Brandon Harris: #lg_42lv5500 The cons you have given as apposed to many others reviews, and your own pros are not enough, to justify the score you have given. that is an unfair score for a well above 75 percentile TV Aug 2, 11

    Yale: Feel free to vote on pre-existing pros/cons and add your own. Don't think too much about the proscore - in the end many superior products get lower scores just because they're scrutinized. It probably should be higher than 43 but 75 is a very high score on ProductWiki! Aug 2, 11
