I saw it on Amazon as well. The only concern I had was their shipping time, sometime in June although other sellers seem to have them in stock and can ship immediately.

Yeah I understand your concern. The price really hooked me though. It's $250 cheaper then the 7600 and is a higher model. It suppose to ship between june 7 and june 28. Works for me because were not sure if we are moving. So I will have some time to decide the shipping address

While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible."

Don't know what this means unless it is the fact that the price a few days ago was too low and posted in error. I am still showing it is going to be shipped on Monday at the lower price. Mine was purchased from Amazon not from the other marketplace vendors.

I replace a Mitts md52725 with the 7600 and it looks much smaller. The small bezel makes it look that way.

Thank you for the quick response but I meant more like length by width

I was initially pretty pleased with my 55LM7600, especially with Blu-ray and 3D. A little bit of flashlighting, but not a dealbreaker.

However, when watching HD TV material from my Dish DVR (622), the picture quality suffers greatly compared to my 5-year old Panasonic Plasma. At times the picture looks almost SD instead of HD. I have tried a lot of the settings recommended in this thread and they don't help much. I have tried connecting the DVR directly to the TV instead of through my Onkyo receiver, and that improved things a little bit (mostly the audio sync), but not much.

I don't care much about the black level, it looks okay. But the picture just doesn't look very sharp/HD compared to the plasma. It's kind of murky, especially the backgrounds. And even with TruMotion enabled (which I hate doing because I don't like the soap opera effect), movement looks kind of jerky. Even people just turning their heads seems to produce slight artifacts - a lag like part of their face is getting temporarily left behind. And faces in general just don't look very good (my girlfriend described them as looking like "lumps of clay") and I can't seem to get a good skin tone.

Any ideas? Is this a common LCD thing and I was just spoiled by the plasma (which I didn't think had that great PQ compared to some LCDs I've seen at friends' houses, stores, bars)? Is there something wrong with the set? Or have I yet to just stumble on the right settings?

Like I said, I'm happy with the Blu-ray stuff through the PS3, which I think does look better than the plasma, and doesn't seem to have those motion artifacts. But the HD DVR just looks bad. I know I have the DVR output set correctly, it's registering as 1080i on the LG (and I didn't change anything from where I had it set for the plasma).

Since I watch more TV than Blu-ray, I'm seriously thinking about returning the set, which would be a huge hassle. I would prefer not to do it and am thinking I still just don't have something set right.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

I looked on LG's website and did a compare on the 7600 and 8600 but other than the voice activation on the remote I don't see much difference, although the specs show are very limited in what they list.

Is there enough difference in the two to consider swapping the 7600 for the 8600?


The only other difference other than the frame (one black at the bottom, one silver) is the 8600 has a dual processor (similar to a faster procession in your computer). I don't think that affects PQ but is faster when using the apps and getting on the web. So if you use the Smart TV functions it could make a difference. If not then stick with the 7600.
