Rated 100% by by Michael-M.-Shaw (Oct, 2011)Indeed, if you have connected the LG to a set top box via HDMI, this step is meaningless, since you cannot use channel input in HDMI mode.
by c|net (Sep, 2012)Otherwise, the two series have essentially identical feature sets, and we expect their picture quality to be similar as well.
