I bought this on Friday and can't comment based on personal experience yet, but the web research I did is uniformly positive, especially for the price. There's a big thread on avsforum about this set, including one person who owns this set and the comparably sized Samsung plasma that goes for $1000-1100. He prefers the LG even if they cost the same. At the price, for a 60" in any technology you're looking at at off-brand LED-LCD like Seiki or maybe a refurbed Vizio. This set should blow away any 60" LCD
I've read the reviews on avsforum as well and they seem quite posititve. I don't feel super techy in this area although I have read a lot about tv's trying to decide for myself and the reviews that aren't as good as others seem to come from TV aficionados that say its a good tv but if you were to say something could be improved it'd be this....
I think I'm gonna have to pull the trigger on this one. Am wondering though, it has USB2.0 and I have an AC1200 router that I'm using a USB 3.0 dongle on my laptop, doesn't using USB2.0 defeat the full potential of the AC1200 networking standards? They make USB 2.0 ac1200 adapters so I'm guessing not. If so I'll get an ethernet adapter at full AC1200 capabilities.
Yea seeing as how USB2.0 has 480Mbps rates and the ac1200 network runs at 1200Mbps I'll get an AC1200 adapter/access point with an ethernet link to the TV and save the USB2.0 inputs for wireless keyboard/mouse or something else.
Its Now $699 still a good deal, actually did just get it yesterday, last day at $688 price and looks really good, nice user interface as well. Will give more of a review after using it a bit more
