LG 55LM4600 120Hz LED 3D HDTV $799.99 FS Walmart

Quote from iveo83 : I have always heard that electronics sold at Walmart are of a lower quality. They use cheaper parts to bring down the price. Anyone know if this is true? I think it was with Computers, so the same HP you buy from HP is not the same one you buy from HP. That makes me leery buying almost anything from Walmart.

No. Sometimes stores have exclusive model numbers, but one model number is the same across all stores as well as on the website. (Yes, including HP)

Before saying junk to anyone or anything, I think we should give some details (some feature comparisons and some data from websites are OK)......else, whoever said junk, may be consider as mindless fellow...

LG isn't junk and this wasn't a wal-mart special so quality should be fine. This was just a black friday model that was produced for Christmas and sent to all retailers. It'll be off the street as soon as LG gets rid of the inventory it produced. Hopefully, it'll drop a bit more in price the further out we get from Christmas and I can snag one then. But for $800 I"d rather have the 55 inch Panny 55UT50 plasma that Costco is selling right now.

Thanks English Professor!

The nastiness strewn about this thread is pathetic.

you laugh, but I was clearly being constructive trying to help.
thats how I was taught so clearly one of that persons teachers failed him/her

I picked this TV up a few weeks ago when it was on sale from Walmart for $840. It's a great TV with no glare in my room and the only thing missing is the "smart" apps but who cares. Just plug in your PS3/Xbox/Roku and you don't need the TV to be "smart". The next time I buy a tv the smart features and skype built in should be much cheaper I imagine.

The 4 free glasses are trash but do actually fit over my eye glasses and the 3d looks great. The convert 2d -> 3d is functional but I haven't done enough with it to look great.

With respect to "Smart TVs", I currently don't have cable/satellite - I use an antenna (sorry, is that a bad word?). So we hook up the laptop a lot and watch episodes of some shows from various sites (including You Tube, Hulu, and some of the station websites like ABC, CBS, etc).

So I guess I would like a TV that's capable of letting you view a webpage and play a video, and not one that just has apps for Netflix, etc. Are Smart TVs that have a browser capable of this, or do they not have Flash, or other needed software, installed?

Just curious what peoples' thoughts are.

Some panels support flash and java, Samsung for one as of firmware 1004.1. Although I don't think you are going to be pleased with the general experience.

Now this is my opinion so . . . I've never been happy with the interpretation of the television CE industry ability implement these features in a way that makes sense or is easy to use. I'd much rather have a standard HDTV and use a third party set top box running preferably XBMC. I just figure on a large investment that's the best way to ensure your able to update the services and use the content providing device in the most effective way.

I know it's smaller, but what are peoples thoughts on this Vizio LED 3D Smart TV?

55" is too big for the room I'm looking at and am really thinking at jumping on this one...

For those with the complaints of the LG not being a "Smart TV"....this Vizio could be another option for less than $100 more.

Thats not 3D though

Quote from cubsoxbull : LOL, Okay if you say so. My LG blows away any Sammy.

my brother and I each got an LED about 3 years ago. His was a Sammy and one of the first, if not the first LED to hit market. Mine was definitely the first LG Led out. Both pics are stunning....but my LG has much much more adjustments, modes, etc for PQ. Over 3 years later, both are going strong still and while the Sammy's PQ is undeniable, I would put my LG against any comparable model from that period.

+1 for samsung. I've owned multiple brands and still like my samsung over the others.
