LG 55LE8900

I have just recently bought the LG 55LE8900 and to be honest I am very disappointed. Firstly, I will give the TV some credit, on HD feeds the picture is stunning BUT if you are planning on watching a lot of SD material then you will be extremely disappointed. You can get a better quality SD picture on a budget panel costing £500 or less (and this is after hours of trying to tweak the LG)

Also, this TV does NOT suport avi files with the DTS codec which is a real pain in the backside having to re-convert to AC3 etc. Another gripe when playing movies back from USB is a limitation on what size you can display the movie on the panel i.e. you have 2 choices, 1. Original or 2. Full. If the avi file is not a 1080p then there is no way of filling the screen with the movie.

I have had a play with a few 2010 Samsung panels and they absolutely annihilate this LG panel with support etc. Even the Samsung 3D panels beat this TV on all categories.

I will also mention that the sound quality is also very poor but other reviews on the TV say this.....

One bit of advice - go see this TV before you buy and ask them to show you an SD feed, it is disgraceful for a TV at this price.

just had this tv just 1 week,to start with its heavy tv to wall mount at just under 36kg,i have had 2 tv's this year a lg 42lh4000 and and 50 pk990 both great tv,s but the lacked what this tv has a stunning picture never have i seen a full hd tv picture like this you actually feel you are looking through a window on to the likes of the world cup and especially wimbledon the bbc's HD transmission'S being superior to itv/channel4,blueray is even better with local dimming coming into play giving inky blacks and colour's WOW just watch avatar on this tv and see for yourself,menu system is a gem to move around typical lg,As for aesthetics you wont find a finer looking tv absolutely to look at even on stanby the lg sign is almost invisible until you power up as do the touch sensitive controls sensors light up sequencetially,go LG 10/10
