LG 55LE5400 Customer Testimonials　

I spent way too much time looking for a TV, and was pretty sure that I did not want a plasma since I play a lot of video games and don't like the potential for burn-in and I think LCD and LED TV's are brighter and better for video games. So I decided that I was getting an LCD or LED and have been looking at this one, and a few others, for almost a year. I have a 40" Sony 720p that I was replacing, but I didn't want to spend upwards of $1500 more just for 3D. I have a 4 year old daughter and I don't have time to sit and watch lots of movies, so 3D isn't a big priority to me or us. I was looking at Best Buy for the most part since I have a Best Buy Credit Card and planned on getting 18-36 months of free financing, but this TV went down in price and I finally pulled the trigger. I have never bought anything of this size from Amazon and was nervous about not buying from a local dealer and the delivery from thousands of miles away. But it (finally!!!) came and I couldn't be happier.

I chose this over the equivalent Samsung (LN55B650) due to this one having a matte screen and a faster refresh rate. This TV can be found for around 1.5 grand and thus makes a good value. Its performance is quite satisfactory. It is extremely thin and thus will look amazing mounted on a wall. Speakers for such thin profile TV are sufficient - you should enable the virtual surround from the menu to add more "presence" to otherwise tinny default sound but adding separate sound system will take care of it. The edge-lit mechanism does show un-even lighting when the screen is totally dark but once a picture is displayed, there is no hint of it and the picture looks so amazing that it really is a non-issue for real-world. The default STANDARD picture setting is good for most programming but if you are watching a movie in a almost dark room with lights off, change it to CINEMA setting and it will look better. I watched new Battlestar Galactica on Blu-ray via PS3 on it and the Cinema setting even removed the grain that was intentionally left on the video - frankly, i liked the cleaned up image a lot better. I don't care about the NetApps as i have connected it to a PS3 but the WiFi adapter is normally available for under 50 bucks so that's also reasonable.

As many people have stated I have been shopping/comparing TV's for some time. This TV LG 55LED5400 is EXCELLENT! The picture quality is fantastic! The sound is pretty good....I have a home theater system but when I just want to check something quick the TV sound is good - surprisingly good. I did have to buy the LG wireless USB connector to have the apps work. It's great to watch Netflix! I was concerned about buying this from Amazon. If I had a problem I couldn't return it to a store. I have bought so much from Amazon and I only had to return 1 item and Amazon handled it better than a walk-in store so I decide to do it - plus I saved a lot of money! I did read a review about the shipper CEVA which stated they were very unhappy with them - CEVA. I emailed them and their customer service was excellent!!! Her initials were BM - she was GREAT! Returned my emails quickly and because of her I would DEFINITELY say you do not have to worry about CEVA shipping your TV. Arrived when promised and the 2 gentlemen set it up to make sure it was working.
