Product Description
Displays HDTV programs in full 1920 x 1080p resolution for a more detailed picture.Unlike other sensors which can only sense brightness of ambient light, LG's "Intelligent Sensor" uses 4,096 sensing steps to evaluate its surroundings. Using a sophisticated algorithm, the LG processes picture quality elements including brightness, contrast, color, sharpness and white balance. The result is a picture optimized for it's surroundings, more pleasing to watch and which can also save up to 50% in power consumption.The AV Mode optimizes the picture into Cinema, Sports, and game Mode according to the video and audio content. The viewer has the ability to quickly choose the correct mode for the picture they are viewing.Automatically enhances and amplifies the sound of human voice frequency range to help keep dialog audible when background noise swells.This TV contains the detailed calibrations necessary for professional certification by the Imaging Science Foundation. The resulting ISF "day" and "night" modes will then be accessible by the user to experience the best their LG HDTV has to offer.

 Hand shake issues with PS3 and HDMI October 9, 2009
Oscar Ocampo (Boynton Beach, FL)
If you own a PS3 and want to connect it to this TV, DON'T BUY THIS TV. I also have issues with the PS3 Blu-ray player even with Composite cables. It is extremely frustrating. I bought a $900 + TV and I am only able to use it to watch HD programming through cable. Beware!!!!!
 Give me a second chance! August 8, 2009

I found that out of the box the picture was very poor, tried all the preset picture modes (Vivid, Standard, Cinema etc) still crap. However, once I adjusted the individual settings, i.e. turned the sharpness way down and modified colour and backlight, the picture was outstanding. So different in fact I could not believe it was the same TV. I watch alot of HD sport and blu-ray movies at a viewing distance of 12 feet and can not fault it for the money. No image "fox-trailing"/image blur. Don't get me wrong I would have loved to have brought Panasonic 1080p plasma for better contrast ratio but could not afford or justify the extra money. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - just don't trust the preset picture settings. My fav settings, Backlight 21 - Contrast 79 - Brightness 62 - Color 75 - Sharpness 0 - Tint G7
 poor quality or defective June 12, 2009

I ordered this TV based on the reviews and I was disappointed. The TV was fuzzy in spots, but not enough for me to be sure it was defective. However, based on this reviews, i assume it has to be. The HDTV channels are clear except for certain areas are blurry. Edges around graphics sometimes come in blurry. Especially bad with sports programming. The non HDTV channels came in worse than my old tube TV. I had cable come to check the connection, no issues there. I plugged it in to where I haave another hdtv (which works great) and it was blurry there too.
I returned it and ordered the Panasonic plasma G10 - it's on its way.
Great picture - not that great sound May 18, 2009

This is the first HD tv I have ever purchased, but I have lived with roommates for over 4 years that have owned HD tvs the entire time.
I am very satisfied with the picture on this TV (for the price). The blacks looks very deep, and TimeWarner cable looks awesome, as do xbox 360 games and BluRay discs.
My only gripe is the sound. Sometimes I have to turn it up near the maximum volume of 100 to hear things properly, and the speakers have a very noticeable rattle to them, even when they are not cranked all the way up.
I got a killer deal on this TV around Christmas time, and I'm planning to hook up surround sound to eliminate the quiet/rattling speakers problem, so overall I'm very satisfied.
Best Value...period! May 18, 2009

This TV is fantastic. We used it at our trade show booth with an LG Blu-Ray disk player and the video and sound quality was tremendous. We received many compliments on it and we couldn't have been happier! For the money, you can't buy a better product, thanks so much!
