Full review

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 clarity and brightness that shines through. The standard definition images do let it down a bit, with a lack of detail and some dull areas.

<<< Sound Quality >>>

The best feature for me is an invisible speaker system, which incorporates speakers in strategic spots around the entire bezel so that they're completely hidden from view, giving the set a clean and compact appearance. Its benefits aren't just visual though. LG reckons this style of speaker system in the bezel generates a wall of sound that offers a wider sweet spot. I concur. The sound quality is fantastic, wherever you sit you get a great stereo sound with the occaisional directional sound thrown in. Top marks for this.

<<< Remote Control >>>

The remote is well built and robust and using it couldn't be simpler. Yes there are a load of buttons on the remote though if you are like me and prefer NOT to read instructions in favour of a good play about with things then you will soon have the control mastered.

<<< Aesthetics >>>

As ever, LG's primary focus is on the aesthetics, and they really push the boat out with this set. Simply Stunning!

The set has a black high gloss finish with gentle curves. It comes with a very sleak stand (also in black high gloss) that allows you to twist the set. I have to say that I have wall mounted my set. A very nervous time that was. £650 worth of TV hanging from a wall! eek! I love DIY though when it came to hanging the TV I had my reservations. I had to hang myself (95Kg) from the bracket before I was happy that it would support the weight of the TV. Incidntally, the weight of this TV is not that bad really. It weighs in at around the 19.5Kg mark.

<<< Technical Stuff >>>

The set features a multitude of connections, including three HDMI 1.3 inputs (two on the rear and one on the side) all of which support Deep Colour and LG Simplink (LG's name for HDMI CEC). These are backed up by component video, two SCARTs, PC input and optical digital audio output on the rear.

Joining the third HDMI on the side are S-video, composite and stereo audio inputs and a common interface slot for adding pay TV channels to the Freeview line-up. There's also a USB port on the rear but before you get too excited, it's only for service purposes.

The resolution is 1,920 x 1,080, allowing you to display 1080p material from a Blu-ray or HD DVD deck in all its glory. The set features a 1080/24p mode called TruCinema. This runs at 120Hz and uses a 5:5 pulldown technique to display each of the 24 frames five times, but because all of the frames are shown for the same amount of time there's no judder.

LG has also packed the set with an Intelligent Sensor, which automatically adjusts the picture depending on the viewing conditions to deliver the optimum picture. This reduces the power consumption and protects against eye strain too.

The set comes complete with Freeview TV. Don't rely on freeview though, as it depends on what part of the country you are in as to what channels you can receive. I live on the Hampshire side of the border to Wiltshire and I receive around 12 Freeview channels out of the 100 or so available. This is due to reception being reduced in my village.

<<< Top Tip >>>

It is strongly reccommended to purchase a surge protector for any LCD TV. This TV is no exception. They can be bought for as little as a fiver. Without one you run the risk of the pixels burning out over time. Leaving little black (dead) pixels on your screen.

<<< Overall Opinion >>>

The LG 42LG5000 LCD TV is a great TV with, stylish design, reasonable price tag and a great array of features to play around with to suit your viewing requirements. Standard definition images are its's only flaw but for watching your Blu Ray DVDs and playing on a HD Xbox 360, this is the set for you.

<<< Would I recommend it? >>>

YES! Whole heartedly. Yes there are cheaper sets available though LG are the forerunners in TV technology and this is extremely evident in this case.

Quick review of LG 42LG5000
Review of LG 42LG5000 by hesaurus

Generally a well made and easy to use television. Benefits form the usual LG user interface which is straight forward which allows setup in a matter of minutes. Standard digital TV image is good as any other but the set really comes alive in HD mode which is stunning. Connectivity is good with 2 HDMI inputs and provision for numerous other connections such as RGB components, VGA cables and SCART. The only down point is the quality of the blacks generated which are not as deep as some other LCDs and plasma. For the price however it is hard to beat.

Review of LG 42LG5000 by col210373

Like the plethora of LG TVs on the market, the 42LG500 is an incredibly stylish piece of hardware. It looks the buisiness and performs even better. Clear, sharp display and a plethora of features. It also offers an outstanding range of connection options - 3 HDMI, Component, 2 Scarts and PC input all available. Also includes a digital audio output connection. Overall, an excellent TV at a reasonable cost.

Review of LG 42LG5000 by Scott7405

Wow! This TV is more like a pc than a TV, It is packed full of fantastic features, it has an intelligent sensor that dims the screen when you are watching at night so that your eyes don't get sore and it is constantly changing the setting to optimise the picture quality. It has a built in freeview box, ^ different AV modes, 5.1 surround sound with clear voice for films, invisible speakers, 2 scarts, 3 HDMI and stacks more goodies. I have owned three different LG TV's now and would never go back to some of the other well known brands as with an LG TV you get 10 times more for half the price.

Review of LG 42LG5000 by emmarytradestead

This high-definition monitor houses a delicate 42-inch screen. It excels in performance, design and features. The nicely-crafted screen offers vibrant color and well-rendered images. In addition, the stand offers a stable base. This LCD monitor is a smart choice should you are looking for a productivity unit. The nicely wide viewing angle assures you vibrant color and detailed image no matter where you sit in front of the screen. Let's not forget to mention the CE and FCC safety approvals.
