Freakin' awesome picture

This TV looks great, even though I'm not subscribed to
HD service. I get one channel off the air in HD and
it's incredible. 1080P is the bomb!

Set-up is a little fiddly and LG provides the
absolute worst user manual ever! It
tells you nearly nothing about what various
controls do and how to set them. This is
the only real CON I have with this TV.

The only real competition to my LG was a
Samsung that I was watching. It's price went
through the roof and it was smaller than the LG.
The LG's technical specs are impressive. If you
believe in looking that what the numbers say, this
is the TV for you. (although this model is no longer
available.)

Unpacking the TV was nearly painless. Mounting the
swivel stand was easy, but if you're a small person
you'll want help getting the TV from the floor to wherever
you're going to put it. I was just able to wrestle it
up to my 4 ft. high location. I'm a average sized guy
so judge for yourself. Just don't drop it!

If you're buying a new TV, do some research,
watch prices and know what you're buying before
you buy it.

up and running

Easy to setup, turn on, connect, and everything else. I have had it on for 24/7 (due to room mates who work different shifts than I do, for sever months and not a bit of problem.

I would buy another if price was a bit lower.

Fantastic!

I could not be happier with this 42" LG LH40. I have had the TV for about a month and have used it exclusively with a (non-Blue Ray) DVD player hooked up through an HDMI cable.

- HDMI inputs on the back and side of the TV are convenient
- Gorgeous color and deep blacks. It was easy to setup using the color wizard
- Menu structure is attractive and intuitive, plus it is quick and easy to switch between components
- The sound can fill a room and does not get distorted at high volume
- The range of viewing angles on the TV are incredible

Great TV

No problems. Menu navigation is particularly easy and self-explanatory. Sound quality isn't stellar, but no worse than any other TV I've used.

great tv for the price

This was our first hdtv, and for the price I'm very happy with what we got. The only thing I would be critical on was the freight company who delievered it. It was 2 and a half hours after our schedualed appointment time, and the driver for pilot freight wasn't a pleasant person by any means.

But like I said we are very happy with the quality of this tv, and the price we paid for it. I would reccomend it.

Someday, all TV's will have Ethernet...

While this is my first HD TV, I have been looking at them for a while. I have had trouble justifying replacing a perfectly good 27" Sony. However, now that the networks are moving actual content into the bars that fall outside the range of what my SD Sony can display, I finally got tired of missing 1/3 of the show and decided it was time to upgrade.

I am a Netflix subscriber, and I have been using PLEX to stream Netflix content onto my TV as well as to stream other video content stored on my Mac to my TV. It works very well, but it is a little kludgey since I still want to be able to use the Mac wile using it to serve Video content to Plex. (The TV acts as a second monitor.)

I was VERY concerned that I could find no reviews about this unit anywhere. It's just that new. I was especially concerned about how well the 'net connectivity worked. So, now that I have one, I thought I would write a review.

It's an LCD HD TV. Picture quality looks fine to me, but standing in the store, they all kind of start to look alike. I'm not a video quality expert, I would say that I could see a slight improvement on the LED TV's over LCD, but I don't think it's drastic enough to warrant $500-$1000 premium. I was more interested in spending extra to get that Ethernet port on the back.

So, how does it work? In a word: Amazing.

I hooked my HD cable box up and got that working, then I plugged it into my home network. It recognized that I had plugged it in, and it DHCP'ed an address off and connected without any problems. I hit the Netcast button, and got my choice of Yahoo Widgets (There is also a Widgets button on the remote) Netflix, VuDu, YouTube and Picasa. I clicked Netflix, prepared to have to painstakingly enter my Netflix login and password using the arrow keys on the remote and a virtual keyboard. I was pleasantly surprised when it presented a URL for me to go to (on my computer) along with a code to enter. I went there (it was a Netflix URL) on a computer that was already logged into Netflix. I entered the code and BAM! my instant watch queue showed up. You can't browse movies here, just your instant watch queue. Put movies in the queue on your computer, and they show up here. Select a movie and after a few seconds, it just starts playing. You can skip forward and back and it shows the thumbnails very much like it does on the computer. It works great.

The Netflix video quality was good, but VuDu was Spectacular. They call it near BluRay, and considering it is streaming real-time over the Internet, it looks really nice. I have only watched a few short sample clips from New Moon, but it was impressive. You get a free rental to sign up, and I'm looking forward to trying it out.

I haven't done Picasa or YouTube yet, but I'm guessing those are just as easy. The TV came with a Windows-only Nero MediaHome Essentials 4. Since I don't have a Windows box, I can't load this. I'm assuming this is what LG expects you to use to access content directly from your PC. I did a little Googling and downloaded a trial of Twonky Media. A cross-platform DLNA server. Loaded it up, set up my directories for my content, hit menu on the remote and chose "My Media" and BAM! again! There were the files on my Mac. I streamed a couple of shows for a few seconds. Fast forward, rewind, it just works. It's amazing. I'm not sure I'm even going to bother hooking my Mac directly to my TV (who am I kidding, of course I will, because I can... but I doubt I'll actually use it much).

Yahoo Widgets work as you would expect. They pop up on the bottom of the screen kind of like the Dock in OS X or Windows 7 and you can scroll through them and select them to have them pop up a window. You can have the window pop up over the picture, or you can have the picture shrink down so you can still see it all. I haven't really played with them that much. There are several widgets to choose from, but my computer is very close to my TV, so I'm not sure how much I will use them on the TV.

Late last year, I got a Droid wireless phone with Internet, now I have a TV that, while it doesn't have a Web Browser (who wants to do that anyway), it DOES have Internet connectivity. I'm pretty sure I want ALL of my future purchases to have Internet Connectivity. (Buying my new Dishwasher may be problematic...)

Best TV for the money!

I ordered this TV thinking I was compromising and would just put it in my bedroom after a couple years and upgrade the main TV anyhow. Boy was I wrong! This TV, when hooked up through HDMI, has an amazing 3D like picture with dark blacks and vivid colors. I am beyond shocked how well the picture and quality is for the price. The widgets and streaming video also work well as I purchased the wireless adapter and it took only a couple minutes to hook up to my wireless router. Overall I cannot recommend this TV more highly!!!

Shocked and Disappointed - It Lasted 4 Hours

I didn't think I'd be writing a review this evening. Figured we'd be enjoying our new TV. We set it up today and were into the second DVD, when the picture and sound began to break up. UNBELIEVABLE!!! It wasn't a cable problem, it wasn't the disk (which was new), it was the TV....which lasted a total of 4 hours. We're returning it to Best Buy for another brand. This is my first and last experience with LG.

Update: Within 15 minutes (while processing my refund) the staff at Best Buy saw the same pixeling problem while testing it with their own DVD.

We have had this TV for seven months and have been nothing but impressed with it! It has an incredible picture and hasn't given us a single problem.

If you like what you read, buy it I did.

Let me say in the out start we have a satellite dish with HD programming. First, we have another LG at 32" that just hooked right up to the satellite coaxial cable, this TV did not. The difference; the satellite cable had to go through the VCR first using a coaxial connection and then to this TV using a coaxial connection to acquire a certain station or number, that would allow us then to use our input button, and from their to the satellite's remote that controls the TV. (This worked for us because that was the way it was set up in the beginning). But not to fear we called our satellite tech to come and change this setup to go with our new DVD player. You can use the TV's remote to adjust contract, and etc. plus black levels, cinema, etc., we use VIVID, but it does use more power, their a lot of functions on this TV, don't be afraid to try all on the menu tab. The picture to me appears that its 3-D as you watch the TV, the imagine just pop out, we have a large Pioneer Plasma that shows fantastic picture that doesn`t have this advantage, scenes inside and outside are so real looking. The sound clear. Your picture is going to be better if you have HD programming which you pay a fee, not so for new subscribers. I noticed on Amazon Cable users didn't get as good of a picture. Who could not be happy with the price and the quality of this TV. But, remember your satellite dish, or cable carrier, effects some of the TV output. We bought this TV from Amazon seller called OneCall, who is a excellent seller from beginning to end, no fear their.

The Perfect LG 37" LCD HDTV

LG 37LH55 37-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV, Gloss Black - What can I say about this HDTV that hasn't already been said. The picture quality is outstanding, "True Motion" makes the movies; even low quality video look so real and even better than those new 3-D monitors (it's like looking through a window), the sound is clear, the fiber optic output sending a 5.1 surround signal to my stereo (dropped from five video audio inputs to one) is awsome, "Energy Star", case presentation, 4-HDMI's, the hard to find comfortable 37" size (why do you need anything bigger??? unless your entertainment room is as big as "Radio City" in New York). Hands down, LG can even give Sony a run for it's money. All of the monitors in my house are LG and they look just as good as those new LED TV's that are coming out. From what I see on the Net, there is not too many of this model left and the price on Amazon was so hard to believe that when I actually went through the checkout to make sure, I was very suprised and I recieved before the actual delivery date. I'd get one if I were you and wait for the bugs to be worked out of those new 3-D monitors and those silly glasses that give you nothing but a headache anyway.

Excellent

This TV is a great choice. I play video games and watch a lot of Blu-Ray movies. This TV has crisp color and the backlight function is very nice. Almost everything on this TV is custom, the picture quality, sound, inputs, channel options. This TV was created for every user due to its ease of use. When I bought this TV I got it for $650 and even after Black Friday I still can't find another TV as good as this and for the price. The 240hz option is ok but isn't need. 120hz, however, is needed for fluid motion. Overall I am very pleased with this television... it feels as if this TV is a "smart" TV because it is customizable.

Great Picture but FAIL

Ordered from Amazing Deals Online. Received LCD tv in 1 week. (gave away old tv). Now almost exactly 22 hours later after using this TV the screen started to flicker and pop, then a loud hissing from the back and the screen FAILED. Now, no TV just audio, and I have heard that LG has a 5% failure rate. That is 1 tv out of every 20 will FAIL within 1 year. 1 out of every 20 people will have a broken TV, without question. My CRT lasted 8 years and looked pretty damn good.

Excellent!

Great TV for the price, alot of fine tuning features, great picture, nice glossy black finish, the fact that this TV is only 60hz doesn't bother me, I can't tell the difference anyhow. Definetly worth the investment.

Nice TV

I haven't had this TV very long but so far it is great. I had to replace my panasonic rear projection tv because the lamp keep going out every 4 to 6 months. I thought it was a great tv till I got this one. It was so easy to set up and being I had no help this was a big plus. It is light in weight which I could pick up and put the base on and sit it on the stand. Programming it was a breeze. The manual is on a disc which you have to download on your computer to read. Wasn't impressed with that. The picture is great and the remote has information on it for what is playing and what will play next, which the panasonic didn't have. This is a plus for me as do not have cable. Over all I love this tv and right now would recommend it. Hope it last longer than my panasonic.
