Customer Reviews

This is a great television and easy to use.   I have had this television for two weeks. I got it after being greatly disappointed with a Vizio 37 inch 1080p. The difference between the two was very noticeable. The picture and sound are far superior. Even when comparing to the 720p LG 37 inch, this one is much better. The television was very easy to set up. The amount of HDMI, component and AV inputs are more than adequate for any standard home theater set up. I read one review that gave this television low marks for not having a headphone jack. I feel that if you are going to get a television of this caliber, you will get a good receiver that supports headphones. I feel that is an unimportant option and I prefer having that fourth HDMI port. The energy saving option is a nice addition, although if you get a lot of sun, you need to keep that setting low during the day. All menu options are easy to navigate. I love that the television knows what types of connections you have. When scrolling through inputs, it highlights the inputs that have devices connected. Overall, this is a great TV and I highly recommend it. Love it! 1080p @ 120 Hz is sweet! I have had this HDTV for about 2 days now. I upgraded to the 37LH40 from an LG 30" wide screen 720p/1080i CRT (tube). Right away I noticed a huge difference in clarity/detail with this one in the 1080p mode. I have a PS3 (connected via HDMI), Xbox 360 (via component cable), Directv (HDMI) and a standard upconvert dvd player (via HDMI). The difference between 60Hz and 120Hz could easily be seen when the store demos were scrolling baseball team logos sideways on a black screen. The 60Hz models were jerking the logos while the 120Hz models were MUCH MUCH smoother. I'm looking forward to watching NFL games this year on this LCD! The only things I wish the 37LH40 had is a back-lit remote. The LCD screen comes close to the black color displayed on my previous HDTV tube model, but the blacks are a bit darker on the tube. Perhaps with some more fine tuning, I can get it right. As far as the lack of a headphone jack/speakers, I don't use them on the tv. I play my sound thru a surround sound system via optical cable from the tv. OVERALL, I'm very happy with the purchase. I gave up a bigger screen size to get the 120Hz model, which I think was worth it for what I will be using the HDTV for. LG37LH40 LCDTV This tv performs all the normal tasks as per spec's.

The biggest flaws are:

1. The lack of printed manual.

2. The remote is chintzy, and isn't lighted.

My biggest Pluses are:

1. Great picture quality.

2. Good on board speakers.

3. Lots of HDMI ports.

4. Attractive appearance.

One special alert:

1. My DirecTV remote didn't list LG as a recognized TV.

a.You must KNOW that LG = LUCKY GOLDSTAR in the DirecTv remote

codes list. Then you can proceed to program the sat.'remote.

This is really a criticism of DirecTv, not LG.


A more robust remote and a printed manual would make this set a 5 star buy in my book.
