I just purchased the LG 47LX9500 and it is amazing, I have yet to see the 3D, but I did get a glimpse out in Europe with a video game and it was amazing.... So I can't wait to see how it looks. The design is flawless and really heavy with a glass protecting the screen. I hooked up my PS3 and played AVATAR bluray and I was blown away (can't wait for the 3D version). I also hooked up my XBOX 360 and it is more than I could ever imagine. I know I'll have this TV for a long time. The price I got for was the kicker, originaly retailed at $3500 I got it at Fry's electronics for a mere $1250 (+tax and 3 year warranty)
NOT BAD DEAL AT ALL.
I would recommend that you wait for the retail price to drop to get this TV from LG. Make sure you get the correct HDMI cable that goes with it as well, and if you are into great sound shop for a good receiver that you can get your speakers pluged into.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful picture - is this the first 480hz LED? Internet apps, January 1, 2011

I've only had this TV for one day but it has been marvelous so far. I wasn't really in the market for a 3D set but I bought this for the great 2D picture. I think it may be the first 480hz refresh rate set out - at least at this screen size. It is amazingly thin and compact for a 47" screen. Set up involves attaching the included table-top stand - 8 screws total. I had no problems in setting up for HDMI inputs. I do not use the built in speaker since I'm running it through a home theater receiver. But before I set up the external audio, I thought the speaker sounded sounded serviceable during set up (about average for flat panel TVs). I do not use any other inputs besides HDMI. SD channels look good while HD channels are quite good. LED achieves excellent black levels. I hooked it up to my router via ethernet cable and it self-updated the firmware immediately. I was able to link to my Netflix account for streaming movies very quickly and play around with widgets -- I like yahoo weather & stocks. Other built in apps include You Tube, and a couple of pay-per-fee streaming video services that look attractive - at least of of them offers rentals cheaper than my sat provider or X-box Live account. I have not purchased 3D glasses (yet) as I don't have any content (yet). I'll update on that when I pull the trigger on 3D.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great TV but..., December 22, 2010

The good: Picture quality is really good. Better than my 47LG50 2008 model.

The bad: Tried to connect my PC via HDMI (GTX 480 mini HDMI to HDMI). PC is using Windows 7 and it won't detect HDCP.
Mouse movement is delayed.
Also, when connected to XBOX 360 via HDMI with Dolby Digital on, TV won't output Dolby Digital sound via Optical output. My hometheater can't detect any DD signal at all.
Even my old 47LG50 can output Dolby Digital sound via Optical output for XBOX 360.
Speaker sound is horrible. It sounds like the speaker is breaking. My old 47LG50 sounds better.

Haven't tried connecting PC via VGA yet. But VGA is worse than HDMI no matter what. Why bothers.
