Questions & Answers

Shopper : Does this tv have local dimming?SPENCER F : I don't believe so, I think that is reserved for higher-end TV's in this series, but I am not 100% sure. That being said, there are quite a large number of settings to tune your picture (the menu is pretty decent) to the room you have it in, that give some very impressive results for a TV of this price. I have no issues with the black levels after messing with the settings.DENNIS K : Not something that I have used yet, but the LG ad for this model states: " Our Motion Clarity Index (MCI) rates how well LG LCD televisions display fast motion. This figure represents not only the benefits of our enhanced frame rates but also our detailed backlight scanning, advanced local dimming, and powerful video processing engine. A higher MCI is better, and this television has earned a rating of 240, double that of our base models."
Sharon B : How many outlets? I want to hook up two game systems if possible, and a Blue Ray disc player. Thanks.DARRYL T : You shouldn't have any issues hooking up two consoles, if they both use HDMI. Even if one does and the other doesn't, you'll be in great shape.TARA W : I am not at the tv now but pretty sure there are only two hdmi inputs, one on side and one in the back.CALEB U : Hey Sharon! This TV has two HDMI ports. You would have to swap between devices if you're looking to connect these three products. If one of these products is a Playstation 3 or Playstation 4, you would be able to forgo the BluRay Player!WENLING Y : TV is pretty nice. It has two hdmi, one usb, one component, one AV and cable TV. hope this helpFRANCISCO F : 2 hdmi, 1 usb, 1 cable/rf, 6 rca (2 sets of video + stereo)
Shopper : smart tv? can i watch netflix?RAYAN J : no it's not a smart tvDENNIS K : Not a smart tv, but you can watch netflix by adding a Roku device and plugging into HDMI. Had my 50LB5900 for about two months and am very pleased with it.SPENCER F : This is not a smartTV. I believe the 'smart' sister model would be something like 50LB6000. The lack of internet functionality allows a TV of such nice quality to remain at this reasonable of a price. I would recommend getting a separate 'set-top' product if you just want to watch netflix, as it can save you a decent amount of money, but I can understand wanting the convenience of an all-in-one product.JONATHAN J : No not a smart TV, so no Netflix.

Love the size of the T.V. making it easier to read

My Dad had looked into new T.V.'s and so the hard work was done. He lives in Illinois and as soon as I returned to Arizona, I went to Best Buy and bought this T.V. I LOVE this tv.

Was a Great tv but......

Purchased the TV at ABT and purchased a 4 year warranty. Similar to other reviews the TV stopped working after 2 years. Started with a flash once in a while on the lower right on the screen, then one day nothing. Took the TV into ABT for a repair and they said it was not able to be repaired. Not happy that this TV only lasted two years and warranty does not cover a replacement. ABT gave me a credit for what I paid for the TV but lost the two remaining years on the warranty. Loved the picture and the sound but looks like from other reviews I may not get my money's worth in the long run.

Old Tech Junk

Thought I was getting a great buy on this unit. NO THE CASE. The unit is really old and incompatible with most new technology. Not even on LG website as US unit. The so called "SimpLink" only allows on/off control, no other features work at all, nor are there any workarounds. The unit has only two HDMI inputs, one stopped working after 4 months. Do not buy LG televisions, they do not play well with other equipment or technology.

Better picture than 60"

My son let us use his 60" LCD TV, when we purchased our TV noticed it had a better picture than his TV. Colors are bright and vivid and the picture is sharp. I highly recommend this brand and model.

Perfection, finally!

Our 9-year-old plasma broke unexpectedly. With a rather slim budget, I was so pleased to find this LG HDTV. I still cannot believe I got such an amazing television for such a low price! Set-up was extremely easy ... especially since my sound bar is made by LG. I feel like I've got the best television experience going on -- perfect picture & perfect sound (with sound bar.

Excellent TV

This TV is awesome. Good color balance and excellent sound. I play HD videos on it, and it gives pleasant experience with crisp picture quality. The panel is also nice with thin bezel. The joystick like control switches are placed perfectly. The new stand gives a different and premium look to it.

50" of perfection

I love this TV. I received this TV for Christmas along with an XBox One console. The gaming is nothing short of perfection. NO ghosting at all! Blue ray movies are superb. You can count the scales on Nemo :D The size fits perfectly in my apartment, anything bigger would be wasted pixels. I would definitely recommend this TV.

Seem to have difficulty with the remote set-up, but that is minor. Still want to buy an external sound system. This is my first LG product and I love it.

Great value.

I replaced an aging 46 inch with a large bezel. This tv offers more viewing area while taking up the same amount of wall space. Very good value at this price.

Love the picture quality!

We have owned this tv approximately two months. The picture is exceptionally beautiful. The only issue is that the closed captioning option in the settings is grayed out. I am hearing impaired and need this feature.

good value

I really was not in the market for a new TV, but got an email from a retailer with a great price on this TV. I was upgrading from a 46" that was a few years old, and this one took up about the same amount of space. The picture quality is much improved over my 5 year old model (also an LG). While this one does not have the apps, I use other devices to access the internet anyway, so it was not a factor in my decision making for this purchase. I will also say that LG has improved the sound quality over the years as well. I don't always feel like I have to run the sound through my external speakers.

Great looking and great features

We have been looking a long time for a 50 inch TV. So glad we chose this one. Great features and easy to understand, easy to set-up and connect. The slim silver frame "disappears" against a light wall - all you see is the screen. We were specifically shopping for LG as family members had large LG TV's that had great screens and sound. Other devices are easy to connect - it was all up and running within 30 minutes. I am female without a lot of muscle (unfortunately!) and I could lift it and manage it during the set-up. Have received compliments on it from visitors, as well!

I love this TV the picture is great and I bought it on sale. For the price this was great. I don't like SMART TVs and it's hard to find a high quality "dumb" TV.

Great TV at an excellent price

We have been using this TV for almost 5 months now and we have no complaints at all--just enjoyment. The picture quality is very high quality. The audio is okay with the built-in speakers but we got a surround system soundbar to upgrade the audio. Unfortunately, it seems this model (like many other models I heard) does not support 5.1 surround sound pass-through via HDMI with my surround system but we use a workaround by connecting my blu-ray player and computer directly to the surround system.

I have always been a fan of LG products they never seem to disappoint in any category. This is one example of that. It has very easy to use controls, and interface and a great sleek design.

Did lots of reviews and lg was always near the top of the ratings. This 50 inch tv was the exact fit for me with its large screen and great picture quality. I have enjoyed it for over a month now and have not found anything that I don't like.

Easy setup. Great picture. Correct size for living

Bought this set to replace a 46" set in living room. This is correct fit for that. Only complaint I have as it does not come with written manual to set it up and make adjustments. Online manual is a pain to locate and understand. LG needs to correct that.

By soundone

A awesome picture at a great price. Sharp, sleek and stylish.

Enjoy the exceptional picture quality of LG's LB5900 TV. With Full HD 1080p resolution you get double the pixel resolution of standard HD, making your HD channels and Blu-ray movies look amazing. And, because this TV has LED backlighting, colors are bright and clear with detailed color that enhances your viewing experience. Have pictures, movies or audio stored on a USB? With USB 2.0, you can just plug and play your JPEG, MP3 and DivX HD content. And if you have fast moving content like action and sports, it will look virtual blur free with LG's Motion Clarity Index 240* that lets you get into the action.

What's in the box:

  • LG 50" HDTV
  • Remote Control
  • LG 1 Year Parts & Labor Limited Warranty
