Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have had this TV for about three weeks now, and I am very impressed. The features are very comprehensive with internet capabilities that not only includes Netflix and Vudu, but also Yahoo Widgets. And every time you enter its internet capabilities, it makes a quick check for updates, so it should be easy to pick up enhancements if/when LG introduces them in the future. The TV comes with two remotes, one of which has a motion sensor (think Wii) so when you wave it in the air it moves a cursor around over menus on the screen. I think that's a great concept and it works well for basic menu function. The USB port reads external hard disks with all of the different content I have thrown at it without any problems, and it has a great interface for navigating the folders.
The picture quality is excellent as compared to the 65 inch 1080P Mitsubishi I replaced, but also as compared to the other 6 TVs in my house. Nothing beats the last generation plasma screens in brilliance and contrast. I actually still find myself starring in amazement at the quality of the picture while watching shows.The 3D features are much more than just a gimmick. I have four 3D movies, of which "A Christmas Carol", "The Grand Canyon", and "Under the Sea" are absolutely spectacular. The latter is provided free with the BX580 3D Blu-ray player after sending in a coupon (I received it in the mail after about two weeks). I wear eye glasses when watching TV, and I was concerned that it would be a hassle to have the 3D glasses "on top" of those, but the 3D effect is good enough to make it worthwhile.
The sound quality of the TV is what you would expect, but isn't of much interest to me since I have it hooked up to a Pioneer VSX-1020 amplifier. Sure sounds great through the amplifier and my Harman Kardon speakers. One item of some concern, however, is that the "HDMI-CEC" (or LG's Simplink) doesn't work quite the way it should with that amplifier and I am not able to fully control the receiver through HDMI. However, using a Harmony remote provides much of the same capabilities.
Mounting a 60 inch plasma is not an easy job (it is heavy, and not easy to lift - even for two people), but it sure pays off with the way this TV looks! It doesn't have a frame in the normal sense. Just one large glass panel. And it looks great - very clean and almost decadent. I used the Simplicity SXDP4 for the mount and it gets it as close to the wall as possible for this TV if you get angled plugs (HDMI, Toslink, and Coax - the last two are only needed if you get over-the-air broadcast), and an Ethernet cable with a very short plug. It's a tight fit, but it looks fantastic!
This TV is excellent in almost every way and highly recommended! I would buy it again in a heartbeat!
**** UPDATE **** I have recently discovered that the audio output (e.g. from the optical out cable) from Netcast (e.g. Vudu, NextFlix, etc.) on this TV is only 2.1, which makes those pay services useless for any serious home theater viewing with this TV (I will instead need to use my LG blu-ray, which is also equipped with Netcast and with true surround sound output). Therefore, I reduced my rating by one star. I sure hope a firmware upgrade can fix this in the future, and that such an upgrade is possible. If you bought the TV and the lack of surround sound from Netcast bothers you, let LG know!
**** UPDATE #2 **** Apparently, LG listened! This evening the TV found new firmware and updated itself, and I am now getting Dolby 5.1 surround sound from Vudu!!! I no longer have any complaints about this TV, and I have now had it for almost two months.
