 the best choice March 13, 2010

picture quality can be very subjective and you'll often see reviewers claiming their particular tv is best; however, if you're not interested in opinions and want a tv whose quality can be proven for a fact, the LG is it.
unlike other brands which exaggerate the contrast and color to look more vivid, LG instead makes it their priority to create the most accurate picture possible; in fact, their tvs without dispute have the most color accuracy available in this range. even with 'vivid' mode turned on in the store, it was clear to me that the LG looked much truer to real life than the samsung next to it which, despite 'looking good' in a general sense, bizarrely distorted human skin tones.
the number of features LG includes for picture adjustment are another an indicator of how serious they are about getting an accurate picture. even in this entry level set, the vast menu of options gives you more control over picture than most brands do with their top of the line models.
the picture wizard feature, despite sounding like another gimmicky add on, is so surprisingly useful and simple that you'll wonder why something like it isn't included in all tvs- just match your picture to onscreen test patterns and your tv will be calibrated to give the truest picture. how trustworthy is it? i tested the picture using a THX optimizer and absolutely nothing needed to be readjusted; the tv's internal test patterns were every bit as accurate as the optimizer's. the tv even includes filters for red, blue, and green, so you don't need to wear THX's goofy blue glasses to do the color setup.
if you have fancy calibration discs and color sensing equipment you can even set white balance through a 10 point IRE, which ensures that every shade of gray will be reproduced without color intrusions. most people, myself included, won't have the equipment to do that but it's impressive that the tv allows that level of adjustment.
motion blur is nearly non-existent for most colors, although very dark shades do still tend to blur slightly on light backgrounds. overall, the tv is as close to blur free as you'll get at this price. the black levels, although not the absolute darkest out there, are also more than good enough. the tv does a good job of scaling up 480p content from dvds and games, making it a good choice if you have a lot of standard def material. the scaling and image processing are also unbelievably fast, which is good if you're interested in playing video games without lag. a game mode is included, but even with the full image processing on the tv doesn't measurably slow down, making such a thing unnecessary.
the only complaint i have with the overall quality of the tv is that there are two stuck pixels, which couldn't be fixed no matter what i tried (thankfully, they're easy to ignore). otherwise, i've been completely impressed with the quality of the picture and adjustment features. once it's been set up you'll have a tv that not only looks great in a general sense, but also looks the way it's *supposed* to, which is something not all competing tvs can deliver. it works beautifully for tv, movies, and video games all the same. if i had to choose again, i'd go for the LG without thinking twice.

This TV was all that I could ask for. It exceeded all my expectations. I would recommend this TV to anyone interested in great quality in a 32 in tv.
Better than Sony and costs less March 1, 2010

I had read that LG was making one of the best TVs recently, but wasn't very sure about that. Now i see it is true! It is much better than the Sony or Panasonic of 720p. It is a very good buy for the price.

I have now bought Two of these HD LG Televisions, and the second was not to replace the first one i bought. Need i say more? This TV is simply amazing. Sound is awesome, picture quality is sharp and crisp and the gloss black finish it has, is so sexy. I'm a hardcore gamer and have out-grown my 19'' PC monitor so i decided to upgrade. I'm so glad i went with LG. I have both my PlayStation 3 and xbox 360 connected and this TV did not disappoint. HD movies looks sharp and crisp and with a great response time, there is no ghosting on fast paced action scenes. The only downside to this television is that my girlfriend fell in love with it, so in order for me to continue gaming with no interruptions, i had to purchase a second one for our bed room, which i just did. If you are on the fence about this HD TV, wait no longer, this is the one for you!
Fantastic TV February 23, 2010

Amazing television. We upgraded from an older Sony Wega 32 inch to this. The picture is amazing looking, set up was easy, it runs perfectly with our PS3 and 360 on component cables.
Very pleased with this purchase.
