Customer Review: Smart choice
Summary: 5 Stars

We received this LCD TV about 2 weeks ago.

After a month of research i was ready to purchase an LCD TV in the 36 to 40 in range... i did not want to spend more then $700 and i wanted a company that had a solid customer support background and low rate of failure across the board for their products.. This automatically took Samsung out of the running... they have low customer support and the rate at which their LCDs fail is fairly high within the first year. Also Sony and Toshiba because of Customer support and price.

So this left Panasonic and LG as the top brands (excluding others due to various other reasons).

Panasonic was all sold out of there 2009 models so the logical choice was LG... But how did they compare on quality..

Sound

Superb, compared to almost all other brands(that i have heard), and much better than Samsung. Sound is crisp and clear (with the volume all the way up only the slightest amount of static is heard) ... Very low volume is also no problem either..sound still comes across clear. The speakers are hidden, and provides ample bass.

Picture
SD(standard definition) is scaled well.. SD is what you expect it to be .. not perfect.. but still viewable, which is a plus.. I have seen many LCD TV's in the last few months that look horrible through SD TV or component consoles.
HD(High Definition) is nothing short of amazing... there is not much more to say on this subject other then it keeps up with anything else in this price/size range.
Black levels are dark but do not over power any of the darker scenes
Whites are bright and pure
Colors are crisp and accurate
This LCD TV stands up to the best of pictures in this price range.

Setup

Set the TV on a small entertainment center that is smaller then the TV itself, the small stand that comes with the TV even without screwing it in is PLENTY sturdy to hold the TV up by itself..
The only revision to this would be if you have kids that are a bit rough and they knocked into it pretty hard it could tip... but it would have to be fairly hard..

It was extremely easy to setup, which only took about 5 minutes on basic cable.. with more channels comes a longer setup time .. but that is to be expected ..

Overall **FOR THE PRICE** this is the best possible deal I have found for an LCD TV in the 40in range.

Delivery

We received this TV before the estimated delivery date by DAYS!
In perfect condition and ready to go. (if you have a small car *Yaris* it will take some serious maneuvering to fit) we did it though.

I will update as the months go by
