This is the first HDTV I’ve ever purchased and I feel good about it. It’s a beautiful picture, right out of the box. It took me about 10 minutes to unpack, another 5 to connect, and another 5 to configure. Out of the box, I have zero complaints about the picture settings. So far, the only thing in the image I dislike is the halo around candles/bulbs in a really dark setting. Other than that, this is a fantastic t.v.! You can view the image from any angle and the tru-motion/local dimming features make for a significantly sharp/contrasted image. Once in a while, you get a guy that has been working on t.v.s his whole life and starts bashing every little non-perfect thing about a t.v., but if you work, eat food, and watch t.v., this LG is for you! Energy Star, 120Hz, LED backlit, VESA 200×200 mounting, anti-reflective screen, super easy menu system, amazing picture….. come on!
I received this from amazon’s warehouse; whoever returned it clearly didn’t tweak (or know how to tweak) the picture sets for optimum performance. After playing around with all the pix options – and there are a lot of choices – I ended up with video that was incredible….an amazing improvement on my 3yr old sharp (which I had thought was really great.) The picture is sharp, the colors natural, the depth and the blacks superb. For folks who haven’t a clue how to set up the picture, there are plenty of sites like sound&vision or PC world or pc mag who list their particular preferences.
The gents who delivered were awesome….set it up and made sure it worked. Applause for amazon’s service here.
Have no comment on audio since I use my own sound system.
