          Comments about LG 55" Black LED Flat Panel LCD HDTV:

          Originally wanted to find a 60"+ LED LCDTV to replace my 61" Samsung DLP that conked out. I wasn't too excited about the new 60" options out there from Samsung, Sharp and Sony, so I decided to go for quality over quantity and buy a 55" instead. Originally wanted to get the LG Infinia 55LE8500, but after seeing this TV in person, I couldn't justify the $800+ premium.

          Best bang of the buck out there. Deep blacks (for an LCD)and accurate (and infinitely adjustable) color. I prefer its matte finish screen that is non-reflective. The big feature I like though is the local dimming. You won't find any other TV in this price range that has it. Very thin TV that also weighs less than 65lbs without the stand, so mounting is a breeze.

          Does it perform as well as the Infinia 55LE8500? No. Is it as cool looking? Nope. But it's about 90% there, and when you throw in the cost savings, this was the obvious choice for me!
