I did extensive research on LCD televisions prior to my purchase last week. The reviews for this product were great and so far this product is meeting the very high expectations that I had for it!

This TV has a great picture, but it has a flaw. If you wall mount this wouldn't apply. The TV leans to the right, the service tech thinks it is made with too much internal weight on the right side causing the lean. (when he took off the back panel there is more weight on the right side, 1 circuit board and a bracket, he claims that is enough weight to cause the problem) The tech has replaced the stand, the internal bracket that the stand slides into - all with no change. If you look at a 42" or the 47", I have the 47", and apply the slightest pressure to the edge, upper right and left pushing down, you'll fell the TV gives more on the right side. Stand or sit back the 10 to 15 feet that you'll be using and it will be leaning!
Too bad because the TV seems good other than that.
LG doesn't seem to have an answer. I'm not sure yet what their plan is.

After doing some reading, I narrowed down my choices to two HDTVs: LG 47LH90 LED LCD and Panasonic P50V10 Plasma.
I have bought LG 47LH90 for $1299 from SEARS and Panasonic P50V10 Plasma for $1797 from [...] (sorry Amazon but your pricing is not competitive).
I like about LG 47LH90:
1. As all LCDs, it is energy efficient (uses 1/3 as much energy as plasma)
2. Very good black-levels, thanks to LED technology (but not as good as plasma)
3. Relatively lighter weight (less stress on my back than from the heavier plasma)
I do not like about LG 47LH90:
1. Very poor off-angle performance (plasma does not have this problem)
2. Because it uses LEDs, there is some annoying blooming (plasma does not have this problem)
3. Dejudder processing and antiblur functions cannot be separated (not a problem to watch sports, but not good if you want the best possible picture while watching DVDs)
4. 240Hz refresh rate improves the blurring in motion, but it does not fix it completely - there is still blurring in motion (plasma does not have this problem)
In short, in terms of picture quality, LG 47LH90 LED-LCD is a very good imitation of a plasma HDTV, but the technology is still lagging behind (not as good as plasma).
Yesterday, I have returned my LG 47LH90 LCD and kept P50V10 plasma. I will wait a few years for LCD technology to catch up before considering buying another LCD HDTV.

LG has a serious audio/video synchronization problem with this TV. We bought this TV at a local big box store. We loved the picture. But...the TV is not properly decoding ATSC signals (OTA HD) when encoded as Dolby DTS with 720p video. The audio lags the video, and the video is choppy and then fast forwards to catch up. LG customer service is TERRIBLE. The telephone support is staffed by folks who are challenged by the english language and although the internet chat support is polite and courteous, they are unable to tell us when (if at all) a fix will be availble. This is the last LG product we will buy. Stick with Samsung or Sony, we have purchased many Samsung and Sony products and have never been dissapointed like this.

This is a great TV. It's large. It's 240Hz for smooth motion. The quality of the color is excellent when you select the THX picture setting. The menu is simple for things like channel selection, but it has the advanced picture settings when you need to do minor tweaks to the picture quality.
I was trying to decide between the Samsung 8000 series and this one. The Samsung model had network connectivity, but no Netflix connectivity. Other LG models had Netflix connectivity, but this model has no network connectivity. The Samsung had a glossy display, and the LG has a glossy border with a matte finish for the display. Due to the lighting in the room with the TV, the matte finish made more sense to reduce the reflections from the lights in the room. Both have no significant picture difference between them, and they're among the best picture quality you can currently find. The Samsung is much thinner and lighter than the LG model. Both currently have the lowest energy consumption ratings for their size, and that's because of the LED light usage in the TV. The LG model has no S-video input, but it has several HDMI inputs, which is what you really need.
The biggest difference between the two models was price. This LG TV was a few hundred dollars cheaper for the same picture quality. At least I couldn't see the difference in various TV stores.
Some other people mentioned that there were some sound sync issues, but I haven't noticed it (with and without my audio receiver). Based on other reviews, it seems like it depends on the version of the TV firmware version and the video devices you're using. You can request an update if you encounter it, but with over the air TV and the Dish Network receiver, it wasn't a problem. If sound quality is really a concern, get a real sound system with a subwoofer.
If you still occasionally watch standard definition TV, and you're watching within 12 feet of the TV, I wouldn't go larger than this size. This issue is not unique to this model. Pretty much every TV this size or larger has a fuzzy picture for standard definition video when viewed up close. Also if you're not using HDMI cables for your video, like RCA cables (yellow/white/red colored cables), you're reducing the quality of the video. You really need to use HDMI cables when viewing a local high definition source.

Deep black levels and accurate color help propel the LED-backlit LG LH90 series into the front row of the LCD picture quality class.
