   I couldn’t believe how dark and muddy the picture was on this TV. I tried with the HDMI and component from a high-quality Sony system. HDMI certainly looked a lot better and I could scale the image to the native resolution of the TV and it still looked awful. Adjusting brightness and contrast just washed out the picture and made all the blacks gray.

   I had this TV for 6 months now, and the TV is perfect for the price tag. I like the picture quality, sound. I dont know why some people had issues with it.

   When I brought my 42″ LG home and set it up, we were getting erratic behavior–the picture would freeze for 10 seconds or so four or five times a half hour. I called LG and the cable company. The latter changed a card in the set top box and everything was fine. I saw the cable guys at a neighbor’s home a few days later. Both of them had bought the 42″ LG like mine! The two of them agreed that they’d seen lots of new HD sets, but thought the LG was the best cost/performance buy.

   I purchased this TV about a month ago and so far no complaints, whatsoever. I have hooked it up to a Sony upconverting DVD player, and a digital-HD cable box. Spent initial half an hour to calibrate my input signals from these devices, and voila! crystal clear picture. Btw, you should always calibrate your TV because the factory settings are there to make these stand out the competition, not always The Best for your TV room ambiance.

   I am not using internal speakers, since my devices are routed to audio reciever, so cant really say anything about the TV sound quality.

   Overall, for the price, I am very happy and I think I made the right decision not to go for Samsung 40″ which I was getting for about the same price.

   I purchased the LG 42LC7D recently to replace my Toshiba rear projection HD CRT, that failed after 3 and half years. I shopped around for the awhile and found that this TV had the best picture and features for the money. I got it set up and mounted to the wall. I was impressed by the picture. The HD looked really good on my old TV, but this one looks much crisper. The colors did not seem as vibrant as they were on my old TV, but they were close. I had it hooked up through component and HD looked excellent, but the analog channels were still a soft, and dull. Then I went and picked up the cable box that supports HDMI. I was blown away at the difference. I did not think it would matter that much. HD looks nearly the same, but the colors are much deeper. The biggest difference I noticed was in the analog channels. They look incredible! The colors are much better, and the picture is crisp. It is one of the best pictures I have ever seen with an analog signal. I couldn’t be happier. Overall, I am very happy with this TV, and you can’t beat the price.
