I couldn't have imagined how awesome this TV was until it arrived. br / br /I'm a very educated shopper, and I know my specs, and this TV totally satisfies in every aspect. br / br /I especially like the red accent along the edge of it and the translucent bottom. Not quite evident in the stock pics, but very beautiful. The sound was impressive also, better then i expected given the unique nature of the speakers in this set. br / br /bravo, all around.

Bought this TV a few weeks ago, and all I can say is that it's SUPER! I was going to buy a Sony, but after doing a side by side comparison, the LG has a better picture for several hundred dollars less than the compatible Sony model. If you want a SUPER HDTV, buy the LG 42LG70 !

Picture is generally great, the complaints I have is that the PC input has a really hard time working, it takes (on average) 20 tries before it will finally display my laptop's picture. (Maybe there is something wrong with my laptop, but I don't think so, I have hooked it up to multiple projectors for work presentations, and there has never been any issues.) br / br /Another complaint is the sound. When there is background noise I have to turn the volume up to 60-70 (out of 100) and it is still not very loud. br / br /The final issue is using the 120Hz on the TV, which is done by changing the "True Motion" option to "High." All Blu-Ray movies look a bit off, it's like it changes the movies to live High Def TV shows. It makes things so crisp and clear, that a movie such as Transformers that had incredible special effects, so much that they actually looked real in the theater, look like animated objects on a green screen. This is not a huge issue, you just turn the True Motion off, but it makes me feel like I wasted money paying more to get an LCD with 120Hz. It does, however, make video games on the PS3 platform look better. (By the way, I have high through-put HDMI cables for the inputs into the TV.)
Excellent TV for the Price October 17, 2008

I bought this TV through Fry's when they had it for $999. I was hesitant to put down a $1000 on a TV just to have the features be outdated, but this TV has all the new technology and for a reasonable price. I compared this TV to my parents Sharp Aquos, and some other ones at the store and this one is just as good as the Sony's, Sammys and Sharps and for a more reasonable price. I would highly recommend this TV.

I spent hours looking at just about every 12Ohz TV in the store. I had the decision down to the Samsung "Touch of Red," LG Scarlett (LG60) and this 42LG70. The Samsung seemed nice, but I felt it was overpriced. It had half the features the LGs have. The only thing "special" about the Samsung was that it had a hard drive. Personally I don't need a hard drive on my TV. I like the Scarlet (42LG60), but I wasn't a fan of the big circle in the middle. It's style and design seemed a little odd and old fashioned to me. Then there it was, the 42LG70! Same exact features as the Scarlet, but the design is much more modern (and $450 cheaper)! The finish is very sleek and shiny. You can see your face in it (it comes with a super cool, high speed micro fiber cloth to wipe off finger prints and smudges and it works really well)! I got it home and hooked it up and the picture was unreal. I watched an episode of Prison Break in HD and was blown away. My wife made the comment that the picture was so good, you could see the actors pores and imperfections lol. The funny thing is, she usually can't tell the difference between HD and SD. This TV has opened her eyes (we had a 32LG40 from three years ago)! br / br /Like someone already mentioned, the TruMotion is an excellent feature while watching most programming, but for certain HD programming and every movie I have tried to watch, its better to turn the TruMotion off. The problem I noticed is that it seems you are watching everything in a x2 FF mode. Turned the TruMotion off and the speed went back to normal without any loss of picture quality. br / br /This TV is absolutely amazing and you cannot beat the price! Sony is overrated and expensive and Samsung is starting to get that way too. Bottom line: you can't go wrong purchasing this LCD TV!
