LG 55LH40 55-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Gloss Black Great big honking TV!I bought this because of the great price on Amazon. I was going to wait until Christmas and get the best price on a large 52+ inch LCD or plasma but saw this model on sale at Worst Buy for just under @1500. Checked Amazon and they had it for $1418.19 and thought with free shipping and no sales tax, I was getting it for a super bargain. I was concerned about some consumer reviews I read. They all said the picture quality was fantastic, but there was a problem with the sync on the sound. I already had sound system hooked directly from my Comcast Digital Cable box so the sound sync problem never was an issue. In playing with the TV, I did try the speakers to hear how good they were and I wasn’t very impressed. There is a sync problem when using the internal speakers so I just turned them off and will forever use my sounds system and get great sound.The picture quality is really great. I was watching a few of our favorite shows on the first night we had it, and I noticed how much more detail I could notice with this TV. My old LCD was a Sharp 46 inch and while the picture was fantastic too, the detail level that this 55 inch provides is so much better. Shipping was free and very fast. The item shipped from Phoenix and took a total of 7 days (ordered on Sat and delivered on Friday to be in my home. Just a quick follow up. I have seen that the price on this TV has dropped…..but I also have noticed that the availability of this item is also very scarce. When you factor in free shipping and no sales tax, the price I paid wasn’t bad at all. Also, the home delivery and set up is a great value.I am very happy with this purchase. The low price and free shipping made this deal a super value! The only negative I can point to is the sound quality of the internal speakers and the sync problem. I read on another forum that they were able to overcome this with composite cables but I wanted the advantage of HDMI cables. Overall, super TV image, super seller, and outstanding quality for the money!One year update:I have had this TV for over one year. There picture is still perfect and haven’t had one lick of trouble. I am guessing you can’t buy this anymore. The LED LCDs seem to be the new trend as they command a higher price. Too bad this TV will probably last 20 years….and as long as it works, I am not buying another big TV.
