Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the LG 55LE8500 by Steve Kindig Why choose an LED-LCD TV? Reason #1: Awesome picture quality. The LED backlights in these higher-end LCD TVs can give you better picture contrast and more lifelike colors than sets with typical fluorescent backlighting. Reason #2: They're more energy-efficient than plasma or regular LCD TVs, helping you lower your monthly electric bill and helping the environment. LG INFINIA: Raising the bar for LCD design and performance The 55LE8500 is part of LG's no-compromise INFINIA series, offering picture quality that competes with the very best flat-panel TVs available. This remarkably thin panel less than 1" thick! is made possible by LG's "Full LED Slim" technology, which is their latest and most advanced backlight. It also helps the 55LE8500 produce some of the deepest black levels and most lifelike colors we've seen. This is one of LG's best performing non-3D LCD TVs. This set's strikingly sleek bezel-less design makes the entire front of the TV one seamless surface. To produce the best LCD picture, you need the best backlighting Most LED-LCD TVs have the LEDs spaced around the edge of the screen only a handful of models at the very top, like the 55LE8500, use a "full array" backlight. A grid of LEDs illuminates the entire screen area, and LG's design groups these LEDs into 240 zones which can independently shine, dim, or darken. This precisely controlled "local dimming" enables the TV to simultaneously display everything from the infinite black of a deep-space star field to the brilliant white of an Arctic snowfield even in the same scene. THX picture settings ensure a super-accurate picture, day or night The 55LE8500's THX® certification means it passed more than 30 rigorous picture quality tests to ensure top-notch image resolution and color accuracy. And because the amount of light in your room has such a big effect on picture quality, LG includes separate THX settings for daytime viewing and for watching at night with the lights dimmed or darkened. Watch web video on this big, beautiful widescreen LG's NetCast Entertainment Access makes watching Internet content on your TV truly easy. It brings some of the best online video sources directly to your television no computer required. You can watch movies from your Netflix® Instant Queue, download high-def on-demand titles from Vudu®, or share a video call with a friend using Skype. If you have a wireless network, just add LG's Wi-Fi® adapter for a hassle-free connection. More high-def connections than most TVs The 55LE8500's generous set of connections offers high-def inputs on both the back and side panels, including four HDMI inputs and three component video inputs. Connect a Blu-ray player, HD satellite or cable box, and high-def video game console. This model is also "Wireless 1080p Ready," giving you the option of an uncluttered setup free of audio/video cables when you add LG's wireless media hub (sold separately).

Great customer service. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Gorgeous Picture / TV Written By Marconos, Stanton, MI on Sunday, January 30, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased this TV a couple of weeks ago. The picture is outstanding. Options are easy to use and configure. The banding that people talk about only appears on VERY bright screens (like solid white, so Apple commercials), my wife couldn't see them till I pointed them out to her, they are so subtle. I would highly recommend this set it just works so nice. The 32" screen that came free with it is icing on the cake. Very solid 32" screen that has an excellent picture. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 LG 55LE8500 Written By Tony D, Hackettstown, NJ on Sunday, January 30, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This TV has exceeded our expectations in many ways. The picture quality is excellent and together with an Apple TV has provided us with new ways to enjoy our music and pictures. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Fantastic! Written By Paulette M., Northern California on Thursday, December 30, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This TV is wonderful! I'd been shopping for a new flat screen when I came upon this fantastic deal from Crutchfield. A 55" top of the line LG, and no shipping costs. The TV's were shipped the day after i ordered them and arrived just days later. The picture on this TV is breathtaking. You cannot believe how bright and vivid the colors are and how clear the picture is. I have not noticed the banding that other reviewers have described. Thank you Crutchfield for the awesome deal!! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great 55" 2D LED! Written By gooch, Pa on Saturday, December 18, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I scored this TV and couldn't be happier with its quality. Well, I lie - the horizontal banding others mention does certainly exist but I only notice it in scenes that involve a solid bright color for an extended period of time. I knew about this before I purchased though so this came as no surprise. I went with this TV after scouring the net for reviews - you name it - I read it. I also compared to comparable models by Samsung and Sony in this range since I've never owned an LG and I currently own a Bravia and have owned Sony TVs for years. Hands down, this LG had the best reviews across the interweb. The TV menu options are easy to use, making video configuration a breeze for even the most novice of users. The picture is absolutely stunning outside of the banding issue. The remote is probably a con though. For one, I think the layout of buttons is poorly designed, causing awkward grips when trying to press some of the most common buttons. And two - for a TV in this price range, I'd expect a "smart" remote of sorts. One with a mini screen on it, or a wand of sorts. But I didn't buy this to stare at the remote, so let me end with this.. Believe the hype you read in reviews online. This thing really is all that. If you don't care about having 3D just yet, but you want one of the best LED pictures on the market, this baby is for you. I passed on 3D due to price and the fact that the technology is too immature for me to invest. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 deep black levels, uniformity (banding) only problem worth mentioning Written By bryman, reNO on Thursday, December 16, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) purchased this to replace 52-inch v-series sony I've been watching for 18 months. Although the glass screen obviously will give some glare in a bright room, and I do have this in bright room, the picture is searingly good in daytime and the ability to rotate the screen (which I didn't have before) makes glare reduction very easy if you are watching from a certain position in the room. Crutchfield service is great, and I found a fantastic deal as I always seem to do on this site (thanks Crutchfield). The black levels of this screen are as advertised, and the picture quality is not only sharp with great color, but is a MAJOR upgrade over what I was watching before (which is now in the bedroom, lucky me). It is saw-eet, for sure. The problems I'd read about online, however, are evident when you turn the lights out to watch a BDP. There is banding that becomes noticable in slow pans across bright scenes and you will see the halo effect. I'm also not a big fan of 240 hz but this is controllable with a disc, mostly something I see watching TV and it is what it is. All in all, I think this is very close to the best LCD on the market right now, thank you Crutchfield for getting it into my wheelhouse. -b 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 It is an excellent product. Worth the money spent !!!!!! Written By JeffB, Tompkinsville, Ky. on Tuesday, December 07, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This 55" full LED slim LCD 240Hz TV is the best investment I have made in a long time. I've had my new TV for about a week - and I am still finding new features! The clarity is unreal and it was so easy to set-up to begin watching TV. This is good because I am no guru on setting up anything electronically. Excellent product . Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Prefer Plasma Written By Dick T, Mason City IA on Tuesday, December 07, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I replaced a 42" Plasma with this product hoping to upgrade to a high end LED/LCD 55" TV. I am very disappointed in the preset selection of viewing choices. (Vivid, Standard,Sport, Game etc). All have to be adjusted and I can't find one the is acceptable for all media viewing. If this is the best that 240Hrz refresh rate can do to eliminate blur, it is nothing but a marketing ploy. I should have bought a Plasma either Samsung or Panasonic. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Amazing picture Written By jlaf, oxnard, CA on Monday, December 06, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had this tv for about a week and I am very pleased. High def and blu rays looks amazing. I haven't used the internet through the tv yet because I use netflix through my blu ray player. I'm sure I will try it out in the next week or so and if it doesn't work well then i'll adjust my review. I bought this tv on sale and for the sale price I would definitely recommend it. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Amazing TV Written By John, Pittsburgh. PA on Monday, December 06, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Without a doubt this TV is the the most amazing piece of technology I have ever purchased. It makes my old crappy Samsung DLP look like something my parents watched the Honeymooners on. It configured the network connection in seconds, updated it's software in minutes and my Neflix account was installed without a problem, unlike my BluRay player. The picture is awesome, especially for the Pens games---Hockey looks almost too real on this TV! Easy to use remotes, easy menus, great preset image modes and it doesn't heat up my living room. Crutchfield was great, they called the house to confirm the order and shipped it the next day. I would definitely recommend both LG and Crutchfield to anyone looking for electronics. Without a doubt. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good Choice Written By Gregory, Fenton,MI on Sunday, November 28, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent picture easy to use. The glossy screen can be a problem if the lights are on and can be seen as a reflection on the screen of the tv. This product was delivered damaged in shipping on Tuesday and Friday I had a new one. Crutchfield truly has great customer support and stands behind their products. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great LED TV Written By Chris, Midland, MI on Thursday, May 27, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had purchased a 58" Samsung plasma previously that had a great picture but it also unfortunately had an awful buzzing sound. I sent it back. The LG Infinia has a fantastic picture, better than the plasma in my opinion, and with the local LED dimming feature, the contrast ratios that are achieved along with the color palette make for a stunning visual experience. There are a lot of things that can be done to tweak it, but I mostly turned those features off. This is a high end device and I am really happy with it. 23 out of 27 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
