Here are some lag suggestions mentioned in the past in case you missed any:

* make sure you have the latest firmware
* make sure you have your HDMI input labeled "PC"
* try HDMI3 (no idea why)
* reboot the PS3 (someone claimed rebooting the device cleared the lag)
* use "Game" picture mode
* perform a "hard" reset if all else fails (someone reported it fixed their issues and suspected that updating the firmware may have corrupted a setting)

Good luck on figuring this out.

Shouldn't there be some sort of menue with choices to chose from or something. Such as a choice for most current videos, most viewed or whatever rather than just a search option.

I have my DirectTV receiver connected to my LG 47LW5600 with an HDMI cable, and the DirectTV receiver's analog audio output connected to my old Yamaha stereo receiver and sound system. The lag between the TV speakers and my sound system is severe enough that I have to mute the TV if I want to use my sound system. Is this normal? Any way to resolve this issue other than buying a new audio receiver or sound bar with an optical audio input from the TV?

I think its time for a new receiver, the best possible solution being one that does HDMI switching and just run through that, it just pulls the audio off the HDMI and sends the video onto the TV. You can get a nice Onkyo for $299 at Fry's if you have one near and it passes the 3D through

Way too close and of course it didn't look as good as it could have. They also had it up too high so a lot of folks were not getting a correct impression of how good passive 3D can be.

At my normal viewing distance of about 11' from my 55" LG (LW5600), the scan lines (or resolution issues) in 3D that some complain about simply disappear and the image looks sharp as a tack with no flicker, no headaches, no ghosting. Just a super bright image and no hassles with battery powered glasses. I am 100% sold now on passive 3D and in my case they even threw in 9 pairs of glasses and I also bought a set of flip up LG clip-on's for $25 that work perfectly with my normal eyeglasses. (AG-F220 is the LG part number for the flip up clip-on's. If you normally wear glasses, you will LOVE these)

I just watched the Avatar 3D blu-ray and was blown away by the image. It was easily better than the 3D version I saw in the theatre. Not as big mind you but it didn't change the experience and the screen at home was brighter and sharper than in the theatre which still resulted in the same immersive experience that I got in the theatre. VERY happy with this TV so far and I've barely started tweaking settings yet. WAF has been very high as well with this TV so that pretty much sums it up! (Wife Acceptance Factor) Cheers!

Also, is this TV capable of outputing 5.1 audio? I ask because I see that it has an optical audio port, and I'd like to hookup my PC speakers (Logitech Z5500). I have an HD Dish Network receiver and a PS3. Assuming the TV supports 5.1 audio, I would just need hook my optical cable between my TV and speakers and I'd get 5.1 out of all those devices, correct? I'm still relatively new to this AV stuff

You can turn on/enable DTS pass thru in the ez menu.

Is it inherent of all LCDs?
Do HDMI cables make a difference?
Does Comcast box / Dish box make a difference?

I really like this TV except for this problem.

PS: I see it less when playing blu-rays thru my HTPC with HDMI 1.4 cable, but it is still there.

Wouldn't DTS audio come from a source such as a disk to an a/v receiver which would handle the sound? There is no hdmi out for audio from the TV! Sorry if this is a silly question but the order of the connections has me confused.

So from your Cab/Sat box to the TV, (or whatever else you have connected directly to the TV), the sound is passed to the receiver from the TV via HDMI #1. But unless the TV is hacked for 5.1 passthrough, it will be just stereo sound.

Or, correct, you could use the optical digital port from the Tv to the reciever.
