LG 55LV5500 Review Page 2
Value Rating: 7.5/10
For those that plan on viewing lots of Internet functions on a TV and do not care about 3D readiness this could be the perfect TV for you. The extra Magic Wand motion controller remote makes Internet browsing and using the supplied Internet suite easy and fun. Other extras include a Wifi dongle. At $1799 at most authorized Internet retailers this 55" TV presents a compelling value with competition coming from the Samsung UN55D6300 and UN55D6000, and the Sharp LC-52LE920UN series at 3" smaller.
Overall Rating: 7.75/10
Calibration: The LV5500 series has a expanded 10 point white balance control settings menu (or you can choose the 2 Point scale) as well as a complete gamut color management system adjustments. To dial the TV in perfectly follow the following settings:
