LG 47" 120Hz 3DTV - 47LM4600 - $549 - Free shipping at Newegg

Been waiting for a good deal for my first HDTV around this price... Finally decided to go for it.
Don't care about smart tv, since so many other ways to get those features.

Not a bad purchase by anymeans, but there have been 50 inch plasmas that don't have smart TV features for $500.

Yea, I was really close to a Panasonic plasma, but the reflective screens were not going to work with my room. Too many windows...

I have this. Got it for same price from Frys.com a few weeks/months ago.

I like everything about it except for the sound. Depending on your set-up I would advise something extra be it a sound bar, system, or even some logitech speakers. Good value at $550.

Sweet price, I'd be all over it if it wasn't for space in the bedroom. I'll be looking for a deal on a 42" though.

I was about to pull the trigger on this the other day from Fry's until I read the reviews on avs forum. A lot of disgruntled owners on there. LG says it is Tru-Motion 120hz yet it is not really 120hz and you can not adjust the tru-motion in the settings like you can on the higher end LG models. LG said last year they were going push an update to allow you to change this settings but it has yet to come out. The set is this price every few months from Fry's, so I think I will hold out a while longer to see if any other slick deals come along.

I'm not sure what you're going on about. I own this TV and love it. I guess I'm less bent up over slick marketing terms.

I'm not knocking the TV, just want people to be aware they are not getting a true 120hz LED TV as advertised. What LG does on this model is a smoothing method that is nothing remotely close to actual 120Hz frame rate according to the test performed.

My guess is that they want to turn trumotion (frame rate interpolation) off and don't have that option yet. **nevermind, see mholla's post above.

At any rate (pun!), I think the main drawback of this tv is the disappointing quality of the 3d. However, at this price you could just consider it for its 2d (60Hz input) quality which is quite good and it's still a decent deal.

How is this for console gaming?

I play fighters on it and, in game mode, it's pretty good. It feels like less than 2 frames of input lag but I have never tested it.

I got ya. I was probably going to play mostly sports games and shooters on here, just casual gaming so not for extended amount of hours either.

Ah yess. You made the right decision! Enjoy your tv man!
