Lg 42ld550 Review!
span>Share:LG 42LD550 Great picture and functionality, acceptable sound quality, Impresive specifications
By H. Narasimhan
LG 42LD550 is my first LCD TV and I spent few days doing some research to choose a good TV. I did a specification comparison between several LCD TVs and finally had to decided between LG and Samsung. I choose LG TV as this one has 120HZ with 2.4 ms refresh rate.I am not sure how do these features affect the picture quality but this TV has excellent picture. I mostly watch movies over internet using netcast/DVD player and didn't watch fast sport action yet. Sound quality for this TV is regular and you need to buy speakers if you want something special.
The wining feature for this TV was the Netcast functionality. I watch a lot of Netflix streaming over internet and this works great for me. You need to have atlease 3 MbPS connections to watch HD movies. Currently you can only have Yahoo Widgets, Netflix, Vudu, Picasa web album and Youtube available (no web-surfing).
I am disappointed that I had to buy a LG wireless adaptor ($ Seventy) to access wifi. You can use a LAN wired connection as default without the adaptor. This TV also has some power save modes which I am using a lot to decrease the brighness when needed or switch off the display when not needed (listening to music). As this is not a heavy TV (around 40 lb), so it is relatively easy to hang this on wall.
If Netcast is not what you need then I would recomend to have a look at LG 42LD520 which is a chaper bet than this one. I bought this TV when there were no review in Amazon but I am happy with my purchase and price.
I don't have Cable or Dish at my home so I can't comment on that.
LG 42LD550 Excellent TV
By Terry M. Kinane
I recently got my LG 42LD550 as a free replacement from an Extended warranty company. It was one of three brand new TVs offered to me as a replacement for my two year old Sanyo. I really made the right choice with the LG 42LD550.
This TV is awesome. The picture quality is superb, and you can either make simple manual adjustments like, Backlight, Brightness, Contrast, color etc, or you can use the advanced mode to really calibrate the TV. The on screen menus are easy to use whether you are a novice or an expert.
Being a 120Hz TV with the Trumotion feature, watching fast moving sports is great on this TV. I left my Trumotion setting at 'Low' and everything looks great.
This TV has too many options to discuss here, and it offers high end functionality for a retail price of between $800 and $900.
Highly recommended.
