"Outstanding DLP" on by scotshel
Pros: Competetive price, easy set-up, excellent quality
Cons: Integrated TV Guide is not really necessary with DirecTV guide already in use
Summary: I'm not sure why CNet ony gave this a 6.1 rating. I have had this set for a week now and it has been spectacular. The picture is just as good as the other DLPs on the market. The TV Guide feature is sort of a wasted resource. Other than that, I can honestly say there are no cons.
The best thing about this television is the "matte type" finish to the entire front including the screen. I have it set up in a room with many windows, so reflections were a concern when I was shopping for a DLP. There is no glare/reflection whatsoever and I could not be any happier with my purchase. -
"Repair not available" on by BLUESTAR546
Pros: nice color
Cons: TV broke one year and no service available
Summary: LG is advertising good customer svc however
no service would be more truthful.
LG dvd/vcr broke within 6 months and told
by svc center and LG no parts available however LG did advise newer model dvd/vcr
available.
LG tv 52 sx4d analog tuner quit within
one year and LG customer svc center 1-800
could not figure problem out. Extended
warrantly from Best Buy has been useless
since they had EMFA electronics pick up
TV 2 months ago and they now refuse to
return it. Unclear if it is fix or not.
At any rate TV broke within a year and
has been gone for 2 months..... -
"LG makes its Computer Monitor fail within 3 years" on by mainty
Pros: can't find anything good
Cons: LG puts the condenser next to the heating element on purpose- it dries up and then stops working after 3 years. A friend who fixes these was able to fix it, LG would make you pay high $ to fix it so you'd buy a new one. I agree, no more LG for me.

"DO NOT BUY LG THEY BREAK DOWN IN LESS THAN 2.5 years" on by d50bearcat
Pros: The initial quality, and for those owners out there, don't get used to it. All I have left is video, surround sound quit, HDDVD player quit. Their product will for sure disappoint you and leave you scratching your head thinking...
Cons: The LGe customer "service" is absolutely terrible and makes me want to cut my hand off and poke myself in the eye with my index finger with my now disconnected hand. DO NOT BUY LG PRODUCTS, they are overpriced, they WILL break down within 3 years...
Summary: Don't get me wrong the initial quality is enticing and trickery at best.
1. Conveniently for the distributor and LG my TV began its' self destruction 8 days after my 2 year extended warranty.
2. First, the picture-in-picture, on my LG HDTV, feature quit working. (2 yr. 8 days after purchase)
3. The $600 LG HD DVD player no longer plays DVDs (2 yr. and approx. 1 mo after purchase)
4. The LG surround sound subwoover/reciever went out (2yr, 2 mo).
5. The HD inputs on the LG "HD"TV quit working (2 yr, 2.5 mo after purchase)
6. All other HDMI, S-VIDEO, etc. inputs quit working (2 yr, 3 mo)
7. I bet you're thinking well you atleast still watch tv and you'd be right, but I have to run my cable input through a new reciever because all of the audio on the LG tv quit working all together.
I now have an LG tv that shows video through just one input, no audio, who needs sound anyhow.
$3000 - LG TV... you know where that went in less than 30 months of mild use.
$750 surround sound and LG hd dvd player.... not working
$500 extended warranty plan.... worthless
I called customer service at LG and they did not seem a bit concerned at all that they may be losing one customer. The company stated that the TV was "used up" I kid you not. "used up''? They told me that it probably was at the end of the road. I told them any future business from me and anyone else seeking advice on what product to buy... is the end of the road. I will never purchase one single LG product in my life. If you want to spend approximately $4250 on a "state of the art" or "top of the line product" that does not even function after 2.5 years, then LG is the product for you and I wish you luck. IF YOU DREAM OF OWNING A NICE TV THAT WILL LAST, RUN FROM LG PRODUCTS. THIS IS NOT A HATE REVIEW I SIMPLY STATED THE FACTS AND I DO NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE TO GET BLIND SIDED BY THE IRRESPONSIBILITY OF THIS COMPANY TO PUT FORTH A QUALITY/DURABLE PRODUCT.
NEVER BUY LG, GIVE THE MONEY TO CHARITY AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF, BECAUSE LG ISN'T OFFERING TO HELP ME AT ALL, BUT THEY DID POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION OF TWO TV PLACES THAT WOULD FIX IT FOR LESS THAN $1500. IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE SEARCHING FOR AN LG TV OR PRODUCT FOR THAT MATTER, PLEASE STEER THEM IN A BETTER DIRECTION, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS EMAIL ME AT s230301@nwmissouri.edu and I will thoroughly explain anything I left out.
LG has lost a customer and hopefully more to come. Protect your family's wealth or your personal wealth and invest in other places. -
