 Died in less than 3 years Jul 24, 2010
Have enjoyed this product, but yesterday - two months short of it's third B-Day - it made a "Fffffft" sound and went weirdly negative/dark.
I read online that this can be caused by:
A.) A blown fuse on one of three boards.
B.) A blown board.
So far, trying to call LG on a Sat morning has been an exercise in futility in spite of their 1-800 robot telling me there would be a 5 min wait.
Will contact them via email and see what they will do for me. It is out of warranty but this is a known problem. I am hoping they stand by their product.
$2800 for a product that did not last 3 years is not a good buy.
Will update later.
Follow Up:
Their concise email response:
"I regret to inform you that after reviewing your case, we have determined that we will not be able to cover the expense of the repair needed for your unit, being that the television is beyond its original warranty."
Unfortunately LG considers 2 and half years an acceptable time-frame for an expensive consumer product.
No offer to even pay parts.
I LOVE electronics and this is by no means my last big screen TV...but it is my last LG.
For the people that got more time from theirs, be grateful.

 Drive-in theatre in my living room Sep 11, 2008
We decided to go for size over pixilation. What a great move. We saved thousands of dollars going for 720p over 1080p. Did you know that HD is broadcast in about 480p? Everything from HD to DVD on a regular player looks spectacular. We watched the convention speeches last week and the speakers were life sized. How cool is that!?!

HD TV - Got the Greatest Feb 13, 2008
Found my 60inch plasma TV on Amazon at an amazing price. To put icing on the cake, the shipping was free. Gets even better, the man brought it inside and helped me lift it into place - too heavy for one person - that was a real plus.
The TV is beautiful, we are quite happy with Amazon.

Superb! Jun 09, 2007
We bought this TV three weeks before Super Bowl 2007. I didn't want to write a review right away having read many plasma/DLP big-screen TVs run into some problem or other within 3 months of purchase. It is about six months since we bought the TV and so far it has had no problem at all! When plasma/LCS TVs have yet to gain maturity in terms of reliability, making a big investment such as for this TV is always associated with some risk or other. But so far, I am extremely happy with this purchase.
The 60 inches of screen space is enormous - Ginormous, in my son's lingo. We compared with the 50" Hitachi side-by-side in the showroom. I wanted it to compare to the best-of-class Panasonic 50" side-by-side, but the showroom didn't have a Panasonic. We liked the black border. The picture looked great. We couldn't distinguish much of the sound with all the accoutrements in the showroom attached to all other TVS.
The TV is HEAVY! We wanted it for the Super bowl and hence ventured to haul it ourselves. With the packaging, it fit okay into our minivan with the middle and rear seats folded. Once at the home, hauling it from the garage to the family room took us about 90 mins - I am not kidding. My back was hurt for two weeks! So get someone to deliver it and setup and plan in advance.
After a few weeks, we had it professionally wall mounted. Boy, the picture looks awesome compared to what we saw in the showroom! If you watch 'Winged migration' or other HD shows on this TV, you will be mesmerized by the detail and vivid colors of the picture. The green is somewhat richer than natural, but doesn't distract you much. The sound is also awesome and I sometimes feel there is no real need for an expensive surround-sound system. The TV comes with various modes of sound including surround-sound mode which isn't all that filling, but makes a slight difference. The looks of the TV is slick and the blackness makes it look very sophisticated on our wall. Everyone who has seen the TV in our home has appreciated it over and over again.
The remote is pretty neat with easy buttons for screen-ratio (16:9, 4:3, etc) and picture brightness adjustments. The buttons are well spaced out. The only quib I have of this TV is that there is no option to display closed captioned text - yes that we miss a lot! Watching DVDs is no issue as most of them have sub-titles, but watching broadcast TV programs takes a small hit if you prefer the captions on.
The reflection off the screen is minimal and doesn't take away from your viewing pleasure. We have eight large windows in our family room and more in the kitchen space behind.
In summary:
Pros:
=====
- Beautiful addition to your decor - sleek and sharp
- Breathtaking HD picture.
- Great sound output.
- Minimal reflection.
- All advantages of a plasma TV.
Distractions:
==============
I wouldn't like to call it cons but these are more slight distractions:
- Slightly richer than normal green hue
- Absence of display of close captioning on broadcast TV program (where applicable).
- Slight hum when volume is very high.
By the way, playing the Wii on this 60" is way to fun. We have enjoyed every cent of the 4K spent (and more for installation) on this TV.

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.
