Product Description
HDTV viewing reaches a new summit of visual performance with the LG 55H90 55-inch class flat-screen TV. LG LED technology utilizes LED lamps that individually control the level of brightness--for amazing clarity and color detail, even during fast-action sports and movie scenes, as well as for reduced power consumption. LG technology allows detailed control of over 240 levels of brightness, delivering 40 times greater contrast than a typical LCD HDTV. Whether you're watching your favorite sport or action flick, or playing a hot new video game, now your TV will keep up with your fast-paced entertainment. LG's TruMotion 240Hz technology provides crystal clear motion detail even in the fastest moving sports and movie scenes. The secret lies in LG's unique technology, which processes fast-moving images at lightning speed. LG's full array backlighting employs local dimming technology for detailed control of the LED backlights based on the picture on the screen. This local dimming capability divides the LEDs into independent areas which are automatically dimmed or brightened corresponding to the brightness of individual sections of the image, which is not possible with edge" type LED sets. The result is an incredible dynamic contrast ratio measured in millions, amazing clarity, more natural color representation and color detail, faster response time for smoother, more natural picture motion as well as a more energy efficient set. LED backlighting pushes picture quality to the best levels yet. Picture Wizard enables easy self-calibration by providing on-screen reference points for key picture quality elements like black and white levels, color, tint, vertical and horizontal sharpness and backlight levels. It's like having a basic calibration disc built into your TV. LG TVs utilize a unique speaker system that delivers a clean, polished look and enhanced audio with a wider sound field.

 Outstanding LCD TV with LED Backlighting August 11, 2009

I bought this TV from our local BestBuy. I had been looking at the Samsung edge-lit LED/LCD line. The LG TV rep happened to be at the Fort Worth store, and he was really helpful. I've had the TV now for three four days, and I couldn't be happier.
The TV is used in a well-lit living area, making the matte screen useful. I have looked at a LOT of TVs, and if you're worried about the matte screen diminishing picture quality, don't be. It kills reflections very effectively. The picture is gorgeous, regardless of source (LG BD390 Blu-ray player and a Dish Network 722 receiver in my case). Beautiful color, black blacks. Try the THX picture mode - it looks VERY realistic. My mom had a Panasonic plasma TV, and this is a better picture.
Worth buying just for the futuristic standby/on power light; can be disabled if you're not as fond of it as I am.
The sound/lip synch issue with HDMI feeds has gotten a lot of attention. Using the TV audio, I had an initial problem with the Dish receiver till I tweaked the receiver's settings. Same with BD390 player. Now all is well with either HDMI TV audio or external audio. I do think HD audio, especially with HDMI feeds, are problematic sometimes (too often). I understand that a solution is coming in the form of some sort of forced sync between HDMI audio and video in the HDMI standard. Hope so. With external audio, an audio delay box might be useful.
I am sitting here watching the Dish HD NBC Today show feed. It's stunning. I am a biologist, and I recently watched the Blu-ray version of Planet Earth. It nearly brought me to tears, it was so gorgeous.
Buy and enjoy!

First of all you can get the tv at best buy during sales for 2199 and then get them to match a coupon for sears for 10% off.
Secondly, there are no voice issues if you use the right kind of hdmi cable...get the brand new updated version and you won't have
any problems. Third, do yourself a favor and buy the new ps3 to play your movies on..even if you don't need a game system.
It has wireless networking, it's down to 299 and it will display all your photos and music on your tv, it's like having a 120
gig hard drive hooked up to your tv with blueray capability. I have been looking for a year for the right tv and i knew this
was it. The picture is fully backlit, instead of edgelit like the Samsung, that makes a big difference in the details. The
other thing is that the picture is absolutely stunning. The LED technology will save you money over plasmas and last longer...
approximately 7-15 years longer. It doesn't run as hot as plasmas, the electricity cost you a lot less, there's no fear of burn in,
the picture is unbelievable and there's several places to use it as a computer monitor. Pertaining to other people's comments
about the power light, it actually blends into the background when you're watching tv or a movie, it's not bothersome at all, but
in the case that it does bother you really bad, hey, just get a sharpie, lol. Some of you reading this are wondering what tv to
buy. If you do your research, consumer reports, cnet and all those, they will tell you this is one of the best in the 55" category.
The contrast ratio is 2,000,000 to 1, the automotion ms response time is 4 or less because of the 240 hz, not as fast as a plasma but how many people were complaining when there lcd's were just 120 hz...no one was. Anyway, good luck with your decision but at the end
of the day if you buy this tv, you'll be happy.
This TV is awesome! June 20, 2009

This TV is Beautiful. It has deep colors and superior picture. The only drawback is the standby power indicator can be quite bright. But the movies shown on this TV from my Blu-ray are just phenomenal! The 240Hz make the picture sharp during fast motion. The blacks are deep and true, not grey. Why it's not included in a certain retailers 'Magnolia' section is beyond belief. Bottom line is this TV is georgeous!

I have been watching LED LCD TV's for some time, and was patiently waiting for a local retailer to bring this in store so I could see it. Finally, I decided to order it sight unseen. Best decision I made. The picture is unbelievable. It also has a setup that walks you through each element of the calibration. Finally, it autosenses which inputs are active so when you cycle through it lists those first. If you have been waiting for an LED TV that features local dimming, wait no more. This is the TV for you.

I've been very happy with this tv. Picture is very good. Remote is very good. Sound is less than great. The matte screen is why I purchased it. Almost all other 55" lcd's have a ultra clear, shiny screen. If you have a very dark room to view your tv then the shiny screen is the way to go but for the rest of us who have their tv in a normal room with windows and lights, the less reflective screen is much better.
