LG 42"

Picture quality in HD not what I expected: fair amount of blurring when watching a football game for example- my neighbor's Sony is crystal clear at same time (same cable service). Regular programing seems to come in fine. Color, brightness, etc. is excellent.

awesome first TV

This was my first LCD TV that I purchased on my own, but I have many friends with other LCD TVs and my parents own their own. I have compared them all, and w/o spending 3k or 4k on a super high end TV, this is an excellent purchase. This is by no means at the low end of the spectrum, and it's color intensity and smoothness is unparalleled in its class. The TruMotion 120Hz is definitely amazing, but personally I don't think it should be used for live-action movies such as batman, spiderman, pirates, etc. For all digital movies, animated movies (wall-E, etc), TV and sports, I think the TruMotion is ideal.
Either way, you can turn it on/off, so it's no big issue. I haven't found any dead pixels, and amazon sent it straight to my house earlier than expected. However, when watching blu ray movies, the sound must be cranked up way high, unless you have a sound system. (small issue)

Long story short, if you are in the market for a mid-economy LCD purchase, this is w/o a doubt, the ideal solution.  more

Impressive

I am not new to HD LCD's. This one is brighter and has more clarity than I ever expected. It appears to be in 3D most of the time. People and objects appear to jump out at you. I believe this is due to the rich colors/vibrant colors and deep blacks. Also, there's absolutely no glare. I am not totally confidence that the 120Hz feature really makes a big difference. I'll give it some credit though - it's 25-30% better than without the feature. You will not notice this unless you watch motion movies or sports. I like the Intelligent Sensor. It appears to adjust to the environment - I am still trying to figure that out. LG has very good features, but you will have to read up on a few of them. Everyone else is correct, the sound is not great. Mine runs thru a stereo, so no big deal.

Overall, if someone makes a better 47" LCD, I would be shocked. LG has come through !!

It's a Great Television

Okay, Big Deal on the number of HDMI Ports. 3 or 4, what does it matter. I bought a television first and foremost for the picture, then sound.

This LG has a great picture. Granted, its my first HDTV, but I could not be happier. I have compared it to some sets in bargain, mass "Mart" type chains and I can see a difference. 1080p in 32" is not commonplace yet, but it does make a difference. Fast motion sports and other similar types of viewing remain very fluid and no jagged edges appear.

The sound is above average, but I certainly do not expect it to sound like my home theatre system.

This TV is one that I would recommend to everyone.

Wonderful picture, excellent TV

First of all, I think I underestimated the size of this TV. When the Amazon delivery guy showed up, my jaw dropped at how big the 47 inch looked in our master bedroom. That said this TV has some great features, with some calibration we were able to get some of our 720P Apple TV content to look exceptionally well. One caveat is that the picture with all the bells and whistles is almost TOO good when playing non HD content, so that sometimes shows look almost hyper real and more fake. We found that by making sure the True Cinema is off with non HD content, that solves the issue and when it is on with HD content, it truly is amazing. The blacks are extremely black and we found the calibration menus to be very easy to use. Also we had the White Glove Delivery and we were very pleased with that as well. All in all, with all the TVs we looked at before going with the LG, the LG seems to have the crispest colors and it "Popped" more then the other. We saw the 47LG50 at Best Buy and that picture  more

dream TV

I couldn't have imagined how awesome this TV was until it arrived.

I'm a very educated shopper, and I know my specs, and this TV totally satisfies in every aspect.

I especially like the red accent along the edge of it and the translucent bottom. Not quite evident in the stock pics, but very beautiful. The sound was impressive also, better then i expected given the unique nature of the speakers in this set.

bravo, all around.

Nice Picture But Where's The Sound

I purchased this TV for my wife to watch in the kitchen. I have it connected to Comcast cable without a digital/HD box and the picture on all channels is great. However, the sound is another thing. The digital channels can be set at a reasonable volume, but the analog channels are a whisper at full volume. Will try a set of power speakers to see if improves the sound on the analog channels.

You won't be sorry you bought this TV !

Bought this TV a few weeks ago, and all I can say is that it's SUPER! I was going to buy a Sony, but after doing a side by side comparison, the LG has a better picture for several hundred dollars less than the compatible Sony model. If you want a SUPER HDTV, buy the LG 42LG70 !

Nice, middle of the line TV

I was able to get a hand on this piece of equipment for under $300 and so far I am rather pleased with it. The colors are good, the resolution is solid, and overall it is a versatile device, giving me a good gaming and TV watching experience as well as serving as a decent second monitor. It is slightly annoying that the base is inflexible, and it does take a painfully long time to start up. As a college student though, it sits proudly upon my desk and has served me well so far.

Excellent Monitor for the price!

With all the crying over a 4th port that isn't actually available this TV is getting a bad rating for basically nothing. I hate it when people can't find their tissue.

This screen looks great is is priced right for the size. Highly recommend it!

False Advertising Indeed

This unit is advertised as having 4 HDMI inputs. It only has 3. If that's not bad enough, the 120mhz spec is also false. Together these two false claims take what would be a top of the line 32" LCD for a fair price down to an average LCD for a high price. I don't know which company is responsible, but between Amazon and LG this is really weak sauce.

Great buy!

Set looks great right out the box with no adjustments. Beautiful unit, and I recommend reagrless of if the 120mhz note was a error on Amazon's side. If you can really tell that big a difference anyway, I really cannot. I currently just have an HD antenna hooked up and it looks amazing....one of the best small sets on the market right now for the money. Makes my friends Sony Bravia look like S.

false advertising

This 32LG70 was supposed to have 4 HDMI ports but only has 3. It's also suppose to have TruMotion 120Hz and does not!!I called LG and was told that it was limited by my Comcast Cable connection. When I pressed them, I was told that the 32" model didn't have TruMotion 120Hz. They said they are not responsible for what Amazon claims on their site. I pointed out the specs on the LG site and they quickly updated from 4 to 3 HDMI. LG said a manager would call me tomorrow. I'll see.

Jaw Dropping

I paired this up with my Blue-Ray player and you will never go back. Totally different viewing experience that has to be seen to be believed. The 1080p / 50,00-1 contrast ratio is as good as it gets and compared to "other" brands with higher prices, this does the same exact thing for 400 to 600 dollars LESS. I did my research ;p. Now get this TV.

Outstanding TV

I reviewed many, many LCDs before purchasing this unit. I am a long time Sony fan but after looking at the various offerings in this size/class and comparing them to the LG there was one major thing that stood out, there was NO glare at all. I have this TV in a room where there tends to be a lot of glare and the Sony I had in the room was terrible with reflections. I went into a local store to see the 47LG70 and could not believe how well it dealt with glare from the lights in the store. That sealed the deal for me.

Excellent picture, pretty good sound but I rarely use the speakers on the TV and instead us my Sony sound system for everything (XBOX 360, Dish HD, Blueray, Apple TV, etc..) and lots of connections with HDMI. Remote is fine and I really like the swivel stand. A snap to setup and the picture quality with blueray (Iron Man looks fantastic!!) is truly amazing.

You cannot go wrong with this unit.

N2230W Viewsonic Refurbished

Bought to use in bedroom for HDTV. Overall I'm using as a TV and have been satisfied. I have also tested as a PC monitor using my laptop with the HDMI connector. This unit had no dead pixels.

Picture is sharp and clear as an HDTV using HDMI with dish network HD. As others have stated the speakers are on the weak side. I had an old set of Altec Lansings with the subwoofer and now the audio is great.

As a PC monitor I found text to be on the fuzzy side but most images looked pretty good.


I give the Viewsonic 4 stars because - You must you the external audio to get audio that will be pleasing. As a TV this is a great value. If you are wanting to use this solely as a PC monitor I would give it 3 stars and would look elsewhere. Paid $250 on the net.

Great All Around TV

I bought this TV about a week ago and I am very pleased with it's performance. I have Directv with the DVR and HD package, and it's the best relationship ever! Rich colors, and deep blacks are wonderful, they "pop" at you, almost like 3D! The TV is not heavy at all, easy to set up, nice clean sound, feather touch power button, piano glossy black color, 4 HDMI, and the best picture ever. To take advantage of the 1080P, I plugged in my PS3, and the pictures are amazing, deep blacks, and vibrant colors. I had a plasma Panasonic that I paid double for (5 years ago), and the LG kicks butt! The only thing that I have a problem with is that the remote is hard to program, I did not find any directions. If I could program the remote, I would give it 5 stars.

Excellent TV for the Price

I bought this TV through Fry's when they had it for $999. I was hesitant to put down a $1000 on a TV just to have the features be outdated, but this TV has all the new technology and for a reasonable price. I compared this TV to my parents Sharp Aquos, and some other ones at the store and this one is just as good as the Sony's, Sammys and Sharps and for a more reasonable price. I would highly recommend this TV.

Don't buy this TV if using built in speakers

Bought his TV for a bedroom. The worst sounding TV I ever heard. Sounds like it's coming out of a tin can. I can't believe the manufacture would sell a TV like this. Just returned it to Amazon and will buy something else. Pictures good, not outstanding.

Very good for the price. Durability?

Had to return it within a week because of a 1/2 inch blue dot that had formed in the middle of the screen. Got the second one home and the faux chrome decorative piping at the bottom of the frame peeled right off when I (carefully) removed the protective plastic. The picture is wonderful for most applications; it has excellent color and deep, rich blacks. The standard audio and the surround-sound simulation are both very good. I'm not entirely sold on the 120Hz feature, though. Couldn't really notice any difference with it on or off while watching football or hockey in HD. I guess plasma is still the king when it comes to fast-motion applications. Still a very good buy. I might more strongly consider the Samsung A650 or Panasonic Plasma if I had it to do over again.
