There's not a lot I can say about this TV. I have had many LCD TVs and this is by far the best one. It is like a fine German automobile. Well thought out and made with us, the consumer in mind. The picture quality is only beaten by TVs costing much, much more. The sound is actually really nice despite the speakers being hidden. I much prefer the speakers to be hidden for style, but I wasn't sure what to expect. If you're looking for a new TV and aren't quite sure which one to get, just pull the trigger on this one. Don't be fooled by the price, or the fancy high specs and latest and greatest. Technology companies will always try to tell us we need the latest and newest. There really is not that much difference between this TV and Sony's best and I challenge anyone to show me that there is. Save your money and buy this!

After a lightning strike fried my front room television I started looking around online for a replacement. This TV offered the features I wanted (42" screen, full 1080p HD) for a very reasonable price. I was a little dubious abut the amount of positive reviews for this television that I found while searching. The price was lower than almost all similar models, and I found myself wondering if the reviews were genuine. Well I assure you they are.
The TV is quite a new model and has a decent level of features for its price. Now, if you're a real technology enthusiast then you might be disappointed by the fact it only has 2 HDMI ports, or the lack of Ethernet connection. If so then I suggest you go for some other model. If however, like me you just want a great TV with a great picture, then let me assure you this is the TV for you. The picture is vivid and clear, even on non-HD pictures. HD pictures are, of course, excellent and the TV boasts full HD with 1080p horizontal resolution. All this for less than £500 (quite a bit less at the moment!).
Menus are good as I've come to expect from LG (third TV I've bought from them) and the sound quality is respectable for a TV with fairly small hidden speakers. Connectivity is again respectable. Digital sound output, the usual gamut of HDMI, component and old-school aerial-in connections, and a built in freeview tuner as you'd expect. The only downside is that (as far as I can see) the freeview tuner won't work with Freeview HD channels, but since I have Sky HD this isn't an issue. It also does something with USB drives which I admit I'll never use but might be worthwhile for some.
So, conclusions: If the only thing stopping you from buying this is a suspicion that all the 5-star reviews are fake then go ahead and buy it. You won't be disappointed.

bought this t.v. after my samsung 32 inch lcd died on me after only 18 months having cost over £400.fancied something a little bigger this time and was looking at 37 inch but when i saw this for the money, 42 inch at only £425 and customer comments decided it was worth a punt.its a good picture, but not quite as good as the samsung,though the sound is a little better.only drawback is only one scart socket.a few weeks after my purchase i was talking to a t.v. engineer who smiled when i mentioned samsung but went on to say sony,panasonic and l.g. were the best t.v.s,but for the money l.g won hands down.
