Great TV for the money!!

We bought this TV about a month ago for $749. We have only owned Sony or Toshiba so we weren't sure what to expect from LG. Well, we didn't need to worry! The TV is great. It is very user friendly - switching between TV and DVD player is very simple. The picture itself is great! We have not had to make any changes to the factory settings. We have no problems seeing the picture even from extreme side angles. This TV is on our lanai so there is a lot of natural light but the picture never looks washed out. The sound is average but then again we are used to a Bose surround sound system with our TV in the family room. We would recommend this LG to anyone who is looking for a good quality TV at a reasonable price.

Great Entry-Level TV Great Price

We have had this TV for a week now and for the price I'd have a hard time believing you can find a better entry-level LCD. Picture is fantastic, sound is above average, multiple hdmi inputs and the video settings are easy to configure.

Good TV but cant get the video and audio just right!

I purchased this TV a few weeks ago. Overall I think its a good TV but I do have a few problems with it. I have a 42inch Panasonic plasma as well and when you put both of these side by side I do like the panasonic more.

THE PICTURE:
The picture quality on this TV is good but when I am watching HD programs from Comcast sometimes the programming doesn't look HD. I am not sure why this is happening. Blu ray movies on the other hand look spectacular I play them off of my PS3 which looks amazing on this TV so it makes me think that there might be something with comcast. When playing SOCOM Confrontation on PS3 there are some minor video problems, One being that every now and then the TV will freeze up for a second or 2 which makes me feel like the game is lagging when I think it is really the TV trying to catch up with the video. Also I am using the original video settings for this tv which other reviewers say are horrible. other reviewers say that once the TV is calibrated properly it looks 10x better, I am yet able to figure out the correct calibrations... If anyone has any please E-mail them to me Nathanj89@yahoo.com

The Audio:
The audio is different from other TVs of this size. I personally found it to be off when I first took it out of the box but then you get used to it. The biggest problem I have had with this audio is when playing Playstation 3 games. When playing SOCOM Confrontation on this TV it is fine when there are 1 or 2 gun shots. But when there are lots of explosions or even lots of rapid gunfire the Television lags in when the gun is firing on the screen and when the gunshot sounds are coming out of the audio. This is something I cant figure out and I am working to try to fix.

Again if anyone else has this TV and has optimal settings or knows how to correct any of there problems please dont hesitate to email me!

Great TV at a great prive

Pros: great picture quality colors are great and picture settings are good out the box, got it for $698.99 cant beat that. The picture is excellent with the component and hdmi cables. Shows blue ray, games, and hddvd in 1080p.

Cons: none really. I do wish i could play movies off the usb port it can only play music and pictures.

I love it

Having the 37LG30 for 2 weeks now, I think it is one of the best HDTV in its class. I trust the brand name because LG is the one that provides LCD panels to those graphic professionals. I love the overall quality. And it looks pretty nice fit to my small living room. What is my take? Be sure to run color calibration to suit your own eyes. Enjoy your TV.

Great TV

I searched and reviewed for 3 months before I purchased the LG and absolutely love it. I was surprised that the LG looked the best, especially when compared to the name brands like Samsung and Sony. I have Vista Media Center hooked to TV, and the picture is crystal clear. No regrets!

Great LCD tv at a great price

This is my second LCD tv, the first being a 32" Samsung which was my main living room tv. I wanted a larger unit so I went with a 37-incher and must say that the 37LG30 has been superb so far. The unit is sleak and stylish, and was easy to install. I have standard cable and an upconverting DVD player connected with an HDMI cable. Cable shows look good, but the real beauty of this tv is revealed with movies in 720p. The picture is amazing! Sound is ok, but I use a speaker bar/subwoofer unit for everything and it really upgrades the sound. I did not compare this unit with the Samsung LN37A450 (or with my own Samsung LCD for that matter) but I'm sure you can't go wrong with either model. The LG was $150 cheaper at the time of purchase, so price was somewhat of an influence. If you're going to buy an LCD tv and have room for a 37-inch, I definitely recommend it over a 32-inch. The bigger screen size is worth it!

very good

I was very impressed with the style and quality of this product. It is the perfect size for my one bedroom apartment! The picutre quality is wonderful thus far...I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but with HD cable, and even regular channels, the quality is still very good! Some channels the sound is very quiet, but others the standard volume is just fine! I'd definitely buy this product again, and for the price, it was a steal!

happy so far

Chose this based on the 5 stars it gets here & Bestbuy/circuitcity.coms. Actually never looked at tvs in stores since its hard to get out, but the sales guy on phone at circuit city said this is rated 3rd by Consumer Reports. I needed this size to fit my ent.center so chose 720p based on other reports & its mostly fine. We use standard cable (not HD) yet and the regular channels are slightly fuzzy. We can live with it since we don't wish to invest more in our cable company. The tv automatically plays channels in the 100 range which are HD or maybe dig channels-I don't know, but they're VERY clear & enjoyable. Just like the nbc/cbs/abc channels after 5pm, they broadcast in hd and I guess the antenna picks it up. Wii looks great on this tv. Very easy to set up & lock out programs I don't want the kids to view. Also easy is switching the lock off for my husband to view. My living room is full-on daylight all day (cathedral ceiling, large trap windows) and this screen is amazing unlike our previous old tv. No longer is the screen hard to view because of direct sun. No more shutting blinds to see the screen. And forget the math formulas on getting a large screen if watching it from 12' away. We can easily watch & read what's onscreen from about 20' away. No problem with angles either. My complaint would be the time delay when changing channels. Instead of just popping up its got a couple secnds delay before the screen & sound come on. No issue with burn-in.

About as close to great as you can get

We've had this TV for two weeks, and it is fantastic. Once I got the settings fixed up for our room, the HD picture is amazing. SD leaves a lot to be desired (BBC America looks like a full-screen YouTube Video), but from what I understand (and what I've seen) SD looks pretty crap on any HD TV. The HD Channels, our Upscaling DVD Player, and the XBOX 360 via Component cables all look phenomenal.

The sound is pretty good, if a bit quiet on many channels. But, there is an Audio Out that I've got running to our receiver. Even with just two speakers, the volume level is much better than the built in speakers.

The menu is very intuitive and the quick menu option is a great convenience. I'm a big fan of being able to label my inputs, or rather, I should say that my WIFE is a big fan!

Speaking of inputs, there are a TON of ports on the back of this monster. Three HDMI ports, component in, AV In, cable, pretty much anything you could need.

Another aspect of this Television that surprised me was how light it was. I'd say it weighs MAYBE 45 pounds. Made it very easy to set up, even if we did have to put the stand together first. Definitely the first time I've ever had to assemble a TV!

All in all, if this TV could miraculously display great looking SD channels, it would be the perfect display. As it stands though, it's a great television, and if you can find it, it can be an incredible deal. We got ours for $999, fully 300 dollars less than comparable televisions. Look around and you're sure to find something similar.

Almost perfect!

Pros -
Beautiful images from all viewing angles
Super convenient swivel stand
Attractive housing - clean, modern lines
Easy hook-up
Strong, clear sound

Cons (reason for four star rating, instead of five) -
Sound isn't regulated from HD to Standard modes (very loud level with standard; very soft in HD - be mindful when you channel surf!)

Overall, would definitely purchase again!

Surprisingly solid television

I selected this television from among some bigger name brands in the store because it seemed to have the sharpest picture, which surprised me. I looked at Sony, Samsung, etc, but I kept coming back to this one. The picture seemed so natural and vivid. I am not unhappy with my purchase. The picture is crisp, intelligent sensor works great, and I have no complaints at all. I love the size and clarity as well as the remote choices. The controls are intuitive and it is easy to set up and start. It's also one of the nicest looking televisions out there, in my opinion. It does swivel, 20 degrees, I think, and the sound is adequate also. This is my first LG purchase but it will not be the last.

Vertical line

Well, I read all the reviews on this TV and bought it for Christmas. I was very impressed with it initially, especially compared to my more expensive Samsung. However, a week later, there is a vertical line that would not go away. I now will have to deal with the manufacturer on the warranty. I hope there will not be too many obstacles getting it fixed, because I don't think I'd be able to return it as I have thrown away all the boxes.

BRILLIANT PICTURE, SLEEK DESIGN, SOUND COULD BE BETTER

We purchased this TV about a month ago and I am very satisfied. The picture is awesome to say the least. I love the LG brand because their product seems to be top of the line. This TV pretty much has it all. I only have one complaint and it is with LCD TV's in general. The sound is good but it doesn't get very loud. Most of the time we have to keep the volume almost maxed out because it isn't very loud. Like I said though this is a drawback of all LCD TV's because there isn't much room fit larger speakers in it because of how slim it is.

Great bang for the buck

I bought this (steady now) to be the neighborhood's biggest photo frame. I know... It's decadent. But remember, this is Texas and everything is bigger. I'm a professional photographer and don't get to see all the thousands of images I shoot every year except in newsprint or magazines or websites - none of which really does them justice.
Right now my LG 37" TV is cycling through a Metallica series I shot at Ozzfest this year and it's gorgeous. I was looking for a unit that had a memory stick option or USB port where I could load in my images and let the built in software run a slide show for me.
It does this seamlessly and the quality is gorgeous. Vivid, great contrast, beautiful colors.
It was a breeze to setup, not too heavy, and a quality piece of equipment.
I liked it so much I bought a 2nd one for use at art shows where I exhibit - a LOT easier than lugging in a bunch of easels and prints...
Absolutely love this LG.

Does it's job, the second time around...

While I didn't buy it via Amazon (sorry Amazon people), I purchased through a brick-and-mortar strictly because I haven't converted to making big purchases online. I bought this thing for two reasons:
1. I hadn't had a TV for over a year, I was overdue.
2. Picture quality. I searched high and low and stared at many, many HDTVs, in so many different stores, so much so that my eyes hurt. This was the best one (within the size I was looking for, 32-37" as this is what space I had/have allocated in my apartment). Picture clarity is key! That's the whole point of HD, correct?

So, first thing's first, I received a dud. Yes, a dud. It was working no more than a day before the brain of the TV just died on me (don't ask for technical terms, it's the part that makes the screen display a moving picture as opposed to lines moving across the screen). I don't know if anyone else ran into this problem, but it was a tad annoying. I do believe, however, based on many other reviews, that I was the unlucky one to receive a defective one.

The part was replaced, and now it's all good :). Clarity is there, haven't had any problems since (I'm on month three), and did I mention I love it?

Downside: don't sit too close, your eyes will definitely hurt. Quality is just that sharp--at least on HD channels.

Oh how I cannot wait until Feb '09 rolls around when the rest of the channels hop on board. My life will be very close to complete :).

Takes a little while to smooth out

After 3 years my Plasma died. I was able to put this lcd on the same mount and it looks less obtrusive and is much lighter. It takes a little while for the picture to look less pixilated. I do not have the HDMI connector, since I have nothing that has that type of output, but with RGB components and digital cable it looks much richer than the plasma, and it doesn't get as hot.

The only negative is, I called LG's customer service and I was appalled at how unhelpful they were. I sure hope I don't need customer service for this TV.

Very nice

Sound is nice for such a small TV. The speaker grills are underneath the housing and point downwards. They are also 'ported' on the rear so there's actually more sound eminating from the rear of the TV than towards the front. Because of that, this TV is probably best placed against a wall so the sound coming from the rear gets reflected.
Interestingly, although the treble and bass settings both have a typical range of 0 to 100, I can hear very little difference no matter where the audio settings are. Treble and (especially) Bass set at 0 sounds doesn't sound much different than when set to 100.

Color is excellent, but whites/blacks are still 'iffy' for me - playing with the settings, either the blacks seem too black, or the whites get too blown out. I admittedly haven't seriously sat down and tried to deal with it, though.

Left/right viewing angle is good. The image turns a little pink when viewed from an extreme right and left angle, but it has to be pretty extreme as I said.
Top/bottom viewing angle is sub par. Standing above the TV and looking downwards to the screen, the picture looks a little washed out. From below looking up, the picture is dark. You can see a difference in the image (but not too bad) when sitting upright versus laying down due to the elevation difference. (This is with the TV about 5' away.)

A 1/4" blue LED appears when the TV is powered on. Nicely, it's a somewhat dimmed LED, and not one of those nova-bright blue LEDs that so many electronics like to 'dazzle' with. When turned off, a red LED appears instead indicating 'stand by'. It's also not too bright. The settings allow either LED to be turned off permanently.

A power button is on the front, right underneath this power LED. Other buttons for volume, channel, input selection, menu are on the right side of the housing out of sight. They're not easily 'viewable' for those that might put this TV inside a small entertainment center.

It takes about 8-9 seconds from when the TV is powered on for the TV to 'boot up' and start showing the currently tuned-in channel. The blue LED blinks once a second or so during this warmup phase so that you know your hitting the power button actually did something.

The remote is *very* nicely laid out with easy access to commonly used features such as quick change of aspect ratio, quick change of closed captioning, Favorite channels, button for quick access to picture settings, another for audio, settings, etc. The remote was actually a deciding factor for me since a competitor's set of the same exact price, about the same specs, sitting right next to this LG had a horriblely huge remote filled with a massive array of tiny little buttons, probably one button for each and every feature. I do wish LG used some more colors for the buttons, though; most are black, a couple are light grey.

Love It!

Got this on Black Friday. It is a fantastic set at a great price. Much easier to use and in my opinion a better picutre than Samsung.

The sound quality is fantastic. Many of these smaller sets have lousy sounds that is similar to an alarm clock. This has two powerful 10 Watt speakers designed by Mark Levenson. It is a great set at a fantastic price!

Good TV

This is a good TV. I previously had an Olevia (Syntax) 27" LCD HDTV, and I have to say that this TV is a significant improvement. I recommend this TV!

The Good Features

The speakers are good (no hiss or low quality digital sound). The speakers are hidden below the TV. So it's good for confined spaces. They're not as good as a $500 surround sound system with a sub-woofer, but you get what you pay for.

It has an option to turn off the TV power LED when it is not on, which is helpful if you sleep in the room with the TV. The LED also flashes when it receives a command from the remote control, which is good feedback when you don't notice something is blocking the remote control signal to the TV, like the edge of a TV stand. When the TV is off, the red LED looks like HAL 9000 from the movie 2001, which I got a kick out of.

I like the swivel stand on the TV, which is good for easier cable setup. It's Energy Star compliant. It has a great user interface for adding and removing TV channels after you have automatically scanned all the channels (tabbed panels with a preview pane). It can handle HDTV (ATSC) and analog TV (NTSC) signals.

The picture quality is much better than my previous LCD TV. I have no complaints when it's viewed from a typical viewing angle.

The Bad Features

Even though it has great side to side viewing angle, it has a slightly worse than average viewing angle from the bottom. So when mounting this TV up high, you should consider wall mounting it with a downward tilt. Viewing from 45 degrees from below washes out the colors, but this viewing angle isn't typical for most people.

The reflection from the border on the TV can be distracting in a room with a lot of lights when displaying a show with very low light levels (e.g. a horror movie typically has very low light levels). The border also shows dust a little more easily than a matte finish. It's a nice and shiny TV though.
