Great TV shipping problem reflective screen an issue I bought this to replace an earlyadopter Sharp LCD when the monitor was separate from another electronics box that was six years old with the goal to get far better video. This has been achieved and I sold the old one to someone who will use it as a 45 gaming monitorhe may be disappointed with the response times. I've had this product for a few days now so here's a review of the process and the product.1. Delivery quite fast I'm in NM it was shipped from Phoenix so I had hopes it would endure minimal handling.2. Delivery condition bad. The manufacturer's box was the shipping container and it arrived via UPS with a long gash in the box noted by the UPS guy. The styrofoam packing pieces were also somewhat broken. Turns out by chance that it was the backside of the product but something got far in to make a little dent in the metal. So I was anxious to get the product set up to see that it functioned correctlyOK. A problem for LG When the two straps are removed the top is lifted from the base of the package but the bottom packaging is insufficient to hold the unit uprightbe prepared to lean it on something. Better don't start unpacking before moving the box to very near to the product destination.The product is heavy70 lb with stand and requires two able people to handle. I have a broken foot but we were able to get'er done.
Great set but not perfect The picture quality of my LG 47LE8500 is outstanding sharp picture deep blacks accurate colors. There is an infinite number of ways to adjust the picture in the expert modes so you can make the picture look even more stunning. When shopping for a set this one stood out above all the others in several retail stores I went to in regards of picture quality and color accuracy. It certainly beat out the Sharp Quattron series which is the 4 led technology in regards to color and picture quality. A word of warning to those who purchase this set DO NOT TAKE THE PLASTIC SHEET OFF OF THE FRONT OF THE SET!!! LG should have made a note of this fact because I like many others who have reviewed this set made the mistake of doing that thinking it was a shipping protection cover. Nope LG says it is necessary for getting a better picture although the phone tech could not say why. In any casewith mine removed I have not noticed any difference in picture quality the screen is highly reflective with or without the sheet. Taking the sheet off WILL void certain warranty issues.I'll cut to the chase and tell you first what I don't like about the set as in other reviews on this site amateur and professional and in forums there is the issue of noticeable horizontal banding when the picture is very bright such as sky solid color animation the Rhapsody in Blue sequence in the Bluray of Fantasia 2000 is a great example or light scenes. To a hard core purest it could be very annoying but the majority of the time you will not see it. The next issue is screen glare. I have my LG recessed in a cabinet and a dark viewing room so this is not a big issue with me. However you will see reflections if you have windows lamps and so forth in your viewing area much like a CRT screen. The THX bright room setting will help with most of a rooms glare artifacts and you can boost the backlight and brightness and contrast however this will make the horizontal banding more apparent.
THIS TV IS FABULOUS I did a LOT of research on HD LED TV's before purchasing this one right after Christmas. It had great professional critic reviews as well as good customer reviews. It was an excellent choice for us and we love it. It was easy to set up and easy to perfect your personal preferences with the quality of the picture and audio. I did purchase a soundbar for the audio and it's great. The screen on this one is glass so if you have a very bright room you may want to consider purchasing one with a matte finish because it is reflective. We only have lamps in our living room for lighting so it works very well for us. If you have a lot of windows that face the screen then I wouldn't recommend this one. Other than that this TV has excellent picture quality. I also purchased the LG usb dongle for a wireless internet connection and it was simple to set up and use. Took just a few minutes. Now we watch all the Netflix movies we want. My husband is in love with it.
Incredible TV We've had this set for a few weeks and couldn't be happier. I set it up with no help which is no small feat as I'm not the handiest person. The picture was perfect after some basic tuning with the picture wizard included in the set. I reduced the red and blue saturation a bit and changed some other settings to ones I found suggested on CNET. The quality is so good it's like looking through a window at the real thing. I didn't have any problem at all removing the plastic film as noted by other reviewers. We've hardly noticed any glare from the glass panel but I can say the depth of the picture is phenomenal hence the reason they did the glass panel. With 4 HDMI and 2 USB inputs it eliminated the hassle of daisy chaining peripherals together. The remote has some cool features that bring this set into the 21st century such as Widgets that let you go to YouTube or get a local weather forecast at the touch of a button. I can't report any cons to this set now that the price has dropped. I don't see any other TV's out there with a comparable 240 Hz refresh rate local dimming and 9 million to one contrast ratio.
Amazing LCD for cinema! While some complain about reflections being an issue I have found that as long as I keep any sources of glare directly off the screen particularly directly behind your seating position glare is hardly an issue. Off axis viewing is superb as well as color accuracy and contrast. I DO highly suggest you get your set professionally calibrated for the best viewing experience. This model supports the highest level of calibration possible unlike most consumer grade LCD sets.For use in a dimmed home theater setting I have seen few sets that can equal the quality of the image. with the exception of extremely highend plasma displays costing many times the cost of this.The swivel base is both nice looking glass covered and proves to be handy when making connections on the back or for different seating arrangements.
Incredible Picture! I am extremely pleased with this TV so I bought another one 55 with 3D. Inky blacks I mean really black as black as black can be. Beautiful colors. Easy set up with Image Science Foundation approved calibration controls. THX certified picture. There aren't many TVs that are to THX certification standards for picture quality & acurate reproduction of color. The speakers are not very good. The Picture & ease of set up are fantastic. The remote is very good. The TV looks great even when its not on like a work of modern art! BUy it you won't regret it.
Put my money where my mouth keyboard is. Did A LOT of research prior to purchasing this unit. Long story short everything I read pointed me to this unit. I then checked the unit and setup at many locations until I finally pulled the trigger. The main concern I had prior to purchasing this unit was the glare that I observed as well as is documented in other product reviews on this unit. This is a result of the solid glass panel which covers the entire screen.
Without a Doubt the Best LED TV Non 3D for the Money This LG 47LE8500 has an amazing picture and really is the absolute BEST LED TV Non 3D thats out there for this price. I ended up getting mine for just under $1500. I took a very long time to make my decision for the TV. I was not sold on 3D TVs and knew I wanted the LED for not only the picture quality but also for the slim design. I've owned this TV for roughly 9 months now and I have no doubts whatsoever. Many people complain about the glare/reflection. My TV is currently sitting on a base stand that has a window facing it. While there is a glare/reflection this is not a big deal for me at least. With blinds closed its a non factor. Please note there is a plastic film that coats the TV screen. I noticed this and thought that maybe it should be removed. After reviewing sites and speaking to store personnel I found that this should NOT be removed. Bottom line I love the TV and wouldn't change a thing! Strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a 46/47 LED TV.
A very good TV We bought this TV online from Vann's in November of 2010 and we have thoroughly enjoyed it ever since. It replaced a 2002 Sony CRT Trinitron for the living room. WOW and what a differnce it has made! LG apparently does not make it anymore but I am going to upgrade the software today from their website to see if they have added more apps and perhaps some other types of functionalities that I an unaware of. As far as the screen and the reflectiveness it is a reflective screen that can glare but we have it in a place that is not too bright. This does bring up one point though and this is that when using the Eco mode to reduce screen brightness and to use less power the screen gets too dark for my taste. As I said it is placed in a darker spot of the living room and I would not expect the Eco mode to therefore make the screen as dark as it does but it could just be my middle aged eyesight not being what it one was cataract formation perhaps Whatever the case it is a great TV with so many functions and inputs/outputs. I can overlook the issue of the Eco mode being too dark for my eyesight. One output that we just began to use is the optical output to our new Yamaha sound bar. Since November of 2010 we have just used the builtin 5.1 speakers and they have done the job but now with a soundbar connected thru the optical output I would find it hard to go back to just using the builtin speakers.
