Please learn from my mistake and don’t buy this TV! The picture quality doesn’t hold a candle to my old Sony. The swivel stand is weak and shaky and the audio is too low at full volume. In my opinion anyone who gives a thumbs-up to this TV is either too easily satisfied or infatuated with the fact that the picture is bigger than their old set. The dark colors fade into each other and you can never adjust the picture to get it just right. Unless you’re in a straight line in front of the set at all times the picture is dark and extremely disappointing. Do yourself a favor: if you want real quality buy one of the better plasmas or save up to buy a higher quality LCD set. Trust me on this, “entry level” or not no one should throw away their money on this junk. You’ve been warned!
UPDATE:
Well its been two months and I stand by everything I said. I’ve gotten used to watching it although that doesn’t mean I like seeing anyone on TV who wears black pants against a black wall look like he he’s wearing the wall since black colors run into each other as a solid blob of black. Mostly I just want to ask: What’s with the dopes who said my review was unhelpful (6 out of 7 to be exact)? Probably LG employees or just Kool-Aid drinking dolts. Try reading the Consumer Reports review, geniuses, where among other things this TV got the lowest rating of any 42 inch set on off-angle viewing. Yay! Let’s bring back the old “perfect stereo diamond” concept to TV!

Good value and product shipped quickly.
Picture quality is mediocre for non-HD programs.

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!

Couldn’t be happier with the delivery speed, quality of the product and the condition it came in.
