Cos I just bought one Kinda spur of the moment thing. Are they any good?

It's a 42 inch....

 

i dont have one but lots do, 1 up form a budget TV really. Are getting cheaper by the day.

Same panel as a samsung, or used to be.

im not a fan to be honest thing the colours on LGs and Samsung are massively over the top but i think im the only one on here lol.

 

I'm not a big TV person, just needed a new one. So I thought, meh, that'll do me...

it's 1080p, so thats good? No?

 

Lots of people have had problems with a lg 42 inch lcd, Type it in google and you'll see. loads of problems with the screen, Rumour had it if you had a porob they would replace with a 50", It was only the 42" that had problems though

 

It's a 42 I got...................

Free 50 inch you saayyyy.... hmmm

 

what? please ignore comments like this...

need more detail on which model you have bought and how much you paid for it to make judgement

 

1080p is what youre looking for. but its not the be all and end all of a tv.

Lots of people like LG and loads love Samsung.

I have a 52inch sharp Aquos which to me when i bought it the picture quality was far superior to the competition samsungs and lgs. the sony for a 50 inch was 1500 dearer.

when i replace it although at this rate i dont think i ever will as its been faultless for 3 years atleast i will buy the sharp quatro one thats advertised with RGBY.

For me main brand tvs go like this Pioneer, panasonic, sony, sharp, samsung, LG, all the low end stuff...

but most really like samsung (which atleast when i was buying mine was basically the same as LG)

 

here we go again!

i mean the brand.

 

I've got a 32" LG LCD 1080p TV and i'm really pleased with it.

Paid around £350 for it in a January sale earlier this year and when used with Sky HD or my PS3 Bluray the picture quality is great!

 

42LD450

Paid 500 quid mate.

 

Got a 32" LG and it does what its supposed to do

 

looks like you paid a good price mate, it will do exactly what it says on the tin, it will be very good quality from a HD source. Had a quick scan on the net and there does not seem to be any horror stories

 

for the price good tv mate, has everything you need and the picture will be a good quality you would have had to spend another £150 for the next step up imo but im sure you will be happy with it

 

I hope so! Ordered Sky+ HD today, which promted me to get the TV. Only wanted it for the sky plus, but figured I may aswell use HD'ness of it...... Got a million HD films on my laptop which will look nice. Canny wait to watch Avatar on the big screen in HD.......

 

Just got the 50" LG 50PQ6000 about a month ago, £550 delivered.
Briliant tv for the money, good guarantee, not worried if it breaks after that as it's hardly a massive expense. Depends what your after really, i don't see the point in buying a 1500 tv that will I will no doubt get rid of the same time after i'd get rid of this one, so will lose less money.

 

The point is on the screen all about image quality, blacks and motion

 

I have one, its great! I can even plug my hd into it and watch all my avi films. Not seen another tv with that capability. Plus the picture quality is decent too

 

Thats exactly what I wanna hear Long as I can watch the world cup in HD I'm happy...

 

blacks is a big deal.

I really like panasonic Black, For me 3 years ago samsung and lg were shocking with clacks and whites.

Massive in your face unrealistic colours back then aswell. Quite possible that things have changed now.

If i dont get the sharp then my next tv will be Panasonic. Just hard when there is nothing wrong with the telly you have. Thats the good bit about buying the best spec you can at the time.

i think i paid 1700 and its probably worth 200 now lol.

 

ive had lg 50" plasma for 6 months £600 and blacks and motion are all awesome, ive played 10 hours straight on zombies and theres not a hint of score burn anywhere

 

how many other brands/types/value/spec of tv do you have in youre household to compare with?

 

Panasonic have been able to do this for a while

 

Without sounding funny, your awesome and my awesome are prob different, the only LG i would personally even consider is the ps8000 and even that is 2nd best to the pannys, just about all the reviews will back this up to black levels and image quality just isn't LG's strong point but decent enough none the less

 

I get the whole "big sell" on image quality but any normal persons eyesight can't see a minute fantastic boombastic image quality beyond a certain point anyway, and no one i know has 2 tv's in their house right next to each other so they can compare the difference all the time, so you won't even notice. Anyway, each to their own. To me it's lke having a watch that displays milliseconds, i won't ever use it and i don't need it, but I'm sure there is a market for it.

 

Have they? Didn't know that, but then you pay a premium for a panny. I'd love one of their g20's but they are serious coin.

 

Everyone has to remember, my current TV I bought in 2001, and it's a 26" screen... It's about 4 foot deep, weighs the same as my car, and has a habit of switching itself off

 

i have an LG 42" plasma (i know you said LCD)ive had it about 2 years now and its still as perfect as the day i bought it but its absolutely great,wouldnt change it for anything now.

todays tv's (plasma or lcd) have good menu's and you can usually play arround enough to get an almost perfect picture, where blacks are blacks and motion blur is minimilised.

 

there not to bad now and with the new range just been released will be even cheaper soon i paid £1100 for my g20 well worth it imo

 

Whats the difference betweem PLasma and LCD anyways? And what is different about HD ready and actually HD?

 

your going to be knocking one out then mate when you see it

 

mate lets not go there

 

HOw not I feel I need to get all the information avaliable now I've parted with my money

 

have a look around this will tell you everything you need to know

I used to have a 42" LCD LG.
