LG 55LV5500 Review

The LG 5500-series happens to be a flagship 2D repetition of the offerings from the latest Smart TVs in 2011. Amongst the latest features are Digital video recordings as well as the Web browsing that are unique, for now, to the LG panel. LG 55LV5500 overall smooth motion & natural colors are worth praising!

The 55LV5500 gives LED picture superiority and a lot more. One can tap straight into the instant entertainment, plus with the refresh rate of 120Hz and TruMotion- action flicks & sports have never looked more amazing!

The Design

The streaks of Subtle silver add to this TV’s design! In spite of the daunting screen size, 55LV5500 manages to be classy and is startlingly sleek- measuring a bear 29.9mm thin, draped in piano black finishing. Some additional subtle aesthetic amends include unique silver streaks that run on both the bezel sides, in addition to rounded edges plus translucent borders. They have modified the swivel stand and now it has a somewhat warped surface. Not to forget, there are touch controls that are luxurious plus some fairly dug in A/V inputs.

Moreover, one of the new additions have been the personal video recordings and the time shift function that works with any external/outer USB storage.

Talking of the department of multimedia, LG’s adopted a Media Link support which supplements DLNA-compatibility. The Media Link happens to be the proprietary standards for streaming a file via Wi-Fi & Ethernet connections with supplementary value-added details, like movie synopses that are automatically updated through the Web.
