The LG LG50 series of LCD HDTVs was introduced in 2008. It consists of the 32-inch 32LG50, the 37-inch 37LG50, the 42-inch 42LG50, 47-inch 47LG50, and the 52-inch 52LG50.

CNET did not review any of these models, but we did review a related, more expensive model, the LG 47LG60, that may give you an idea of how the LG50 series will perform. Both share the same contrast ratio, and so should have similar black-level performance, but the LG60 has different styling and includes 120Hz processing. For more information, refer to the review of the LG 47LG60.

"WOW where to start" By REALLYNOTHAPPY

Pros: This TV has only one Pro when it works its a nice screen.

Cons: 1. we had it a year and 2 months (of course when the factory warranty ended) and it broke. Repair man came out and fixed it.
2. another 9 months again it broke and again a repair man came out to fix it.
3. another 4 months again today a repair man is co

Summary: When it broke the first time the TV would turn on by itself and then it would flash through the menu by itself no one touching it or the remote. The repair man came out and repaired it under the extended warranty.
The second time it broke again it turned ... Expand full review

"DO NOT BUY A 47LG50 they are defective products" By BobinColumbusOhio

Pros: You get to spend a lot of time getting lied to by LG's customer service department. 1st TV was defective, took 6 months of phone calls before the local service rep told me I need to ask for Executive Services to get past customer service department.

Cons: Replacement TV's sound did not match the picture,LG blames on Time Warner, and now the sound is completely out. I called customer service to get my warranty extended and they are so incompentent that they can not even register my new TV's SN#.

Summary: Stay away from LG products unless you want faulty products with no support when things go wrong. Do not purchase anything from HH Gregg, they have no leverage over the manufactures and also did nothing to try and get my problems resolved.
