I imagine that the majority of people looking at the LG 32LC2D are attracted, as I was, by the price and the manufacturer. LG have developed quite a reputation for making quality LCD televisions and the 32LC2D does not disappoint. The picture quality is outstanding from a digital input. I spent quite a few weeks going into local electrical stores and looking at practically every 32" LCD TV I could find. I always came back to LG as not only is the design of their models nice and slim in comparison to many other brands (particularly Sony and Philips) but the picture quality was very impressive indeed.
In the end, I splashed out a very cheap 560 pounds from an internet company and had my new TV within a week. Set-up was a breeze apart from a bit of confusion with accessing the digital channels (the manual does not explain you have to actually select DTV from the input menu instead of TV to get digital). Was a little concerned at first about the fact that there are only 2 Scart sockets at the back, but then realised I no longer needed my set-top box connected so only had one Scart running in anyway. You also get all the other connection options you would expect from a new TV, S-Video, component, RGB, HDMI (now if Microsoft would just make an HDMI connector for the Xbox 360) and a card slot if you want paid for Digital channels broadcast on the Freeview system. I managed to have the TV up and running with my Xbox 360 and DVD/Video combi-player in about 5 minutes.
Everything since then has been a delight. Sound quality was a nice surprise (difficult to check in most high-street stores) with a good quality stereo sound that does a decent job of creating the illusion of surround sound. The Picture-In-Picture feature was not something I was concerned about before purchase but I find I use it all the time now meaning I can keep an eye on the football scores coming in on Sky Sports News whilst watching a DVD or playing on the Xbox. Unfortunately, the remote control is not great compared to other manufacturers. Everything is there, but some buttons take a bit of finding. Also, the menu system is not laid out in a particularly logical fashion. However, given how good everything else is these are minor gripes and should not stop anyone who wants a top quality 32" TV for under 600 pounds from snapping up one of these.

Quick review of LG Electronics 32LC2DB Review ofLG 32LC2DBby

Not good. Has been back to the workshop three times since April. Comes back each time with the same fault. A predominately red screen causes a severe break up of the picture which often changes to blue!! I have so far found the head office in Slough unhelpful and
all they ever want me to do is send it back to the workshop yet again!!
Not happy. Would not buy another LG product ever again.
Cannot fault the workshop in Mitcham for communication and punctuality, but they seem incapable of repairing the fault.
I also had to pay £30 for a loan set the first time, but refused to on the second and third occasions. Beware!

...Negatives
The remote is quite big, a wee bit bigger than a Sky remote but as it is a rectangular shape it seems bigger than that. However if you have a LG DVD recorder or/and vidio the remote will work the basic features of these as well. ...

Advantages: Good Looking, Practical, Great picture Quality, Reliable Disadvantages: None to report.
This LCD TV is great value for money. It is a very attractive television with a great picture qualuty. I have owned one of these for over 6 months now and have had no problems what so ever with it. Highly reccommended piece of eletrical equipment. The remote is your average style, nothing fancy. The performance of the televison has swept me away, there are different sound options to choose from, such as game, music, cinema and nromal. There is also ...

The sound is also very acceptable for LCD ... ...allow you to configure the LG XD Engine settings to give even greater detail in the picture, as well as settings for skin tones and black levels. The TV has its own viewing settings built in which you can choose from for a quick setup, but also supplies 2 user settings for you to amend if you like to tinker around for perfection.
DVD playback has been excellent on this set and is like having a minature cinema in your front room. I certainly

Advantages: Built in freeview, & auto set up a must! Disadvantages: Really hard to find any
What attracted me to this tv was 'looks, the speaker being at the botton rather than the sides, & intergrated freeview.
The price i found to be reasonable, compared to other highly priced tvs that have the same specs as this one.
You can switch from digital to analogue also.
Picture quality is excellent, with many different picture options from the menu on the remote control. The remote is a bit on the bulky side, but comfortable to hold (if your ... ...stand, which looks good & is quite solid, not liable to tople over.
At the back of the tv is a card slot for 'top up tv' which is excellent for adding to the freeview channels, (works on a 'pay as you go' from month to month)
I would recommend this tv if you are looking for an in expensive tv with all the specs & functions that this has to offer. ...
