Making a case for LG; amazing tv. May 06, 2009
By Is It Dead Yet LG does'nt get enough praise.
Just bought this TV for the sake of it being an IPS panel and for its apparent adjustability (and also 1080p). Plus this tv is so easy to calibrate; the 'picture wizard' is extremely helpful.
The amount of menu options is jaw-dropping, as is the style of the set. The LH40 model looks neat with the plastic square along the bottom of the panel, but I like the more minimalist look of the LH30, and I do not like the 120hz or the $100 price jump of the LH40.
I made a comparison to my sony 32M4000 (which I have now given to my father) and there are some interesting differences (many are polar opposites):
-The sound is far superior on the LG.
-Black levels are very close, sony's is a bit deeper and maintains black colors better at angles.
-The whiteness of whites is slightly better on the sony, but colors and mid tones definitely have more of a 'punchy' factor on the LG.
-Color is amazing; rich and saturated; best ive seen on any LCD, period.
-Color does not wash out at all from different angles, only very dark colors and black tend to become discolored (blue or red depending on the angle).
-Of course there are far, far fewer picture options on the sony.
-My sony has a ghosting problem with dark colors, not so on the LG; motion blur and lag is also reduced too.
-OTA HD channels look decent enough, not as sharp as the sony, but the better color makes up for it imo.
What was the main factor that made me get this LG?..its S-IPS panel.
Samsung is an excellent maker of lcds, but I steered clear of them this time, as buying a tv from them is like playing the lottery. They use 3 different panels with differing levels of color and contrast quality; you are not essentially getting what you pay for:
You may get Samsung's own S-PVA panel, the best quality (if you're lucky).
An A-MVA panel from Taiwan's AUO (a notch worse than S-PVA).
Chinese company Chi Mei's S-MVA panel (worst of the three).
Panasonics IPS Alpha panels are decent, but on some panels dark colors appear far too blue from different angles.
That narrows it down to LG's S-IPS panel; its color saturation, vividness, and response time are worth the slight sacrifice in contrast and black depth (at least in my opinion).
This tv is not perfect, however; I spotted 3 dead pixels right out of the box (2 bright, 1 dark), right around the middle of the screen. They are practically invisible without being a foot from the screen and looking hard for them, however.
Viewing angles demonstrate some darkening of the picture, but its not too bothersome (swivel stand helps).
No other flaws I can think of at the moment, I recommend this tv!
My calibration settings use color adjustments from cnet.com along with some of my own tweaks, try them out!

Okay, but not great Nov 20, 2009
By T. Doyle I purchased this TV from Amazon supplier Tiger Direct based on Amazon reviews in early November 2009. We have a two year old 32" Samsung HD LCD TV that we were moving to another room and the LG TV was purchased to replace to older TV. My wife and I both found the quality of the picture to be inferior to the Samsung. Moreover, the biggest problem with the LG TV was the deterioration in picture quality with viewing angle. The LG also seemed to have a slight problem keeping audio and video in sync on a few programs, somthing we had not noted in our other TVs (we have four flat panel TVs in all - only one is HD) Given the room we planned to place it in required a wide viewing angle, we returned the TV.

Excellent Economy HDTV Jun 02, 2009
By Playingpossum The LG 32LH30 32-Inch 1080p replaced a 720p 32 inch Samsung which I returned because of erratic sound quality. The LG provides a very clear picture for upscaled DVD movies and over the air digital signals. The speakers provide excellent sound for a small living room although the addition of a home theater system would substantially increase movie enjoyment. Standard definition signals also reproduce a stable clear picture. Colors are very good and the set provides sufficient tools to tweak the picture for personal preference. I have not used it for bluray as yet but HD from satellite is very good. The features of this unit described on the Amazon specifications list accurately describe its features and can be relied upon. I am not a hard core cinema/video buff but I cannot imagine that this unit will not satisfy most viewers who want a well priced midsized flat screen high definition TV. My five stars are based upon what I expect in similarly designed and priced units for a smaller room.
05/14/2010 I have just connected the LG 32LH30 to a blueray player as well as a WII with Netflex connectivity. They both work well and the LG's bluray images are as sharp and vivid as those on my 40 inch Sony Bravia. I continue to be pleased with my purchase although I must also report the failure of the remote control (just out of warranty). LG customer support referred me to a third party vendor who sold me a replacement for about $17.00. This was my first failure of a remote since they were first introduced way back when.

Stylish and perfect Oct 02, 2009
By CallMeB
"Big B"
First, I am feeling cheated right now, since I paid over [...] for this TV around a few months back. On the other hand, there is a lot of positive things about this TV which I really appreciate.
1. The picture quality is just amazing. It really has a enriched color display and your experience with sports will probably be awesome.
2. The sound quality is not the best I can get, but it is really close to perfection and I would still rate it 5.
3. The body has a rich color and is perfect and is stylish.
4. When viewed from various angles, there is very little depreciation of real output and a few faded spots do appear. On a comparison with other models, this is very minimal. Also, you would be viewing from a good distance, which voids the issue. We also use the swivel when you hook it up for games.
5. I have it connected with DVD players and it is awesome so far. Very satisfied with picture quality.
I kind of wish I have a bigger screen though. I saw this 37" 1080p [...]which is also glossy black at a local store and is just a [...] extra.
It depends on your viewing distance and how far your sofa is from the television. With 1080p and a deep discount, I would call this a deal!!

Known audio problems...be warned Nov 21, 2009
By R Sempsrott
"ThreeMomMe"
Purchased this LG tv after reading the amazon reviews. Once I received it and hooked it up via HDMI cable to my DVR, I noticed a problem immediately. The audio & video are HORRIFICALLY out of sync. The audio is delayed by one second or more and makes it impossible to watch. I thought it might be the cable box so I called Time Warner and they swapped out my cable box for a new one. It made zero difference. Finally I called LG tech support and they didnt even ask me that many questions and said it was a known issue. They took my information and are sending a tech out to fix it. They claim that they are aware that there is a problem and there is a fix but it requires a tech to physically make a visit. After the call, I did deeper research and there are tons of internet postings about this same issue with folks all over the place extremely upset.
I then waited for 2 weeks and never heard back from LG. Called again and was told that they are getting swamped with calls on this issue and that they had no idea when I would get service. They said to call back after a month (!) if I hadnt heard back from them!! They claim that if you dont use HDMI, the problem goes away. But thats the reason I bought a 1080i TV....for the HDMI. Needless to say, please dont purchase from LG and pick another brand, at least for a while. Also, I purchased from Adorama Camera (via Amazon) and they have a no return policy for TV's which is amazing and quite a shock. So I am stuck with this TV whether I like it or not.
