I got this TV for the living room about 3 years ago when we moved house, we used in there for about 9/10 months, then I realised that we could of gotten a bigger one, so we bought a 50" Samsung, and put this LG one in the games room up the stairs for the kids. I was happy using it in the living room and have had a pleasant experience, now the kids can use it in their games room up the stairs, for playing games, watching movies when they have friends over. Appearance- The TV does look smaller than our previous 42" it just takes some time to adjust because the speakers are built in, and not attached on to the side so therefore looks ...  Read the complete review

I bought this TV as a replacement for my trusty 26in Matsui that decided that it just couldn't take it anymore and just wouldn't turn on no matter how hard we pressed the on button on the remote. The LG 42LD450 after taking out the box you do see a few bits to put together, and you will need a philips screwdriver to achieve this, however the instructions I felt weren't that bad (some people think they're a little confusing) but as long as you have a modicum of common sense it's a doddle. Putting it together literally took me on my own 8 mins. The base does initially feel a little thin and like it's not going to take the weight, but once it's up and ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought one of these from Amazon and I have to say, it is the best thing I think I have ever bought. The price was simply superb for what this TV has. It features Full HD, in-built freeview, 24p Real Cinema mode (which makes movies more lifelike with less motion blur), HDMI support, and an incredible in-built speaker system, with a feature called "Infinite Sound" which basically makes the entire outer bezel a giant speaker. An energy saving feature is also present. This TV is primarily used for gaming through my PS3 and the experience is more than enjoyable with 1080p picture bringing everything to life, and the incredible audio letting me ...  Read the complete review

I am a traditionalist. But I when it comes to new technology changes, I wait till things have been around for a while. I love CRT TV's as I think they provide the best picture, a few years ago I bought a Sony WEGA 32inch CRT TV, instead of a LCD/PLASMA TV. People where saying oh you need to get the latest TV, but I stood by my choice. A 5-6 years back the LCD/PLASMA TV's were just very expensive devices with "OKAY" picture quality. But just made to cash in and were a lot cheaper make, normally rushed to market. I know this because back then I worked for an Independant Home Electronics company, so I know my stuff about most home ...  Read the complete review
