LG has a serious audio/video synchronization problem with this TV. We bought this TV at a local big box store. We loved the picture. But…the TV is not properly decoding ATSC signals (OTA HD) when encoded as Dolby DTS with 720p video. The audio lags the video, and the video is choppy and then fast forwards to catch up. LG customer service is TERRIBLE. The telephone support is staffed by folks who are challenged by the english language and although the internet chat support is polite and courteous, they are unable to tell us when (if at all) a fix will be availble. This is the last LG product we will buy. Stick with Samsung or Sony, we have purchased many Samsung and Sony products and have never been dissapointed like this.

This TV has a great picture, but it has a flaw. If you wall mount this wouldn’t apply. The TV leans to the right, the service tech thinks it is made with too much internal weight on the right side causing the lean. (when he took off the back panel there is more weight on the right side, 1 circuit board and a bracket, he claims that is enough weight to cause the problem) The tech has replaced the stand, the internal bracket that the stand slides into – all with no change. If you look at a 42″ or the 47″, I have the 47″, and apply the slightest pressure to the edge, upper right and left pushing down, you’ll fell the TV gives more on the right side. Stand or sit back the 10 to 15 feet that you’ll be using and it will be leaning!
Too bad because the TV seems good other than that.
LG doesn’t seem to have an answer. I’m not sure yet what their plan is.

Very pleased with this purchase. The entire transaction with Amazon was effortless, and the delivery was prompt. If only the commercials could be toned down…

this is by far the worst 240 hz lcd tv ever made, when you have the the 240 hz the blur/ghosting/halo effect blur is amplied with my dirctv hd dvr shows or on any blue-ray movies with my ps3 blue-ray player, if your buying this tv exclusively for the 240hz tecnology you will be disappointed, do not buy this tv unless you like headaches and blurred image with 240 hz on, my buddy with samsung 240 and sony 240 tv do not have this problem with the exact same source ps3/satellite so it definitely
a lg progblem, i called lg and they admitted that is a problem and could not do anything about it, this tv without the 240hz turned on is slightly better then my 3 year old sony 40 inch w series with 16,000 to 1 contrast ratio , this tv is now worth 1400 if you cannot turn on the 240 hz which is what i paid from beach camera through amazon, do not believe any reviews you seen on webites, they must all work for lg,
p.s. do not buy from beach camera there is an absurd no return policy on open tv,

After doing some reading, I narrowed down my choices to two HDTVs: LG 47LH90 LED LCD and Panasonic P50V10 Plasma.
I have bought LG 47LH90 for $1299 from SEARS and Panasonic P50V10 Plasma for $1797 from [...] (sorry Amazon but your pricing is not competitive).
I like about LG 47LH90:
1. As all LCDs, it is energy efficient (uses 1/3 as much energy as plasma)
2. Very good black-levels, thanks to LED technology (but not as good as plasma)
3. Relatively lighter weight (less stress on my back than from the heavier plasma)
I do not like about LG 47LH90:
1. Very poor off-angle performance (plasma does not have this problem)
2. Because it uses LEDs, there is some annoying blooming (plasma does not have this problem)
3. Dejudder processing and antiblur functions cannot be separated (not a problem to watch sports, but not good if you want the best possible picture while watching DVDs)
4. 240Hz refresh rate improves the blurring in motion, but it does not fix it completely – there is still blurring in motion (plasma does not have this problem)
In short, in terms of picture quality, LG 47LH90 LED-LCD is a very good imitation of a plasma HDTV, but the technology is still lagging behind (not as good as plasma).
Yesterday, I have returned my LG 47LH90 LCD and kept P50V10 plasma. I will wait a few years for LCD technology to catch up before considering buying another LCD HDTV.
