The TV looked great, but quickly we noticed that any sound on the HDMI ports were delayed by about half a second. I contact LG support and they acknowledged that it needed the "lip sync" upgrade and told me someone locally would be in contact within 7-10 business days to schedule a repair. We're now 15 business days after that date and no local contact. I contact LG again, they apologized but said it would be processed within another 10-14 business days. I will post an update if/when this fix is installed and whether it truly fixes the issue. I'm not sure how a company continutes to ship a TV this expensive with a fault that obvious.

My recommendation is to find an alternative at this point due to poor support.

I've had my 55LH55 for a few days now and its everything I hoped it'd be. HD tv, PS3 and blue ray are all crisp and extremly responsive. I have not had any issue with the lip-sync issue that others are having. It may be due to the fact that I upgraded my HDMI cables to 1.3(which you should do anyway and for the price on Amazon.com you'd be foolish not to). As for the sound it could be a little better, but for a LCD sound system it's not that bad. To be honest though why would you buy this kind of set and not hook it up to 5.1 or 7.1 surround system.

Bottom line is the LG 55LH55 is the LCD you are looking for if you want a mind blowing picture, without blowing a hole in your pocket.

This is a great buy. I priced the LG 50-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV at Best buy near me and it was on sale for the same price as this 55 inch 240 hz. At best buy I would have also had taxes and they wanted 179.00 for shipping. The Picture Quality is excellent and my cable provider is broadcasting in 1080i. I can't wait to see it when broadcasting in 1080p. The Delivery company was very professional, they brought it into my home and waited until I inspected everything. I will definitely look on Amazon.com again when ready to make other purchases. Very Happy with everything.

After a bumpy but eventual reciept of the TV, we were happy with the end product. It looks really nice and the picture on HD channels and Blue Ray is incredible. The refresh rate can sometimes not catch up with the action on the TV and you can see some blur of the figure, but that is very infrequent. Non HD channels are pretty grainy depending on the channel and program - part of that is comparing HD to non HD. I am working with LG on the lip synch issue with certain channels where the audio is behind the video - apparently this is common. They are sending me a software update to address the problem...we'll see if that works. Otherwise the price was right ($1680) and the TV looks great hanging on the wall!

I agree with some of the other reviews, picture on Blu-Ray is amazing. The price point of the television makes it hard to justify an LED right now. This TV is less than half the price of an LED and the quality is on par. Off angle viewing is a bit dim, but for the money, it is not a factor.

I have an LG blu-ray player with a $[..] HDMI cable (thank you Amazon!) and the two complement each other perfectly. The DVD remote works with the TV and vice versa. Only negative is with a TV this big, if your video source isn't perfect you will see it for sure. For example I stream Netflix and the picture can be blurry at times.

Bottom line, with a TV this big, don't even bother watching something unless it is HD quality. Do your self a favor, buy this TV, only use HDMI (cheap ones on Amazon) and set a time limit, the TV is addictive! Enjoy.

From ordering the TV to the delivery and setup, this was the easiest purchase! The price was right and the quality is outstanding. We read other reviews that claimed to have sound issues but ours couldn't be better. This picture is amazing, and when watching a blu ray disc you feel like you're standing right there! The HD channels come through with true clarity and even regular channels look great. All in all, we decided that our old tv might as well have been in black in white because this one is really that awesome!!

Just bought this and received it this week from Amazon. Delivery was thorough and they made sure it worked before they would leave.

Picture quality is better than I thought it would be. Better than any plasma I've seen. I knew it would be good with the 240hz but it is really really good! I ran thru it's own calibration on set up so no need to pay Best Buy $300 for that, what a joke that is. And, be sure to buy the 1.3 HDMI cables to ensure a quality signal, I run mine off of a Direct HD DVR. I bought the cables from Amazon supercheap plus a metal cheetah mount for less than $100 for two cables and the mount!

This TV is a steal for the price and the quality. The blacks are super dark, the colors vibrant and picture is clear as a bell. HD the way it is meant to be seen.

Only downside is the lack of bass response from the in cabinet speakers but thats what surround sound systems are for!

I looked far and wide to try to find a TV that comes close to the features that this LH55LH has for the money. Amazon.com was far and away the lowest price when everything was considered. I even went to the local dealer to look see what I was buying and gave them the price I could get on line, with free shipping, delivered to my home and the owner informed me that he paid more than that for the ones he sells in his store and that there in no way any one can sell for that price and he would guarantee me that I cannot buy it for that price either, because when I submit the order, they will add this and that and other things to the price. The price quoted is the price I paid and it was delivered in a timely fashion to my living room and brand-new in the factory box. How you do it, I don't know, but keep up the good work and I'll use you again when I need to purchase something else. Amazon.com is amazing!

Nice TV, crisp picture, colors are vibrant with streaming action (1080i/p mode). When it comes to the refresh rate, I could not tell the difference from the 120Hz model so I'm not convinced there's an improvement. The on-screen menus are intuitive and easily accessible. Predefined viewing modes make it easy to adjust for lighting conditions without going through the tedious process of manually adjusting backlight and color levels.

Overall a great buy.

This was a great purchase. The cost was $800 less than the same item in local stores. The delivery person actually off loaded the set and did total set up to make sure that it worked. The only issue I have with this purchase is that the operation manual is on CD (as most items are these days) so its a hassle to open up the CD when questions arise on operation. Other than this minor item I have had no issues with this purchase.

PS- The 120 Mhz version of this set is still tracking at a HIGHER cost in local retail stores than the online price for the 240 Mhz version.
