Making a case for LG; amazing tv.
By Is It Dead Yet
LG does'nt get enough praise.Just bought this TV for the sake of it being an IPS panel and for its apparent adjustability (and also 1080p). Plus this tv is so easy to calibrate; the 'picture wizard' is extremely helpful.The amount of menu options is jaw-dropping, as is the style of the set. The LH40 model looks neat with the plastic square along the bottom of the panel, but I like the more minimalist look of the LH30, and I do not like the 120hz or the $100 price jump of the LH40.I made a comparison to my sony 32M4000 (which I have now given to my father) and there are some interesting differences (many are polar opposites):-The sound is far superior on the LG.-Black levels are very close, sony's is a bit deeper and maintains black colors better at angles.-The whiteness of whites is slightly better on the sony, but colors and mid tones definitely have more of a 'punchy' factor on the LG.-Color is amazing; rich and saturated; best ive seen on any LCD, period.-Color does not wash out at all from different angles, only very dark colors and black tend to become discolored (blue or red depending on the angle).-Of course there are far, far fewer picture options on the sony.-My sony has a ghosting problem with dark colors, not so on the LG; motion blur and lag is also reduced too.-OTA HD channels look decent enough, not as sharp as the sony, but the better color makes up for it imo.What was the main factor that made me get this LG?..its S-IPS panel. Samsung is an excellent maker of lcds, but I steered clear of them this time, as buying a tv from them is like playing the lottery. They use 3 different panels with differing levels of color and contrast quality; you are not essentially getting what you pay for: You may get Samsung's own S-PVA panel, the best quality (if you're lucky). An A-MVA panel from Taiwan's AUO (a notch worse than S-PVA). Chinese company Chi Mei's S-MVA panel (worst of the three).Panasonics IPS Alpha panels are decent, but on some panels dark colors appear far too blue from different angles.That narrows it down to LG's S-IPS panel; its color saturation, vividness, and response time are worth the slight sacrifice in contrast and black depth (at least in my opinion).This tv is not perfect, however; I spotted 3 dead pixels right out of the box (2 bright, 1 dark), right around the middle of the screen. They are practically invisible without being a foot from the screen and looking hard for them, however.Viewing angles demonstrate some darkening of the picture, but its not too bothersome (swivel stand helps).No other flaws I can think of at the moment, I recommend this tv!My calibration settings use color adjustments from cnet.com along with some of my own tweaks, try them out!Picture menu:Aspect ratio: Just SizeEnergy Saving: OffPicture Mode: Expert 2Backlight: 60Contrast: 88Brightness: 58H Sharpness: 60V Sharpness: 60Color: 50Tint: 0--Expert control menuDynamic contrast: OffNoise reduction: OffGamma: MediumBlack level: LowReal Cinema: On [grayed out]Color Standard: HD [grayed out]Color Gamut: WideEdge Enhancer: OffxvYCC: Auto [grayed out]OPC: OffExpert Pattern: Off[grayed out]Color Filter: OffWhite balance: MediumMethod: 10 point IREPattern: OuterIRE: [see below]Luminance: 137 (100 Luminance only, 90 through 10 are preset)-- 10 point IRE calibrationIRE: [Red, Green, Blue results, respectively, for each IRE point]100 [-8, 1, -40]90 [-13, -5, -40]80 [-20, -12, -40]70 [-17, -14, -33]60 [-17, -12, -31]50 [-17, -13, -26]40 [-13, -12, -19]30 [-6, -4, -8]20 [-6, -4, -10]10 [2, 3, -1]Color management systemRed color: 2Red tint: 0Green color: -1Green tint: -7Blue color: 2Blue tint: 7Yellow color: 0Yellow tint: 1Cyan color: 0Cyan tint: 0Magenta color: 0Magenta tint: -2

Okay, but not great
By T. Doyle
I purchased this TV from Amazon supplier Tiger Direct based on Amazon reviews in early November 2009. We have a two year old 32" Samsung HD LCD TV that we were moving to another room and the LG TV was purchased to replace to older TV. My wife and I both found the quality of the picture to be inferior to the Samsung. Moreover, the biggest problem with the LG TV was the deterioration in picture quality with viewing angle. The LG also seemed to have a slight problem keeping audio and video in sync on a few programs, somthing we had not noted in our other TVs (we have four flat panel TVs in all - only one is HD) Given the room we planned to place it in required a wide viewing angle, we returned the TV.

Excellent Economy HDTV
By Playingpossum
The LG 32LH30 32-Inch 1080p replaced a 720p 32 inch Samsung which I returned because of erratic sound quality. The LG provides a very clear picture for upscaled DVD movies and over the air digital signals. The speakers provide excellent sound for a small living room although the addition of a home theater system would substantially increase movie enjoyment. Standard definition signals also reproduce a stable clear picture. Colors are very good and the set provides sufficient tools to tweak the picture for personal preference. I have not used it for bluray as yet but HD from satellite is very good. The features of this unit described on the Amazon specifications list accurately describe its features and can be relied upon. I am not a hard core cinema/video buff but I cannot imagine that this unit will not satisfy most viewers who want a well priced midsized flat screen high definition TV. My five stars are based upon what I expect in similarly designed and priced units for a smaller room.05/14/2010 I have just connected the LG 32LH30 to a blueray player as well as a WII with Netflex connectivity. They both work well and the LG's bluray images are as sharp and vivid as those on my 40 inch Sony Bravia. I continue to be pleased with my purchase although I must also report the failure of the remote control (just out of warranty). LG customer support referred me to a third party vendor who sold me a replacement for about $17.00. This was my first failure of a remote since they were first introduced way back when.
