Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
 |
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.
If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

I have had this TV for about a week now. It is breathtakingly slim with a very good picture, but beyond that, much of the promotional materials for this unit are inaccurate and deceptive. For example, it does not have 4M:1 contrast, it’s 3M:1. Not the end of the world, but annoying. The so-called “Wireless 1080p Ready” is extremely misleading, though. First, you need to buy additional equipment for the TV, so it is no more “Ready” than any other set. Secondly, LG does not mention that you need a wireless-N router and a very fast computer to stream video: minimum 350GHZ dual core. And even then, the manual says that transferring video wirelessly is not recommended, as it won’t work well and some features will not be available! So if you had dreams of streaming Netflix from a router in another room, like I did, forget it.
A couple of other things to consider: the hookups on the set are on the back, so despite how thin it is, you’d need to mount it several inches off a wall or create a recess for cords. If you want to hang your flatscreen like a painting, get the Samsung. I also find the remote very annoying, with many crowded, flat buttons that keep getting pressed accidentally because you can’t feel where they are. And you may need that remote more often than you expect because nearly every different thing you play will need the picture adjusted not only for aspect ratio but for shape within that aspect (I don’t know if this is a problem with all HDTVs or just this one.)
Still, having said all that, if you are looking for a no frills HDTV, and you have a universal remote, the price seems pretty good.

The speakers are behind the tv, once the tv is mounted to the wall the sound quality is horrible. My only choices are to return the TV or buy an additional theater system. Not sure what to do, especially since BB requires a 15% restocking fee which would come to a whopping $210.00.

THe LED is by far the BEST contrast of any HDTV we have owened. This TV replaced an LG 44 inch DLP TV, which during it’s time, was a pretty awesome picture, but like in all happenings, things change. The only con we have is:
The speakers system on this TV is worthless. The TV comes with the ability to override background noise and bring the voice of the program/movie to the front of everything else, however the speakers are not good at all. After you get above 50 on the volume control, it goes to 100, everything is distorted, the speakers even vibrate. A surround sound system really brings out the true excellance of this unit. It was a good deal for an entry level LED at under $1200.00.

I gave this TV four stars in order to to give it the benefit of the doubt before passing judgement. At this point, I have been unable to get happy with the picture. I found it much easier to tweak my 40 inch samsung LCD.
To me the images, on the LG, look slightly blurry and out of focus. The colors also look fairly unrealistic. This being said, I recognize that it is quite posible that the TV can be calibrated to deliver a high quality picture.
If anyone feels comfortable sharing some of their specific settings, It would be greatly appreciated.

This is my first HDTV, but not even close to my first LG product. Somehow LG has been able to offer products as good, if not better, than other “more popular” brands without breaking the bank. Set up was a breeze and the picture is outstanding. I had to play around with the “TruMotion” setting because when it’s on, watching a movie was like being on the set, it looked too realistic. I have figured out that it’s great for watching live news and sporting events, otherwise, just turn it off. The NetCast and Widget features are awesome, as well as the customizable picture and sound outputs.
I did, however, encounter one problem. When I finshed setting up the tv, I noticed that on the bottom left corner (only when up close on my hands and knees) there is what seems to be “stress fracture” on the plastic frame.(It’s not really cracked, the clear plastic just turned a little white). It is so slight and doesn’t affect the picture what so ever, that it didn’t seem worth my effort to repackage, return, reorder, and be without a tv for another week and a half, so I just left it alone. I have no regrets, the tv is spectacular.
