Amazing LG 55LE5400
on April 15, 2010
Posted by: JayT
from Northfield, NJ
I just installed this LG TV, replacing an older lcd projection system. My configuration includes a BlueRay player (included as a package) as well as a HT pc, carousel dvd player, A Wii, and a VCR (yes still use it) all conected to a HD Satelite provider and Home theater sound system. The picture is nothing less then amazing. Any HD content looks like your in the room with them and blueray content is even better. Standard analog broadcasts are fair to good. The tv came with an adequate count of HDMI connectors but could use another set of composite and component connectors to polish the terminal round up. I do miss my PIP from my older tv but will learn to live without it... Set up was easy after wrestling the flat panel out of the box (just me, no help), and attaching the base. With a swivel on the base pedestal, I could find the ports and make cable commections without pulling out the console from the wall. I have not used the internet features yet but they do look like a plus for those who would be renting a lot of movies. You will need to have a network drop and small network switch for the TV, BlueRay player and any other networked components. I would not recomend wireless if at all possible.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
Cons: no pip, no hdmi cables included
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great TV
on April 23, 2010

Just bought this TV and I am very pleased. The picture is outstanding. The sound is pretty decent considering that you really can't see the speakers. The features are pretty straight forward to use. Plenty of options and features. Just watched Avatar on Blu-ray and it looked in incredible. Plenty of hook-ups, such as 4 hdmi inputs and 2 optical outputs. The only disappointing thing was that you have to buy a separate wi-fi adapter to connect wirelessly to the internet. I couldn't find the adapter locally, so I'll have to buy it online. Otherwise this is a great TV.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
Cons: no wi-fi adapter included

Good TV but many problems with video/audio dropout
on May 29, 2010
Posted by: TexHDTV
from Texas
The picture quality is very good, but when connected to an LG BD570 Blu-Ray player via HDMI, there are frequent audio/video dropouts where everything goes blank for about a second. I hear there is a known issue at LG with this problem. There is also frequent audio/video synchronization delays (i.e., lip sync problems); I can fix it by turning everything off and back on again. Annoying, and am hoping a software update fixes this. This TV has great potential...
Pros: easy to use, Quality, very good video quality
Cons: audio lip sync
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very Good Picture
on May 29, 2010
Posted by: bf
from Houston, TX
Really good picture,especially if you use your own video presets.
Amazing improvement over 3 year old Sony.
The set is thin but unexpectedly heavy.
The sound quality is pretty good considering the dimensions of the TV.
The internet access through the TV is kind of limited and slow; punching text in through the remote is a painful ordeal.
The remote feels cheap, the buttons don't respond well to user inputs, and of course, it doesn't play well with the cable box, DVD player, and other TV sound accessories - the couch is littered with remotes needed for program to program changes. The remote seems to be an after thought just thrown in to complete the package; it isn't up to the performance and technology of the TV. Every time I use the TV, I notice once again how poor the remote's engineering is.
If you never use the remote, this is one of the best TV's available today.
The shiney black plastic front bezel shows every fingerprint and smudge and it reflects light back at the viewer. Too bad it doesn't have a more matte finish.
It would be a great TV if it could sense and reduce audio boost on all commercials.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design
Cons: Difficult to use, really poor remote, slick plastic surfaces shows fingerprints and wear
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awsome picture! You will love this TV. I was worried about the edge lit LED's but I have not had a problem with it bleeding at the edges. Colors are vibrant, blacks are dark and rich and movement is smooth. Plenty of adjustments to set this baby anyway you like. You won't regret getting this one.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality

Great Upgrade

I moved up from a 42" plasma to this 55" LED/LCD and I am very pleased. Picture quality is excellent, setup and menus are easy to navigate. Does the job for all types of broadcasts especially sports and movies. Sound quality is lacking for some broadcasts but not an issue when you have home theater stereo option. Great deal for the money.
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
Cons: sound quality on some broadcasts lacking
I would recommend this to a friend!
