 Great TV March 8, 2010
C. Berg (Kingsland, GA USA)
I am very happy with my purchase of this tv. It has met or exceeded what I expected from it. I watch movies and also play video games on it and the picture is excellent. The only thing negative I would have to say is that the tv is hard to see when sun gets on it because of the glass front, however I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old and the glass will save the tv so I have no real complaints...Great TV

Great TV at a Great Price February 6, 2010
Moshnberry (Moshburgh, Pa)
Searched, Searched and Searched on line, stores etc. Compared Samsung, Sony, Toshiba and was very close to buying a Toshiba and then Consumer Reports updated their TV reviews and added this LG SL80 and rated it very high. So did a quick review to validate their information and then bought 2 actually.
Love the slim profile and pivotability.

Purchasing the LG47SL80 was primarily based on in-store evaluations, Consumer Reports recommendations and reading every review I could find. In over 30 years, I've never been disappointed using these guidelines.
Viewing this TV is better than watching live action because real life doesn't always offer perfect lighting. The LG47SL80 does. From a distance of 7 feet, my choice in a darkened room for a genuine movie experience, the pimples and imperfections on all those beautiful people, whom I thought were absolutely perfect, clearly show up through their makeup. I have yet to decide if this is a pro or con. It is AMAZING CLARITY.
Choose a matt screen vs. glossy black wisely. If you have complete control of the lighting in your TV room, the glossy black screen is phenomenal.
In a large family room with lots of windows and several viewing angles, you might consider the matt screen.
Regardless of the room lighting conditions, when the set is turned off, most rooms exude more pop and pizazz with the reflections and accents afforded by a huge glossy black screen than they do with a dull chunk of matt glass.
The remote is responsive and easy to use. It took about 15 minutes of playing around with the menu selections to gain a total understanding of the unit.
The "White-Glove" delivery came through as promised. Before placing my order, I had questions about the company making the delivery. Were they bonded and insured? They were.
Amazon.Com gave me the names of 3 possible companies and explained that once my shipment arrived into my area, it would be assigned to one of these companies. That company would in turn contact me to set up a delivery time. In my case, the initial delivery was scheduled for December 28th. It was delivered on the morning of December 24th and was set up in about 20 minutes.
Merry Christmas.
My signal comes from two roof-top antennas, as a result, the audio and video are in perfect sync and spectacular.
Using the up/down channel selection switch takes 2 seconds for the channel to change and the picture to appear. Pressing the numerical buttons to select a channel takes 5 seconds for the picture to appear. This might be important to other impatient, channel-surfing males like myself.
The set replaced a 250-pound Toshiba Cinema Series HD 36-inch tube TV, which heretofore, I thought was as good as it gets. Was I ever wrong. This monster sat in a cabinet that weighed as much as the TV and moving the ensemble out from the wall to make cable connections was not an option. Making the connections would have challenged a circus contortionist. It was excruciating agony of gigantic proportions. I can't wait for the 2nd such TV to die.
The heavy and sturdy stand on the LG swivels about 30 degrees making connections in back a breeze. For me, this was the best upgrade of all.
Even without the benefit of the swivel stand, the viewing angle is outstanding and the best I've ever seen on any LCD TV. The viewing angle on this set is advertised at 170 degrees. I find that claim to be pretty accurate.
My DVD movies are nearly as eye-popping as Blu-Ray. In fact, it is hard to see a significant difference using a progressive up-converting OPPO player.
I connected a sound system and found it to be a bit overwhelming. Besides, it scared the beejeebers out of the cats. The TV sound suits me fine and offers several variations. If a tree falls through the roof or the cats start remodeling the house I'd like to be able to hear it.
After two weeks of daily use, I can't find anything to complain about with this TV. I would make the same purchase again. However, for a larger room, I would seriously consider the LG 55-inch screen with backlit LED.
There is not much more clarity, if any, to be gained by waiting on new technology. If 3D is all they have to offer, I'm not interested. 3D was a fad 40 years ago. It has always been a fad and probably will be in the future. Besides, those silly-looking, cardboard glasses were a pain. When 3D TV hits the market, 3D glasses will have controls and cost up to a hundred dollars. And everybody in the family will have to have their own pair in their favorite color. Please spare me the agony.
I am being bombarded with an offer of a 3-year LG Premium Care Plan for $159.99. Most all consumer advocates warn against buying these. I agree. If a product turns out to be a lemon and fails to preform satisfactorily, then I spread the news as fast and furious as possible. Ten of thousands of other consumers do likewise. Therefore, it falls the lot of the manufacturer to produce the best product possible that will last or else they won't.
On with the show.

I love this TV. Slim design, why would you pay so much more for LED LCD TV?. With the glass finish it looks beautiful on the wall even when it is turned off. Picture is awesome. The picture does look unnatural at 240 Hz, but so do all the other brands. I just leave mine at 120Hz, which I think is perfect. Great deal from Amazon, received very quickly. I love this TV!
