Customer Reviews
Excellent TV
I own a Panasonic 50 inch plasma TV - just can't rave about that TV.
So, when I needed a 42 inch TV to attach to a PS3 - I was wavering
between a plasma (yet again) and LCD tv (the first try). I know
Panasonic Plasmas rock - but then again getting PC connectivity was very
important consideration, Panasonic Plasma's didn't have a PC port
(s-video ports are poor substitute for pc connectivity as picture
quality is very very bad). For PC connectivity - you can't beat LCDs.
Made my mind to buy Toshiba Regza 42 inch lcd TV based on Reviews-
Looked TVs at Circuit City, then again looked at Best Buy with my
family. This LG set seemed to beat Toshiba both in clarity, and picture
details in every one's opinion. Panasonic 42 inch (and 50 inch) 1080P
plasma's (picture and) sound quality will blow any thing in 42-50 inch
TVs and there is no doubt about it. This LG TV looks great - picture
with PS3 in 1080P are stunningly beautiful, the set looks very nice and
sound quality is good (and crisp) (but volume doesn't go very high as I
would have liked too and is only about half of comparable Panasonic's 42
inch plasma set.). The sound output could have been a bit better for a
1200 dollar set - not so here. Overall, this is a good set for bedrooms,
basements and for playing games and watching Blueray movies. After
having the set for two weeks, I can say that HDTV reception is awesome
and unbelievably good, and as good as it gets on any thing. The SD TV
reception (via comcast box) is quite good - but a notch below than my
Panasonic plasma TV's SD picture where picture has more feel and warmth
and colors are much sharper (that is more to do with LCD versus Plasma
than this particular set's weekness in my opinion). If you buy this set-
you won't regret it. This set looks very good and performs very well. I
would very much recommend it. Here is short summary:
HD Picture Quality - 5***** Superb, Fantastic
SD Picture Quality - 4**** Very Good but not as sharp as equivalent
Panasonic Plsama's
Sound Quality - 4**** Sound Quality is Good, and Crisp, Bass is a
bit lacking when compared to Pany Plasma.
Sound Volume - 4*** (More than enough for daily use, but not loud
enough for occasional Party blasts of music Videos. I would recommend
external speaker or a home theater system. ).
TV Set look and Feel - 5***** Excellent, Beautiful
Connectivity: Has 3 HDMI ports. One more HDMI would have been good
as every thing is moving in that direction. Plenty of other ports. RGB
port and USB Port for laptop connectivity. Audio (optical/ coax, streao)
output for home theater conenctions.
Nice TV
I've had this TV for a week. Hooked it up to a Comcast HD/DVR via
HDMI. HD channels are spectacular as you would expect. Seems to do a
good job with SD channels. Black levels seem perfectly fine to me.
Overall design is very attractive with hidden speakers and a simple thin
chrome strip across the bottom and a light that glows red when in
standby and blue when on. Sound quality is very good for a TV. Picture
quality was pretty good out of the box. I did reduce the backlighting
and red a bit. Liked that it has both a USB and VGA input in this price
range. Got it for $1215. Photo viewing is good. Can play background
music and slide shows from folders on the USB drive. The remote says its
universal, but I cannot get it to work with the Comcast box or my
Toshiba DVD. Did get my Comcast remote to work with the TV so not really
a problem. No regrets. Would buy this again.
Awesome LCD for the money
I just purchased this TV from Circuit City on sale yesterday for
$1099. Right out of the box, the picture was fantastic. I did tweak it
a little--brought the brightness up a bit and the color down at bit,
and it looks really good now. I have Time-Warner HD service connected
via an HDMI cable--it's awesome. The black levels seem very good to me,
and the clarity of the picture is excellent. The non-HD channels are
very clear too, but obviously not as good as HD. I have the audio
runnning via a digital optical cable to my Sony receiver. I did test
the speakers on the TV itself--OK sound--not gonna rumble your living
room, but that doesn't matter to me because I will never use them.
So, in conclusion, LG has a fine product here--look at this one
compared to Sony or Samsung--it is just as good or maybe even better in
my opinion, because you'll save yourself $300-$500 over the price of
those models.
