picture is great even without the calibration. The standard definition of course wasn't as crisp so the next day I upgraded to a HD receiver for my cable and it looks wonderful. The sound it also great and it has been very easy to use and set up.
One of the features that attracted me to the TV was the availability of the internet (most especialy Netflix) on the TV. I am not quite so tech savy so I wasn't sure how to do this. The owners manual showed running a ethernet cable from your modem or wireless router to the LAN port on the TV. The problem for me was that both were across the house and I really didn't want to run a cable across the house to the TV. I tried to do some research on the internet to find out how to do this and most sites were showing connecting a computer or laptop via HDMI or other cable system however the great thing about this TV is that you shouldn't require a computer. Finaly I called my sister who always knows a lot more about anything technical and she told me there is a product called "Cisco Linksys PLTK300 Powerline Adapter" ($124 on Amazon; you will also need 2 ethernet cables). I just ordered it today so I can update how it works when I get the product. Apparently it comes with two devices and one you connect to your wireless router and then plug into the wall and the second one you plug into your TV and then plug into the wall and it sends the internet signal through your electrical outlet. I'm not sure if it is common knowledge that such a product exists but maybe there is somebody out there who knows as little as myself about this and hopefully this helps.
Update: Had the TV for about a month now and I am still very satisfied with my purchase. The internet is working on it and Netflix is great. Thanks J. Vallow for the comment; unfortunately it's too late for me to trade my powerline adapter but maybe somebody else will benefit from your advise. =)

I have to parrot the previous reviews. I ordered this tv on April 10 and have it up and running today, Great service and very fast delivery. On to the tv. The picture on the LG is fantastic. I replaced a dlp and even when that tv was brand new it came nowhere close to the bright, rich colors of the LG. No glare, very good blacks and an ease to hookup.
I have already tried the netcast feature and I have to say that it is great. I didn't want to run a cable to the back of my house to the router so I purchased a VuDu wireless kit. There is absolutely nothing to do but plug it in. Works like a charm.
I have nothing but raves for this television. You won't be disappointed, Also,kudos to Vann's, the store that supplied the television. Excellent transaction
ADDED May 8, 2010--Had a bump in the road. While watching the tv it suddenly turned off. When trying to turn back on it would immediately turn itself back off. In short, it turned out that the main board went out. LG responded right away and sent a serviceman out. He replaced the new board in a matter of minutes. He told me that this is the first time he has seen that in this model and that he has only had to service 3 other models like this one. That made me feel better.
I have to compliment LG for their very quick service. BTW, I still love this tv.

We've had it for a couple of weeks and so far really like it. All of the TV's we've looked at have plus and minuses. This one was pretty much what we were looking for.
Plus - Nice picture; excellent view from any angle; lots of adjustments if you want. Access to low cost streaming movies, TV series, youTube, etc. is the wave of the future. easy access to your wifi network and internet. We use our existing Airport Extreme wifi with an Airport Express, hooked directly to the tv with an ethernet cable. Exciting new technology easily accessible to anyone with a wireless home network.
Minus - Not the great sound that our big projection TV had; glass like finish of screen reflects everything.
Get help hanging it on the wall!
And most important, Amazon.com and Pilot Freight Services made the transaction and delivery better than we have ever experienced with any local store! Would do it again!

I've had this HDTV for several months. Absolutely could not have been easier or more cost effective to complete this transaction with super quick delivery through Amazon. The HDTV is everything I had hoped for based on a wide array of research and comparable reviews I had done. This is not a lightweight set, but is easily moved in place by two people. The simplicity of its design is pure elegance and it has worked flawlessly since set up.
