Customer Review: Excellent, Great Picture
Summary: 5 Stars
Updated June 17, 2008: This is our second flat-screen LG TV. We bought a bigger unit for downstairs and just picked this one up for the Master suite. We've hung it on the wall, using the HDMI connection. We love it.
Pro:
-Very light (~35 pounds) and super thin (~4")
-Remote is nice and feels good in my hand
-I like that the power button is on the front (cleverly hidden into a piece of the silver trim that runs along the bottom) and input, volume and channel can be changed from the right side/edge. This is handy when the remote goes missing or it's far away.
-Excellent black, and contrast. I personally think it produces the best (blackest) black, and doesn't wash out
-Rated for 60,000 hours of use (that's 2500 days if you left it on all day every day or 20.5 years if you had it on only 8 hours a day)
-3 HDMI connects, we are using 2, plus it does has USB 2.0 so it can power more advanced devices, presumably for things like "thumb drives" for viewing digital photos (although we've not tried anything like that yet)
-Fast and easy set-up/install (hung on the wall)
-Speakers are hidden
-In case it wasn't clearly described in the tech specs you've seen elsewhere, this is a 16:9 widescreen LCD HD 1080p TV (that's full high-definition)
-Warm up time is short, maybe 3 seconds or so
-Very wide viewing angle, looks great in a big space when seated to the side of the TV
-Good for Blu-Ray (although we don't have it... our DVD player does "upgrade" our DVD signal/picture, but it's not true Blue-Ray)
Con:
-Full sound, but in my opinion with the factory settings we didn't get as strong of a center channel as we would like, which usually contains the primary dialog. This led us to ramp up the volume to compensate and would not have been an issue if we were hooking into our stereo for surround sound. Since we did not do this, some trial and error with the sound settings was required for us to successfully mitigate this problem.
Neutral:
-Tip: when looking for a wall mount, don't pay more than about $75. This unit is light, and anything big and fancy is probably going to lead to a financial soaking!
-We haven't used the stand, sorry. It looks ok I guess, but can't review it since I haven't used it.
-Tip: I can't confirm this, however the HDMI cable box I got from my cable company responds much faster to channel changing that our other regular HD box did before we traded it in when we got our TV. The old box would randomly pause for 1-8 seconds as well. We've not had this problem with either HDMI cable box we've gotten.
-Tip: Play with your settings to get the best sound, don't rely on the factory settings.
Bottom line: The LG HDTV line is very good as a whole. This unit is no exception, it's awesome. We highly recommend it.
