Ignore all the other reviews where they say that have owned the TV for a week and love it. I've owned this TV for a year and have had plenty of time to discover what a rip off it is.
Picture quality: No complaints
Tuner quality: Terrible. I get better reception from a cheap external tuner.
Sound Quality: The "Invisible Speaker" Buzzes constantly. If you buy this TV plan on also buying a separate sound system.
Inputs: The Inputs have a delay which make it impossible to play video games because the buttons you push on your
controller don't match up with the action on the screen
Reliability: This is the worst of all. I have already had to replace the mother board and now the bulb just blew out. Even between repairs, the picture does not always boot up properly forcing you to turn the TV off and restart it.
This product is junk! Choose a different brand.

I'm really impressed with this TV so far. I've only had it for about a week so I can't speak to long term reliability, but otherwise I'm impressed. The picture quality is on par with a really nice Samsung 42" I had previously. It also has the advantage of being a few inches bigger.
The menus are easy to use, and the quick menu feature really helps to switch picture modes. This becomes important because you'll want to be able to turn off TruMotion for movies, and turn it on for games.
TruMotion tries to smooth out video and it works wonderfully in games (highly recommend this as a gaming TV), but in movies it has the effect of making things move rather oddly, seeming to move too fast somehow. It's hard to explain the effect but if you get one you'll know what I mean. Honestly I'm not sure it's bad, it just looks wrong to me so I turn it off.
The other thing worth mentioning is that unlike some flat panels I've seen, the screen has a more matte finish. This is a god send for me as I have the TV in a room that gets a lot of sunlight. It takes the edge off the glare and makes the TV far more usable in non-ideal lighting.
I kept trying to find something wrong with it but so far the only problem I've found is one slightly dead pixel. It shows up green but only if you're sitting way off to one side and it's in a far corner. So in the grand scheme a very minor defect. So can't quite give it the full 5 stars, but that's the only reason why.

The TV is as advertised. Great picture...good blacks, good color, good uniformity. Great features...120Hz, 24p "real cinema", fast response time (LG claims < 4mS), good contrast, great veiwing angle, automatic backlight and picture adjustment with ambient light sensor, multiple video modes, lots of inputs/outputs, etc., etc.
I have been very happy with this and other LG products so far. The only reason for the "almost" is that on-screen feature menus are a little cumbersome, I have not figured out how to get full function out of the remote for my other key components (Receiver and cable/DVR) and the detailed manual came on a DVD vs paper. I prefer paper.
Amazon's free delivery and setup/install service on this product (all large TVs?) is outstanding. Reason enough to choose Amazon over many other retailers and certainly over most mail-order retailers. I got a very good price for the time I bought, but prices are falling so fast I won't share it...it will probably sound high now.
Overall, a great choice for this size TV with comparable features...but do your research...there are a lot of very nice TVs available and LG has already released its newer, "LH" series of TVs.

I cannot watch a movie full screen on this TV. The zoom 1 has to be used to enlarge the picture, and that cuts out part of the picture. There is such a waste of the screen when you watch a picture in 16:9 ratio.
Also, the clarity of the picture is bad on some channels. I get a motion delay when things happen, like a hesitation or shadow behind it. The colors in some channels shows green/blue lines in certain areas. I have called an LG service dealer, and they thought some may be due the cable providers signal being supplied. I am waiting to see if the digital transistion will make it better. If it does not I will be taking the tv back for warranty work or a replacment. I have been somewhat dissatisfied with the product so far. The model in the store did not show these flaws.
I hope these issues can be resolved.

I've had this TV for a little over 6 months and really enjoy it. The picture quality is fantastic in HD and the colors really pop. The black levels could be better and if you have this tv on a shorter stand, the colors tend to wash out when your vantage point is looking down on the tv (standing up). The TV really needs to be at eye level or above to avoid the washing out. Also, you NEED to calibrate this TV. I had it for two months before I found calibration settings online, and WOW what a difference it made. You will get so much more out of this TV if you have it calibrated correctly. I like the matted screen because it reduces glare to almost nonexistent; however you lose a little clarity in dark scenes compared to other LCD's. I previously owned a Samsung 750 and returned it because it had so much glare...but the darks scenes were very clear. I prefer not having the glare with my LG; it's a tradeoff. All in all, i reccomend this TV because the picture quality rivals that of other higher end LCD's, but the price doesn't. Of course there are some drawbacks, but if you are willing accept those drawbacks, you'll save some money and still get a high quality TV.
