Very good for the price. Durability?. Had to return LG 42LH50 within a week because of a 1/2 inch blue dot that had formed in the middle of the screen. Got the second one home and the faux chrome decorative piping at the bottom of the frame peeled right off when I (carefully) removed the protective plastic. The picture is wonderful for most applications; LG 42LH50 has excellent color and deep, rich blacks. The standard audio and the surround-sound simulation are both very good. I’m not entirely sold on the 120Hz feature, though. Couldn’t really notice any difference with LG 42LH50 on or off while watching football or hockey in HD. I guess plasma is still the king when LG 42LH50 comes to fast-motion applications. Still a very good buy. I might more strongly consider the Samsung A650 or Panasonic Plasma if I had LG 42LH50 to do over again.
Nicely priced and looks great. Bought this TV from the Vanns vendor on Amazon for $1550 which worked out about $300 cheaper than if I bought LG 42LH50 at a local Best Buy (taking into account local tax.
I was also considering similarly priced 46″ TVs from Samsung and Sony. I took a look at the models I was thinking about buying at the local Best Buy. They all looked pretty good, but the picture on the LG just looked a little better (maybe LG 42LH50 was my imagination). Anyway, until I saw the models in the shop I was favoring the Samsung, but after seeing the LG working I opted for it.
The TV was easy to set up and looks great. The various mode settings (Cinema, Sports, etc.) do seem to be effective. I’ve watched some Blue Ray films and the picture is just amazing.
I have to confess, this is my first HDTV and I previously watched everything on a 28″ tube TV, so I certainly wouldn’t call myself and expert. But, I can’t imagine how another 1080p could possibly have a picture any better than this one, no matter how much you’re willing to pay.
five star. We love this TV. Great picture. Good online shopping savings. We loved LG 42LH50 so much that 2 weeks later my son bought same product. And he got LG 42LH50 for 150.00 lower than we paid. But all good everyone got a bargain.
