"Awesome LCD for only $749.99" on by jfornelli
Pros: Quick and easy setup. User friendly menu interface. 50,000:1 42" and 1080p under a Grand. Beautiful design. Swivel and tilt stand.
Cons: For the class it is in (not 120hz) it really has none. Maybe it could have added a usb port, but I have one on the Blue-Ray player.
Summary: I did lots of research on on the internet and in the stores trying to determine what would be the right t.v. for me. Sometimes I felt that the more I learned the less I was drawn to a specific size, make, or set of functions. I new I wanted LCD, 40" or up, 1080p, and at least 40,000:1 contrast. I flip flopped around quite a bit. Then I decided I wanted the LG 42" 42LH40. It had 70,000:1, 1080p, 120hz, usb port, and some other cool stuff. Price point was around $1299.99 give or take $100.
Then I walked into fry's and the sales person recalled me and asked if I was still interested in an LG. He showed me the 42LH30 that was on sale for only $749.99
I looked exactly like the LH40 nut without the 120hz, usb, and was 50,000:1
GREAT PRICE! I had seen it cheapest on tigerdirect.com for $899.99 + $78 shipping.
I was sold. I also purchased the LG Blue-Ray player BD370. It only took me about 20 minutes from cutting the straps on the box to the sitting on the couch and watching a movie. Great picture on this nice looking set. I love everything about it so far. Plus the blue-ray player has an ethernet port and I now stream Netflix directly to the t.v.
I know Samsung and Sony may have superior sets but they have nothing that can compare in this price range. An awesome buy. -
"Great specifications for LOW dollars! Awsome TV" on by comiskeybum
Pros: First of all, the acual look of the TV is very nice. The frame and finish makes it look good in any living room. the 50,000:1 contrast ratio at this price is amazing. The colors are fantastic. PS3 looks amazing if your a gamer and so does blu ray
Cons: i really have no found anything wrong with it. some pople say they dont like the sound from a "hidden speaker system" but i dont see anything wrong with it at all.
no complaints here!Summary: I got this TV for $1058.00 at tigerdirect.com with an additioal 2 year warranty and shipping. That is a great price for this performance. Bottom line is that you are getting a 50,000:1 contrast for 200-500 dollars less than the other tv's i found. As i said PS3 looks amazing. I watched the blackhawks game the first night it was here and hockey looks amazing on it!
I really have no found anything wrong with this TV. I plan on getting a speaker system for surround sound but the sound from the TV is just fine, no complaints.
Buy this TV, its great bang for the buck!! -
"Gaming,Cable,Laptop,Happiness" on by toby16custom
Pros: Perfect size for almost any room
Work well for all applications:
Xbox 360 with HDMI
Laptop
Hi-Def cable (reg cable too)
1080P gaming is among the best for an under $1000 tv.
Solid stand, looks nice, screen stays relatively clean and dust freeCons: Remote feels a little inexpensive compared to the TV.
Little bit slow to switch sources at times.Summary: I love my LG 42". I have my Xbox 360 hooked up via HDMI. I often hook my laptop and watch HULU on the tv or use it as a monitor.
I really like the different picture functions as they make all my viewing look great.
Alot of people, including me debated about the 60hz. Personally I like it better then 120hz. For gaming one should be playing in 60hz any way. Sports look just fine in HD and regular cable on the screen and you can have 16:9 viewing as well.
My only complaints are the remote being a but 'cheap' for the tv, works great and feels good but I have seen better remotes. Also LG, a one year warranty? Common you guys have more faith in your product then that right!? -
"Great Baseline HDTV" on by millionhorns
Pros: Durable, Good Picture, Good inputs, Great color options (Picture Wizard)
Cons: Terrible with 60hz, If you set the colors wrong you'll get a bad picture.
Summary: Great tv for the money, There are some color issues, but for the money I paid, I'd do it again.

"Great TV great price" on by megapiola
Pros: It has all the connectors I need, color controls are easy and accurate and the most important: image is GREAT
Cons: It is better if you watch your LH30 from the usual angle, in front of the TV, if you move far from the center you may notice it does't as great. Finding the right location could solve this minor problem.
Summary: Don't mess with technical details, this TV has it all and it's great to watch a movie or a game with the full HD capabilities of the LG42 LH30 and the price crushes the competition.
