The LG 55 inch in replacing a 2.5-year-old 50-inch Panasonic plasma TV. The most important to First: The image of the LG is really good, I would describe it even more alive than the Panasonic.

Due to the very thin frame is the LG, however, lacks a bit of sound body. However, what bothers me more is if you have a home theater system connects to the TV has no sound. There is no parallel operation. You have to commit to an exit. I find that very sad because my Panasonic so had no problems. The smart functions were no reason to buy because I have connected a computer to the TV for me. I have tried the functions anyway times. For a network connection via WLAN, I have often disconnects even though the router in the same room is. About Lan there were not these problems. As there are apps such as max cathedrals, Amazon Prime, Netflix, various library and others. On the back of the TV, there are 3 HDMI ports, 1x SCART, a Cl + slot and 3x USB and several audio ports. Otherwise the TV provides another Triple Tuner which I have not tried it though. Overall, you get with the LG image much good quality for relatively little money, but you have to cut back the sound in other areas such as.
