 Good for the price January 8, 2009
I was debating between this and similar Panasonic TV for a while, but ended up choosing the LG. A couple weeks later, the price of the Panasonic went down, but I stuck with this set. The speakers being at the bottom of the TV is not an ideal situation. The picture is not as amazing as on my smaller ViewSonic 32-inch TV, but it works well as an HDTV. The QAM tuner is nice feature. SDTV doesn't look as bad on this TV as it does on lot others I have seen.
Good TV but cant get the video and audio just right! January 2, 2009

I purchased this TV a few weeks ago. Overall I think its a good TV but I do have a few problems with it. I have a 42inch Panasonic plasma as well and when you put both of these side by side I do like the panasonic more.
THE PICTURE:
The picture quality on this TV is good but when I am watching HD programs from Comcast sometimes the programming doesn't look HD. I am not sure why this is happening. Blu ray movies on the other hand look spectacular I play them off of my PS3 which looks amazing on this TV so it makes me think that there might be something with comcast. When playing SOCOM Confrontation on PS3 there are some minor video problems, One being that every now and then the TV will freeze up for a second or 2 which makes me feel like the game is lagging when I think it is really the TV trying to catch up with the video. Also I am using the original video settings for this tv which other reviewers say are horrible. other reviewers say that once the TV is calibrated properly it looks 10x better, I am yet able to figure out the correct calibrations... If anyone has any please E-mail them to me Nathanj89@yahoo.com
The Audio:
The audio is different from other TVs of this size. I personally found it to be off when I first took it out of the box but then you get used to it. The biggest problem I have had with this audio is when playing Playstation 3 games. When playing SOCOM Confrontation on this TV it is fine when there are 1 or 2 gun shots. But when there are lots of explosions or even lots of rapid gunfire the Television lags in when the gun is firing on the screen and when the gunshot sounds are coming out of the audio. This is something I cant figure out and I am working to try to fix.
Again if anyone else has this TV and has optimal settings or knows how to correct any of there problems please dont hesitate to email me!

We bought this TV about a month ago for $749. We have only owned Sony or Toshiba so we weren't sure what to expect from LG. Well, we didn't need to worry! The TV is great. It is very user friendly - switching between TV and DVD player is very simple. The picture itself is great! We have not had to make any changes to the factory settings. We have no problems seeing the picture even from extreme side angles. This TV is on our lanai so there is a lot of natural light but the picture never looks washed out. The sound is average but then again we are used to a Bose surround sound system with our TV in the family room. We would recommend this LG to anyone who is looking for a good quality TV at a reasonable price.

Pros: great picture quality colors are great and picture settings are good out the box, got it for $698.99 cant beat that. The picture is excellent with the component and hdmi cables. Shows blue ray, games, and hddvd in 1080p.
Cons: none really. I do wish i could play movies off the usb port it can only play music and pictures.
