 A Television Triumph August 10, 2008

I have to say I am impressed with this technological triumph.It looks good,sounds good and the picture is impressive.It was unusually easy to set up,the programme takes you through the process without a hitch.Freeview is easy to ascertain,the remote is slim and light and not bulky at all.The shiny black surround sets the picture off,giving it a hint of "stealth".A number of visitors to our home have commented about it(good I'm pleased to say) especially as its stands out. So sit back,get a bucket of popcorn and enjoy the entertainment.

This is a beautiful TV. It gave a great picture straight from the box. The set up defaults are perfect with no need to fiddle with contrast/brightness.
I was particularly impressed with how great the picture was from freeview feed compared with more 'prestigious' models.
It's part of the family already.
Buy with confidence.
This TV still makes me feel happy inside when I gaze upon it. October 6, 2009

A fantastic LCD TV chock-full of options - both visual and audio wise - for the price! I bought this TV in The Netherlands (from a different website since Amazon.co.uk won't ship this TV to The Netherlands from the UK). Even though it is only a material object, this TV still manages to bring a smile to my face and conjures forth warm, fond feelings inside of me when I gaze upon it. I know, I know! It's just a TV and not a significant other, yet this TV has worked flawlessly since the day it arrived in June. Unlike the 1-star reviewer whom unfortunately appears to have experienced a "dud", I have nothing but praise for this LG product. Every product will have it's bad apples unfortunately, which is acceptable providing the customer service solves the matter quickly and satisfactorily (which apparently didn't happen in their case). Regardless, two thumbs up for a quality LCD TV in an economy budget price range; better TVs exist I'm sure but not at this price.
The one thing that might annoy some is that the TV is a bit slow in activating when you first turn it on in regards to the remote control, and the only way to truly turn it off is to unplug it, or turn off the power switch to the socket. Still, in standby mode the TV is reported to only use 1 Watt. Combine this TV with a surround sound home theater system (I can highly recommend Samsung's HT-TZ325R 5.1ch Home Cinema System which can be had for a good deal here on Amazon.co.uk - it's current price is a bit higher than the deal I got though, but a good deal nonetheless). If you do decide to hook this TV up to a home cinema system, remember to manually go in to the TV menu and turn off the sound otherwise you will experience an echo sound effect due to the internal speakers and the surround system speakers not being fully synchronized - I suppose you could try and program them to be in sync.
Should you decide to buy this TV, I hope it brings you many, many happy and satisfying hours of TV watching entertainment. It has for me and will continue to do so.
P.S. I forgot to mention that initially, if you are watching non-HD TV channels (which will be the case for a majority of people since TV stations have only just started to make the change), the quality of the TV images will be disappointing upon first turning on the TV. I've found that if you go in to the Menu settings and create your own screen viewing profile and adjust sharpness, colour, etc. then you can end up with a very nice picture. The initial disappointing image on the screen is due to the fact that the TV screen is capable of displaying a far better quality of image than the data contained in the TV signal allows. If the analog TV signal allows some 400 or 500 lines of data to be displayed, and your HD-ready TV can display over 700 lines, then you get a lousy image quality because you essentially get to "see" the lines between the smaller line count of the signal that is stretched out to fill out the much larger amount of lines the TV screen can display. Lower the sharpness in the menu settings and this should help dramatically.

Bought this Tv from pixmania - took over 2 weeks but besides that... "buy from Amazon!"
Now the TV itself, comes in a massive box way over 1.5m long, you have to have 2 people to set it up as it is pretty heavy and the stand is very flimsy. TV could easily fall forward...picture and sound very good. Picture better than sound. Freeview inbuilt is very good, you can set programme reminders - still haven't figured out if this is full HD?! 3 HDMI ports will come in useful soon. Once again on the sound - not very good, you have to change each setting per channel as the clear voice technology is very good for most but not for music channels. Subtitles don't work on my TV but glad I don't need them. Volume does jump a lot even with auto volume turned on. Remote isn't the best in the world and not badly laid out.
Price is excellent for the TV and specs but a few gripes listed above.
 Great for the money...but not great! November 26, 2008

Okay...I'm not good at these long reviews...so just the facts:
1. Audio - Great quality and fully customizable graphic EQ 120hz-12k
2. Looks - Great looking TV
3. Setup and connectivity - Easy to setup, great connections options
4. Video - Video quality not great overall but blacks not too bad for an LCD in this price range...fortunately there are advanced
settings and you can 'tweak' most of the fuzz and blur away but do not expect a crisp picture, especially via scart.
Bottom line - A pretty good TV, probably excellent for the money, but I
would save that extra 200-300 can get something a level up. Or at least go for the plasma version (LG42PG3000) which goes for about the same money these days.
