Good picture and a great value television
on April 18, 2015
Posted by: Jeff A.
from Asheboro, NC, USA
I was glad to find a 'straight-forward' television without all of the online hype or connections. I just use 'over the air' - outside antenna- with a Blu-ray dvd player. This is all I need for my television entertainment without the monthly fees. I figure I can use my computer for the internet content. The picture is easy to calibrate using the 'Expert mode' on the TV's picture menu, and Disney's "WOW" Blu-ray - 'world of wonder' - calibration DVD disc. My old television wouldn't allow me to 'turn off' the over-scan feature which you can on this television. Set to "just scan" in the picture menu's 'expert mode'.The only thing I was disappointed with, If you do use the built-in tuner for local channels, such as an outside antenna, only the name of the program, and it's time duration is displayed on the screen. It doesn't display what the program is about nor does it show programming coming up in advance. Again, most people have satellite or cable, so this isn't a problem if you use those providers. All in all, the other features of picture quality, sound quality, and the ability to 'fine tune' picture adjustments outweigh that minor issue, so I rate this television 5 stars for me.
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought this model TV in March 2015 and purchased the 3 year warranty plan. Of course, now that manufacturer and extended warranties have expired just this year, I am having the LED diffuser problem. Three white circles in a row right down middle of screen. Was told by one TV repair guy that LG uses inferior glue to hold the diffuser on knows there is an issue. Wish I had known this before purchasing. Can't afford to fix, can't afford new TV.
Pros: Style/Design, Features/Settings, easy to use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good only for short time

This tv has a great picture, but after 3 years the picture is gone. Started with some occasional flashing circles for a few weeks and now no picture at all. The sound works. Assume it's backlight or a board, but not really worth repairing. Should last longer than 3 years. Probably won't buy another LG.
Pros: Features/Settings
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lasted Only 14 Months

I purchased the 42" screen LG August of 2014. The TV was not installed until mid October because the room were it was to be used was under construction. The past several weeks the TV turned off by it self and at times the picture would be distorted. Today it turned of and will not go back on. Since it has a warranty of 1 year from purchase I am out a TV. I have had TV's for well over 20 years with no problems. Only to replace them because of style and convenience. Now I am not sure if I will purchase another LG product since my experience with this TV has been unsatisfactory.
Pros: easy to use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fair picture, fair sound, low price.

I loved the LN5300 model. The picture was so crisp and clear so we thought this later model (LB5600) would be great too. Not so. The price is lower but the picture is only average, the sound is just fair, and I'm considering taking it back. There are other Brands with much better picture quality that have decent reviews around the same price range. Sorry, LG--you have some great products, but FAIL on this one.
