Good picture and great sound. Stupid "feet" stands.

"I bought this TV on a bit of an impulse. I needed a TV for my apartment, and was tired of looking. This was at the store, was the right size, looked good, had good reviews, and so I bought it.

            Overall I am very pleased. The sound is excellent, much better than I had expected; in fact, I won't be buying any external speakers now. This is definitely my favorite aspect of the panel. The picture quality is respectable, but not as rich in color or contrast as some competitors. With some adjustments I've been able to get it more to my liking.

            Now for the bad. There aren't many ports and connections, and they are somewhat awkwardly placed. If you're using a mount, this problem is amplified. I bought a separate stand (more on this in a bit), and with the mounting brackets attached, the coaxial port is blocked. I managed to attach the cable through a hole in the mount, but it is still bent very awkwardly and probably won't last long like that.

            Which brings me to my next complaint: the plastic feet that serve as the TV's stands have a very wide footprint. You either need a long table (hint: I didn't), or you have to mount it on something else. Luckily, Amazon has exactly what a person with a small TV table and a wide TV needs: a TV stand mount.

            Anyway, the TV has been great aside from those issues. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a basic display with above average sound quality."

Very Energy Efficient !

"I bought this TV (2015 model) at Target recently, and it has been working well. It only weighs about 20 pounds, so it was easy to carry and to assemble (two legs). The TV was all set after connecting some media boxes and cable and took only about 10 minute. This is a 2015 model, and the design has not changed much from last year’s model, but I really like the design. The thin and metallic look bezel (still plastic) is trendy and simple; all thick black bezel looks like a thing of the past. The 2.2 inches of thiness is about half of the thickness from my 55" sammy LED TV, and it makes easy and elegant to hang on the wall. FYI, if one wanted to wall mount, this TV has vesa 400 x 400 mm and comes with a pair of wall mount space for the upper holes.

            The factory default color setting was quite good; I did not have to adjust anything to calibrate the colors and what not. This is my third LED TV from LG (various sizes and models I’ve purchased in the past several years), and I always found that the color setting was very natural and accurate. In contrast, other brands’ LED TVs I’ve owned needed some color adjustment to make it look more natural. However, if one prefers different color presets (vivid, APS, cinema, game, expert1 and 2) are available in the menu.) I just prefer the standard color setting. On this TV, movies and TV shows look very nice. The picture quality is super clear and sharp; it's pleasuring to watch things in good HD quality. And of course, a nice set of extra speakers would help gaining more pleasure since the built in speakers are 'built in' speakers.

            One thing I'd like to mention in this review is the yellowish tint on the right hand side of the screen. It is very subtle and minimal, and I don't think it's noticeable for a normal consumer, but because I am sensitive to color accuracy, I picked out on a white background. However, during daily TV watching, this was not be noticeable at all, and mine did not show any light bleeding or dead pixels.

Overall, I like this very basic LED TV. It's not a 'smart' model, but a Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast, or Apple TV are always better than 'smart' TV, in my opinion. Picture quality is what’s impressive, and it clearly stood out among other LED TVs when I looked side by side at the store. However, the biggest pro for me on this one is the low energy consumption. I set the Energy Saving mode at medium and my P3 meter measured 29 Watts/hour. That’s probably 10 times less than what Plasma TVs used to consumed in the past. Less than 30 watts/hour is pretty impressive, and the screen is still not too dim. Now I don’t feel too guilty watching a TV too long."

Great 1080p HD TV for a great price!

By Beeson April 1, 2015

"I purchased this TV to replace my (not so old) LG Plasma TV which is listed right here:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KQRFLZQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00KQRFLZQ&linkCode=as2&tag=newcams-20&linkId=7R5RSXUYQSNRRH4D t

The TV listed above was a very good TV and I always had a great picture and sound with the plasma but sadly it died due to an all-to-common problem of overheating circuit boards.

Luckily this LG 42LF5600 LED TV kicks it up a notch. I purchased this LG TV on my birthday; when purchased I knew it wasn't going to perform like a thousand dollar TV. However, after using it for a while I can now say it is a great TV for the price. The picture quality is very good; especially after tweaking some settings I quickly had it tuned exactly to my needs regarding ambient lighting and personal preferences. I also like the nice and smooth design of this TV.

Overall the TV is performing great as long as you have the right expectations. OK, it’s not a smart TV, no extras at all… no apps, no Netflix, no Hulu plus, nothing. All you get is a TV but for the price, it's still an amazing deal, and you can buy a Blu-ray player with all of those movie apps etc. for under a hundred."
