LG 37LG3000

Advantages: Aesthetically Pleasing, Great Sound, Power Saving Features
Disadvantages: Standard Resolution lacks in clarity

...I bought the 42 inch LG5000 from Currys at a cost of £649.99 a little over a month ago now. WOW! What a TV. <<< Setup >>> The box is huge and does come in handy for keeping the kids happy for a while leaving enough time for you to get the TV up and running. Once unwrapped and plugged in it really is a breeze. As I began to set-up the TV, the size of it made an impression on me. As I fired it up the next thing to attract my attention, was the great easy to use set-up menu which takes you through the set-up step by step, explaining everything as you go through. Once set-up was complete, I got down to sampling the many features on board. <<< Picture Quality >>> The colours stood out to me from the outset, with vibrant, bright tones and great deep and detailed blacks. High definition images are fantastic giving... Read review

Advantages: Clarity, detail, a movie experience at home, people's mouths fall open.
Disadvantages: Any weakness in TV signal will be quickly apparent because of size.

...... it's not as good as, say, underneath for access. Once connected the various plugs are invisible but it's quite a tricky feat to reach up behind the machine whilst looking at the manual's picture of the back and plug anything in. Fortunately, once things are attached they're done for a long time. You can't take this TV out of standby without pulling the mains plug out of the wall or flicking the switch. This annoys my wife as the socket is difficult to reach and we can't easily do that. The manual suggests turning things off fully whilst being struck by lightning or going on holiday. How good is the LG 50PC56 for watching? This depends entirely on what you feed into it. If you have Virgin Cable then it's very poor. I've had an engineer come out to see why the built in Freeview which is great looked so much nicer than the slightly... Read review

Advantages: Wall mounting saves space
Disadvantages: expensive to repair when things go wrong

...I can only tell you of the experiences found when purchasing an LG plasma tv. Firstly I would like to shout from the roof tops to any potential purchaser DON'T GO THERE!!!!!, this product is apparently always going wrong. I purchased my plasma 13 months ago and one evening the picture failed but the sound remained. I was never offered by LG to take out any warranty so when it came to ringing Customer services they were literally the most unhelpful people I have ever had to liaise with. If your TV is out of its warranty then tough, you must pay for the engineer yourself. Why does a TV which cost £1300 only last for 13 months then its components clap out? I rang the engineers to find just how much a callout would set me back. I was not prepared for the amount stated. The engineer seemed to automatically know the exact... Read review
