We waited a long time to purchase a flat screen television (this is our first) and we are so thrilled with our choice. The clarity of the picture is beautiful and crisp. Being internet ready is fabulous for our whole family. The price point could not be beaten elsewhere and we feel we received a great deal for money well spent! Oh...and it also arrived earlier than expected and without a scratch or dent in shipping.

THE BEST QUALITY PICTURE I'VE EVER SEEN, December 18, 2010

I've been to a lot of bussiness looking for the TV with the best quality picture and this is the one I setteled on. I certainly have not been dissapointed. The clarity and deep colors and particullarly the sound are without equal. I'm convenced that all the new TV's with the speakers projecting out the back or side are designed that way to encourage buying a sound system to receive a quality sound. This TV doesn't need an extra sound system even though it projects out the side.

I also like the ease of using the menu for a custom selection on any item. The light weight is very surprising based upon the size. I have it set on a good intertainment stand and have no fear of it tipping over or being knocked over.

The TV must also be very durable as the shipping box that it came in when UPS delivered it was crushed on one side very badly. Very rough handeling but took it out of the box, set it up and it operates exceptionally.

I wouldn't trade this for any other TV that I've seen. The LED/LCD would be my choice again and particullarly the LG model.

Hope I'm able to say this a year from now.

Thrilled with my new LG TV, December 14, 2010

I have enjoyed my 42 inch LG 5500 for a week now. Comcast provided me with HD service, as my new TV replaced my old 27 inch CRT TV in my living room. Assembled to its stand, the TV is sturdy. The TV is easy to use and its features are easy to adjust.

PICTURE QUALITY on this LED LCD TV is fantastic! Blacks are very black, whites are white, colors are great. The picture is bright. HD TV shows & commercials display way more detail than on my old CRT TV. Viewing angle is excellent. There are no "flashlight" effects when I turn off the lights, or any other problem. The matte screen is important to me as I have a lamp facing the TV.

SOUND is very good. In the audio settings, I turned on the Infinite sound. The sound is not perfect, as the speakers are on the back of the set, but it is very good.

CONNECTIVITITY is useful. I connected the TV with an Ethernet cable to my Verizon FIOS router and downloaded updates. I connected another 25 foot cable, the HDMI, to the HP Multimedia desktop computer that I purchased in January. The computer has a HDMI port and a graphics card that transmits sound, so my new TV can function as a large computer monitor to show photos & videos on my computer or from my computer's CD/DVD drive. I can also stream from the Internet anything such as TV shows from Hulu.

I love my LG TV!
