Decided it was time to have an upgrade in the T.V. department so went to Comet to have a look at some. After about an hour of looking through the mountain of T.V's we took down some product codes and went online to find the best price. Hadn't really looked at this T.V. for long in the shop but I'm really glad I wrote down the product code!
Really hard to find any user reviews but did find a few videos and some information which made me think this may be the T.V. for me. It has some really nice features and is pretty easy to use and navigate menus.
Telly looked great when we got it out of the box and the stand is easy to put on but you will need 2 of you to do it. When I plugged in the Sky+HD I was blown away with just how good the picture was, for the vast majority of things it feels like you are stood right next to the camera whilst it is being filmed! Having the 4 HDMI ports is very handy as I can have the Sky+HD, Xbox360 and The 3D Blu-Ray player all plugged in without the need for an adaptor. The T.V. has the Cinema 3D built in which I was a bit sceptickle about at first but after doing some reading up it seemed like the best option for me - having 8+ people round and supplying them all with 3D glasses could cost you a fortune but as you can use the same glasses you use at the cinema you can pick them up for around 80p each!!! you also get 2 black pairs and a box of 5 coloured glasses free with the T.V. which is good.
Had 13 people round monday and they were all able to sit down and enjoy the amazing 3D programs I had recorded off of Sky, the major downside is there just isn't that much 3D content out there at the moment. I only got this T.V. as it was LED and had some good features, don't think I'd go and get any T.V. just because it does 3D. It's also quite misleading when you see adverts where they show things floating out of the screen, some things do look like they are floating in mid air but the majority of things just seem to go back really far as to give you a real sense of depth.
This is the only LED 3D TV I have really tried out but so far I've had no complaints with it. It is very good when you hook it up to the internet for browsing, iplayer, youtube etc. you can also get a cool LG Remote APP for Ipod/Ipad/Iphone which makes internet things easier. The 3D is good quality, HD viewing is amazing and the intelligent light sensor technology is very clever as well.
I would recommend if you have under £1000 to spend but do shop around as I got mine for £849 with a free 3D Blu-Ray player. Everyone that has watched anything on it says how great it looks and how much they would like one.
Hope this has been of some help to anyone as like I said there isn't much customer reviews so far. Def. get's my vote though!

I have been looking at 3DTV's for quite sometime and finally went for this model over a more expensive Active Shutter Samsung D8000. Reasons were the reported flicker free 3D, the 7 pairs of cheap glasses and lack of headaches and nausea. I can safely say I made a good choice. The screen is a good size and the thin bezel means it wont take up too much room in your house. The normal 2D picture needs a bit of tweaking out of the box and there are loads of settings. If like me you're not a professional there is a handy picture wizard built into the tv's settings that helps you to do this. The picture quality is great, especially with HD which is pin sharp. But what about the 3D? Well I can safely say its fantastic. With decent 3D material - downloaded demo's or 3D Bluray it is stunning. Great depth and some projection (Penelope Cruz's sword on the new Pirates 4 trailer for example) and its razor sharp. The 2D-3D conversion isnt up to much - it adds some simulated depth to TV and movies but is a bit hit and miss. My son loves it but I prefer the real deal!
Gaming on this tv is great, some net reviews say the set lags too much making gaming impossible, nonsense. I've played PS3 and 360 on this set and tested 3D on Crysis 2, Black Ops on 360 and Killzone 3 & GT5 on PS3. No issues and the effect is stunning. I probably wouldnt have played Black Ops again if it wasnt for the 3D!
Anything wrong? Well it takes a while to get the settings just right, but that it as much a factor of the screen size I'd imagine. The only other downside is the sound, there is little bass so I have mine connected to the surround sound through theTV's own optical out.
Overall this is a great TV, giving you a nice big screen, thin, loads of connections, great 3D that all the family can enjoy and with a really wide viewing angle (unlike Active Shutter 3D). This really is hassle free 3D, a couple of button presses on the remote and you're there, as good as the cinema!

To put this review in perspective I am replacing a three year old 50" Panasonic Viera Plasma which recently died. I fully expected to get another Panasonic but after some serious research and lots of testing combined with an amazing price for this 55" LED set, I went for the LG.
They say first impressions are lasting and after a very easy initial setup which included plugging the TV into my router, I powered the set up for the first time and switched it to Freeview HD and my jaw dropped. the quality of the 2D image is simply stunning, a gigantic step up from my old set and it surpassed even my wildest expectations. When watching it with SKY HD, the effect is equally impressive. I haven't even had to play with any of the settings, just left it at the factory default setup which is perfectly fine for me.
The internet experience was very low down the priority list for me, but I found it to be very intuitive and actually some of the LG Apps are very useful and work brilliantly. It seems to be able to display BBC iPlayer and You Tube videos almost at a good quality standard definition level. My previous experience with YouTube on a TV was disappointing grainy images but this TV seems to be able to up-scale even the most basic resolution videos taken on a mobile phone camera and make them a pleasure to watch. iPlayer is even better. The TV also picks up my NAS drive and lets me easily play all my home movies, pictures and music through the portal. You are also able to download an app for IOS and Android phones which will let you control the TV and make it easier to browse the internet on the TV's inbuilt browser. Unfortunately I could not get the app to work as it wouldn't find the TV on my network. This is the only real negative point I can raise.
A number of reviews suggested that the sound on this set was poor. Its certainly not going to give you a full home cinema experience but then if you are buying a set like this you are surely going to be partnering it with a decent surround sound system with external speakers. I found the TV's inbuilt speakers to be perfectly adequate for general use.
Finally the 3D. I can sum this up with two words. JUST BRILLIANT. It comes with 7 pairs of lightweight glasses and I'm still struggling to get over the awe of playing Motorstorm Apocalypse on the PS3 in 3D. Its a whole new experience and takes gaming into the next level. I haven't watched a bluray yet, but have seen a couple of programmes on the Sky 3D channel and its great.
Finally again (so much to say) the remote is intuitive with a backlight and the TV looks stunning, even the stand it comes with looks great. Good to get 7 pairs of 3D glasses in the box, would have nice to get a wireless dongle, but other than that and the LG app not working this is an amazing TV and from me its recommended.
