We were pretty impressed with the LV5500 when we reviewed it this year and definitely enjoyed using the new Magic Wand remote.
LG 55" 55LV3700
The 55" 55LV3700 is a slight step down from the LV5500, it does contain many of the same features as the higher end model but does not inclue the cool new Magic Wand remote though it can be purchased separately. If you plan on using the Smart TV internet feature a lot we would recommend purchasing the motion sensitive remote as it does speed up using the service.
