Where is the audio?

I had the same problem initially with the sound quality. I was going to return the tv, but after doing some research tried to use some s-video cables and that fixed the issue. The coaxial cables just down provide what we need to use our tv.

ATTENTION!!! I've had this 40RV525U for nearly year and it IS NOT a REGZA! It's a step below a regza. My tv has HDMI problems and the tv has low sound.

I think Plasma is better because you can see images from any angle. However, stay away from the Samsung line because, after less than 30 days, you will get an image burn regardeless if you play games or if you watch regular TV. I speak from experience. I bought Samsung PN50B450 50-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV because it had the best picture in the Best Buy store for the price. Well, after 20 days, the screen had started to get the burn-in. I called Best Buy, they came out and said they couldn't do anything because Samsung won't authorize a replacement. I called Samsung. Their tech came out and said the same thing. It's written in the warranty that screen Burn-In is not covered. I understand that, but after 20 days? How about repairing the TV? Samsung tech said I'm stuck with the TV and this problem.

This TV worked for two weeks or so, then it displays a green noisy grid over most of the screen after being on for a few minutes. It doesn't appear to be the screen itself since the display calibration pictures and the screen saver icon are both clear and crisp, but with either the component (DVD) or HDMI (cable box) the display is unviewable. We will be exchanging shortly, and hopefully the replacement will be better. Two open-box/return units on the shelf at best buy is slightly disturbing. Why did they get returned?

All TVs are like that. This one may just not have a normalizer like some other TVs

Superb 1080p Picture Quality

Read your very nice review and am interested in possibly purchasing....but why this line:
"I popped the DVD into my Pioneer DVD player and experienced a very high quality picture although it is not 1080i or 1080p quality."
If the camera states that it is "Full HD 1080x1920," why are you claiming it is not?
I am also on Mac. Non-Intel based though. G5 dual PowerPC Sys 10.5.7 which will run iLife 09 and iMovie...supposedly. Do you need an HD version of iMovie?
Thank you.

Also had trouble with stand but a little bit of WD-40 on stand connection did the trick.

I am having the same problem. This is my second W2361VG monitor (the first one had a burned out pixel). I will use it and it will just shut off. I've tried different power cords and lots of other stuff. It was the nicest monitor at best buy that I could find so I am hoping that the 3rd one wont let me down! :(

Films that are shown at 120hz look like video because our brains process images at the equivalent of about 60hz. Film has traditionally had that "dreamy" look because it was shot at 24 frames per second, which introduces motion blur, (many things in life move faster than what 24 frames per second can capture as a still image). I was just looking at this TV and other 120hz models at Best Buy. They were playing clips from "Pirates of the Caribbean and Speed. The picture was razor sharp, but it was TOO sharp. The movies did not look the way they looked in the theatre when they were projected on film at 24 frames per second. The lack of any motion blur was unnatural. In case you're interested, the reason why your computer screen will flicker and you will get headackes if your refresh rate is set below 60 hz is also because your brain processes images at the equivalent of 60hz. Wagon wheels appear to spin in the opposite direction when they are spinning around at the equivalent of 60hz because of this reason, also. As for the TV, I have to go with a 60hz set. I could never watch movies on a 60hz set.

To be honest both sets deliver an amazing picture quality, I doubt you saw the same material with both set and found out that the samsung was "much better". I have had both and I can tell you they are both amazing, I wouldn´t know which one to keep if I had to let one go. the lg does have better sound tough...

pshanks, we're very sorry for the confusion. This was a bug on our end that resulted in the data not being updated for this particular store. Thanks for catching it! If it's any consolation the price was accurate at one point and it may fall back down there again.

The Crutchfield price was listed as $129.99 at 11:15 PM PST 06/27/2009. This is the lowest price by far. Eagerly clicked the link only to find that the Crutchfield price is actually $189.99, which is far above even the average price. What gives?

Bought this today at Sams Club, i originally went to get a samsung 40" but for 100 less and 2 inches bigger with the same specs i couldn't resist, the quality compared to higher end models obviously isn't as good but for under 1000 this is one the best HDTV's i have seen, im still tweaking it out but blu-ray/PS3 games look absolutely gorgeous with HDMI and XBOX 360 w/ component.
If you are looking for a TV under 1000,900,800 i highly suggest this, its 42", 1080p great contrast/colors my ONLY complaint are the blacks, they are so black on some scenes you can't see certain things but like i said im tweaking.
very satisfied.
