Question 1

Does this tv have a dedicated PC in so I can use it with my PC as well as as a TV?

Accepted Answer

Depends on what you call a dedicated PC in...there is no VGA or DVI port, just the two HDMI connections. You can use HDMI to hookup your PC (which is what you should do to take advantage of the 1080p resolution). If your PC doesn't have HDMI, you can use a DVI to HDMI adaptor or cable, but be aware that doing so will only give you audio, or if you have display port there are adaptors for that as well, which will push audio and video. If VGA is your only option and you don't want to upgrade the computer, you'll need a different TV.

Question 2

Does this TV use an optical cable?

Accepted Answer

Yes there is a port for an optical cable in the rear of the TV.  Check out the tech specs on LG's site, look for the LG 49LB5550

Question 3

What is the vessa size on this LG Electronics 49LB5550 49-inch 1080p 60Hz LED TV?

Accepted Answer

I don't know what your asking me Vessa?

Question 4

Does it have optical audio port for surround sound systems?

Accepted Answer

Hello, I purchased this product and I can confirm that it does come with an optical output plug. I have mine connected to my receiver and it works great! I will usually turn off the onboard speakers and have the audio out through the optical to my receiver. hope this helps.

Question 5

What is the distance between the two TV stands at the bottom of this tv?  Is there another type of stand available?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately I did not take the legs out of the wrapper they came in. While I like the design better then the stand that many come with I took advantage of a "package deal" where an adjustable wall mount came with the TV.

I found the wall mount both easy to install and a better option to the feet that came with the TV. It allows a better viewing angle and the tilt feature makes it real easy to see whether sitting or standing in different parts of the room.

I hope some of this helps. Good luck. Other than that the TV has been awesome so far. I bought it for my elderly parents (who are not tech savvy) and I have only had 1 phone call so far.

Take care,
-M

Question 6

Does anyone have information on Input Lag for gaming? Needs to be very very low for fighting games.

Accepted Answer

There is not much (if any) lag on this TV, but I am not much into Fighting-Games. What would be a good method to test this objectively?

Question 7

do i need a special cable cord to make picture clearer? and also the volumne needs to be made louder

Accepted Answer

You would need an HDMI cable and source if you want the best picture. You can use a standard cable from the cable box or the AV cables but you will only get a SD picture. I think the volume for this tv is fine. I did buy a soundbar for watching movies but for just tv viewing no one in my house uses it. We just use the volume on the tv.

Question 8

Does this have holes on back to mount on wall?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does. It has the standard Vesa holes. I think it measures 400x400.

Question 9

Where are hdm plug ins?

Accepted Answer

If you look at the picture of the back on you'll see two indentations.  The left one is obvious since you can see the RCA and RGB inputs (the colorful ones).  The right one has the HDMI ports, but they can't be seen in that picture because they are on the left side pointing out toward the right.  Hope this helps!

Question 10

Does this TV have a digital audio out, stereo (RCA White/Red) audio out, or no out out as well?

Accepted Answer

Sadly it does not, I found this the hard way. Wish I had known befor epurchasing. Great TV though other then the lack of outputs and slim inputs.
