One of the questuons/answers said this is an LCD, and has bad motion blur....but this TV is LED, not LCD, right? Am I misunderstanding something?

I'm at work and don't have the box in front of me, but I believe it's an LCD screen but it's backlit with LED lights. When my last LCD went on the fritz, I discovered that the screen was backlit with fluorescent tubes and one had gone bad. So the new thing is to backlight the screen with LED. Should save energy and the bulbs are more stable.

I just hooked up my TV. It is LED. I'm a big fan of LG TVs because of their picture quality (I own 3). I stopped using Samsung because their products never seemed to last very long.

This TV is an LED television. From experience, I can say that picture quality is directly dependent upon the bandwidth and/or quality of the signal, especially if watching Netflix, Amazon or any other Internet video service. When I was on a satellite TV service and only had 6Mbps Internet service, all of my video on all of my televisions were worse than they are now. I now have cable service and 30Mbps Internet. One of my LG sets is 3D. I found it annoying to try and watch on the slower service but now that I have higher quality service delivery the 3D is fabulous. Watching Sandra Bullocks tears float across my living room was amazing. I hope this helps. This TV is an LED television.

Just buy it. It has no motion blur that I can see, and I am picky when it comes to video quality. Perhaps if you go close to the screen and put your brain on slow-mo mode (if your brain has a slow-mo mode) you can see it. The only problem with this TV I have encountered is that smart share doesnt play many file formats, and the tv is not compatible with the logitech TV cam HD.

OK so I am thinking about buying this TV. I am most interested in picture quality and price, but of course there is more to buying a tv. So can anyone here tell me if they have buyers remorse, and if so, what do you wish you had done instead??

Motion blur is a very subjective thing. Everyone seems to look at it differently. In my opinion, TV's that are built for a standard refresh rate (60hz) are generally the most consistent to how they deal with motion blur, because it's a well established standard, so everyone designs for it. If you're using a non-standard refresh rate (say 120hz), then the software has to deal with modifying the input, and you have some sort of conversion going on. I've seen TV's that look *terrible* even on simple camera pan's, because they use a non-standard refresh rate and the software deals with it poorly. On the other hand, the owner of that TV swears it looks great (maybe because he shelled out $$$ for it). The absolute best thing you can do is to see it in person. That's really the only way you can tell if it's going to work for you or not. Partially as well it depends on TV settings and input source (and settings), so this is something that can be really difficult to figure out before you pull the trigger on your purchase. Fortunately Amazon does have a good return policy, so the best thing may be to buy it, try it, and return it if you don't like it.

The display is blue LED on my unit. Why the heading says LCD...I would attribute the error to lack of knowledge of the product or someone not knowing the difference in the two technologies. Amazon could edit the heading and clear up the confusion.

I think the "blooming" issue is overblown. I hardly notice it at all...even with white credits on a completely black background. Who reads the credits anyway? If that's all the "experts" can find to complain about...that says a lot about this TV.

Look into Sony's Motionflow technology. I only use my HDTV for gaming and computer. But the refresh rate is not an issue for gaming at all, no motion blur what-so-ever. I have a 120Hz 55" HDTV, if you ask me this 60Hz HDTV seems better on the motion blur then my 120Hz. But I can only speak from a gaming perspective, seeing that I only use this particular HDTV for gaming.

It's almost like a LED TV. Just be careful with direct sunlight on the projection screen/wall. I have mounted mine on a specific dark room, because I'll use it for movies, but for presentations it is perfect in normal light areas.

As best I can determine, this is a proprietary model specifically made for BestBuy so that they can price it lower than the standard 32LN5300 LED TV's offered at other locations. Thereby they can say that it is not the same model sold elsewhere. This way they can monopolize the market.

@Dj M: It sounds like you either have dead or "hot" pixels. This means the pixel will by change colors or remain "black" or "white". While the TV may function normally, the damaged pixel will not function correctly ever. I would contact Amazon.com and get an exchange or refund on the unit as it arrived damaged (you have 30 days to get a full refund).

It is an LED display. There are preset light bars in there. An LCD display would be a solid display which this is not.

Most LED tv'a use some form of CPU enhancement of motion to reduce blurring and supposedly add realism. They don't always work as a positive they are easily toggled off.

That's good to know Bridger. I have this one (Samsung plasma PN50B450) as well and the manual states that brightness and contrast should be reduced to prevent burn in while play video games. Also appreciate the first hundred hour rule-mixing tv with games.Thanks. The only thing I'm worried about is my kids walking away from a video game and a screen just sitting there. But hey, for the price you could buy another one and not spend what you can for a 1080p lcd 52 inch. I know that defeats the purpose but isn't that why you would be interesed in this tv anyways? for the price?

LOL, 'fake' is a great term to describe it. Don't return it, it's fine. What you're seeing is sometimes referred to as SOE, or the "Soap-Opera-Effect" because it looks like you're watching some cheaply produced daytime television. It has to do with the way the source material was recorded, how it maps to the refresh rate of your new TV, interpolation and other large words you don't care about. What you do care about is pressing the green Menu button on your remote, selecting the first option 'Picture' and then 'Picture Options' about 9 items down. In this menu you want to change the feature called "Auto Motion Plus" from 'Standard' to 'Clear.' Walter and friends should look a little less fake now. I never understood why Samsung sets it that way by default, it drives me nuts!

I dont believe it explicitly says (in english) which it is. My last monitor was an LCD and I was unable to see it if I wasn't looking dead on. This one is beautiful from every angle....so I would assume its a true LED. I'm very satisfied with mine. It serves as an excellent media center.

I tested this model, a mid-range Samsung 60" LED, and a Visio 60" LED. I can't recall particular slowness in changing channels. The overriding issue is that these simply are not clear and crisp. You can view them in Best Buy Magnolia rooms or other hi-fi stores. It is a foundational issue. My sis went with a plasma (LG i think) too and returned it. From the reviews and ratings I thought this would be wonderful. It wasn't.

I have read and reread the descrition and can't seem to find if the display is plasma or LCD. Does anyone know?Thanks, Clara

One of the posters talks about the picture quality while using non-HDTV. I think he said he has it in a trailer, so no HDTV. Also, this unit doesn't have an S-Video connection, which is what is needed to get the best quality standard def. picture (at least that's my understanding). Which tells me that this unit is really not intended mainly for standard def viewing. Vizio, Sharp, and Philips make some units still with S-video connections. Maybe some others do, too, but so far I've found only those three brands. And if I had to guess, I would guess that eventually they'll all stop putting in S-Video connections, as more and more people start subscribing to HDTV.
