You now have one of the best pictures you can get for under a grand, and not too far away from even the most high-end of models. The TV has a few flaws (like only 1 HDMI input on the back of the TV, making wire control a bit of a hassle and having a bit clunkier design than some models), but the picture itself is great. Highly recommended.
5 Stars it is okay.
For while ,it is a good price for the item. but now it is not the good deal.
5 Stars I couldn’t be more pleased
The picture is awesome and the menu is easy to use. I just can’t find anything to complain about this product. I have only owned it for a month.
4 Stars Great TV for the Money, but still has problems.
I purchased this TV about two months ago. I waited until now to write the review. I have this v5100, a PS3 Slim, and Xbox 360 elite. First and foremost, the picture is exceptional, I already have a 65′ Mitsubishi DLP, this is a welcome addition to the home. First off, the picture on this LCD unit is amazing, it may be the 120 HZ refresh, I’m not sure. Blu-Ray looks good enough that I am in the process of updating my DVD library with as many as I can find.
Cons, I bought this TV, a PS3 Slim, and Sony Sound Bar for the Bravia Sync. Bravia Sync is about 50% effective, I can control the Sound Bar with my television and cable box remote which makes it bearable. The bravia sync feature seems limitied, to the point where it doesn’t work half the time. I’m constantly having to rescan the unit, not to mention that the PS3 won’t even recognize the television as a Sony Product and limits Blu-ray capability until you find the 1080p Blu-ray option in the settings and disable.
I wrote this review because I purchased this TV to watch blu-ray, and I purchased the v5100 to sync w/ the PS3 slim, and it doesn’t even work properly. The TV it self is great, the problem is that it is not as advertised.
5 Stars really happy
I love the picture – it’s absolutely beautiful (too beautiful, I’m watching too much tv now!) And the user controls are quite easy, the inputs a snap and the overall usage quite nice. Attractive tv. And the price was quite good!
BTW, I am using an HD antenna and am happily surprised with the quality – it’s great!

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.
