 LG55 47inch 240hz beasty LCD TV February 21, 2010
Ian C. Pilcher (California)
Love this TV, mainly because of the speakers, makes out things the way they were meant to be seen. Although, I use this for the playstation PlayStation 3 250 GB and jazzy bayonetta music mostly. IBayonettaam actually typing this on a badass little monitorSceptre 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black (X240T-1920) which is connected to a computer which is also connected to the best TV ever. Maybe someday my whole wall will be a giant TV.
Love it! February 2, 2010

This TV was a Christmas present for the entire family. We love it. The TV is phenomenal and we got a great deal at holiday time. No complaints!
 Great value, good for bright rooms, not good for dark rooms January 30, 2010

The LG 47LH55 is a great value overall. That does not mean it is perfect. The set exhibits fairly light black levels (meaning dark objects tend be a bit grayish instead of true black). It does however, have very bright whites. Combine these attributes with the matte screen (as opposed to glossy), and this makes a great tv for rooms with lots of lights and/or windows. The matte screen prevents reflections much better than glossy screens do. The picture is fantastic from both hdmi and component video inputs. I have not used the tuner yet, so I can't comment on it. The power save feature works quite well - it automatically senses the ambient brightness in your room and then turns the brightness of the tv up or down. This way, the tv is nice and bright when the room is bright, but is less bright in a dark room. The bottom line is that this is a great set for bright rooms. But I'd look somewhere else if you're planning on using this in a basement without windows. You'll be happier with a set that has darker black levels and a glossy screen.
47" LG HDTV 1080p 240Hz January 30, 2010

The picture is far better than some of the other HDTV's I looked at and the price at Amazon was about $400.00 less than Best Buys. The deliver service unpacked and set it up for me just so I could make sure there was no damage to it. It was an all around good experience, would do it again
Head-to-Head with a Panasonic G15 Plasma - LG 47LH55 WINS! December 26, 2009

Always thought I would buy a plasma but after a salesman strongly recommended the 240Hz LG LCD decided to give it a go. However, after purchasing this 47LH55 model wasn't sure if a quality plasma would better fit my viewing preferences and since I would be living with a new TV for a few years decided to do a live comparison in my home.
So... purchased a Panasonic plasma 50 inch G15 to compare directly to the 47 inch LG - with one TV being returned at the end of it all. Both TV's are upper-mid range models so it was a pretty fair head-to-head comparison.
To allow a dynamic comparison, purchased a 2 port HDMI 1x2 powered splitter ver 1.3 certified for full HD 1080P with deep color & HD audio and max bandwidth of 10.2Gbps to allow watching identical channels simultaneously whether in HD, SD cable feeds and 1080P blu-ray. Wanted the best HDMI splitter available, as the signal had to be accurate to both displays - also used identical high quality HDMI cables for all connections.
Both are great TV's, but the nod went to the LG for more than a couple of reasons.
Compared them straight out of the box. Neither TV was calibrated. Used the standard setting on both TV's.
The LG displayed SD much better than the Panasonic. The Panasonic was soft with SD and the LG was much sharper.
Both displayed HD cable (720P/1080i) with differences. Both were excellent, the LG was sharper with a more video look and the Panasonic had more a film-look. Liked the Panasonic plasma film look here. (more on that, later)
The Panasonic didn't have the ability to scale SD 4:3 text to the screen. Any text scroll, such as at the bottom of CNN, was chopped off on both sides of the text.?? Couldn't figure out how to fix it - maybe it can be done but couldn't find out how. Big nod to LG.
Liked the LG's intelligent room light sensor. Also the LG ran cooler and used much less energy even though this new G15 model is now rated Energy Star efficient. Ambient light reflection wasn't an issue as both have good reflective screen coatings.
The LG LCD was capable of much brighter display. The Panasonic was very good for a plasma but clearly not in the same ball park. I found the black levels on the LG very good maybe not quite as good as the Panasonic but still excellent. Blu-ray, from a new model Playstation 3, looked spectacular on both sets. However, everything better about the LG still applies.
Was able to save almost $450 with the LG. Got excellent deals on both but the LG was more price competitive, in Canada. If the Panasonic had been superior would have bit the difference, since the LG was already scoring better on almost everything it was a no-brainer here.
The speakers on the Panasonic weren't even close to the quality of the LG's built-in speakers. Have a great Onyko 807 receiver but don't always want the surround sound on. Nice to have reasonable sounding speakers in the TV when a quick and dirty news story comes on. Big vote to the LG on TV only sound.
The Panasonic ability to link directly to the internet would be important if I didn't already have the capability with an internet ready, Onyko receiver and WD TV Live. I was only interested in how these TV's displayed image and how they sounded. Also much preferred LG's excellent, quick on-screen menu with easy/fast video, sound & display choices on the Panasonic menu options.
Finally, The LG allows *serious* white balance calibration over the Panasonic plasma. *Ten levels* of white balance. As mentioned earlier, liked how the Panasonic displayed a nice film softness with high-def movies, so decided to try and tweak the colour and white balance in one of the two, expert settings on the LG. Found an expert setup of white balance variables to input - from a specific review and their calibration variables found online. >[...]<
After that, the LG was every bit as good as the Panasonic dispaying high-def movies. The LG now had a film lushness, too.
I started the whole comparison process thinking I would end up spending the extra money for the Panasonic plasma. I kept finding myself surprised at how good this LG model was in direct comparison. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. This same calibration site quoted gave the LG 93 points overall (94 points for value) with the Panasonic G10 model (last model they had reviewed) only receiving 90.87 points overall with a 91 points for value. Both are excellent TV's but the LG just had too much going for it.
Surprised, I boxed the Panasonic and returned it.
Hope this helps anyone trying to decide.
