Outstanding!! -- I bought this product after looking at quite a few different brands. I was not let down. The 240Hz is perfect for sports and fast moving shows with a lot of action -- picture quality is A-1, sharp and very clear and does NOT blur with fast and quick action. Has many different functions than a person can use to change the format that he or she likes best. The menu interface is very EASY to use and gives many options with input, picture, and audio settings. A real great feature is "clear voice" which sharpens normal speach and makes hearing easier especially with a lot of background noise. Also if watching a DVD the TV remembers the settings that are programmed into that particular imput even though they may be different from the settings while watching normal TV channels. A person doesn't have to re-program each time you watch a DVD or other optional component.
For myself for what I want--A really great HDTV choice

Bang For The Buck

Although a plethora of internet reviews spoke of sync issues between lip and audio, looking beyond the picture sometimes requires learning how to use the remote control, or reading the manual.

On first power on, as stated in other posts & forums, watching Standard Definition cable seemed to have some significant delay. This is only because TruMotion is on. Once turned off, SD was in sync, with no issues.

In HD, this, you can indeed turn it back on, to get that dimensional quality some viewers enjoy so much. But its not necessary. And once again. External audio system or internal, this TV functions as it should given a proper run thru the menu. Out of the box, the settings reflect an ideal HD demonstration.

As far as the clarity of this TV, I give it 2 thumbs up. Colors are stunning and pop just enough to make you feel like like your in it. Black remain deep and it looks great in all lighting.

For the price of what your finding here thru the Amazon channels. You really cant get a better TV at the price. Perhaps you could pay 300 more for a sony logo and a but more rugged enclosure. But I dont need a television defense system, just a darn good tv at a darn good price.

If your in the 1k market. Spring for it. You wont be disappointed.

Head-to-Head with a Panasonic G15 Plasma - LG 47LH55 WINS!

Review Date: December 26, 2009

Always thought I would buy a plasma but after a salesman strongly recommended the 240Hz LG LCD decided to give it a go. However, after purchasing this 47LH55 model wasn't sure if a quality plasma would better fit my viewing preferences and since I would be living with a new TV for a few years decided to do a live comparison in my home.
So... purchased a Panasonic plasma 50 inch G15 to compare directly to the 47 inch LG - with one TV being returned at the end of it all. Both TV's are upper-mid range models so it was a pretty fair head-to-head comparison.
To allow a dynamic comparison, purchased a 2 port HDMI 1x2 powered splitter ver 1.3 certified for full HD 1080P with deep color & HD audio and max bandwidth of 10.2Gbps to allow watching identical channels simultaneously whether in HD, SD cable feeds and 1080P blu-ray. Wanted the best HDMI splitter available, as the signal had to be accurate to both displays - also used identical high quality HDMI cables for all connections.
Both are great TV's, but the nod went to the LG for more than a couple of reasons.
Compared them straight out of the box. Neither TV was calibrated. Used the standard setting on both TV's.
The LG displayed SD much better than the Panasonic. The Panasonic was soft with SD and the LG was much sharper.
Both displayed HD cable (720P/1080i) with differences. Both were excellent, the LG was sharper with a more video look and the Panasonic had more a film-look. Liked the Panasonic plasma film look here. (more on that, later)
The Panasonic didn't have the ability to scale SD 4:3 text to the screen. Any text scroll, such as at the bottom of CNN, was chopped off on both sides of the text.?? Couldn't figure out how to fix it - maybe it can be done but couldn't find out how. Big nod to LG.
Liked the LG's intelligent room light sensor. Also the LG ran cooler and used much less energy even though this new G15 model is now rated Energy Star efficient. Ambient light reflection wasn't an issue as both have good reflective screen coatings.
The LG LCD was capable of much brighter display. The Panasonic was very good for a plasma but clearly not in the same ball park. I found the black levels on the LG very good maybe not quite as good as the Panasonic but still excellent. Blu-ray, from a new model Playstation 3, looked spectacular on both sets. However, everything better about the LG still applies.
Was able to save almost $450 with the LG. Got excellent deals on both but the LG was more price competitive, in Canada. If the Panasonic had been superior would have bit the difference, since the LG was already scoring better on almost everything it was a no-brainer here.
The speakers on the Panasonic weren't even close to the quality of the LG's built-in speakers. Have a great Onyko 807 receiver but don't always want the surround sound on. Nice to have reasonable sounding speakers in the TV when a quick and dirty news story comes on. Big vote to the LG on TV only sound.
The Panasonic ability to link directly to the internet would be important if I didn't already have the capability with an internet ready, Onyko receiver and WD TV Live. I was only interested in how these TV's displayed image and how they sounded. Also much preferred LG's excellent, quick on-screen menu with easy/fast video, sound & display choices on the Panasonic menu options.
Finally, The LG allows *serious* white balance calibration over the Panasonic plasma. *Ten levels* of white balance. As mentioned earlier, liked how the Panasonic displayed a nice film softness with high-def movies, so decided to try and tweak the colour and white balance in one of the two, expert settings on the LG. Found an expert setup of white balance variables to input - from a specific review and their calibration variables found online. >[...]<
After that, the LG was every bit as good as the Panasonic dispaying high-def movies. The LG now had a film lushness, too.
I started the whole comparison process thinking I would end up spending the extra money for the Panasonic plasma. I kept finding myself surprised at how good this LG model was in direct comparison. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. This same calibration site quoted gave the LG 93 points overall (94 points for value) with the Panasonic G10 model (last model they had reviewed) only receiving 90.87 points overall with a 91 points for value. Both are excellent TV's but the LG just had too much going for it.
Surprised, I boxed the Panasonic and returned it.
Hope this helps anyone trying to decide.

very nice

My parents bought an LG last year, and we always admired its picture. To be sure, we recently went to a large retail store to compare other brands and models, and we selected this model. We also purchased a 55 inch LED (also LG), and we're very happy with both, but I think this one actually has the better picture. Definitely use an HDMI cable with it--makes a huge difference.
