Question 1

What's included when you open the package?

mine comes with:

TV,
Remote control and battery 
Some screws
TV stand base

seems i'm missing power cord and TV stand body. Does yours come with these? I can't use it without these things.

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately I can't give you an answer as I still haven't opened the box since I received the TV.

If you have the owner's manual, there should be a customer service number to call and report missing parts.  The unit definitely should include the power cord and stand.

Alternatively, you could return the unit to Newegg for replacement, but the return shipping would be expensive.

Good luck!

Question 2

Is this mountable on a wall?

Accepted Answer

You'll need a wall mount, but yes.  I have mine mounted to a component shelf stand - it uses the same mounting hardware as a wall mount.  Search for wall mounts, they have a wide variety.  Just make sure you get it for the correct weight.

Question 3

Can this tv pair to a sound bar via blooth?

Accepted Answer

I will assume that you mean Bluetooth.

There is no Bluetooth in the TV, therefore no pairing with Bluetooth devices.

Most Bluetooth soundbars have other connection ports. Most will have an optical (spdif) port, nearly all have RCA left right ports, and many have the 3.5mm (headphone) jack.

The TV has optical out so you will need a soundbar with an optical in to properly pair directly with thos TV. There is no RCA or 3.5mm out on the TV so many of the cheaper soundbars will not work.

Question 4

does this tv have the Amazon instant video app?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does, just bought this at Christmas and really like it.

Question 5

Is 60 hertz enough for a nice crisp picture?

Accepted Answer

It's great actually.  I build my own computers and a lot of tech stuff and I have never owned a monitor or TV of the LG brand before especially with the price I was very pleased with everything it can do and the quality.  So to answer your question I can't notice the difference of our 120 he TV upstairs and this 60hz TV I got for my room.  Picture is great....only con is no RCA sound output, either have to use a headphone to RCA converter or optical audio out cable which is rarely used.  I hope this helps.

Question 6

Can this TV be hooked up to a Bose solo?  Does it have a audio output?

Accepted Answer

It has an audio digital optical out.  So as long as the Bose solo has optical in, yes, it should work.

Question 7

I have a wireless network, and normally use our Wii to access Netflix. Do I need any other hardware to access Netflix with this TV...assuming I do NOT want to rely on the Wii console anymore?

I read about a wireless "dongle" that may be needed.

Thanks

Accepted Answer

No other hardware is needed to access Netflix on the 55LN5600 TV. Simply 'connect' the TV's built in WiFi to your wireless network. Click open the Smart TV menu and scroll to Netflix and log in as normal.

Question 8

Is the picture screen on the LG 55LN5600 glossy or matte?

Accepted Answer

I think glossy would be the better descriptor.  That is, the screen is somewhat reflective when light shines on it.

Question 9

It looks like I can play videos on a USB stick via the USB port.  What type of videos?  Any restrictions?

Accepted Answer

i've only had it a couple days but got it primarily to play videos like this and haven't found anything that didn't work.  also, was able to connect my external HD directly to it

Question 10

I meant to say Bluetooth - can this tv pair a sound bar?

Accepted Answer

I have this TV and it does not wirelessly pair with Bluetooth.  It has a menu option for LG wireless synch, but it seems proprietary. I am using it with optical out to Sonos and it works great.
