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.

I have had this TV for just under 2 months and after a software update the other night two separate bands about 6 inches wide appeared on the screen. I will reserve further comment on this issue until I see how LG fixes this problem. A technician is scheduled to look at the TV in a few days. Prior to this problem I have had no issues with the TV. The picture quality is fantastic and overall use is easy. The NetCast feature is great for a TV. I am using the wireless adapter on this TV and have had no issues with streaming. Like others have said the sound can be a bit of a downer. I have connected the TV and Blue Ray player to a home theater system so it does not bother me too much. Overall I was extremely satisfied with this TV until the other night. My feelings are I prefer for LG to replace this unit with a new one since this should not have occurred. I also have an 47" model of this same TV and am keeping my fingers crossed.
Has the best quality picture ever, looks better than anything I have been to live. Missed this TV during vacation trying to watch a lesser quality 32" was just terrible but I had all my shows on DVR so it was great to see all that I missed on a smaller, lesser picture.

This tv has the best picture I have seen. No glare in my large 18 x20 Ft living area. the issue i have seen 2 or 3 times is on power up. the picture is faded pink and seems to be locked up this has only happened maybe 2 o 3 times 6 months apart. I power it off and repower with it correcting to the best picture I have ever seen.

absolutely a wonderful tv. picture is crisp & clear. HD broadcasts or 1080p viewing is like a window into another place. Blu-ray then takes that to a whole other level. only "downside" is weak sound, but that is typical for thin bodied tvs. dvds go thru the av receiver anyway so that becomes moot. can't beat this set.

For the price, this is an excellent television. The screen does not have a significant glare, the viewing angle is excellent, the picture is in my opinion better than the 240Hz Samsung LED UN46D7000. Purchase of a wireless component is required for Youtube, Netflix, Flikr, etc. access....but it was fairly inexpensive online. Also, it doesn't seem that LG has plans to add additional features to the wireless services as 'Coming Soon' has been one of the options for the last year.

This was my first HDTV and all I have to say is wow. BluRays all look as if they were live. No tracking or ghosting of fast action scenes. Completely sold on the LG brand.

We bought this LED TV about 5 months ago. EXCELLENT! Pretty easy to hook-up with anything. The network feature works well (you have to get a separate wireless USB dongle to work wirelessly, but you can also hook-up direct to the internet via a network cable to your router). Adjusting the settings to get it to work was pretty easy -- almost automatic. I've really enjoyed watching NetFlix and VUDU from the TV without needing to hookup my laptop. But when it comes to NetFlix, I have one complaint: it plays all movies in full-screen "HD-style" video. Of course, not all movies are formatted as HD movies. For those movies you need to watch them with an incorrect aspect ratio -- people look squashed, etc. When you're watching TV/cable/video you can simply enter the menu and adjust the aspect ratio to match the program you're watching (or simply let it "auto-detect" the signal and adjust itself). But unfortunately, when you're watching NetFlix you can't adjust the aspect ratio -- it's just "hardwired" to full-screen mode. Otherwise, it's an excellent TV and I would recommend it to anyone. Much better than any others I compared to prior to purchase.

I did a lot of research before choosing a new TV. This one stood out both in the reviews and in the store. This TV was incredibly easy to mount and set up. The picture is so beautiful I just can't take my eyes off it. The wireless network is very convenient and I love being able to download firmware updates and Netflix directly to the TV. Also purchased LG sound system and it feels like being in a theater. Highly recommend this TV. I have owned since just before Christmas.

What a great TV. Picture is incredible...sometimes seems like 3D. Easy to use and setup. Sleek. Plenty of inputs. Only thing lacking is Audio Outputs for surround if you are streaming movies. There are ways around that though, depending on your other equipment.

Q:
I got LG 55LM4600, after struggling a lot I could find perfect picture setting and without proper setting the the picture was very dark.Here comes the issue - When I play 1080p 2D video it looks awesome but if you switch to 3D mode and then come back to 2D mode I realised the picture setting are reset and again it was dark picture and again I have to research the on setting. LG customer services said it is happening and nothing can be done for this. Has anybody encountered this issue ? If yes is there any fix/workaround for this ?
