This is the first LED TV I’ve bought so I did a tone of research before finally settling on this unit.

Things I love about this TV:

-The backlight on this thing turns way up so you don’t have to worry about having dark scenes like in Interview with the vampire you can’t see.

-On the quick menu you can easily change the sound between Music and Cinema and I can actually hear the difference. I actually think the sound on this television is as good as the sound my neighbor has on her tv with speakers

-I noticed I was getting a little noise on the sound when I had the Clear Voice on but totally fixed it when I put the Auto Volume option on in the audio main menu.

-I keep the tv on a lot for music during the day since I work from home and there is this great button on the remote labeled energy where you can quickly adjust from 100% which is the best for viewing to maximum energy saving. I like this not only for the energy savings but also to save the back light from 100% constant use.

-I noticed that one of my shows off of my Roku (digital boox that streams netflix) wasn’t HD and the picture was okay but noticeably different. I adjusted on the picture main menu the aspect ratio to Just Scan and it actually cleaned it up quite a bit.

-Overall picture quality can be adjusted by so many advanced option that if you play with it I’m sure you can get exactly what you want.

-I know it is 720 versus 1080 but at this price range when I looked at the specs if you go for 1080 it seems that you will get dark spots in dark scenes and it’s refresh rate will be so low that you will notice it in quick scenes plus the audio seemed unreliable. I think at this 32inch size 720 is really not that noticeable.

Very satisfied customer. Only complaint is you need 4 screws to attach the tv to it’s base and my baggy only came with 3 in it. Luckily the hardware store is right down the street so I was able to get something comparable instead of waiting for them to ship it.

Do your self a favor, get some good HDMI cables with noise reduction that can handle full HD (found some on amazon for like $7). Regular cables don’t cut it and you won’t want to wait when your tv arrives.

Happy Viewing

After thoroughly researching the various 32″ offerings, I decided on an LG, 720 p. This is a bit of a disappointmnet, as the picture is not as sharp as I expected and the viewing from the side- tho done rarely- is quite faded and distorted. I also had great difficulty in attaching the screen portion to its base- the instructions are inadequate. Overall, I’m satisfied- but it should have been better for the price I paid.

I was looking for a TV for my master bedroom for about $400. This was by far the best tv for the price and value. Rich picture, great sound and awesome black levels. Not an 1080? Yea, you can’t notice a difference with a 32″ TV. Not 120 Hz, why buy? Believe me, this is not a living room TV for entertaining family. This is a side room tv that is a nice upgrade from a tube TV. Great TV, ’nuff said.

This is a great little set. Essentially I think it’s the ’09 lh20 model upgraded. It has great color, nice contrast, and outstanding sound. With your basic hd television source it delivers a super crisp, bright, and vibrantly beautiful picture with enough pop to make you smile. Like the lh20 though, it does have a bit of screen noise. But, for the price it’s an awesome deal. In my opinion I feel it’s easily one of the better entry level hd televisions out there.

Picture quality on this tv is excellent (it has an IPS panel), black levels are impressive, color is vibrant. And you can tweak the picture to your likeing with a ton of various options. Took me a while to get the picture quality just right for gaming, HD content and SD content. SD tv actually looks pretty good on this tv, suprisingly sharp picture quality on it. Though this being a LCD tv the picture isn’t crystal clear, in darker areas you can see some obvious blurring or trailing (but only if you really want to notice, and its not as bad as the latest Samsung), in brighter areas blurring is not noticeable at all (in Modern Warfare 2 for example darker wood textures you can see the blur when moving, on brighter wall textures there is no blur).

Speakers are decent, not going to blow you away with the sound but they aren’t complete crap either. Like the picture – sound also has various tweaking options.

Remote is pretty standard, doesn’t look cheap and doesn’t go overboard with the options. But is has everything you’d accept to be on it.

Also has a headphone jack (and unlike Samsungs you can control the volume of the headphone jack with your remote).

You can also display pictures or play music with a usb stick, I don’t think I’ll be using this feature. Would’ve been nice if it allowed you to play videos from the usb stick…but they only have that feature on their higher end models.

One problem is that if you switch the input to hdmi and then go back to AV or TV input…there is no sound. You have the turn off the tv and turn is back again to get the sound back.

4/5.

I paid $416.54, amazon now dropped the price.
