Question: Does this TV have a shiny or matte scree? My TV room  has lots of  windows, so glare would be a problem
Document: This TV is just what the doctor should write a prescription for. I chose the 55 inch over the much larger, because of the room size. There is just to much good to say about this LG TV. The 3D picture and sound is out of this world. My granddaughters could not get enough of the 3D. I have a serious back problem and waiting for surgery. My only enjoyment is watching TV. This TV has become my good friend. I can check emails, pay bills while being comfortable.
I am waiting for a replacement magic remote because mine quit working the second day. Lots more adjustment features that I am still getting used to. Beautiful picture. I am withholding the 5th star for now because of the problem with the remote. I will write how I feel after the first month.
With the screen almost meeting the edge of the TV it tricks the eye into thinking its smaller than what it really is. Its still a nice size TV but if this is your center piece for a large living room I would definitely go with a larger version of this TV.
Great TV so far. Great picture, bad sound of course, and nice 3d. The only problem with this tv are the advertisements on the HOME page. If connected to the internet you can log onto your router and block these ports to rid yourself of the problem. If the advertisements weren't there this would be a 5.ad.lgappstv.comyumenetworks.comsmartclip.netsmartclip.comsmartshare.lgtvsdp.comibis.lgappstv.com
If you have a regular remote you would have a dedicated button to change the inputs, or aspect ratios, etc. To change anything in the TV you basically stop to watch what you were watching because a new screen pop-up for you to annoyingly navigate under menus and windows.
This TV has a Headphone jack that would have worked, but I couldn't get it to work, and I'm pretty good at settings. This TV also has an Optical Toslink audio output, so I purchased this inexpensive converter adapter from Amazon and it solved my Audio problem:B009GER8A6So, readers...I think I have tamed down and transposed most of the often used functions to my MX-500 remote.
After using my Logitech remotes for so long I am used to lots-o-buttons. But this one only has 14 buttons and a wheel. Everything else you need is on the screen and you select it with a cursor that move as you point your cursor at it.Bad: As neat as this is, I can imagine this would be difficult to use for some elderly or disabled people.Ugly: Trying to use the remote first thing in the morning or when you are sick.Good: 3D!
As with all LEDs there is a reflection at times especially in black or when the television set is turned off in a brightly lit room. It would be perfection in a dark theater room but alas mine is in a well-lit living room. The 2D has so much depth to it that sometimes I think it is in 3D.
Normal viewing excluding golf and soccer is beautiful but I am sure when football season starts , I will notice dirty screen effect in the green background.For me, this tv I would not buy again due to this dirty screen effect. It  can ruin watching sports, not all but most. This is a problem you can google and find out more. LG has had problems with some recent panels. Hopefully, this one is a fluke lemon.
I got a universal remote since again the TV could not do its job. See the pattern here? It misses the boat on several key items. Disappointed with you LG!!! I've had a Zenith plasma forever (LG parts), it still kicks butt in our bedroom and I've always been a fan of LG appliances, but I would not recommend this TV. Also has poor light glare, light prism/rainbow effect and cannot watch during the day since we currently don't have blinds!
Answer: Well, the screen tends to lean more toward shiny than matte.  Not like plasma tv glassy smooth and shiny but definitely not matte.  Our living room has 11 windows and most of them are south facing so a huge amount of glare as you can imagine.  So, what we do is to simply rotate the TV out of the glare zone.  The base allows certain amount of movement (using built in rollers) to the right or left and that's plenty.  Considering how bright how room is, it was quite impressive to be able to watch tv with the curtains not drawn.
