Sleek LG at bargain price!,
It took me about three days to decide to pull the trigger on this TV after looking at written reviews on Amazon and even some video demos online. About four hours after receiving it and I haven’t left my room.
This TV is simply lovely so far. The setup was a bit confusing at first and the stand is not the best I’ve ever seen but the instructions for setting up the stand were adequate and I was able to get the TV up and running in about ten minutes (the first five of which I sat confused).
Really, the negatives on this purchase stopped after the setup and the stand. Besides the stand, this TV is just pretty. One of the first things that stood out to me was the fact that the screen is so sleek and does not reflect any glares at all. Also, I had read about a terrible viewing angle and I honestly watched this TV from the side with no difference in the picture at all. It’s so big that it’s practically impossible to have a bad seat in the room that you watch this TV.
If you plan on playing video games on this TV, you will not be disappointed in the least. The only issues I’ve had with the TV is getting my colors juuuust right, although the “Game” picture setting has sufficed very nicely.
The sound on the TV is great. It is centered and doesn’t feel empty in the least. It is a very full and rich sound that will work just fine if you don’t have an expensive surround sound system.
After paying [...] and receiving free two day shipping, I am literally ecstatic that I was able to nab such a nice TV. After spending the last three years with a 24″ Insignia LCD that was 720p, I am ready to lock myself in my room.
If you are like me and can’t shell out more than 500 dollars for an HD TV, this is the TV you want to pick up right away. I simply cannot find anything that I dislike beyond the stand itself that makes me rate this any less than 5 stars.
Don’t be alarmed by the 60hz refresh rate, I honestly can’t see how 60hz is so inferior to 120. Especially when 120hz is almost 500 dollars more expensive.
Trust me, if you are on the fence about this TV — take the leap. This coming from a 21 year old college student who is now going to be the most popular person on his floor.

|Really like it.,
First off: We did not purchase this TV from Amazon, we purchased it at a local retail store, not for any other reason than the price (we paid a few hundred less than the current Amazon price)
My husband and I purchased this back in April, it was either this or the Phillips that they had set right beside it, it was really a hard choice as the Phillips was marked down to just a few hundred dollars, whilst this was just under six fifty. We are so very glad that we went with this model(42LD450). The video quality is quite good, blacks are black, and whites are white, back light is very bright, and video quality is amazing.
We almost took this back however: When we first plugged it in and turned it on, the only picture was a white screen with the Firmware version bouncing around, no menu would come up and it would not acknowledge anything had been connected. Well, we unplugged it again, and turned it back on, and this time, it acknowledged the DVR (input 1) and starting spewing forth video and audio We have had no problems since that.
My only gripe is that we will have to go out and purchase a new unit for our surround system, as the TV only has a Optical Audio Output. And on that note, the built in speakers are not awesome, yes, they are very usable, but like almost all TV speakers, they are not going to satisfy your need for spectacular surround.
This is definitely worth the buy, I really think you will be happy with your purchase. Thank You For Reading.
