   The only 2 tv companies u should consider is Sony OR LG, they put mattie screens on most of there sets.
   
   I have been repairing sets for the last 5yrs and the only sets that r worth the money r Sony or LG ,because of the mattie screens (which r the best out there )

   Was considering the Sony 46ex500 and was just about to purchase it, when I seen this LG on sale for 999.00 and this set had 200,000-1 contrast and 240 hz and the sony had 150000-1 and 120 hz.
   
   So for the same price and picture looking very sharp, no brainer.

   Picture- the HD picture is amazing almost like 3d, but in 2d , 3d is over rated just good for certain movies, no need to pay for that extra affect, this set will give u great unbeleiveable picture.
   
   Digital Picture – is good plus LG gives u the ability to expand the picture and still stay clear.
   
   SD Picture – is fair, but all the flat panel sets R the same.

   Sound – the sound with clear 2 voice sys is good, not great but for tv sound sys pretty good.

   Do not waste your time on plasma or LED sets which r over price , this set is just as good.

   Would buy again, save your moeny and buy this top of the line LG SET.

   Looked at TVs for 3 months before making a decision after my 42″ Panasonic Plasma died with a maximum of $1500 to spend. My first idea was to buy a Plasma again but I think it died due to how hot my room would get because of it, then I moved on to the LED TVs and wasnt impressed with the picture quality when I compared it to these 3 TVs.

   I dont want to write a few thousand words so I am basically going to put this in a real simple explanation.

   If your considering buying an LED LCD please go look at this TV or Samsungs LN650 or Sony HX701 I guarantee it will make you think twice about purchasing an LED TV based on the picture quality alone.

   So why did I purchase this over Samsungs LN650 and Sony HX701?

   Well it has a higher contrast ratio (Same as Sony), the response time is 2ms (Samsungs LCD & LEDS are 4ms couldnt find Sonys), it has a 240hz refresh rate (Sony has 240hz, Samsung 120hz)

   THE MAIN PROBLEM WHICH I READ ABOUT IS THE AUDIO/VISUAL LAG via HDMI connection in both the Sony and Samsung TV. I have had NO PROBLEMS AT ALL and YES I DO RUN THE TV THROUGH A RECEIVER! (ONKYO HTR557) Ive watched HD, SD, DVD, and played Xbox360 with no audio/visual lag! I did notice this problem on the Samsung in 1 store. Also the Sony Model is a Canadian Model which you will only find at Costco in the US.

   CONCLUSION: One thing that bothered me was that I couldnt find much information about this TV online but usually people will be quick to speak up when something is wrong with a product. The main thing I can say is the picture quality on all 3 TVs are great in this order 1)LG 2)Sony 3) Samsung. I cant comment on the sound because I use a surround sound. I have no had any problems with uneven back lighting, clouding, or audio/ visual lag. The only pain about this TV is mounting it because LG expects you to purchase a VESA wall mount. In other words the screws that usually screwed into the back of a TV to mount it to a wall are not included. I did find out that it is an M6 screw in the manual but it doesnt say the length. I recommend a 1/2inch M6 screw just to be on the safe side. Hope this review helped!

   A little update….so far the TV have been worth every penny spent. Been watching a lot of DVD’s and HD & SD content, playing Xbox360 and watching netflix. Unfortunately I havent experimented with the netflix on the actual TV because my router has no more ports for the TV but I do play netflix through my Xbox and it does look great 98% of the time. Im having a hard time getting a good picture watching sports though but I figure it needs some adjustments to get it just how I want it *might just me being to picky* Everything else looks great. The Picture Wizard adjuster is pretty good and will give you the results you want…its not a professional calibration but it does what its supposed to do. The intelligent sensor option tends to always make the picture very dark so thats a downer but who really cares for something thats going to consistently adjust your picture due to how lit the room is. So other then what I wrote before about the manual not including or mentioning what kind of screws to use to mount this TV to the wall mount…I would say get a full motion wall mount because the viewing angles can be a little tough to get used too coming from watching a plasma TV.

   Cons: Speaker volume doesn’t go nearly high enough. Intelligent Sensor and TruMotion are horrible, but they can be turned off. Time display is military style only.
   
   Pros: Everything else! Clear Voice is awesome. Screen is as matte as they get — minimal reflection compared to ultra-shiny Samsung etc. Vudu movies are easy and cheap — 1080i works great via my slow-speed cable internet; 1080p 5.1 if you have super-high-speed internet.

   This is my second LG LCD TV purchase with in a year. This 240Hz model really stands out, I have TW cable HD with HBO package hooked up, and this thing make a total difference on picture quality, in some channels it is truly amazing, the sound quality is again superb as recognized by many LG users. Remote control has a major improvement, I just cannot get enuff off the “Q.MENU” button. Picture Wizard feature allows user more freedom to custom setting, plenty of HDMI ports, A/V ports, USB ports, everyone in the family enjoys it. Considering the current LED-backlight, 3D LED-backlight higher-cost models from LG, this one is a steal. My next 55″ will be another LG, yeah, S-IPS panel, 178 degree viewing angle, loving it!

   I ordered this TV but it never arrived. The tracking number provided by CEVA, the shipper that Amazon hired, never worked and I was never able to tell where the TV was. I contacted Amazon to ask what happened to the TV and after a long wait, they said the TV was found and that it would arrive shortly. It never did, so I wrote again to cancel the order. But now Amazon refuses to refund me until they get the TV back – as if they hold me responsible .

   I found out some very interesting things about Amazon since this began:

   1) It takes 1 or 2 days for Amazon to get back to you now. Thats just horrible customer support.

   2) Amazon said they talked to CEVA, their shipping company, “on my behalf” – as if this was a problem between me and CEVA and that Amazon had nothing to do with it. I am not CEVA’s customer. Amazon hired them. This is a problem between Amazon and CEVA. All I did was place an order in good faith.

   3) And finally, Amazon tells me they arent going to refund me until they get the TV back. They are punishing me because they hired the wrong shipper! What if CEVA has lost it, does that mean I dont get my money back? What if it takes CEVA a month to return it, will I have to wait that long?

   I have purchased several thousand dollars worth of goods from Amazon, and I cannot believe they would treat me in this way. I can tell you one thing for sure – but I will NEVER buy from them again.
