LG 55LH90 55 Inch 1080p 240Hz LED Backlit LCD HDTV Glossy Black Infused Blue
HDTV viewing reaches a new summit of visual performance with the LG 55H90 55-inch class flat-screen TV. LG LED technology utilizes LED lamps that individually control the level of brightness–for amazing clarity and color detail, even during fast-action sports and movie scenes, as well as for reduced power consumption. LG technology allows detailed control of over 240 levels of brightness, delivering 40 times greater contrast than a typical LCD HDTV. Whether you’re watching your favorite sport or action flick, or playing a hot new video game, now your TV will keep up with your fast-paced entertainment. LG’s TruMotion 240Hz technology provides crystal clear motion detail even in the fastest moving sports and movie scenes. The secret lies in LG’s unique technology, which processes fast-moving images at lightning speed. LG’s full array backlighting employs local dimming technology for detailed control of the LED backlights based on the picture on the screen. This local dimming capability divides the LEDs into independent areas which are automatically dimmed or brightened corresponding to the brightness of individual sections of the image, which is not possible with edge” type LED sets. The result is an incredible dynamic contrast ratio measured in millions, amazing clarity, more natural color representation and color detail, faster response time for smoother, more natural picture motion as well as a more energy efficient set. LED backlighting pushes picture quality to the best levels yet. Picture Wizard enables easy self-calibration by providing on-screen reference points for key picture quality elements like black and white levels, color, tint, vertical and horizontal sharpness and backlight levels. It’s like having a basic calibration disc built into your TV. LG TVs utilize a unique speaker system that delivers a clean, polished look and enhanced audio with a wider sound field.

3 Stars Lip Sync problem for all HDMI – Customer Support Bad
The 55LH90 has as excellent picture. The audio lip sync is horrible via HDMI. I called customer support 9/25/09. They said they had a fix that they would mail to me. I would see it within 7-10 days. 15 days later I called again. They said their support policy had changed. I would receive a telephone call within 7-10 (additional) days to schedule a service call from LG to install the fix. I had to ask for a manager to even get that promise. The regular customer support said I would just have to wait for a call, without any response time defined. They were not even sure that a fix had been found. I hope to be able to update this review within two weeks to say that they have actually fixed this problem.
3 Stars Is anyone else having this problem?
I like to test every aspect of a new product I buy, especially one that’s over 2 grand. In this case I went out to buy a ps3 and then bought the most rigorous benchmark for the t.v., Planet Earth in Blu-Ray. The picture I must say was beautiful, probably the best I’ve seen. However once the picture began to move the blossoming and haloing on this set was absolutely atrocious.
To describe blossoming in a few few words it’s when an object moves across the screen, especially if it’s well lit, you will see a “shadow” of pixels around it. It’s essentially a blurry mess around the stalking arctic fox as it runs across the grassy meadow that radiates about a half a centimeter in every direction around the fox. This only occurs when the motion flow is on. The “TruMotion” setting sucks frankly speaking. I will say though that when you turn the motion flow off, not only do movies (I tested The Hulk and 300) look like movies they look pretty darn good but not smoothed out as they claim. However this advertised trumotion technology that you evidently pay extra for is useless.
I digress, The motion flow technology does indeed look incredible on slow moving landscapes and slower action. But once Edward Norton starts running across the screen any beauty is lost.
So I ask if anyone else is having this problem. Test it, get a blu-ray player, get a movie with some fast action, turn the trumotion all the way up (it’s in the advanced picture settings), and examine any fast moving objects. Let me know what you find!
BTW, why do people obsess over the appearance of the TV. Personally I care about what the T.V. is showing not what it looks like in my living room.
5 Stars The Most Solid Tv on the Market for the Money
First of all you can get the tv at best buy during sales for 2199 and then get them to match a coupon for sears for 10% off.
Secondly, there are no voice issues if you use the right kind of hdmi cable…get the brand new updated version and you won’t have
any problems. Third, do yourself a favor and buy the new ps3 to play your movies on..even if you don’t need a game system.
It has wireless networking, it’s down to 299 and it will display all your photos and music on your tv, it’s like having a 120
gig hard drive hooked up to your tv with blueray capability. I have been looking for a year for the right tv and i knew this
was it. The picture is fully backlit, instead of edgelit like the Samsung, that makes a big difference in the details. The
other thing is that the picture is absolutely stunning. The LED technology will save you money over plasmas and last longer…
approximately 7-15 years longer. It doesn’t run as hot as plasmas, the electricity cost you a lot less, there’s no fear of burn in,
the picture is unbelievable and there’s several places to use it as a computer monitor. Pertaining to other people’s comments
about the power light, it actually blends into the background when you’re watching tv or a movie, it’s not bothersome at all, but
in the case that it does bother you really bad, hey, just get a sharpie, lol. Some of you reading this are wondering what tv to
buy. If you do your research, consumer reports, cnet and all those, they will tell you this is one of the best in the 55″ category.
The contrast ratio is 2,000,000 to 1, the automotion ms response time is 4 or less because of the 240 hz, not as fast as a plasma but how many people were complaining when there lcd’s were just 120 hz…no one was. Anyway, good luck with your decision but at the end
of the day if you buy this tv, you’ll be happy.
3 Stars Great Picture, bad software
Amazing picture that jumps out. There is a bug however, the lip-synch issue when using HDMI it jumbles the audio and video. LG has been working on this issue for over a month and still no fix. You think this is something they would catch in QA? Hopefully they will deliver this soon and fix the issue. Other than that, no complaints…great TV. It’s a shame to buy a nice TV like this and have to use the component cables.
1 Star Lip sync issue ruins this tv for me
Tried to ignore the reviews complaining about lip sync issues…some people had the problem…some didn’t. So I took a chance. This tv has a gorgeous picture, but it’s like watching an old Godzilla movie with dubbed audio. I simply refuse to buy a separate audio system to make it work properly. I contacted LG and was informed their “fix” is still in testing and they can’t give me a date for release. I give up. Ordered Panasonic plasma today.
