I bought this t.v in november from additions for 499.99. i have never owned a product from LG berfore but my friend swears by them so i thought id give it a try.
The t.v is beautiful, the finish is superb, its got a shiny finish. (little people finger prints stick out by a mile so we wall mounted ours.)
There are no buttons on display, only a discreet on/off button on the front. All the other controls are via remote or by a panel of buttons on the side that are not visible.
The speakers are also not visible and this gives the tv a really sleek look.
Freeview is built in and there many different functions for viewing the listings and guides of programmes. also a really cool feature of booking your programme, either for the tv to remind you something is starting or for a recording of that programme to be made (not used the record feature yet but its looks as though the tv will start recording it for you as it asks you to make sure that the vcr timer is set.)
the picture quality is very good, my oh has an x box360 and he says that the game playing quality is excellent, we also run our wii off the tv and the picture is great.
changing settings on the tv for what ever you are using it for is a great extra and gives you better quality picture i.e watching a dvd-change it to cinema or xbox change it to game.
the tv is very much worth its money, and i was extremely happy with my purchase.
i personally didnt set up the tv but my it didnt take my oh half an hour to do, and i think from what he was saying that the tv pretty much guides you through it.
how ever, there is just one thing i would recommend if purchasing this tv and are going to mount it onto the wall, shop around for brackets! the one associated with additions was £89.00! the one in currys was not much better, but i got one for £45.00 so it really does pay to look around.
