    Pros: + Picture and contrast and color are incredible, 3D is very nice
    + Speakers are really good
    + Easy set up, navigation and good connectivity
    + Remote control and user menus are very easy to use
    + Stand was very sturdy and assembled quite easily

    Cons: - Edge flashing but only on menus and things, NEVER when it counts, like during a movie

    Summary: I was walking through Best Buy a couple of weeks ago and the picture on this TV stopped me in my tracks! (seriously.) The Best Buy sales person stated it was running on the store's 720p satellite, which, if true, was even more stunning! The TV itself is sleek and sexy and minimalist. I love how there is virtually no physical border around the top and sides of the screen which is a great space-saver (you don't have a 2" plastic frame around the picture, reducing bulk.

    After getting it home it was packed amazingly and the stand was very sturdy and assembled quite easily. The TV itself was heavier than I thought it would be so it took two people to get it up on the TV stand.

    Generous HDMI inputs as well as an optical and composite for older tech like my older Bose lifestyle home theater. I plan on hooking my new Mac Mini to this as the monitor. DROOL!

    The 3D is very nice and, in my opinion, better than the movie theater. I am not real informed on the differences between passive and active 3D glasses, other than one uses batteries and electronic shuttering and the others are, well, glasses with one side darker than the other. This is a passive TV and things are stunning and the TV comes with 6 pair. Also, if you need extra glasses for a larger group or replacement, the Real-D movie theater glasses work great so just bring a pair home...

    In regards to the on-board speakers, I never use them. If you have a TV this awesome you need a home theater with surround. Kind of like buying a corvette with a 4-cylinder in it. They are unobtrusive but do add to the bulk and weight of the unit and I wish they could be detached.

    The picture was great right out of the box but I have a very keen eye and I knew some adjustments needed to be made. LG has great software and a plethora of adjustment options, some fairly complicated for more advanced users. I would recommend putting the picture type on "vivid". It will blow your mind! The picture and contrast and color are incredible. I will say that animated features are stunning! Just Stunning. I recommend watching Puss In Boots 3D Bluray and the animated movie "9" on Bluray (non-3D) to see what I am talking about. I watched Tangled on Bluray last night and...wow!

    Other reviews mentioned "edge flashing" or "bleed" and I have noticed this as well, but only on menus and things, NEVER when it counts, like during a movie. Blacks are inky and nice.

    The magic remote is nice and if you have played a Wii you will be right at home. Overall I feel it works well but needs some accuracy tweaking.

    On-board 2D-3D conversion is pretty cool but not as good as something filmed in 3D.

    BUY THIS TV!

    *Note: but before you're will buy the LG 55LM7600, I suggest you have to check for best deal at: Dealscheck.info/lg-55lm7600/

    Steven, if you knew anything about proper picture settings, you would not recommend watching any type of TV programming material in "vivid" mode. Usually, "movie" or "cinema" mode is the closest to the rec 709 HDTV specification for colour, brightness, contrast, etc. Vivid mode is just eye candy; it is totally inaccurate, and for good reason. Obviously, you are one of the "suckers" that manufacturers and retailers target when selling a television.
