 Excellent Picture Mar 13, 2010
Great Picture, both the appearance around the outside and the screen itself is very attractive. Ample inputs even a USB port, definitely satisfied with my purchase.

Watching this TV reminds me of when I got Glasses for the first time.... Mar 10, 2010
I bought this TV after doing a bit of research and spending (too much) time checking out the different models in stores. It is my understanding that this model & the 47" version are discontinued, so if you are interested buy now before you have trouble finding one. I paid $2K at BB on clearance last weekend (and had to check 4+ stores to find a new one instock).
A few comments that may help other uses make a decision about this TV:
Other customer reviews on this TV have mentioned a problem with the sound sync'ing. I have not seen that at all (using a Comcast hd box). I understand there is the ability to get a USB drive from the manufacturer to fix this problem should you encounter it.
I liked this TV better than Samsung because it does NOT have a glossy screen. That must be a preference thing.... some people think there's more depth of color with a high gloss screen. I know I would HATE it because i would hate seeing lights, windows, movement in my living room, etc reflected back at me as if the TV is part mirror. If you don't already know what I am talking about you should go to a store & look at various TVs in person and decide whether you want a glossy screen. Only LG, Sony and Toshiba have no-gloss screens. All Samsungs I saw have them.
The LED-LCD technology adds a definite depth of color to this TV beyond what any other LCD has (based on my research & comparable viewing against other TVs). I really love the picture quality of this set, and I have not even explored customizing the picture settings yet. The default setting bring in a picture so clear and deep I feel like I could reach into the screen.
Sound quality is reasonable. Remote & controls are also fine. The stand swivels (somewhat). Viewing the TV from an angle is just fine imo. The TV setup was extremely easy, the screen is already connected to the stand, you just have to lift the box off & get rid of styrafoam and put it in place.
The negatives imo.... I'm not crazy about the size of the frame and the stand on this model. The TV is 38 inches tall in total, but the bottom 9 inches of that are the stand plus the bottom frame of the TV....leaving the actual screen size to be 27 inches tall (2 inches top frame). It bothers me b/c this TV is so tall it eliminates my ability to use the bridge on my entertainment center to display objects and also causes the TV to sit higher then i would want.
I would highly recommend this TV....Get one while you still can!!
Another note..Do NOT buy expensive HDMI cables or packages. BB tried to sell me a Monster cable + powerstrip + cleaner for $200 and I laughed at them. After doing research it is my understanding that there is no reason to pay to upgrade that cable; I used the free one Comcast gave me and it seems great!

Best television for the money Mar 04, 2010
Having only had the 55LH90 for 3 weeks, I cannot speak to the reliability of the television. But I as far as quality for the money I don't think that there is a better television on the market. The picture is one of the best I have ever seen on any television. My wife's complaint when we first got the set was that you could see almost too much detail and she wondered whether we were seeing more than TV producers or movie directors intended to be seen. A significant strength is that the picture can be enjoyed equally is all lighting situations. We have used the television with two bright lamps facing the screen in the evening and a slider door with the blinds open and sun streaming in during the day. The matte screen seems to eliminate almost any glare while the television is on and you can only vaguely see the glare when the television is off. The sound is the best I've heard on flat screen television. I prefer using my surround sound system, but it sounds pretty ok without help. All in all, best television for the money. I understand that the set is being discontinued by LG, so get one before they're all gone. We got ours on sale at Best Buy to get free recycling of our old picture tube television. Now all the local Best Buys are sold out.
I've been using the television with a Timewarner cable box and HDMI cable and have had no lipsych issue with the sound. I don't know if the problem is fixed across the board, but the sound ours is good.

Best TV on the market Feb 17, 2010
I've had this TV for over 6 months now and it's fantastic. HDTV looks great and when I put on a blu-ray disk (especially transformers and iron man) the picture is incredible. I have a bright room with lots of windows but that's no problem for this TV. I haven't had a single issue with the sound but I have comcast cable and not Time Warner. Seems like the problem others are having with sound sync is more with Time Warner cable than with this TV. I also thought the sound coming from the TV speakers was pretty good quality. You can't expect much from TV speakers these days and I thought the LG's were better than my Samsung. However, since then I have a full surround system installed so I don't use the TV speakers anymore. If you're looking for the best TV picture in an LCD model you can't beat this TV. Samsung and Sony can't seem to produce a full backlit LED TV without chargin $1,000+ more than this TV. My only complaint would be that LG should lessen the width of the border. It's about 4 inches thick and makes the footprint of the TV larger than it needs to be.

Lots of Research, very Satisfied Feb 14, 2010
First, I did a lot of research about the LCD and LED TV's, trying to find the best one for me. Without looking at price, it came down to 2 sets, the LG55LH90 and the Samsung UN55B8500. I chose the former because of the picture quality. Boy, am I glad I did! We're sitting here watching the Winter Olympics and it's like we're there! The Food Network even gets my stomach growling.
In addition, I want to cut down on my energy usage which helps the environment and saves me money. However, I want to do it all without sacrificing my lifestyle. LED's are supposed to use less energy than LCD's. On the LCD monitors you can feel how much heat it generates, whereas the LG puts off very little heat. With the LG55, the Dish Network, and the sound system all up and running, this whole unit is only drawing 224 watts of electricity...sweet! (I actually measured it with a "Kill-a-Watt meter)
Below are the additional items that I purchased along with their prices and the reasons I purchased them:
LGLH90-Purchased through Amazon - $1995.00 Almost bought at Best Buy, but price was higher, and even though they offered to match the price, they still would have charged sales tax.
Mediabridge Ultra Series HDMI Cable through Amazon - $9.99 Read about the Lip-sync issues and the problems people were having. There were comments about "making sure you get a high quality" cable. I also read where the "Monster Cable" was overhyped. Called Best Buy for their opinion and guess what, they said to be sure to buy the $100.00 Monster Cable...wonder why? So I based my decision on the cable's certification. It is certified at "Version 1.3 Category 2" which is the same as the "Monster Cable" at 1/10th the price. It performs perfectly, with no lip-sync problems.
Sony HTCT100 Sound Bar through Amazon - It appears all large screen monitors sound systems are realitively limited to what sound they can produce. This system sounds beautiful to me...it's like we're at the movies! What I like about LG TV, is you can turn it off(when you have the Sound Bar on). Also, if you have just the LG sound on(sound bar off), the LG has an option that makes the sound at the same level, from channel to channel, and even commercials. Great feature when someone in another room is trying to sleep. I wish the sound bar had this feature!
SquareTrade 3-year TV Warranty through Amazon - $169.99 At Best Buy they wanted $450.00 for a 4-year warranty. Read all the customer feedback on SquareTrade and it seemed to be a great deal.
Here's how I hooked it up:
HDMI Cable - From DishNetwork box to LG HDMI inlet.
Sound Bar - Opti-cable from Dishnetwork box to Soundbar
Hope you have as nice of an experience as I had!!!

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
