I have looked at so many LCD & DLP televisions over the last year that my brain was becoming scrambled. I finally was ready to replace my 10 year old Hitachi 53" in the huge monster black cabinet and wanted to make sure that that I was making the right choice of which new HD to buy. All the store employees knew me by name because I had been in so many times looking. I had pretty much settled on a Samsung 55" and had even considered a 73" DLP because of the bang for the buck in size. I was in Fry's and sales rep came up to me and said I have the deal for you. He told me about the LG55LH90 with 240Hz and the high rating it had received on C-NET. He said they only had one in stock in the back room and that The LG rep had just been there and they had been authorized to offer it at a promo price of $1799.00 plus a free LG Blu-ray player. I was a little leary because I was not that familiar with LG brand. I asked if I could think about it and come back next day and he said that price was a one time promo and he guaranteed I would love the TV. Boy was he right! This TV has the most awesome picture I have ever seen. I watch the same old TV shows that I have been watching for years and never knew how they should really look in HD. It's like looking out a window, and sports, you feel as though you can reach out and touch the grass blades on the football field. Movies with the THX are unreal. As for the lip-sync issues I've read about I have none. I went online and bought Monster M1000 HDMI cables for $24.00 each instead of the $199.00 you pay in stores and have hooked up to Time Warner HD-DVR box and sound is perfect. So I guess cables do make a difference. I am very,very happy I went with this TV and especially at the price I paid as the prices now are anywhere from $2500 to $2900. But at any price it out performs any other TV I have seen and the matte screen eliminates most all glare in a bright room. If your looking for a great LED that will not be outdated in 6 months you will not be unhappy with this one.

Ok, to be fair, I have had it for less than a week. And, I didn't get it on Amazon. I went in to Best Buy to purchase a Samsung. It was a demo model, high up on the wall, where no one could touch it. Great price, 50". However, the issue which kept me from that purchase was the glossy screen. I have a very bright room, lots of windows. So, he showed me the LG. No glare issue, and a spectacular picture! This was on the wall too, so it was quite cheap. Free delivery, free removal of old tube TV, very heavy.
At home, no glare issue at all, even when very sunny. TV sound? It's no surround sound Hi Def system, but incredible from a TV. Lip synch...not an issue. The only channel I had some barely noticeable lip synch, was on a non hi def cable channel which totally sucked anyway. No lip synch issues on any other occasion or channel. Then, I think it's called blossoming? Where the picture "blooms" out from the face or something on the screen. Saw it on same low quality channel. Hi def channels are awesome! As good as I have seen on any TV! The closest thing I owned to this was the 720P Toshiba. A Regza, which is a wonderful TV. But it doesn't compare to this one. LG knocked it out of the park with this TV!!! Extremely easy to set up. Extremely easy to use. Remote, very easy to use as well. Stand is a bit wobbly, but no big deal. Can't talk about customer service as I haven't needed it. If things go wrong, I will be back.

We just got the LG55LH90 and it is quite an improvement over my 2 year old Samsung 46 inch LCD.
Technology keeps improving and the picture on this set is very very good. I notice that the HD picture is awsome but the set does a very good job even with non HD signals.
We have a very bright living room where the set is located so getting an LCD set with the anti-glare screen was a must. If not for the glare I would have got a plasma screen but that was not an option.
Anyway this is a great set. I can not speak to the complaints about the lip synch issue because I alway use my surround sound system when watching TV, DVD's or playing games.

I swore I would never by an LG after seeing one years ago. My how they have changed. This TV is stunning, big and beautiful. Being able to get a TV with local dimming at this price is impressive. The colors are vivid, and most importantly, accurate. There are enough settings and configuration options to keep you busy for days. It does TV right. No dead pixels. The backlight allows you to light up the room during the day with no detrimental impact to the picture quality. The matte screen is a must for avoiding those annoying reflections. No lip sync problems, I am running it through my Onkyo RC-160 - another great product to consider. Of course with all LCDs viewing angles could be better. But the unit has a nice swivel base that you don't usually find. Definitely the most accurate, versatile, and affordable TV on the market today.

The quality of the picture is too "real looking" for a lack of a better term. Watching a movies reminds me of deleted scenes or bad acting. I know I can't be the only one that feels this way. My husband, by the way worships this t.v.
