The television arrived very quickly and the purchase process was totally pain free. We already have an LG television and are very happy with the picture...but the other TV works through a surround systems so we've never really had to worry about the sound. This television, purchased for the bedroom, is stand alone and I have to say we are a little disappointed with the sound. Even at maximum volume it is not very loud and the overall sound quality is a bit tinny and not at all clear. It's a pity because can't fault the television apart from this.

I got this TV for a xmas present and absolutely love it.

The sound quality is very good for a TV of it's size, and far better than I expected.

The same can be said for the picture, it is clear and crisp, no fuzzyness at all.

The style is very much to my liking, very clean cut, with a nice gloss finish and easy to access buttons that are clearly laid out, in fact everything was very clear in every sense, only took 5 minutes to set up!

And looking at another review that has been left for this TV I have to say that:
1: The plastic has not yet scratched for me, and I have handled it considerably, and cleaned it, so I have to say that this TV in my experience is not easy to scratch, though it is definitely possible.

2: Dead pixels happen a lot with LCD televisions, and is not a fault with any particular model, this is why we have returns policies.

3: The labels came off no problem for me.

4: Every LCD TV that I have ever seen has a certain viewing angle and it is best to have the television mounted so that you can face it dead on to get the best picture quality possible.

So basically an excellent television that's is way underrated, and 26" is rather bigger than I though =)

I bought this two days ago and it's awesome. Picture and sound qualities are top notch, just like the 32" version. Light weight and easy to set up. I've already recommended this TV to my friends.

This is also the cheapest place I have found it being sold for.

Well, that's what it says on the tin and basically that's what it is! It's compact, shiny and 'HD Ready', unlike our existing old fashioned bloated TV which simply isn't ready yet. But, then, old fashioned bloated ME isn't really ready yet either.
What attracted me to the product? - Good price, special 'voice clear mode' (one of our viewers has a hearing aid and can have difficulty distinguishing voices from background noise), lots of input sockets, in-built Freeview, special computer game mode for console users.
How did it measure up? - The sound isn't great and 'voice clear mode' makes no discernible difference. The gaming mode just makes the screen a bit dimmer so we don't use it. The Freeview seems to work well and the copious inputs are well placed and convenient, plus the overall unit size is great - so compact for such a sized screen.
Overall then, nothing majorly wrong, but I feel a bit disappointed. Old fashioned CRT TVs have a much clearer picture, especially with long panning shots and fast action, which frankly hurts my eyes with its jumpiness on this TV (and, probably all LCD TVs that I've seen, truth be told - this new technology with high resolution and HD readiness - is it really just a bit of Emperor's New Clothes?).
If you were the marketing department, but obliged to tell the truth, you'd sum this up as "Not bad for the price, but really nothing to get very excited about if you don't ABSOLUTELY HAVE to make use of the third of a cubic metre of volume in your living room that will be freed up by such a thin TV".

Plugged in, switched on, waited for the tuning to finish, voilá.
Decided it had definitely been time to get rid of the old one, a fraction the mass and bulk it's sitting on a corner shelf looking good. Well pleased.

This is an excellent TV and good value for money. The only criticism is that there is no way to turn it off completely. The TV goes to standby and in this age of environmentally friendly equipment I cannot understand why this does not have a simple on/off button.Good picture quality and looks good too.

Very very please with everything, great price, great delivery, stickers came off with no problems, and have cleaned it with out scratching it!!!!! Very good value for money, have hung it on kitchen wall and the picture quality to great and sound is good.

This TV is an excellent purchase considering the price and as it was brought befroe Xmas. Quite the best value for money I've ever spent on a TV and would by an LG again, without hesitation.

bought this tv for my mum 1st time shes had a lcd tv,pic quality is very good and the set up is very easy no instructions required,would buy lg lcd again but maybe in a bigger size

I took a gamble on this set sight unseen but am very pleased with it. For me the design of a TV is very important and the LG oozes style. The whole package is very well put together and it performs admirably on all fronts. The Toshiba was available for slightly less money but it design was bland and dated. Possibly too small for a main TV but ideal for a bedroom or second room.
