Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer
From the Manufacturer (August 27, 2009)A
feature-rich HD experience is available at almost any budget with the
LH20. Get crystal-clear HD picture quality, LG’s Core Technologies and
features that maximize your enjoyment of movies, games and TV. Whether
you use it in the living room, the bedroom or anywhere else, the LH20
comes in a wide range of sizes to fit almost any environment. It’s a
great way to get into HD.
I've had my new LG for a week and I'm thrilled with
it. We bought this T.V. to replace an older 19" CRT for the den, where
my wife and I end up watching T.V. in the evenings because the kids are
doing homework or entertaining in the room with the big HDTV. The
picture is so crisp, and the colors so vibrant, that I find myself
looking for excuses to turn it on and watch it. I'm afraid to admit it,
but I may actually prefer my new 32" LG to my 60" Sony! I liked the
swivel base, so I was choosing between this set and a Samsung at the
same price point. The pictures were very, very similar in quality, but
I chose the LG because it was a newer model than the Samsung, and the
Samsung was really at the low end of the Samsung line, while this LG is
more in the middle of the LG line. The picture was great out of the
box, although the T.V. is packed with features allowing you to tune and
tweak the picture settings to your heart's content. I'm also very happy
I didn't spend more money for a 1080p set. At 32" the 720p resolution
looks awesome, so I can spend that extra $150 on something else. Add to
all the above the fact that the set looks fabulous sitting in its
cabinet, and you have a great value.
Thanks LG!
Great choice for small room
This TV deserves another 5 star rating! It's
perfect for our bedroom. The picture and sound were great on standard
settings right out of the box, although it has several alternate
pre-sets and infinitely tweakable custom settings. The big menu is very
intuitive but it also has a quick menu that pops up in the lower right
corner for quick changes to common things. The remote is small and has
well spaced, easy to use buttons.
I wanted a solidly built TV with decent sound and my wife wanted no
clutter and simple operation. This one is all black, no "bling" but has
enough features and connections so we could use it for more than a
standalone TV. The "invisible speaker system" is pure genius and gives
a surprisingly full sound without needing a speaker system and amp (no
clutter). More importantly (to me since I'm a bit hard of hearing), the
clear voice and auto sound leveling (quiet parts automatically turned
up while commercials don't come out blaring) both work well. It's one
of those "set and forget" things. Here are more pictures and specs:
[...]
A technophile could hash over the finer points and compare this to
others in its class, but as far as I'm concerned: it's a new model, has
a clear, bright picture, the faces and landscapes all look realistic,
and it has great sound, so how much better can it get? Of course the
news and some commercials are still way over the top with color
saturation and contrast, but that's not the TV's fault.
6ave get's five stars too. I'd never heard of them until I saw this
item, but 2 minutes on their website convinced me they were organized
and reputable. It came wrapped in a second box with foam peanuts all
around it to prevent shock. The order was placed on Sunday and it
arrived Wednesday morning in perfect condition. They are in the same
league with NewEgg, B&H Photo and BuyDig. Also UPS called us to
make sure someone was home to sign for it.
One last thing... the manual power switch and all the other side
controls/connectors are on the right side out of view, and that little
bump on the bottom frame (on the right) is a subtle status indicator
light that glows red or blue. The main jacks are all on the rear left
(as you would face the screen) and it has a built in wire guide that
can help keep a few wires neater.
Overall we are both very, very pleased and now we are planning on
replacing our big rear projection box with a sleek LCD TV, probably a
bigger version of this one.
So get off the Samsung bandwagon and get this one before they
sellout. Nothing against Samsung at all, but some marketing genius has
stolen the attention from other well engineered new TVs available on
Amazon.
Fingers Crossed
I bought this TV on 7/7/09. After I'd set it up and
fallen in love with it it malfunctioned-I turned it off and it wouldn't
turn back on. I returned it to Best Buy and exchanged it for the Sharp
LC32SB27U that the salesman there had tried to convince me to buy in
the first place. (The Sharp was on sale and saved me around $70.) That
was okay...but I didn't like the Sharp very much. The pedastal is much
better w/the LG and the picture was better right out of the box. I kept
the Sharp until 7/14,when I simply threw up my hands and went back to
BB and exhanged this for yet another LG. (Ironically, the LG was now on
sale. It cost less than the Sharp had cost when IT was on sale. Karma.)
Once again I'm in love w/the set. The picture is fine and everything
about the set seems more substantial than the Sharp. But will it last?
I sure hope so. I'm not wealthy and a new television is a big deal to
me. (I'm using this as my primary TV,while most of the reviewers seem
to consider it too small for that.) I'll come back in 6-9 months and
follow up on how the set's doing. I've got my fingers crossed.
Update 9/27: I had reported a problem with my DVD player with this
TV. I'd believed that the LG didn't have enough plugs to run my ancient
DVD/VCR combination player and my wife's Wii system. The DVD combo is
so old that there's no outlet for an HDMI cable. There ARE enough
outlets on this TV. Finally I got things hooked up correctly, and my
DVD player, the TV and my wife's games are all coexisting cheerfully.
The strange thing I now have to deal with is that my DVD player won't
work properly unless I run it through my cable box with a coaxial cable
hookup to the TV. Instead of using the DVD player through the input
menu I use the "cable" input. Harmless but strange-this is no doubt a
result of using very old equipment and the AT&T Universe. So I no
longer have issues of any kind with this TV.
