5 Stars Great TV, Great features
I’m not geek, but I know a good TV when I see it. Picture quality is much better than my old HDTV, and brighter too. Love the sound features. Easy hookup. I now have 3 LG tvs in my home (42, 32, and 20) so I guess I’m now a loyal LG customer.
5 Stars LG 42LH40 is everything I hoped for…
I’ve had this tv for about 4 months now and it is everything I wanted in an HDTV. The picture is crystal clear out of the box and even though you are suppose to calibrate these tvs, I haven’t had a need to do so. I wanted at least a 42 inch HDTV, LCD (to avoid plasma glare), 120 HZ to avoid motion blur, and under $1300. I looked at a few Samsungs and Sonys but both brands go from 40 inches to 46. I also considered a 46 inch Sharp but wasn’t impressed with the video quality. So the LG 42LH40 is what I bought.
The screen is bright and beatiful and sports in high-def look amazing. The menus are clear and intuitive which makes changing settings a breeze. The remote isn’t anything fancy but I do like the large input button that allows you to quickly switch between devices by displaying large icons that represents your inputs with the active inputs in color. The tv has a on off indicator on the lower right hand side that glows blue when off and red when on. This light also does a little Knight Rider type animation when the tv has been turned on and is warming up. Blue-Ray movies give you the best picture, then high-def tv, then upconverted dvds, then standard-def tv. Standard-def looks pretty crummy but that is to be expected on any large HDTV. Sound is also pretty darn good to be coming from built speakers.
Overall
Pros – Picture, menus, # of inputs, sound, style
Cons – Remote isn’t backlit
5 Stars Great value, excellent LCD for bright rooms
Very happy with this TV after three weeks of use. Wanted a decently priced LCD for my family room which gets a good amount of sunlight (even with blinds closed). LG 42LH40 didn’t disappoint! We primarily use the set for television (AT&T Uverse) and Xbox 360 games/Netflix. HD sports are outstanding and Xbox games are razor sharp. I’ve seen virtually no motion blur from either input.
Setup was simple, plug in the HDMI cables and go. Training the Uverse remote to control the set was painless. Colors were outstanding out of the box in “Natural” mode and the automatic tuning wizard was very easy to follow.
Only small negative so far is mediocre black level. It’s noticeable at night when watching a movie, but I’ve never been distracted by it. Several “professional” reviews knock this set for black levels but I honestly don’t see the big deal. If you want deep blacks, buy a plasma.
Definitely recommend this set to anyone looking for a great value in the 40″ LCD range. Amazon ordering and shipping were great. Shipping company called to confirm my selected appointment and showed up on time.
5 Stars The Dream Machine
Well,after my youngest daughter bought her 6th HDTV and USES all 6 of them, I figured it was time Dad bought his first. I own a computer store so I researched very completely the different brands out, there which all claim to be the best.Forget the hype, this LG 42″ seemed to make the best sense to me for the features it offered for the price. It arrived a day early which pleased me and set-up was even easier than imagined. The sound is as the old hippies said is FAR OUT DUDE!! The picture is PERFECT! NO doubt in my mind that research paid off big time. At 36 pounds, a kid could install this Flat Panel. The only draw back is that 12 hrs later it was $60 less. But had I known how much I would love it, I’d have bought it even sooner. My 4+YR old RCA is now in the bedroom. It too,has a great picture for a 27″ Big Box TV with very good speakers. Sorry ’bout your luck old faithful, but the LG is my new love! Buy it and love it, it don’t get any better than this. D. Diel New Mexico

5 Stars Better than average TV
This is a better than average TV. It’s much better than my last LCD TV. It has a nice matte finish for the viewing area and a glossy black border with a clear accent.
Pros
* Good contrast ratio and brightness for an LCD TV.
* 1080p resolution. The best you can get for HD TV.
* 120Hz TruMotion minimizes blur, which you mainly notice on scrolling text on sports or news shows.
* Better than average low shimmer and background noise on areas of similar colors, like the sky or walls with slightly different lighting.
* Minimal digital artifacts (jaggies) for fast moving pictures, like ocean waves and car races.
* Energy saving mode.
* The standby and power on lights can be configured to be off when the TV is in either mode.
* The TV can easily swivel on its base a few degrees either direction.
* The speakers point downward instead of the front, which is good for confined spaces.
* It has a screw hole in the back of the base to attach the TV to something sturdy. This helps prevents tipping when you’re concerned about little kids or earthquakes.
* In addition to simple standard controls for the picture calibration, you can also select expert mode, which has many configuration features, including color and tint for red, green, blue, cyan, yellow and magenta, which I’ve rarely seen on TVs. Most people won’t care about this expert feature that I liked.
* The top of the TV has a flat spot where the Wii sensor bar can rest
Cons
* It takes a few seconds to turn on, but it’s really mesmerizing seeing the power light pulsate on.
* It has no S-Video, but that shouldn’t be a problem for most people because of the other available ports.
Other technical features of note
* 4 HDMI ports (1 on side of TV)
* 0 S-Video ports
* 2 Component video ports
* 2 Composite video (RCA) ports (1 on side of TV)
* 1 Analog RGB PC port
* 1 Optical connection for surround sound.
* 1 Coaxial port for digital/analog cable or antenna TV
* 1 USB port on the back of the TV for photo and music playing. At least that is what the menu says.
5 Stars Excellent LCD TV
While I’ve only had this TV for a few hours, I’m greatly impressed. The picture is wonderful and the sound is great in the small room the TV is in. Although I would like a headphone output, connecting it to a home theater system is easy. Having a USB connection for music and pictures is an interesting feature and the music sounds great. I recommend this TV to anyone looking for an excellent smallish LCD TV.
5 Stars Excellent quality, great price.
Mostly used with my PC. I had to go to a big screen due to my vision. I have an upgraded ATI graphics card and the picture is phenomenal. Also, go DVI from the PC to HDMI into the TV FOR THE BEST DEFINITION and make sure your card is set properly. While watching sports on a 120 Hz 32″ LCD you will see things you’ve probably never seen in the past.
5 Stars Great 2nd TV
This is a good size for a bedroom (where we have it), den, home office, computer monitor – but would be small for a main TV. Before we purchased we had the opportunity to see this LG side-by-side with Sony’s 32XBR9. Having done our research we were expecting to love the Sony. Wrong. The color is better on this LG (its 80,000:1 contrast is better than Sony’s) and the LG has less artifacts with fast action scenes; both the LG and Sony are 120hz but LG’s application seems to work better. Both are full 1080p. The bezel/frame is a bit shiner on the LG (Sony is more matte and nicer in my opinion), but the picture is the thing and we went with the LG. Better picture than the Sony, nice menu features, and even cheaper than the Sony!
3 Stars Beautiful picture with some compatibility issues
Bought mine two days ago after some research indicated it had a better picture than Sony XBR9. A quick comparison in store confirmed that. The first one I bought had a defect with the base. It would not go into the TV far enough to align the holes for the four screws. It went back the next day. The second one assembled fine and I had it up an running quickly with a standard def composite video signal from a Verison FIOS STB. The picture was stunning! Absolutely fantastic! Could’nt wait to get HD input connected. First thing was my Sony BDP-S350 BluRay. No signal could be detected by the LG. Works great on the Samsung Plasma. Next thing was my FIOS HD Box. Aaah, a picture, but no sound?!!!? Tried multiple selections/setups with LG customer service on the phone to no avail. It went back for the Sony XBR9. Connectivity is fine now, just wish I had the stunning LG picture!

5 Stars This is a great television and easy to use.
I have had this television for two weeks. I got it after being greatly disappointed with a Vizio 37 inch 1080p. The difference between the two was very noticeable. The picture and sound are far superior. Even when comparing to the 720p LG 37 inch, this one is much better. The television was very easy to set up. The amount of HDMI, component and AV inputs are more than adequate for any standard home theater set up. I read one review that gave this television low marks for not having a headphone jack. I feel that if you are going to get a television of this caliber, you will get a good receiver that supports headphones. I feel that is an unimportant option and I prefer having that fourth HDMI port. The energy saving option is a nice addition, although if you get a lot of sun, you need to keep that setting low during the day. All menu options are easy to navigate. I love that the television knows what types of connections you have. When scrolling through inputs, it highlights the inputs that have devices connected. Overall, this is a great TV and I highly recommend it.
4 Stars So far so good
I’ve had this product for about a month and have had no problems. I currently have my satellite dish, x-box, laptop and wii hooked up 2 it. The x-box and computer look awesome….I absolutly destroy people in cod4 becuase of the picture and the speed. My laptop looks really well also, my laptop screen is 1200p but still works well on the tv. I bought the tv because I love hockey and wanted a really quick response time; my LG has the best picture I’ve seen so far for hockey. The menu is easy to use and adjusting the picture with as much detail as you want is simple. The tv saves your settings for each different input, this feature makes things very convenient. The only bad thing I can say is that original viewing settings are all dark, I’ve had to adjust them all to get a picture I want. Sound is decent nothing great but not bad. Overall I would recomend, the response time is awesome and the tv cost only around 200 dollars more then tv’s with response times not even half as fast.
5 Stars Best current option at 37″ for the money
We recently grew tired of our old CRT 37″ behemoth 10-year old Samsung TV and decided to join the HD world. Since our entertainment center can only hold up to 37″ we were limited in options (no plazma, not a ton of 37″ out there for LCD either compared to other more popular sizes). We shopped around, checked prices and reviews, then went to a store and looked at many of them in person, deliberately going on a Sunday afternoon so football would be playing so we could see how well they perform during a sporting event with lots of motion. For the price, the quality of this LG 37LH40 was a no brainer. The only models that looked even close in picture quality were Samsungs that are hundreds of dollars more expensive, and most other 37″ TVs are only 60hz instead of this LG’s 120hz. Setup was simple and we easily have connected the DVR, Blu-ray system, and Wii and have slots of each type remaining we could use for future expansion. Picture quality is very good on standard signals and fantastic on HD signals. Blu-rays look amazing. Good sound from the TV itself and the clear voice feature is nice. Remote is very intuitive and all setting are very easy to adjust. Nice picture and audio features. Very happy with this purchase (also integrates almost seamlessly with our LG Blu-ray home theater system – they recognize each other, etc.)
4 Stars Perfect size
It does almost everything we wanted. Just wish it had an optical sound input for the computer rather then the old pin style one.
4 Stars LG37LH40 LCDTV
This tv performs all the normal tasks as per spec’s.
The biggest flaws are:
1. The lack of printed manual.
2. The remote is chintzy, and isn’t lighted.
My biggest Pluses are:
1. Great picture quality.
2. Good on board speakers.
3. Lots of HDMI ports.
4. Attractive appearance.
One special alert:
1. My DirecTV remote didn’t list LG as a recognized TV.
a.You must KNOW that LG = LUCKY GOLDSTAR in the DirecTv remote
codes list. Then you can proceed to program the sat.’remote.
This is really a criticism of DirecTv, not LG.
A more robust remote and a printed manual would make this set a 5 star buy in my book.

5 Stars Great TV for the price, no problems.
I purchased this tv in December 2009 and have had zero problems with it. The intelligent sensor is great and adjusts the picture automatically to the light level. HD cable and video games look great in 1080p. Perfect tv for the bedroom like where I have it.
5 Stars Very happy customer
This 37-Inch 1080p LG TV has a fantastic picture. The color is bright and sharp. The design is crisp and clean. Everything we wanted to know about the TV was in the description and specs in the ad on Amazon. We’re very happy with this TV.
5 Stars the best
The tv came in three days it was delivered by a nice couple who carried it in. it was better than going to a store and buying it by the way no store by me had this size. i will buy here again
5 Stars Great TV for a Small Room
This TV looks great in my apartment. Do better TVs exist? Absolutely. Do they cost a LOT more? Absolutely. I have had no regrets of this purchase.
5 Stars Fabulous!
We are extremely pleased with this TV. It was easy to set up, even though the stand screws were a bit funny, like others here have mentioned. However, only 1 of the 4 screws gave us trouble, and that was about 30 seconds or less.
Our prior set was pretty crummy, so I suppose anything short of nothing would be an improvement! However, the picture on this LG is awesome, especially the HD channels. The sound is fine for us and we don’t have surround. I guess if we did, we’d be even happier. For us, it is just great.
If you do NOT like glossy screens, this is the set for you. The matte finish is perfect and there is no glare from any angle. We would highly recommend this set if you need something in the 37″ size.

5 Stars Great Deal, Amazing picutre. Buy it!
Just purchased this TV two days ago from a local home entertainment store. Got it for $1050, a steal! Since Best Buy had it for 1079, I got the price down a little more.
I did lots of research and read tons of reviews. I was considering the Sony V5100 series and all of the Samsungs 650 series and up. This beats both of them. Do not listen to bad reviews about LG, none of them apply to this tv or any of LG’s newer TVs, and don’t compare pictures between this and other TV brands at best buy or FRYs because TV calibration can be way off at those big chain stores.
I compared side by side at home entertainment stores with the Sony (way overpriced) and the Samsung 630B and 650B. The Sony is nothing special looking on the outside and the picture doesn’t blow you away. The Samsung, you lose so much detail in the color because the screens are way too bright. I saw side by side the Samsung’s reds were so pink and its greens so bright and fake, a red flower on the LG was dark and beautiful and you could see all of its fine lines and folds…however on the Samsung it was pink and the lines and folds faded because you lost that detail. Samsung just looks to artificial and bright for me and I don’t like that. Also the LG isn’t a glossy screen so you never have to worry about light reflecting from the screen. The blacks are very nice as well, I mean it isn’t an LED or plasma but the average consumer cannot tell that much anymore with LCDs becoming so good.
The LG was recommended by two very good home entertainment stores over the sony and the Samsung. It is just such a good deal and I liked the picture more, truer colors, very deep blacks and a classy look on the outside. Not to forget the speakers are much much better than the Samsungs, and the LG has the intelligent sensor which detects light in your room and adjusts the panel for how bright or dark you room is, to make picture calibration automatic and more accurate for the setting.
It is a truly amazing TV for the money, I mean if you want to overspend for a SONY go ahead and if you want the top, top of the line, this obviously isn’t your set but it is a damn good TV. I mean keep it for 4 or 5 years and then the next big thing LED or OLED will be out, so whats the point in spending $2K+ today when in a few years your TV will be old news.
Go for the bargain and just get this TV, its an incredible set.
5 Stars LG 47″ LCD, 47LH40, A++
First thing I want to say here is that I spent 2 weeks in and out of different electronics stores, comparing technologies and brands and features to narrow down the best HDTV’s in the 46-47″ range. Of coarse the Sony Bravia was the #1, but it is over $[...].
This TV came in on my #1, for it’s 120Hz “TrueMotion” picture, and true 1080p quality. So I bought it.
For three weeks now I have had the pleasure of owning this HDTV, and let me make some things straight about other reviews.
1. The TrueMotion 120Hz feature is a little strange at first. What it does, is it puts a skinny Blur around the outline of an object in motion, causing that object to look LIFELIKE when it moves. This applies to people walking, trees swaying, and footballs flying. After about two days of watching, you may get used to it. I got used to it, and LOVE IT. It is now weird for me to watch other TV’s without this. However, if you do not get used to it, you can turn off the TrueMotion feature and just have a 120Hz refresh rate.
2. The lip-sync. The LG TV is as smart as they come. It will take about 4 hours of TV time for it to calibrate itself to your cable-box or satellite-receiver. Also, depending on your HDMI cable usage, the problem can be solved by going on Amazon.com and buying a $[...] “Digital Audio Cable” and using that for your TV sound rather than the HDMI cord. Again though, easy fix once you get to know your TV.
3. The 47LH40 has smart picture capability. Which kicks Butt. My TV Room has two great big windows directly across from this TV. By enabling the Smart Picture feature ON, it will sense the light in your room, and adjust its backlight accordingly. I do NOT get any glare, and the picture is always razor sharp!
4. Little-known fact, is that LG makes the TV tuners for Samsung, Sony, Sharp, and Toshiba. So naturally, they will put the best technologies in their own TVs, making it one more reason to love LG.
5. It has 4 HDMI inputs! Which means virtually every component you want to connect (PS3, XBox, DVD player, Blueray, etc…) can connect with the best HD picture.
6. The 80,000 : 1 contrast ratio is deeper blacks for dark-shows and movies. This is truly noticeable. I replaced my 4 year old Samsung 32″ HDTV with this one, and can not believe how much this actually can be noticed once you have another TV to compare it to. My old one had 60,000:1, and deep-blacks would appear “pixelated”… but any scene, day or night, a lot or a little detail, looks just as good (or better) than it would in person!
Now that I have given you a few reasons to consider this TV, I just want to say that in the past 3 weeks of me owning this, it has been nothing but excellent. My TV shows have never looked more realistic… Football and (preseason) Hockey make you feel like you are in the stands! And Video Games (PS3 specifically) make you feel part of the game. It is truly a great TV, at a great price, and I highly recommend it. Just have patience, if your lip-sync is off for the first two days, give it time to adjust, or watch the owners-CDROM they give you, you’ll find out how to fix that. Everyone’s cable input is different so the Tuner needs time to adjust itself.
Hope this helped!
1 Star Lip Synch Problem
Had this TV for 20 days before returning it for a Samsung LED and then returning that for a Sony XBR. The LG has some real lip synch problems (go to Best Buy’s site if you want to see more). When watching HD channels the voice would come a split second after the lips moved. When I brought the TV back to Best Buy there was no argument. The three associates I dealt with all mentioned that many of the LG’s were being brought back for the same issue. They did mention that there may be an update through LG but I was not going to keep a TV with known problems that I would try and update through a USB. Stay clear of the LG LCDS until this is fixed in my opnion.
4 Stars Very good TV
We just got this TV a couple of days ago, our 42″ Phillips Plasma died and the B— B– 4 year warranty gave us store credit for a new 42″ Plasma. After looking at the 42″ TV’s my wife and I decided to go up in size. This TV has video that is better than the plasma that we replaced, has 4 HDMI ports, with one on the side which is great for hooking up video games real quick, and the HD video from my cable company is amazing. I found myself watching the third Mummy movie (horrible movie by the way) just because the picture was so great. Are there better TV’s out there? Yeah, of course there are, but for the price you get great video quality and many features that some like and others don’t (Truemotion). If you like watching sports in HD this is a great TV.
5 Stars WOWOWOWOWOWOW
This TV is really awesome. Great price miught I say first. $1099.99. That’s a steal when looking at the comparable models. What sold me on this TV was when I saw it handle Transformers BLU-RAY. Man-oh-man… it was crazy nice. These compare well tot he higher end Samsung Models.
APPEARANCE- The TV is stylish, and I really like how slim it is, and also the framing on the TV. Its a nice glossy and elegeant design. The LED power button gives a little accent of color on the bottom right which looks nice.
Construction Quality- No complaints here. Everything looks awesome. It was super-easy to mount it on the wall.. and I gues its gonig to be hanging there for a few years. SO EXCITED!!!
Ease of USE – Controls are great. A nice remote. Easy to set up. The ports in the back are very easy to distinguish.
Picture Quality – The picture really is top notch. I’ve had another SONY 1080P 40 inch TV, but this one seems to be better. I think its the 80,000:1 contrast ratio and 120hz. I couldn’t be more pleased
Sound Quality – I’m not going to dock anything really. I don’t use the sound form the TV because I have speakers. Through mys peakers, the sound is AWESOME!
Connectivity – Easy to attach stereo cords and device cords. 3 HDMI slots!! Wow, cable, PS3 amd BOX hooked up all at the same time? What could be better?
FINAL:
I don’t really see any cons with this tv.. I have to say I’m impressed.
