Your screenshot clearly shows 1: QA server (current server) as being highlighted. Mine shows 0: Production Server (Current Server) and its highlighted in yellow. Also your server index is 1 where mine is 0. Since you can't change the server on this sub-menu, I was simply asking what your server setting (which is user selectable) was in the other sub-menu (6. System 3).

...is the 55LM7600 actually worth the $1400-$1500-$1600 we're seeing online?

I just started seeing some flashlighting on my 47LM7600, but it's only there when there's no picture. It has no impact on PQ when the TV has an active signal. Price is always subjective but the 47" is worth up to $1200 in my opinion (tho I paid much less). I'd say the 55" is probly worth $200 - $300 more than the 47". Using the CNET settings alone I've been able to dial in a very good picture. This leads me to believe anyone with real calibration experience could really get this TV dialed into a picture that's more than worth the price.

I am new to LG TV. I am coming from Vizio XVT series which I really like. It's now for the kids to play game. I looked at few other brand and took home many diff set over the last 3 weeks. I ended up with 55LM7600. All, I can say is "WOW!!!" The panel is extremely nice. Beautiful design!!! I got the set from BB. Do people recommend BB service plan or should I look into SquareTrade?

I also had the same issue. my 47lm7600 didn't recognize the HDMI if connected when tv is already on. Then I figured out i had wifi on and also LAN connected. I disabled the wifi and started TV on LAN and everything is back to normal

I am guessing I am not the only person who's TV has this but for most people this is not an issue because if they are watching SAT, most likely when they turn their TV back on they will be watching SAT again. My family sees the issue because my kids will play x-box on HDMI3. They turn off everything and my wife comes along and wants to watch DIRECTV (HDMI1). She turns on the TV and the SAT box (but not x-box) and switches from HDMI3 to HDMI1 but gets the no signal message even thought the SAT box is on. Turning the TV on and off fixes the issue. This issue does not occur as long as when the TV is turned on, it gets a signal from the input that the TV was on when it was last turned off. So if my wife comes along and turns on the TV and x-box and then switches to directtv, everything is fine. Not a big deal but still annoying.

Under "Support" now a "Patent information" choice
Also the User Guide has been updated.
I see no other changes.

Still no mention I see for the "Live Plus" option.

When the tv rebooted it had me accept the terms and conditions for something.

Tampa8,

I had some extra time this evening and figured out how to get the Amazon app based on your previous post. Once in the In-Start menu scroll down to:

12. SDP Server Selection
1. Server Index

Changing the server index to 1 (QA Server) and then pressing OK reboots the TV and the Amazon app will show up. The SDP Test Mode is also automatically changed in this menu when the TV reboots.
Changing the server index to 2 (QA2 Server) and then pressing OK reboots the TV and a Redbox Instant app is now present.

Of note, I was not able to sign into lgappstv while on these QA Servers.

Hi, I'm having an odd issue where my 47LM7600 forgets that it's connected to external speakers.

I'm using the optical audio output, with a cable to a Panasonic SC-BTT190 system's receiver.

When I first set it up, I needed to go into the inputs menu on the TV and click through to external speaker. Everything worked fine, with audio coming out through the Panasonic speakers.

However, it seems that whenever the TV is shut down, it forgets that it's connected to external speakers (despite the input setting remaining on external speakers). So to fix it I have to go and cycle through speaker options again, clicking on built-in speakers and back to external speakers. Every time I turn on the TV!

Is there some additional setting I'm missing? Or is this a known bug?

Thank you.

Just got back from my 2 week vacation... was hoping the corners weren't bleeding as badly as i remembered haha

The whole upper left corner almost a quarter of the panel is much lighter colored than the rest when it is a dark screen... some bleeding around the edges in other areas but those don't bother me as much.

I got this TV from Dell, if i were to attempt to trade it in for another model to get a better panel would it be overly difficult considering where i bought it? Or would i be going directly through LG via the 1yr warranty?

I've been glancing at the web a bit for CES 2013 info but everything i see is for new 4K TVs... where are all the new regular 1080 models for 2013!? Not looking to spend 10k on a TV

Hi everyone. FIrst of all thanks for this thread and everyone's help in it. I've read through most of it and I really learned a lot.

I finally got my 55lm7600 yesterday and I'm thoroughly impressed. I think it looks great, although I haven't found any 3d content that has made me think "wow" yet.

I have 2 questions to start off.

1. I'm just using the magic remote at the moment. Is it worth my while to pay the $$ to get a programmable remote to access the service/expert menus? I know it's necessary for some sound options but I am using a seperate sound system and have no need for that.

2. My panel is not too bad in terms of the bright "hot spots" in the corners, but along the top edge I'm getting some pretty bad light bleedthrough from the edges. Almost as if the housing is not screwed down correctly and the light gets through a crack.

I know some people have had succeess getting rid of those hotspots through calibration but is there any way to get rid of the edge bleeding through? It's not so bad but I'd like to fix it.

Jeez. For a $1500 TV, it's really a shame that the 55LM7600 has such bleed issues given all that it does correctly. It's even physically designed beautifully too. But for people to see stuff like this????

Tell me about it. For the price I paid I'm pretty well set on having a product I'm happy with. The problem is that A) I don't have a car that can fit a computer monitor let alone a 55" monster like this in it so I have to wait for delivery times back and forth and B) I live in a an apartment so I would have to take more days off work to be sure I'm home at the time they deliver it.

I feel like I got one of those bad traffic tickets that is too low to be worth fighting and too high to just slough off. I'm in a bind.

That doesn't make sense. I thought they were supposed to be offering a number of Google TV's this year, not 2.

In any case it looks like (except for improvements),

*Roughly*...
LA7400 = today's LM7600 + 60" option
LA8600 = today's LM7600(if same CPU) or LM8600(if enhanced CPU) + 60", no 47", and built-in camera.

.....trying to get the perspective right.....

@tampa8, y'know, I'm beginning to wonder if that dimly lit 55LM7600 I saw at Best Buy wasn't set that way by the staff to squash any excessive flashlighting.

From what i've read the LA8600 is their flagship 1080p model this year so its comparative to the LM9600 of 2012 but with a built in skype camera i guess?? This kind of confuses me because it appears that the upper 1080p models all have the same panel with local dimming and a dual core processor? Will probably have to wait till closer to release to get more concrete specs.

This years 9600 is reserved for the new 4k resolution beast.

I also read somewhere that the new 9600 4k showed no flashlighting or bleeding problems, i'm interested to see how the rest of the upper tier fairs this year with bleeding/lighting. If they do away with it completely somehow this year i may need to get tough and figure out how to get my LM7600 with a LA7400 haha

I read someone had success reducing/ridding the bleeding/flashlighting by lightly unscrewing (only a little) the panel screws around the outside edges back of the TV. I just started getting a bit of flashlighting myself, but haven;t tried this yet. I plan to try it soon. I do know that any LCD LED panel can have this lighting effect when pressure is applied to the surface. So the tightness of the screws certainly could conceivably be contributing to the effect. I wouldn't try tightening them, since that would apply more pressure and probly cause more edge flashlight effect.

I read that as well and was going to try fiddling around a bit tonight to see what happened.

My confusion regarding this though is which screws they touched. Are they talking about the screws that hold the whole housing together and can be seen by the naked eye when look at the back of the tv? Or did they mean removing the plastic backing and then fiddling with the screws that hold the actual panel?

If it's just the first that would be nice but I can't see it having much impact on the panel. I'll give it a go though.

I was thinking it was just the ones on the outside also. But if it is the inner ones, taking off the back housing isn't a huge deal. Just need to take precautions for electrostatic discharge if you plan on getting close to any of the electrical component boards. I would try to be safe about it either way. Just have something to ground yourself before touching anything inside and if you have a grounding clip, clip it to something metal inside the TV and the same grounding. If you're not sure what your doing, just stay away from it, or have a savvy friend assist. If you know what you're doing, forgive me for the electronics 101 lecture.

No problem, better safe than sorry. Luckily I am a bit of a tech nerd and buld all my own PC's etc so I've got it all covered!

But that's reassuring that the screws are available just inside the housing and not any deeper. I'll see how the outer screws affect it and then decide if I want to open it up.

This is likely mere clinical paranoia, but you don't want your warranty voided, so double check that there isn't a drop of black paint or some similar marker on the screws to indicate tampering. Beats me about this tv, but you've probably seen this on other devices that the manufacturer really really doesn't want you opening up. Sometimes there's a sploosh of white paint to show a screw has been tightened appropriately at the factory (to keep track of it), and other times there's an inconspicuous filling of the square recess/triangle recess/philips or torx indents with black to make it obvious when someone mucked with it.
