I selected this TV based on size and the good picture I saw on this model at Sears. Purchased from Amazon after price shopping. UPS delivered a slightly scuffed up shipping box. The shipping box said it had the AUSYLJR panel. I compared the LG web site contrast ratio to the two different Amazon stated contrast ratio and none agree. Installing the base with eight screws was easy. After my DW assisted me in carefully lifting the TV to the top of my dresser I was ready for the smoke test. But first I noticed a small factory nick on the frame under the protective sticky tape. One star deduction for this blemish. On power up the set went into a simple set up mode but I was stopped cold when it first wanted to scan OTA channels. I hooked up some powered rabbit ears and let it automatically do it's thing. Once that was done I switched the input to an HDMI cable from my cable box and all looked good. It was quite easy getting a WiFi connection. All I had to do was enter my Linky password. Then I clicked on Netflix and got an authorization message. Meanwhile the TV started updating its software which took maybe 10 minutes. After it rebooted I discovered that it erased my Linky password so I entered that again. Now for the Netflix test. I selected the documentary Restrepo, hooked in my headphones and began the Netflix test. Immediately I was blown away by the video and audio quality I was watching. Trust me. It was outstanding ! ! Second day impression: The few free LG apps are a joke. The Facebook app is not very good compared to the Facebook PC web site. The TV broadcast image seemed a lot darker than I liked so I turned off the energy saving mode which solved the problem. I noticed that when my cable DVR, in pause mode, went to a black screen with a small moving screen saver image there was a less black area around the moving image. The Amazon price just dropped on this model. Amazon then agreed to match their new lower price - one time only. First week impression: The LED lighting slightly leaks through the air vent holes on the back of the set. This LG TV is still displaying an outstanding picture but I'm not much a fan of LED TVs. I prefer my older Samy 650 LCD only model in my TV room. This TV was assembled in March 2011 and sold to me by Amazon in April 2011. Amazon seems to change the price up and down on this TV nearly everyday. The LG shipping box goes to trashman today because I'm keeping my baby. Second week impression: Discovered that you don't need to install any LG supplied software to easily play mp3's or see jpg's that are located on any of your local network's computers. 48 of 48 people found the following review helpful. Life is Good By E. J Tastad Update 7/6/11: Firmware update 4.0.11 adds hulu plus. This will be of interest to some users. Pros: Nice large crisp picture Huge number of picture adjustments Low Power consumption Includes Wireless Network Adapter that can act as a router Viewing angle Cons: Not many apps Had to configure for best image quality for movies Auto back light becomes annoying (disable it) Some light bleeding is noticeable on black backgrounds with white text. Bottom Line: Nice TV. Remote is easy to use, controls are intuitive. It offers a huge number of picture adjustments for calibration purposes. Lots of inputs, and nice slim design. The image is nice and sharp (and not overly sharp). Browse the internet review sites to find some values for setting image parameters up for best image quality (or at least a starting point). The "Cinema" mode isn't bad if you turn off the auto back light (this feature turns the back light off for dark scenes, but it is noticeable on this TV model as it is a global back light. The more expensive models have a localized back lights that might be less noticeable. Power consumption with the back light at max is about
