| With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. - Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
- Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

 Great TV July 2, 2010
A. Wayne (Washington, DC)

The LG 42LE5400 is my first flat-screen television, and I've only had it for a couple weeks now. So there are the caveats.
But to my eye, it's a beautiful machine -- with the power on or off. I'm the kind of person who wants the giant TV in my living room to look nice even when it's off; only Samsung sets can match this LG in the looks department. It's almost impossibly thin, and when powered off it's just a cool-looking black panel sitting on my entertainment center.
Turned on, it's amazing. I haven't noticed any blurring while watching sports or action, the colors are great, flesh tones look like flesh, and the blacks look more than adequate. I did have to fiddle with the settings some out of the box -- turned the backlighting way down, for example. But to me, the television's self-calibration system seems to work great.
The Internet apps are pretty good, if a little spare. The TV connects to Netflix, Vudu, YouTube and other Internet video using an Ethernet cable plugged into my wireless router. LG sells a separate wireless receiver that you can plug into the television to ditch the 10baseT. There are also a bunch of Yahoo! "widgets" that do things like tell you the weather and check stock prices. They seem relatively useless.
So: Five stars, for now. That could change depending on the television's durability; it's a new model, so it doesn't really have a track record.
Fabulous LED LCD 1080P HDTV July 21, 2010

What a marvelous TV! I love it! The High Definition is unbelievable. The colors just pop out and are so vivid. You see colors that you never noticed before on a conventional TV. The internet and netcast are awesome and easy to set up. The sound is fine and more than adequate for TV speakers with lots of volume, it goes to a scale of 100 and I usually set mine around 10. I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone. My only complaint and it really isn't a problem, is that everywhere I look, including LG's website, states that the contrast is 4,000,000:1 but the box mine came in states 3,000,000:1. Could someone even tell the difference between 3 or 4,000,000???? I don't know, I would just like to be told what the specs actually are.
Beyond my expectations! July 29, 2010

I don't know anything about consumer electronics but bought this model television here. I could not be more pleased. The picture is crystal clear.
I thought long and hard before I bought anything this large and expensive from a website, but I had absolutely NO problem!
I should have paid more attention to my shipping options when it came to free shipping. I thought it took a few days longer to arrive than it should have, but chalk that up to my not having read all the details.
I did try to do my homework about brands and features, etc. I must have done alright because I don't see how this television could be any better. I'm going to eventually investigate how I can do the wireless hookup to my computer so that I can do the Netflix instant download thing.
You can buy a cheaper tv this size but you might get what you pay for.
Nothing tops this TV August 1, 2010

When it came down to shopping for a new TV, I compared several models from several manufacturers, including, Sams**g, S*ny, Pana***ic, Tos**ba, etc..... and from reading all of the reviews, this model had excellent reviews from top to bottom. And boy were they right. After calibrating the TV, which takes just a few minutes using the LG wizard, I saw the most incredible looking High Definition that I have ever seen. And that was just using my Comcast cable box. Then I popped in my Avatar Blu-ray and I was BLOWN AWAY!!!! I've never seen a picture more perfect in my life. No motion blur, no microblocking, absolutely nothing flawed whatsoever, even while watching fast actioned sports. The TV's speakers work pretty good for such a thin set. Even the streaming video from Netflx is awesome. I haven't tried any of the other optional internet based addons. If you're looking for a stunning picture that will not break the bank, I highly recommend getting this TV. 1080p, 120hz, what more could you ask for around $900?

Wonderful TV...a big improvement for us. Excellent packing and delivery. Feels like the people are going to jump off the screen and join you in the living room. No problems with set up.
