"Beautiful design, but", 2010-10-10
I said but, because:
a) it was advertised with skype: there was no skype
b) besides amazing design, somehow picture on my 120Hz LG Lcd seemed still better to me.
c) stand looked cheap
d) there was no 'built in' wireless connetion, you still have to buy dongle.
c) too much reflection off the glass
e) I was super annoyed with auto picture/light/ sensor settings, to the point that I was about to block sensor with the piece of cardboard. LG hear me: You are my favorite brand (I have 4 flat LG tvs in the house) but I don't want any sensor to dictate any settings on anything especially not the picture on MY TV. One should be able to override that manualy. That should be option only, not some "green, environmental, 'save energy' fasiscm and dictatorship. OK?
f) it says frameless but it still has a pretty thick frame under the glass as oppose to newest 9500
g)2011 LG tvs will have Plex in it, they've just signed contract with plex.
h)2011 will have built in media boxes, too
j)Not 3D
k) Limited apps, very very few, not enough for internet tv.
So I just sold it. Why? Because it was a nice try by LG. Just an Attempt. Price was low but there were undelivered promises,too (skype, dongle, no apps, not really frameless, no blue tooth, only in EU version) So it was not worth it. So it had t be 3 stars only, even though it looks beautiful.
I'll wait another year or so and get something way much crazier and better from my favorite brand which is LG
"Great for the money", 2010-09-21
I won't review the TV as there are plenty of other reviews, just to say I had no problems and everything worked fine. I hesitated to buy it on line as I feared what happens if it is not Ok out of the box, but if you buy from AMAZON direct, they have a 30 days return (with shipping paid by them and no restocking fees of any kind) so that's very close to the 90 days you get on real stores and with no taxes and lower price.
The wireless USB thing worked easily (though you have to have a decent signal as it does not pick up weak signals) but it all worked well. Very happy with the product.
There is a bit more glare than with my LCD TV that's about the only minus (but nothing major)
"Very nice for the money!!", 2010-09-20
Very happy with the picture quality. The tv is also much slimmer than I expected it to be so that was a nice bonus. There are only two cons that I have seen so far:
-The stock tv speakers although not bad are nothing to write home about..
-Although this tv has internet conectivity, it does not have a built in web browser. So you are confined to the limited applications it comes with (Netflix, Vudu, Flickr and a Yahoo app world)
Other than that... the tv has been great. It looks absolutley fantastic as the centerpiece of my living room :) a beautiful piece of equipment.
"Scratch and Dent Plasma 50" LG", 2010-09-06
The TV I purchased said it was used but it looks like it was damaged during installation and was returned. There are a couple little chips in the front bottom right edge of the glass pannel. The hour meter on the TV said it had never been turned on. I saved over $300 for a couple little chips that I completely hid with a black Sharpie marker. The serial number hadn't been registered before for waranty so....Score!!!!
Tons of connections. It does not have any s-video connections. It has s/pdif optical output which is great if you have a home theater receiver and want the option to have all your movies and shows to run through your speaker system.
This a web enabled TV as well. Netflix is really cool if you have at least a 1.5Mbps connection. Netflix HD requires a 3Mbps or faster connection speed.
The OTA tuner is really easy to set up and the manual tuning helps you aim your antenna for best performance. I wish the signal meter wouldn't time-out until I was done. Going back through the menu is ok but it could be better.
