LG F-DV 25

Advantages: Great value for money
Disadvantages: Contrast/Brightness need a bit of tweeking

..., it was extremly easy to set the date and time, and only took a few minutes to search for the channels. In total it found about 11 channels, but it took only a minute to deleted the channels not needed (7-11). Sadly, we cannot find the remote control code for the Sky remote to control the TV, but that is not a problem, as if you leave the TV's volume at about 25-30, you will not need to search for the TV remote to adjust the volume :) At the top of the remote control is a button called 'Input', which lets you quickly and easily, in a menu format, change to whatever input channel you want (Scart, HDMI, Componant, etc). This is presumably the replacement for the AV button, usually found on remote controls. Once everything is set up, all we had to do was tweak the brightness/contrast settings slightly and the picture quality was amazing... Read review

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
