We have been looking for a bedroom TV (had to be LCD and 1080P) for the past couple months. This was almost a no brainer, especially with the discounts we received from the store from which we purchased (HHGregg). It was even cheaper than Amazon pricing which is a shocker. This was our first LG purchase. We have typically been Samsung (love the 58″ plasma) and Sharp (have a 32″ 720P for the boys gaming), but the LG seems to be the most user friendly. I love the quick guide option off the remote which takes you quickly to areas of interest in setting up sound, video, etc…

Set-up was simple and the screen looks awesome. There are no Internet access points, but as this is just a TV for the bedroom we were not pressed on that front. I would recommend this TV for sure as a new model along with the most needed bells and whistles to make a typical buyer happy. Enjoy!

I needed a new TV for my new computer my old 27 inch Westinghouse 720p could not handle the graphics card that i installed in my new computer. The LG 37 inch 1080p LCD had no problems as soon as i hooked it up i was able to see my bio’s screen so i could finish adjusting my new computer.The 37 came with a 15 pin PC hook up which was another reason that i bought this TV. I love the picture,sound everything about this TV Oh and of course the price this is a pretty good TV for the price.As you can tell i use this more for a computer monitor than a TV i can sit back with my wireless keyboard and mouse and surf without having to squint.I would recommend this TV to everyone.

There are a million choices in flat screens! Finding the right one was very daunting, but my friend had purchased this exact model and recommended it. I did my research on a number of sizes and models, but in the end, agreed that he had found the best deal on Amazon in this LG 37″ flat screen. Delivery was prompt. The set is just big enough for a smallish living room – it’s got a nice, large clear picture without dominating the room or overwhelming me. I’m very happy with this purchase.

Our first hi-tech television brings my spouse and I into the modern era. This LG replaced our venerable and ancient Philips 16 inch tv that we got used, for free, and watched for over six years. It was purchasing the new re-imagined Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series (with Collectible Cylon) which was filmed in HD, that finally pushed us into getting an HDTV for ourselves.

Well…wow. Unreal difference from a tube tv to a flatscreen. I had never heard of LG corp (Life’s Good) before. I started by looking at more recognized brands like Samsung, Sanyo and Panasonic. But LG is in the hotel and club TV manufacturing and they were offering a heck of a lot of flatscreen tv at a better price than the others. So the risk was–try an unknown brand–LG–and hope we got something cool. We did.

It’s black and sleek. A lot physically lighter than I thought it would be and I was able to easily assemble the base to the TV with the instructions that came with it. These HDTV flatscreens are less like a TV and more like a super-monitor.

This feature-rich HDTV has three HDMI ports (Try these Mediabridge Ultra Series – High Speed HDMI Cable – 6ft – Supports 3D & Audio Return Channel to connect your devices up). In addition to ports for component and old-school adapters like RCA and AVI it has a USB port! You can make a slideshow of photos on your laptop and put them on a USB and watch them on your LG flatscreen. Sweet! It has an 8mm headphone jack as well.

Very *very* colorful. Easy on the eyes in all lighting situations and distances. 1080p resolution renders a pleasing level of detail in objects. Only drawback is that non-HD tv looks meh now. Our playstation 2 and VCR tapes don’t look so great either. On the other hand, a nice upscaling DVD player could make some of your DVDs look a lot better on this kind of TV.

From an interoperability standpoint, I am still figuring out all the things this TV can do. One of the most awesome functions is its onscreen interface. We used to use a small cable-switching box with big plastic buttons to tell our old TV which composite AV feed to display: DVD, comcast cable, PS2. This LG HDTV uses an onscreen interface in the ‘inputs’ section on the remote control to scan all incoming data signals and display what devices you have connected that are on. It lets you surf with the remote, which input to view, USB photos, cablebox, Playstation, DVD player. No more clunky cable switching box–thanks to a generous and varied array of input options on the back of the TV and a great onscreen menu to manage them.

Remote control is a little largish–but buttons are easy to press, super responsive and the onscreen menus are easy to navigate. TV is super smart and will power down the DVD player when we switch the screen off. Really nice introduction to flatpanel HDTVs with this LG. Well priced for its features and just incredible picture to look at. Wonderful piece of technology.
