Official LG "XXLH90" 240hz LED Owners Forum [NO PRICE TALK] - Page 153

So if I turn Trumo off, I won't see artifacts on 1080i sources? I'm totally cool with that; not a Trumo guy myself. I'm of the most humble opinion that if directors wanted their films to look like soap operas' they have the technology to do so. Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, just leave it off for most sources. I do prefer to turn TruMo on for Sports and Animations. It gives it a nice effect.

I'm wondering if the LG processing engine is causing the artifacts. Does other manufactures (Sony, Samsung, Panasonic) have the same issues? Someone with experience wanna chime in?

Can you guys who own this set do me a favor? Next time you see the new MacBook Air ad, take notice of the headphone icon as the ad pan slowly toward right. Does the icon look sharp during the panning?

On my set, I get massive judder as it pan slowly. The icon is blurry and bouncing all over the place. I'm trying to determine if my HTPC (mythTV) is causing the judder or if the source of the ad. I get lots of judder during NFL games too. Can't see the football very well as the camera pans across the field. Driving me nuts to figure out what's causing it.

55LHX - Black Panel Virtually the same Black as the Bezel. Could only compare to my older Dark Gray Panelled 55LH90 July and November 2009 builds and the 55LHX is far superior. Have not seen any of the 2010 Model 55LH90s, but there appears to have been a possible fix that gave them better Blacks. Re 55LX8500 - read their Forum - as is usual, some Forum Members praise it, others have returned it. Will come down to whether you prefer a Matte or Mirror Screen. Supposedly, the xxLX8500 is a 55LHX improved. (Depending whether you think moving away from Matte Screen is a positive or negative thing. Plus you may or may not get Banding Problems.) The 55LHX PQ far better when leaving the Media Box out of the circuit and going directly to the AVR. I was hoping that the 55LHX would have dropped further in price by now, as I'd like to replace my last 55LH90 with another 55LHX. But then, on reading about the new Lex8 Series coming next year?
Re: TruMotion - normally leave Off, but the odd time, blurring during the odd video, will cause me to turn it to Low.

Just Updated July Build 55LH90 from FW 3.07 to 3.13 (Appears this is as high as it would go - so, I assume starting with 3.14, the 55LH90 was a different build!?) The Bleeding Backlight into the Black areas may have been fixed!

OK, after watching MythBusters in HD - can't believe the PQ quality difference - Bolder Colours and more solid Blacks - wife has now told me to leave it alone - she loves the FW upgrade!

Can anyone comment on the stability of the pedastal included with the LG 55LH90 55" LED TV?

I just realized after I purchased it that my media center depth is 16.5 inches, and the stand is 17.9 inches deep. Didn't expect such a large size for the stand. Hoping it's ok if it stick off the back end of my media center which is next to the wall.

My problem was that the Bezel made the 55LH90 too tall to fit into my Cabinet. Ended up removing the bottom part of the stand and screwed it onto a secondary shelf that now sits on top of the primary shelf - to solidify, I did screw the back of secondary shelf to the primary shelf, at the back. Best get the wife's approval before doing this part! This now allowed the 55LH90 to be right up at the front of the cabinet. If you have the height room available, you could also do the same with a secondary shelf unit to extend forward to allow for the base: still have to have something to stop this shelf from tipping forward. In my case, since there was a shelf above the LG, I was able to put a wood piece in that went from the secondary shelf to the overhead shelf, behind the panel.

IMO, I hate the stand that this set comes with. I am wall mounting my set because of it. In my old house, our basement is a poured slab so it's not 100% level. With this stand, I had to put a small stint under the left side of the stand to balance it out. Never had that problem with my Panansonic Plasma.

Love the set, hate the bezel and stand. Can't wait to wall mount it next week when I move into my new home.

Hmmmm.... my media center is a pretty flat surface. I was hoping to just keep it on the stand so I could use the swivel function.

When you mount it, do you lose the ability to turn the screen to different directions?

depends on the mount. Personally, I will have mine flat mounted. Monoprice sells a ton of mounts that are adjustable for a good price.

How is this LG compared to the Samsung 55CN6300?

Sorry, never seen one - did you checkout the Forum for that model?

Someone stated a few pages back that it seemed like there panel never "fully dimmed" for blacks that were on the screen. It seems as if I have the same problem. I have a March '10 build 55LH90 with FW: 3.18. Any ideas? I have a certified tech coming out Thursday morning.

I picked up a 55lh90 at Costco and have gotten a really good picture. My problem is that fast action sequences on sports occasionally produces a split second picture break up. I have TruMotion off and still get it. I am using my THX settings in Expert 1 with the result of the picture wizard. All processing is off except Real Cinema.

I have Directv. Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks,

Scott

Could be the broadcast.

Any of you guys have the Firmware for the 47LH90?

The Milky Blacks were mine. After looking at Catmother's results, tend to believe there was a fault with my set originally (or may have happened during the course of owning it) that updating the FW fixed. Now have almost the same Blacks as my 55LHX. There's still the differences of the 55LHX having an actual, almost Black Panel with Backlighting of 3360 LEDs, versus the 55LH90 with it's Dark Grey Panel and 960 LEDs.
Re your Milky Blacks: re-installing the FW may correct the problem as well. I'm thinking the Upgrade EDID Data probably did the trick, or in your case, re-doing to replace possible data corruption.

Thanks. I will keep an eye on it. Never had the problem with my CRT.

A professional caibrator would have caught your "milky blacks" issue in a heartbeat.

Some of us were always aware that you were shilling the 55LHX based upon questionable and uncorroborated findings that have tended to change like the weather. Your latest gem of advice to trash the 55LHX media box because it degrades picture quality is just plain wrong.

-nony

The Milky Blacks were not present at first, but gradually developed. The FW update, and I'm going to asume that upgrading the EDID Data corrected something that went wrong. The milky blacks are gone on the 55LH90.
There are no Professional Calibrators in my town, anyone I've run in to, knows less than I do. Most of the service centers here, when queried, admitted to having no calibration equipment, instead relied on eyeballing the set! I've had to become self taught with some input from ChadB, for which I'm grateful. Teaching oneself, tends to lead in different directions. Sometimes it's the wrong way, and you end up correcting yourself, or have others turn you around and face the correct way. Hence, changes in approaches and postings.
Konica, also removed his Media Box and found a PQ improvement! Also, in talking with the Techies who repaired my 55LHX, they were also disappointed at the PQ degradation caused by the Media Box and finished up my set without it. Same with my wife's set! She found the PQ too mushy, and much preferred the PQ once the Media Box was removed, and the Input came directly from the AVR.
Please Note: we're all here to learn, teach and put forth our findings and questions in hope others will be able help, or be helped. As always, we each perceive our Video Displays differently. To one it's perfect, to another it's not! We're human, we all see, hear and perceive differently, along with our different tastes on how we like to see and hear!

Same conditions as earlier post except for higher resolution.

I got my set delivered yesterday (spent most of the day tweaking and reading the calibration thread). I have my go to settings in the expert 1 and 2 categories (night and day respectively) but I'm wondering if there is a quick way to change between the settings with my harmony remote. When using the TV remote you can press q.menu and then scroll there but in order to make it effective on my harmony it would work best with only one button. I thought the AVmode button would be my solution but it only switches between off/thx/game/sports.

Any suggestions?

I ended up getting the UN60C6300 cause it was too good of a deal to pass up, but I might have made a mistake and should have gotten the LH90

I asked this same question a few pages back. To my knowledge, the LG has no discrete IR codes for accessing Expert1 or Expert2 modes.

I've been searching around but cannot find an answer. Does the 55LH90 pass DD 5.1/DTS over the optical port from a source that's plugged into one of the HDMI ports????

Apparently many TVs did not do this before secondary to legal/DRM concerns, but some do now.

Quick question about gaming. Do I need to turn local dimming off? If so, why?

chopchop: search this thread for "audio sync".

You'll get a plethroa of info Re: Pass-Thru audio of LG's TV's Optical Audio out port.

In a Nutshell, if you have an recent f/w on your TV, mostly NO.
Else, yes- with a caveat of lip sync issues.

After extensive searching, I still haven't found a definitive answer one way or the other, so I was hoping current owners of the 55LH90 could chime in. The manual for the TV implies that it should work

Copied straight from the TV manual:

If you want to enjoy digital broadcasting through 5.1-channel speakers, connect the OPTICAL DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT terminal on the back of TV to a Home Theater (or amp).

Audio with ACP (Audio Copy Protection) function may
block digital audio output.

I also came across an old review from Costco:

http://reviews.costco.com/2070/11531514/reviews.htm


Edit: I think I am in luck!

Someone in a different thread posted about how their LG 55LH90 did pass DD through the optical out

More for game where you want to reduce input lag, such as fps and games that involve "timing" aka Street Fighter

Ya I would say so the LH90 is top notch!
