I am truly enjoying my cover. I has traveled with me and withstood the “junk” in my bag. I give this a 2 thumbs up!
The light is just wonderful my husband does not even know I am reading. Amazing just wonderful!
2D HD quality:
I am no videophile, but the pure 2D HD quality is fantastic, and amazing considering this set is 65″.
Colors are vibrant, blacks are deep, overall i am very pleased.
There are already plenty of reviews saying that the screen quality is superb. I will confirm that this is true. Especially if you get your settings right. Go to either CNET tv settings or the AVS forumn for great calibration settings.
This is a great tv especially for watching tv during the day in brighter rooms as it has a matte screen finish.
GAMERS! This TV does have some lag. It might not be noticeable to you as it is lower then some other TVs i have played on. It is very minor and unless you are either really sensitive to lag or you are en elite gamer i would still consider this TV. It really is great. Sometimes i notice it more then other times. My setup is an Xbox 360 connected with HDMI, main game is Halo reach. The key to having low lag is relabeling your xbox 360 hdmi connection to “PC”. hit [input] on the remote, then [green]. Change it so it’s name “PC”. Renaming to the input to “PC” is suppose to disable all the extra XD processing that runs in the background. Don’t forget to hit [AVmode] and select GAME too. This was KEY to having low lag. The tv had terrible lag in game mode and even more terrible lag when it was not in game mode. But for some reason when you relabel it to PC it magically disappears.
If you are considering purchasing a new TV, you would be making a HUGE mistake by not purchasing the LG 55LW6500 3D,LED,Internet Ready,240Hz,model. I just had mine delivered and set up by a neighborhood dealer and I am extremely pleased. This TV is simply magnificent. I love the passive 3D glasses ( my daughter accidently kept the 3D glasses from the last time we went to a movie theater and those glasses work on this TV), the matte screen which practically eliminates screen glare from my windows and lamps directly accross from the TV. The picture quality is superb. I was watching a baseball game the other day and was able to see the pitchers cleat marks on the pitchers mound. Before you think, why the heck do I want to see cleat marks , I’m merely trying to illustrate how clear the picture is.
I had some questons about the operation of the TV that I could not find in the use and care manual, so I called LG customer service on Saturday. The rep that answered the phone was VERY helpful and solved all my issues. As a matter of fact, he spent an hour on the phone with me explaining the answer to every question I posed. He told me to call back anytime 24/7 and he’d be more than happy to assist. This is really unusual for a company to have this type of customer service without having to go thru a myriad of press 1 press 2 press 3 options. I am VERY impressed with LG. I will buy anything they make with that kind of customer service. I know this review was quite wordy and I apologize for taking so much of your time. Bottom line is: Don’t wait another minute to BUY this TV NOW. I guarantee you will be depriving yourself of some of the best TV viewing EVER. The 3D picture is nothing less than movie theatre quality 3D. One more thing, I have it hooked up to a surround sound system, but even before it was connected the TV sound was very good.Hope this review is helpful.

All other settings were left at the factory default. Please try these settings for yourself and I promise you will be pleased. If anyone can add to these please let us know. I love the fact it is an LED TV. And this model of Sharp TV (632u), happens to be the most energy efficient of all LCD TV’s this size. Sharp’s 5th generation LCD is at this time the most advanced LCD made on the market today. Sharp is making the screen for the Pioneer Elite series of TV’s. Aren’t you glad that we didn’t opt to pay extra for the “240 Hz motion enhancement” only to have to turn it off? That fact alone gives me a double feeling of satisfaction with this TV. I would like to know a lot more about the LED bulbs though. I wonder if anyone can tell me if the LED’s will last as long running at full lumens when compared to reduced lumens. (I believe they will) I would also like to know the typical life expectancy of this TV. I believe it is typically 50,000 hours but I have no hard facts on this. Let us know if you can. Good bye and enjoy!
For surround sound, route the optical cable from the TV to the surround sound receiver, not DVD player to surround sound receiver. I know I stated earlier that my BluRay player seemed to be more in sync with the tv picture but it is not. The delay was much less than coming from the satellite but there is still a slight delay in audio. If you run an optical cable from the tv to the surround sound receiver the TV process the sound the same as the picture and there is no delay. The only problem with this is the TV only puts out Dolby Digital and cannot output DTS, so for people who favor DTS (me) you will have to either learn to like Dolby or listen to DTS audio that is not in sync with the picture of the TV. Hope this helps those have have run into the “out of sync” issue.
I bought this item through Paul’s TV by way of Amazon. It is totally great. It arrived earlier than expected and when it did arrive, I was contacted and asked when would be a good time to have it delivered AND set up. Free delivery and free set up. It was unpacked, the cables were connected, the TV was checked to make sure everything worked, then I was given a lesson on how to use it all. Afterwards, the technician picked up all the trash and only left the box in the unlikely event it should need to be returned. Great service. As good as this television is, it is best to view it straight on, or no more than at 45 degrees otherwise it begins to look greyish. The colors are brilliant and so very crisp. Don’t know if the yellow really does enhance this TV, but I can tell you it looks much better than my other HDTV. It is not LED however. The sound leaves something to be desired, but nothing a good sound system can’t handle. As for the 3D experience, too me it is out of this world. Better than what you see at the movies. Wayyyy better.
We had had it about 2 weeks now, we are very happy with this HDTV, good color, blacks are rich, sound is acceptable but not great. Sound must be at 100% to hear well on some shows but most programs are fine. We have enjoyed the preloaded apps. Time will tell if the reliability is as good as Consumer Reports shows (3% repair rate per 1K and it beats LG and Samsung).
Great tv. We are so happy that we bought this tv. It has a great picture. The only thing is the remote could have been better. It really needed a qwerty keyboard.
I just filed a return request on Amazon for this item, as there was a defect in my TV. A thin black line appears on the screen, vertical, around 2/5 ths of the screen’s horizontal dimension from the left. The LCD column is not lighting up. I am not sure at this point whether to order another one again or go for a different brand. I am giving it one star overall because of the defect. Other reviewers, please let me know (comment on this review) if you had a similar problem.
Other than that, this is a decent TV for the price. The HD quality is good and so is the 3D, although I hadn’t had an opportunity to watch a real 3D movie on it. I used the TV’s 3D simulator and it kinda did an approximate job with simulating 3D.
Update:
The new replacement TV I ordered is working fine.
