LG's top-of-the-line LCD HDTV series delivers superior picture quality, including a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, in an ultra-slim design (less than 1" at its thinnest point). Unlike LCD LED HDTVs that use "edge" lighting technology, LG's LHX uses a full array of LED backlights with local dimming technology for precise picture control - resulting in deeper blacks and a wide color gamut. And, because it's wireless, the LHX allows for greater room design flexibility.
Wireless makes my TV look great over the fireplaceReviewed by GQ, 2009-12-14
The number one reason why I got this unit was for the size and the
wireless HD capabilities.
I hang this unit over the fireplace with Sanus VMPL50B
wallmount.
The TV is about 60lbs, so you will need a friend to help you hang
it up on the wall.
The screws for wall mounting was already attach to the TV which was
great.
Once I have on the wall and after I plug in the power behind the
TV, NO MORE other wires are needed. I put the wireless media box
which came with the set about 10 feet away with no direct line of
sight and was able to show HD tv with great clarity WIRELESSly...
this is a great feature.
I have wireless phone, internet and head sets which did not cause
any interference with this TV.
The 55LHX's lg logo on the TV is where the TV's receiver is, so if
you stand right in front, you will see some static or no picture as
you are no blocking the signal. But, I will know to avoid to stand
right in front of the TV :)
The viewing angle is good, I tilt it downwards about 12 degrees for
less glare. The TV screen do not reflect much, but the black frame
does.
Just a note, with the 240HZ True motion on, sports looks very life
like; but on movies it looks 3D ish, so shut I had to shut it off.
Now I know why a 240Hz tv can possibly view 3d movies.
I have a Pioneer plasma which still looks way better than this TV,
but this TV is as good if not better than my sharp Aquos. So, maybe
its a settings thing.
There are lots of settings, but I have yet to find the best one, so
please leave me a comment if you know what the best settings
are....

Great TV but too expensive at AmazonReviewed by jrsposter, 2009-12-10
This is a perfect HDTV set with a great wireless media console
which avoids the necessity of having a million wires going up to
the screen unit. The wireless connection to the screen works
flawlessly with absolutely no interference-induced flickering, but
I have my console right in front of the set. Come to think of it,
where else would I put it when I want to control the television set
while I am watching it?
The picture is sharp and bright, and it has loads of wonderful
features. It is backlit with local dimming, and this set really
does have "blacker blacks." The contrast ratio is 5 million to one.
Setup was a breeze.
The only thing I want to mention is that Best Buy is selling this
same HDTV for $2999.98 including delivery and setup, five hundred
dollars cheaper than Amazon is offering it. That is a surprise to
me, because Amazon normally has the lowest prices.
