Just purchased and wall mounted the TV. Chose it over a Samsung, simply because of the price vs options. Samsung's was more expensive, and had the same specs.
Setup is a breeze, and the picture is sharp. The built in speakers aren't fantastic, but I'm running it through my surround sound anyways.
No complaints at all about my purchase, and I would highly recommend this to anyone not wanting to shell out $1400 on a TV -> Just get this and a Roku for the same effects as a Smart TV.

1.0 out of 5 stars LG 55 Inch Rainbow Reflection...Not a good thing..., April 15, 2013

This review is from: LG 55LS4500 55" 1080p 120Hz Edge LED HDTV (Electronics)

I just returned my 55 inch LG LS4500 because of rainbow color reflection problems caused by light bulbs in the living room...Visited HH Gregg and shined a flashlight on all of their LG LED televisions. All have the same problem...I contacted LG customer service. They sent a technician and he stated that he has never seen anything like it. Folks, they have major problems with their TV's...I would advise to investigate their line of TV's before you purchase one...4/15/13...Feel free to email me at garymac271@verizon.net

no problems so far. obviously tvs today are not being built with sound quality in mind so if you get this tv thinking it is all you will need then you will be disappointed. all you need as a good soundbar with it and you have an awesome setup that looks great.

3.0 out of 5 stars Service Needd after only 3 weeks, March 28, 2013

This review is from: LG 55LS4500 55" 1080p 120Hz Edge LED HDTV (Electronics)

I have had LG tv's before and was not happy that after only 3 weeks I had a problem with the audio --- it was making popping and cracking noises. I will say that when I called LG they got on it right away and within a week a tech came and replaced bouth speakers. Still a little concerned that there may be other problems and if so I hope it happens while the tv is still under warrentry.

3.0 out of 5 stars No 120 hz refresh rate, March 16, 2013

By

This review is from: LG 55LS4500 55" 1080p 120Hz Edge LED HDTV (Electronics)

This is a great value purchase, but, as others stated, there is no such thing as "True Motion" 120HZ rate (for sports fans only, of course). No matter what the LG reps and the cardboard box state. I have a Samsung 46 LCD, 3 years old, and the 120HZ refresh rate is absolutely obvious and is a part of the options for the user to select. Otherwise the LG TV value is more than fine for any general viewing. Just not so much for a true fan of sports - luckily not me. :)

This review is from: LG 55LS4500 55" 1080p 120Hz Edge LED HDTV (Electronics)

I've only had my LED for a couple months but I love the picture, I was worried about the sound speakers after reading so many reviews complaining about them but I'm satisfied with them and when I watch movies or dvds I can turn on the surround sound.
My older 2 channel surround system didn't have the toslink connection so I had to connect directly into the direct tv box and the dvd player in order to have surround and after just moving in to a new home I really couldn't afford to add a new updated surround system or even a sound bar for a couple months down the road.
I could of never gotten this led if it wasn't for the Amazon card, which after buying a home I was surprised to have credit available since even the utilities co's were running credit checks, along with insurance co's and seems everyone you talk too getting your first home wants to grab a credit report.
Thank you Amazon, totally appreciate the opportunity afforded me! Especially love the no interest if paid off in 12 mos ! I will be taking advantage of that offer to save money!
One thing I do like especially about this tv is I can read the guide channel without glasses or straining my eyes !

2.0 out of 5 stars You will NOT SEE "120Hz TruMotion" on this TV, February 28, 2013

By 

Michael Ruppeck (Parker, CO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: LG 55LS4500 55" 1080p 120Hz Edge LED HDTV (Electronics)

This review is tricky... I paid a great price for this TV, and by most standards, this TV is a great value. The picture is very good, it's stylish with a thin bezel, set-up was a breeze, and I really liked the "picture calibration wizard" tool.

Yet, I'm VERY upset with this purchase because LG, as well as most retailers who sell the 55LS4500, list this HDTV as "TruMotion 120Hz" - in fact "TruMotion 120Hz" is featured on the TV box packaging! I got the TV set up, went through all of the set up options, and nowhere is there an option to toggle on or off the TruMotion feature. I then went to the LG support website, noticed that there was a firmware update available for this model. I successfully updated the TV and still nothing about the 120Hz feature. I tried many TV channels and Blu-Ray, re-checked the TV options menu, and nothing. I've seen 120Hz before, its the very apparent "soap opera effect" that greatly enhances watching sports or console game playing, and on the other hand, can make movies seem "too real" or "live" - and akward looking.

I called LG support, and they insisted that the 120Hz feature is "always on". The LG service rep also added the following:

"Thank you for contacting LG Electronics USA. I am delighted to hear from you as our valued customer and I will be glad to answer your concern. Normal video broadcasts are received at 60 Hz. Blu-ray players' signals at 60/30/24 Hz. Our products generally receive the signal at 60 Hz or 24 Hz depending on the output of signal. TruMotion increases the refresh rate to 120 Hz, 240 Hz or 480 Hz depending on the model, thus smoothing the picture and creating a more realistic movement on screen. You may check the TruMotion settings under the Picture Option menu. The TV will only display the refresh rate of the signal it is receiving. Therefore, it will always display 24/30/60 Hz because, that is the only type of signal being output by a broadcast or DVD/Blu-ray. The TV will never shown 120 Hz as the refresh rate. On the other hand, this does not mean that the TruMotion is not active or working. The TV is processing the signal either through the main board using MEMC (Motion Estimation & Motion Compensation) or by using Backlight Scanning. I hope I was able to help you with your concern."

Well, first, LG needs to train thier reps better. This model DOES NOT have "TruMotion settings under the Picture Option menu" ... but, to be sure I wasnt going crazy, I finally set up the 55LS4500 TV RIGHT NEXT to my LG 55LM6200 that I KNOW has 120Hz. I set the two tv's up using one Blu-Ray player with a split HDMI signal. The LG 55LM6200 is fine!! with VERY OBVIOUS 120Hz refresh!!

So, "No", LG service rep, you didnt "help me with my concern"

Lastly, on the last page of the user manual that came with the TV (where Tech specs are listed) it says in plain black and white the MAXIMUM SUPPORTED Horiz/Vert Hz is "67.50Hz"!!! LG and retailers need to advertise this TV as 60Hz refresh.

I'd like to add, that if you dont care about any "smooth motion" feature, then this is a great value. I did care, for the purposes of this TV however, and thats why I'm so dissapointed. I dont like the misleading product feature description, nor did I appreciate the response from LG. LG can tell me all day long that the 120Hz TruMotion is "always on" - fine, its always on, you just wont see it. Just like I am leaving this "5-star review" ... keep looking, trust me, the 5-stars are there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV, for ANY price., February 21, 2013

By 

Robert A. Wilber (Elyria, Ohio) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: LG 55LS4500 55" 1080p 120Hz Edge LED HDTV (Electronics)

Here are the facts...

1) This TV has a GREAT picture, that's comparable to ANY television, regardless of price. (And I have been looking at and studying all the top end models for the past two years now, before purchasing this TV this morning.) The blacks are excellent and the detail is as good as I have seen.

2) The sound is VERY GOOD for a flat panel TV. It's rich, full and very musical when listening to audio channels. In fact, it's so good, that I am now considering whether I really want to purchase the $3,000.00 high end surround sound system that I had been planning on matching up with this TV. It's not that surround sound would not be a huge improvement, I know it would. It's just that I don't know how much I would actually use it when the sound of the TV itself is really very, very nice and quite satisfying.

3) The stand is VERY ADEQUATE and NOT flimsy like other reviewers have mentioned. It looks good and is plenty stable enough for you to feel confident that it's not going anywhere.

4) You are a fool to pay several hundred dollars for a "Smart TV", when a very good Blue Ray player can be purchased for less than $80.00 and will turn any TV into an excellent "Smart TV".

5) Personally, I am quite confident that 3D is a marketing gimmick that will fade away in a few years. Nobody wants to put on glasses to watch TV. Not only that, but many people say that 3D televisions actually look poorer that 2D televisions do when viewed in the normal 2D mode. (Which most all TV's are in most all of the time they are being watched.) And this weaker picture quality is especially evident when not viewing a 3D television straight on.

6) I definitely do agree that the energy saving switch needs to be turned off for good night time viewing, otherwise the picture becomes way too dark.

7) I bought mine at Sam's Club and paid $750.00, but when I added tax to that, it came out to be about the same price (or maybe even a little more) as Amazon. (But then again, I got it right away.)
