 Big Bang for the buck Aug 08, 2009
When I first saw the price of this TV (999.00) I wondered what was wrong with it. Nothing, as it turns out. I bought it because of the price and the brand. I have a 32 inch LG 1080 flat screen that I have had for 3 1/2 years (you don't want to know how much it cost). It worked perfectly out of the box and has never had service. That's a heck of an endorsement these days! One unique thing that sold me on the 47" LG50 was the height. It is taller than the other flat screens of similar size so you don't get that extreme horizontal picture. It's more like watching a movie theater screen ratio. I watched 2 movies in a row yesterday and it was totally hypnotic. So, That's it, I love it and I'm sure you will too. Got mine at Best Buy and they delivered and set it up for me-no extra charge.

 Excellent LCDTV. Bad for Play Station 3 Jul 10, 2009
I've had this tv for a couple of months and had no complaints until i connected my PS3 via HDMI, for some reason it has a lot of problems running 1080p resolution under HDMI since it cuts the image with a message saying "invalid format" while you are playing or navigating thru the menu screen. DON'T BUY THIS TV FOR A PS3, lots of issues.

I'd buy another one just like it. Mar 13, 2009
After spending months looking at all kinds of TV's I got back to basics. What was I going to do with this TV and where was I going to do it. I put it in the living room hooked up my Roku (via hdmi) my cable, my PS3 and my computer. Blueray is stunning. Netflix HD looks awesome on it. World of Warcraft is totally killer on it and my cable needs to be upgraded to HD. I spent literally a hundred hours looking at nearly every size, make and model. The store managers at Costco, Best Buy and a couple of high end video/computer stores all thought I was going to take up residence. I picked it up brand new for $999 plus shipping. Last year I bought my brother an LG 42" plasma for a wedding present. His is killer too. For me, it's LG all the way.

Great TV at great price! Mar 01, 2009
A friend of mine has been spending hours the past several weeks trying to find that perfect LCD TV. I think he must sank 40+ hours into the project by now. He did eventually settle on a 40-42" (can't remember which) Sony for about $1500.
I walk into a close-out sale and walk out with a LG47LG50 in less than 15 minutes for $899. Now, I'll be the first to admit that not doing proper research into a high dollar purchase is not wise, but this TV is amazing! Lots of connections and a brilliant picture that is easy to customize. I've put my PC, a game console, and my over-the-air antenna up to this LG and all look great! My research-heavy friend came over to see it today and was thoroughly impressed with the set.
Best thing about this TV is how intuitive the menu user interface is. Everything from the physical remote control to the antenna tuning interface just makes sense. I'm not saying my 85 year old grandma can run with it, but I believe most people will have absolutely NO problems navigating the myriad of options on this set.
PROS:
- Great, large picture
- Good price
- Intuitive menus and button layout
- Attractive set (hidden speakers)
- Lots of connectivity
CONS:
- Glossy black finish makes finger prints and dust easily visible
- It's light. It's couple pounds lighter than other TVs this size. This could be a con as it feels "cheap," or it could be a pro in that it's light and easy to move. Not a deal breaker.
BOTTOM LINE:
Great set at great price. Would highly recommend.

Amazing Full HD Feb 28, 2009
This is a great television. It's got all the advanced options for people, like myself, that enjoy tweaking settings on their gadgets. The matte finish is perfect for rooms with a lot of ambient light, both natural or artificial. The color of the television is extremely impressive, especially after it's been calibrated.
As with most LCDs the blacks are a little lacking, but the contrast is pretty good overall. The matte finish is really nice at preventing glare and reflections. Images and color are pretty uniform across the screen and off center viewing is very impressive, compared to some older LCDs. My screen has some issues with blotchy, slightly darker areas, on the left side, but it's very subtle and only shows up in very specific instances. My wife doesn't see it at all and I can't seem to "unsee" it, but it's a very minor issue.
There are a ton of connection options (multiple HDMI, component, RGB, DVI, etc), which make this TV pretty future proof and allow users with older video equipment to upgrade their TV without having to replace their other gear.
My favorite thing about the LG50 is that it can be calibrated to professional standards using the built in user menus. All one needs is a colorimeter, a calibration DVD, and some calibration software and you can make professional level adjustments to the color settings. It's not for everyone, but if you're into geeky stuff like that, you'll appreciate the option to do so. If you're not into that kind of advanced adjustment, there's still a lot of other more simple adjustments that can be made to help improve the picture quality, as well as presets.
On top of all that, you're getting full 1080p, high definition resolution.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- 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 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 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 came closest.
