5.0 out of 5 stars Wireless makes my TV look great over the fireplace, December 14, 2009

This review is from: LG 55LHX 55-Inch LCD HDTV, Gloss Black (Electronics)

The number one reason why I got this unit was for the size and the wireless HD capabilities.
I hang this unit over the fireplace with Sanus VMPL50B wallmount.
The TV is about 60lbs, so you will need a friend to help you hang it up on the wall.
The screws for wall mounting was already attach to the TV which was great.
Once I have on the wall and after I plug in the power behind the TV, NO MORE other wires are needed. I put the wireless media box which came with the set about 10 feet away with no direct line of sight and was able to show HD tv with great clarity WIRELESSly... this is a great feature.

I have wireless phone, internet and head sets which did not cause any interference with this TV.

The 55LHX's lg logo on the TV is where the TV's receiver is, so if you stand right in front, you will see some static or no picture as you are no blocking the signal. But, I will know to avoid to stand right in front of the TV :)

The viewing angle is good, I tilt it downwards about 12 degrees for less glare. The TV screen do not reflect much, but the black frame does.

Just a note, with the 240HZ True motion on, sports looks very life like; but on movies it looks 3D ish, so shut I had to shut it off. Now I know why a 240Hz tv can possibly view 3d movies.

I have a Pioneer plasma which still looks way better than this TV, but this TV is as good if not better than my sharp Aquos. So, maybe its a settings thing.

There are lots of settings, but I have yet to find the best one, so please leave me a comment if you know what the best settings are....

5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV but too expensive at Amazon, December 10, 2009

This is a perfect HDTV set with a great wireless media console which avoids the necessity of having a million wires going up to the screen unit. The wireless connection to the screen works flawlessly with absolutely no interference-induced flickering, but I have my console right in front of the set. Come to think of it, where else would I put it when I want to control the television set while I am watching it?

The picture is sharp and bright, and it has loads of wonderful features. It is backlit with local dimming, and this set really does have "blacker blacks." The contrast ratio is 5 million to one. Setup was a breeze.

The only thing I want to mention is that Best Buy is selling this same HDTV for $2999.98 including delivery and setup, five hundred dollars cheaper than Amazon is offering it. That is a surprise to me, because Amazon normally has the lowest prices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! The Ultimate TV, August 14, 2010

Overall Rating 5 out of 5 "Have gone through about 10 TVs since 2006. Samsungs, Sharpes, Sonys and even other LGs. Always finding something either lacking or a problem that got to be annoying enough for me to start looking for another set. When I heard about the Matte Screen disappearing, to be replaced with these new super thin reflective models with their own problems caused by compromises to the LED system, decided to jump on the super deal LG had in it's 55LHX model. This use to be their top of the line with the top of the line pricing to go with it: now affordable, Matte screen, Wireless (I don't use it), and incredible Blacks and Colour. Some minor Picture Wizard tweaking, THX Values put in Expert 1 and 2, transfer the Picture Wizard settings to Expert 2 and THX. Drop the Backlight down on Expert 1 and THX to 10 for evening viewing. Expert 2 for Day. The result, the Ultimate TV I've been looking for! No desire to buy any more TVs!
LED count 3360 - the new Models 920 - so figure it out more, means Better! The Panel itself Black! Not Greyish. Can't go wrong with this purchase!"Would you recommend this product as a gift?
