  • Owner's manual

Q: How far from the sides are the feet on the stand? Would this sit on a table that is 36 in. wide?

A: Although we do not have an exact measurement for how far apart the stand legs are, the LG 49" Class (48.5" Diagonal) 1080p LED TV, Model # 49LF5500 has a width of 43.5" and the stand legs are about 1" to 2" from the sides of the unit so even if you take the more generous difference of 2", that means at the least, the stand legs will be 39.5" apart so they would not fit on a 36" table...^IFV

Q: Does this TV play video formats from USB?

A: You are right, that's exactly I was trying to do. with my limited technical knowledge I can tell you that this TV doesn't have necessary codecs to play videos directly from external storage through USB port. It detects only photographs from such external storage.

Q: Is there an earphone jack for this TV?

A: The ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 49" Class (48.5" Diagonal) 1080p LED TV does not have a earphone jack on it. It has an Optical Digital Output for connecting to External receivers, Sound Bars and other Stereo Audio Devices...^IFV

Q: Is this set manufactured with any Mercury or Byrillium?

A: Although mercury can be found in various consumer and commercial products, the owner's manual for the LG - 49" Class (48.5" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - HDTV - Black, Model # 49LF5500 has the following warning: WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Labeling laws in some states may aid you in identifying which products contain mercury. Some states, have passed laws requiring manufacturers selling products in those states to label those products containing mercury. You can contact our Customer Interactive Center at (800) 243-0000 for a more appropriate answer to your inquiry...^IFV

Q: Color

A: The television is black.

Q: what is the difference between a "refresh rate" of 120 hz versus 60 hz

A: A 120Hz refresh rate should result in less blurring and interpolating in quickly changing video, like a runner's legs. That said, I am happy with he 60Hz set i just bought. And keep in mind that computer monitors are generally refreshing at 60Hz. If yoiu've watched video on your computer and have not been too distracted by blurred fast moving video, then maybe it's a bit of a non-issue. But I suppose it won't be long until all TVs are 120Hz (or higher).

Q: how big is the closed caption

A: FCC regulations for Close Captioning require covered devices such as the ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 49" Class (48.5" Diagonal) 1080p LED TV, Model # 49LF5500 to enable consumers to adjust closed captions in a variety of ways, including their color (both text and background color), size, fonts, opacity, edge attributes and language selection. Regrettably, the actual size of the fonts is not given since this can be adjusted to suite your needs...^IFV

Q: Does this TV come with a remote?

A: The LG 49" Class (48.5" Diagonal) 1080p LED TV, Model # 49LF5500 and all other LG TVs come with a remote...^IFV
