1 Stars If you like a Gray vertical stripe….
After waiting 2 weeks for its arrival you can only imagine my dismay when I took it out of its box, pluged it in to see a 1/4 inch wide grey strip running from top to bottom in the middle of the screen. Picture was great if only the stipe was not there. Needless to say, TV went back and the supplier does not have any more, so here I sit trying to decide on another brand of TV.

5 Stars LOVE IT!
Got this off HSN with free shipping…easy to set up,beautiful picture, hdmi’s made blu ray dvd and cable box set up a breeze. Remote works for tv and dvd easily. The blu-ray really popped the dvd..it’s unbelievably sharp. No complaints. Compared it to the sonys and samsungs first. Very pleased with the 120hz and 50,000:1 contrast ratio for this price. You can adjust the sound and picture to the mode you want..cinema, sport, set by program, etc. And it has an automatic lighting adjustment in case you turn on a light, it will readjust the picture.

5 Stars Nice Design, Good Quality, Fantastic Picture and Good Price
I bought it through amazon. Really a very good price compared to SONY and Samsung. The Picture quality is great and HD is full and involving.

Also free voltage (100-240v) and rotating screen. Sounds like a trivial function, but a rotating screen is an important function if you would like to view the screen from various points in your house. And you have a hard time fiding a rotating table for this kind of TV. Overall, a very nice product with a very nice price.

5 Stars 42 LG60 customer review
I am very pleased with the TV. The picture quality is excellent, and the sound is good, for a non surround system. The product was easy to assemble to the stand. Using the set was easy. The on screen instructions were easy to follow. I researched similiar sets with the same specificatons. 42LG60 was the best value for the dollar.

The only negative was that Picture in picture is not an option

Great picture. We love our Samsung 50″ plasma, but there is still a conversion problem with FIOS, which makes us lose connection, so we looked at other brands. LG is a great value for the money. The picture is comparable to the Samsung. The sound got a bad rap in many reviews I read, but I think it’s just fine. We just listed through the internal speakers. Also considered the 42LG70 model. Almost exactly the same except the 70 is more $. One internet site referred to the 60 as an upgrade over the 70 so that made up our minds. I found later that the 70 has an extra audio output that I might have used. Set up was easy right out of the box except for the stand. If you’re not going to mount it on the wall, the stand is a little tricky to assemble. Overall I would make the same purchase again.
