This does not happen during active content.

I can exchange this at a store about 20 miles or so away, however I'm afraid I'll get the same or worse. Besides the fact that my husband is not fond of packing the set up and returning it.

I bought the set for $1399 price matched from Amazon and as much as I would love to trade up for a newer model, it will be much more money because of the great deal I made.

Any advice? Do you think I should just ignore and enjoy or have the Geek Squad (have 5 year warranty) come over and check out. So confused - I change my mind daily because of this.

Thanks in advance. -Kathie

LG and Amazon are currently working on the application integration. Both companies expect that launch will happen by March 2013 for all 2012 LG Smart TVs.

If anyone has noticed the LG Reps have been saying for about 4 months now that the Amazon App was being developed for those of us with the non-google Smart TVs from 2012. They had been listing an expected release date of March 2013. Since the 2/26 firmware didn't add the app...I contacted LG about it and was given this response:
So - it appears that the Amazon Instant Video app will still be showing up this month....so I'm anxiously waiting.

Also, how close you could get it to the wall, what it looks like on a table, etc.

All extremely valuable.

Recently my LG 47LM7600 TV has been crashing. It started on Netflix. The screen would lock up with like a colorful static/snow picture and a REALLY loud pitched screech. I'd have to hold down the power button for over 10 seconds to turn off the TV. It's gotten progressively worse over the past few weeks, but now it's doing this crash a lot more frequently and outside of Netflix. Even when playing on my PS3 or any other HDMI device. This did start after the latest firmware update for me, as well, if that matters. Do any of you have any insight on such an issue?

Thanks!

The drive is brand new 5gb drive, and as I said the first movie I moved to the drive played great.....

It also seems like the software on the TV is super slow as well...

My firmware is at 04.31.43

Anyone else experiencing these issues? I was loving this TV, now it is starting to annoy me....

Here's how I'll phrase it as best I can as to why this happened. Your posts did happen to look a lot like someone who is making things up. Do I know that for sure? No. Could you be on the up and up? Sure. Did I over-react? Could be: if so, I'm sorry. If you did make it up, then you'll be part of a sort of troll that is showing up now and again throughout forums. If you didn't, you tripped into a pattern that I may have been too quick to jump on. Again: I don't know, I'm sorry for the assumption, be well.

*All that aside*, if you get a pic or two in a real life setting when you get it, post it, because it'll help a lot of people.

As is often said...Without pic, it didn't happen!

TVs are far from "perfect" devices currently. Don't be among the masses that feel stuck just to save a couple hundred dollars upfront. The money you save will mean NOTHING compared to the irking you'll feel.

Remember people, you're staring at these things every day, and in most cases for hours.

Putting local dimming on high got rid of all my light bleed issues. My picture isn't murky or blurry or weird in any way, all the colors are perfectly distinct, there are no odd artifacts or anything like that and the only time I'm even reminded that I had light bleed is when an app is loading. I didn't use any setting guidelines to set it up, I just did it by eye with one set of settings for OTA broadcast, another for the built in apps and another for stuff streaming through my laptop. My dad came over the other day and watched a movie with me and every fifteen minutes just kept saying, "It's so beautiful" and the majority of this movie was set in a scuzzy motel and Steve Buscemi was one of the whiskey guzzling leads so I'm pretty sure he was referring to the picture quality.

The only thing that is causing me grief is not being able to see any change when I adjust the 3D depth in the 3D settings screen. Viewpoint controls works but depth controls do absolutely nothing. Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? I've tested it with composite cables only for now (playing Wii at the moment).

Surely I should be able to see a difference? Anyone with the same issue?
