This is my first big screen HDTV purchase and I had a list of requirements to be fulfilled. He had to play a lot of video codecs natively (no need for a Blu-ray) and formats (avi, iso, avi, xvid, etc.). And the viewing angle and image quality was to be fantastic (as better than comparable models in recent years). This TV certainly less met my needs and was within my budget. My main sources are the video over-the-air HD channels files, MKV HD on my computer, and video content from the TV comes with applications.
Pros:
Very thin frame. As with all LCD-LED frames, these TV shows are only a few millimeters thick. It also has very little power.
-Great image quality. I have no complaints. Tru-Motion to hang and some calibration and looks fantastic. Entirely comparable to Sony and Samsung, with the correct settings. There is some grain Ness, if you get too close, while ensuring the air HD, but this is the case with every series I've seen, if the LED or Plasma.
- While this feature is not advertised, LG 2011 Smart TV comes with the "Plex" compatibility. Plex is a server that is installed on your computer and you can stream video / audio / images on wifi or wired LAN. It is much better than the DLNA in every way. I only use the Plex server, DLNA anymore because the GUI is much better and the connection now seems to be more reliable. Plex play almost all video files that play on any resolution (MKV, AVI, ISO, XVID, even without compression BD-start). There are currently some problems with DTS audio on anything but 2 channel stereo though.
- I believe that each unit comes with an IPS panel. More most panel lottery with this model, at least. Panel "IPS" for more information about Google that if you are not familiar.
-The magic wand from a distance. This TV comes with two remotes. A pattern that has been built on a light background and looks very good (big buttons). The second remote that comes with this TV is called "Magic Wand Remote" and is basically a Wii-mote. It is a Bluetooth remote control that moves you to move a cursor on the screen. This makes typing on the onscreen keyboard and easy to navigate through menus a breeze.
- Wi-Fi standard. This model comes with a standard Wi-Fi adapter, so you do not have to buy one. The TV also has a LAN port (Ethernet), if you want to go cable.
Pros:
-The biggest shock to me is not really a problem specific to this set, but wi-fi transmission in general. I tried to transmit 1080p MKV and 12.8 GB on my LAN 802.11g can not do without the video buffer every minute or two. I found that the most important factor in whether a file or buffer to gently touch via Wi-Fi is the file size. My wireless connection is strong and no problems of interference or distance. Not only is it possible to send large files in most LAN Wi-Fi HD and have to play without any buffer, so that certain files can not be seen. That said, no less than 5 GB of flow (including HD MkVs) unbuffered Plex perfectly and you have the ability to activate subtitles. A lot of small MKV is working for me still look great in HD (comparable to that of Blu-Ray). My next step is to see if an external hard drive connected directly to the USB port on the TV would eliminate buffering. I'll update when I try to do in the future.
-The speakers on this TV are terrible. I think when you have a thin TV you can not put anything better than laptop speakers large. Right out of the box, I thought the speakers were broken, it sounded metallic and distorted, as if off. After adjusting the sound settings a bit more reasonable sounding, but still very soft and has a lot to boot. To really enjoy this game, at least I have a sound bar. Almost all external speakers would be an update here.
- The LG YouTube application (and in case the YouTube application also Plex) are useless. You can not see the channel pages, you can not find specific videos and can not view live broadcasts YouTube. That are more or less subject to what they want to endure when seeking something and to make matters worse the application is very slow. I have a 12 MB connection to the Internet and the TV is in the same room as the router, so the burden of any random video that gives you fast, but the application itself can not be used. That said, once they get a YouTube video playing 1080p looks amazing.
- All other applications in general, are heavy and feel like they are in beta mode. Do not get this TV if you are primarily interested in Internet connectivity and resources. Built in the browser is slower than dial-up and does not support flash. Plugins Plex have other applications comparable to LG, but did not work. Plex is the best option as a single server, but may improve over time in relation to their plugins (applications). FYI Plex on television is accessed through an application called "Medialink".
-There is a bit flashlighting occasionally, but not really enough to complain. No opacity seen and not the trailing edge of light (good thing).
The only thing I will mention is that this TV may have disabled the functionality. I was reading the user AVForums impressions "of television and at some point in an earlier version of firmware, it seems that local television had attenuation settings that lead me to believe there may be an LED-lit edges. Do not take my word for she did not really know. It can also be built in DVR functionality if you connect an external hard drive (again, apparently, disappeared with a firmware update). None of these things are advertised and are characteristic of the versions international model. You can find more information about this on their own, but is actually a favor or against one, something to ponder.
2011 55LV5500 LG model has a price comparable to Sony and Samsung LCD-LED to make a good market share away from them. It was located on a Samsung or Sony, but after researching this model and get a great deal from another site, I went with the LG 55LV5500 time and am satisfied. We have to wait and see if it gives me the life of a Sony TV. I give this TV 4 stars, the great defect of being broken Internet applications.
