To begin with, though I'm an ardent film collector, this LG television is my first foray into the HDTV market. It's replacing a 27" RCA CRT, a six year old television that still functions perfectly. However, after finally aquiring a PS3 Slim and attempting to get into gaming, I found my poor CRT was simply out of its league. Also, now that many Blu-Ray prices are dropping (particularly on older titles), I thought it'd be great to have a system capable of handling proper Blu-Ray transfers of favorite films like "The Road Warrior", "Outland", and "Barry Lyndon" (all of which never had a proper restoration on DVD, and two of which are sadly still unavailable on Blu).

For those who have no idea where to begin understanding what to look for in a HDTV, CNET is an invaluable research resource. Their in-depth reviews of various models are some of the most helpful out there (though they do not have one for this particular unit). Also of interest are their articles that explain in detail what difference certain features make and what HDMI cable you should buy (seriously, don't spend more than ). After doing my due diligence, I decided this LG model struck the absolute best balance between low price, huge screen size, and abundance of higher-end specs.

Setup was a breeze, all that's required is a screwdriver to screw in the included base. I was able to install the base and setup the TV myself, but considering this unit weighs around sixty pounds you may want someone else to assist (the delivery driver will usually help). Then it's just a simple matter of plug-and-play. There's also a cover for the bottom stand hole in case your unit will be wall-mounted. The menus are very user-friendly and easy to navigate, and there's even instructions included directly on the TV. There is a small setup booklet included, but the bulk of the manual is on an Abobe Acrobat file in the included CD-ROM. No issues with the remote either, the buttons are nice sized and well mapped-out.

A fatal error many frugal yet selective television consumers make is buying a cheaper entry-level HDTV like this and expecting it to somehow perform like a 00 plasma unit. It's just not going to happen. However, considering the gorgeous picture on this model and the relatively low price tag, it's difficult to justify paying more for a "better" LCD or a potentially problematic plasma. For instance, I considered some of the new LED LCD models, many of which offer a refresh rate of 240. But I simply couldn't make a discernable distinction when compared to this model (which has a rate of 120), and the image simply wasn't impressive enough to warrant the massive price tag.

The Blu-Rays I've tested (which included "Quantum of Solace", "Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan", "The Phantom", and "Glory") all looked - in a word - incredible. The sheen of clarity on each print was jaw-dropping (though "Glory" has a good deal of grain still present). DVDs look great as well, just not as sharp as Blu-Rays. My wife and I spent an entire Saturday going through the extended edition DVDs of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy on this model, and I simply have no complaints to report. The screen is large enough to provide a cinematic effect (especially in a bedroom), the movement onscreen was fluid, and the colors leaped off the screen. Even a series like "Battlestar Galactica", where the picture was intentionally degraded to give it a 'grittier' feel, looks gorgeous on plain-jane DVD.

The TruMotion feature isn't the failed experiment so many reviewers claim it to be. Under the correct circumstances, such as a high definition NFL game, the effect works wonderfully. Films, however, aren't quite built for this sort of thing. The TruMotion feature effectively removes the atmospheric sheen on the film print to the extent that it causes certain scenes to look amateurish, as if shot on home video. It's difficult to explain without example, but if you visit a floor model at a local store, many retailers will let customers toggle with the settings.

Also, regarding the infamous "lip synch" issue, I've watched hours of cable in addition to multiple DVD and Blu-Rays and I haven't had a single problem. My model was manufactured in February 2010, so it's possible they've updated the firmware on the latest models. In fact, I really can't find any serious faults with this model, it's as if this unit was made specifically for my needs. Perhaps the greatest compliment I can pay to this model is to say that I don't feel as if I bought an "entry level" television. For now, it's five well-earned stars, I'll update later if any issues arise.

Toshiba 26C100U 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV (Black Gloss) for Too low to display

Cheap Toshiba 26C100U 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV (Black Gloss) Discount Review Shop

I've started buying Toshiba electronics, because yes they are good and reliable, but they have the best customer service I have run into. They not only speak clearly, and are patient , but they really help out. I've called them for a couple set up problems, mainly connecting the TVs to DVD recorders, but they have assisted with correcting some problems, because of the DVD recorder. Other than that their instruction manuals are clear and well written with good diagrams. It was easy to set up, putting it into the stand required 3 hands, so you might want to make sure that the third one is nearby.

As for the TV itself, it looks handsome and is very stable. It also has control buttons on the left side so there are alternatives other than the sometimes misplaced remote control
The picture is better than our other TVs and seems just as good as friend's huge very expensive units. The sound is fine and on other TVs I sometimes wind up turning it up to full volume. My only complaint is that when I switch back and forth between TV and DVD/Video use I have to adjust the picture size back to the theater size I want, one would think there would be a way to keep the setting.
Other than that I am sold on this unit and style.

Cheap Sony Bravia XBR Series KDL-52XBR7 52-Inch 240Hz 1080p LCD HDTV Discount Review Shop

This review is for the 52XBR9 and not the BR7 as viewed. Although I initially purchased the 7 model, I received an email informing me that the 7 was dis-continued and that the 9 was for a higher price (confirmed to be true), and it more features and a better engergy saver etc. So of course I upgraded.

This TV is amazing in every way. I have my XBOX360, Panasonic Blue-Ray, the Patriot Box, my surround sound, and my HD TV Cable service plugged into it (ok I have a total of five controllers). Regardless to which one I use the SONY LCD 240hz 1080p TV gives me optimal performance every time. The only thing that is identified as a not needed or better yet needs improvement is the Internet via LAN line feature, I need to be able surf the net. However, I have the option of plugging my laptop into the TV, but that would make me feel too lazy, being that when I sit down utilize all other entertainment gadgets, i literally don't have to move.

Cheap Sony Bravia M-Series KDL-32M4000 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Discount Review Shop

Bought this primarily for watching HD movies and playing HD games via Xbox 360. I knew that there would be a bit of lag with it, but I had judged it to be negligible from my experiences with an LG 32" I had. Wasn't a good judging stick. The LG blows away the Bravia in this sense, in all others though, the Bravia comes out on top. Great picture, good color depth, nice and bright when I need it, and HD movies come out crisp and clear. However, the dark side to LCD technology is the lag that shows up when playing fast moving games. The good news, is that for a 32" LCD, it's actually not too bad. Right around 42ms. That can have serious consequences in an FPS style game, but once you get used to it, the lag basically disappears from your brain. Overall a great tv, well worth what I paid for it.

Toshiba REGZA 42HL67 42-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

Cheap Toshiba REGZA 42HL67 42-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Discount Review Shop

This is my third Toshiba TV, sold one to make room for this one and still have a 50" Rear Projection that has NEVER given me any trouble eight years running(Knock on wood). For the money -- 42" for ,019 including S&H from another web site, this is hands down ... THE LCD to get. If your looking for LCD's that is. Good picture quality with standard definition programming despite the poor standard def. signal we get from our cable company. I have seen reviewers complain about this TV's standard definition picture, but you must realize the old addage ... junk in = junk out. No TV can "clear up" a poor signal. Remember also that these TV's are meant to be viewed from a distance, be sure to buy size appropriate for the room as too big means a grainy looking picture. Unbelievable, but in the case of High Def. TV's ... bigger isn't always better a.k.a. size DOES matter!! This sets High Definition picture is incredible ... looks 3D. Don't worry about it being only 720P as cable providers (at least mine) are only feeding 1080i anyways and it fills this screen size nicely with excellent detail. You can count the blades of grass during PGA tournaments or watch the dust flying around each contestant during their post-performance review on American Idol(Somebody needs to dust out there in California!). If you want a High Def. set above 42" in size, you'll want 1080p capability to reduce possible pixelization. I don't have Blue-Ray or the defunct HD-DVD to review but my 480p Progressive DVD player picture is very clean on this TV. If you buy a High Def. TV you ABSOLUTEY need a "High Def. Set-up Disc" such as AVIA, etc. Borrow one from a friend, maybe Netflix rents 'em, or straight up buy one with the coin you saved buying this tv. These DVD's help tune in the picture as most TV's are sent out of the factory with extreme color saturation and brightness (an attempt to stand out from the crowd in the showroom). And you ABSOLUTELY have to somehow get High Def. content running through this TV such as "Over-the-air" rabbit ears, HD cable box, HD satellite box, Blue-Ray player, or the now-defunct HD-DVD player. Not doing so should be listed as one of the seven deadly sins... Failure to provide a high tech., high def., flat screen LCD TV an appropriate signal!!!! PS- Always connect equipment with the highest level connector available to you. Ex- If your cable provider box has an HDMI output ... use it. You'll get the best picture that way. And don't be fooled by "Monster Cables" for HDMI cables (or any other cables for that matter). Unless you have a "Theatre Rooom" and spell and call it such ... you're an average joe or jane like me. That means go to a web reseller (mycablemart, ect.) and buy an HDMI cable for $ instead of $$$$$. A digital signal is either there or it's not, no such thing as "signal degradation" like an analog connection.

As for "problems" other reviewers are having here ... 1)Yes, they're right, these speakers can't handle a lot of bass. My old analog TV couldn't either. They're simply not made for a wide range of acoustic, Not too many TV speakers are.
2) Delay in start up ... read the manual people! States that is a power saving energy star feature that CAN be set off for instant power up.
3)Sluggish remote ... I do have to agree with this one a little, not extreme though. And when sun is glaring toward it (Infrared Radiation) it does have a less of a remote "field of vision". Ehhh, I draw the blinds then and it just makes the picture look that much better ;-)
