This is by far the best TV we've owned. With HD and just a regular HDMI cable, the picture is fantastic. Sound quality is OK, but if you want better sound, that's an easy add-on with a home theater.
What's great about it: Vibrant picture
What's not so great: so-so sound

Purchased this LG for my bedroom. The picture quality is awesome, however, not too keen on the speakers. It was so easy to set up and very user friendly. Love the fact that it helps you set up the channels and picture. Overall, I’m an personal fan of LG and this tv is great.

Great product with a great look. Very easy to use and very easy to install. Allows for many inputs. The only downfalls are small. It takes a minute or two for you to be able to use the remote after turning it on. If the last person had it loud it will be a minute before you can turn it down. Even smaller problem is the definate attraction to dust. Definately do not allow either problem to stop you from buying.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, great quality, looks great
What's not so great: Takes minute or two to use remote after turning on.

This TV is the best deal for the 120 Hz 1080p TV. The picture quality of this display is the best I have seen. Using the PS3 I do not believe that it can get any better.
What's great about it: Picture quality, Picture Options, Price
What's not so great: The IR sensor is on the right side of it, better in middle, but nothing to worry about

After shopping flatscreens for 3 months. We narrowed our selection down to, Sony, Samsung, and LG. Had a heart set on Sony Bravia and when it came to purchase with the options that were most important 1080p 120hz and 40"+ was the deciding factor along with warranty via Best Buy and bottom line price. After just a week at home and in operation, this flatscreen is amazing. The picture is clear, crisp, and not destorted through the viewing fast paced Olympics. Easy setup to connect the PS3 and the dvd player. Works great with my Time Warmer HDDVR box. No major complaints. In the future maybe LG will provide better speakers with more power, but for now, great unit for the price and all the high end features.
What's great about it: Besides mostly everything-- the price, size, color, setup, warranty and overall ratings.
What's not so great: Need louder speakers, but can remedy with a speaker bar.

After going through 3 different TVs (all were bad from the original Dec buy date to Feb) of a more cheaper brand at Best Buy, they agreed to exchange my last 42" Dynex for a different brand and I ended up choosing this one as it was on sale at the store (moreso then what the website stated. You will not be disappointed.
I was blown away by just how smooth 120Hz really is. I've gone back and watched movies I probably wouldn't have watched again due to the enhanced performance 120Hz offers just to see what it's like and just WOW! To one's eyes is practically doubles the framerate (not literally but to the human eye is sure does look like it). It's smoother then anything you'll see at a movie theater.
My ONLY gripe is it does not provide analog audio out, only optical. This hampers my audio choices as I only have a cheap 2-speaker setup with a 5 year old receiver so I'll have to splurge on a $60 optical > analog converter at some point thus -1 star on sound.
The remote is a tad big in my opinion but is very responsive. The battery case is attached so no worries losing it. The TV unit itself does take as stated in other review 3-5 seconds to turn on but that's typical for most LCDs regardless and ~1-3 to turn off. No sound syncing issues with this unit as well.
The amount of customization for picture settings is almost too much and I have yet to get everything just right as some movies seemed darker in places then I remember on other TVs but that's a minor issue.
For you gamers, make sure you get a HDMI cable capable of 120Hz transfer for say, a PS3 otherwise you will not be able to take advantage of the additional smoothness.
What's great about it: Ease of use, outstanding picture quality
What's not so great: Sound output

I read the reviews and made my selection, I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!!! The picture is very clear and I later found out that Consumer Reports has this TV ranked #17 out of about 30 other sets. When watching a broadcast in HD, it seems that I can reach out and touch the actors. It also work very well with my PS 3. Can't wait to watch a Blu-Ray disc. Well I better prepare for the divorce papers, because I'm never coming out of the man cave!!!!

This was our first flat screen HD TV and we are most pleased with it. We read reviews and needed a TV with a good viewing angle as it is set up in corner and we have seating on both sides of center. LG was rated one of best for viewing angle and it is very good. Picture & sound quality are also very good. No negatives to report. We're very satisfied and glad we bought it.
What's great about it: Very good viewing angle; It was on sale (good price); Best TV we've ever had

This set replaced a 40" Samsung I returned after two days because the sound was mysteriously increasing on its own. I'm so pleased I went with this LG. I immediately noticed how much crisper the picture was. The Samsung was only 40" 1080p 60Hz but I still wasn't impressed when I compared it to my previous TV which was a 37" 780p 60Hz LG. The 120Hz LG is extremely clear. Watching HD movies on this TV makes you feel like you're on the film set; it freaked me out a bit. Great thing is you can turn the 120Hz off and the 60Hz picture is still awesome.
The only thing that had me nervous about going with this set were the reviews mentioning sound sinc problems. I'm happy to say I haven't had any such issues. This TV is primo. Only reason I didn't go with LG to begin with is because the biggest I wanted to go was 40" for the bedroom. My wife thinks the 42" was pushing it but for the features and price I had to do it. I'm already used to it in our room. I'm very happy.

What's not so great: Nothing

I bought this tv at a discounted price thanks to Best Buy's open box deals. It is an amazing set and compliments my black tv stand, blu ray player, and Xbox 360 Elite. The sound changes with different channels but that is not the TV's fault it is the station's fault. If you want a name brand 42 in w/120hz and under $900 then look no further than this LG
What's great about it: The picture is so clear, 120hz
