What's great about it: Design
What's not so great: Everything Else
I have had this unit for about 14 months, so I know what's good and what's bad about this unit. The speakers aren't bad. The remote does not seem to send a signal well to the receiver, sometimes you're pressing the same buttons a few times before you get it to do anything. It's easy to set up and maneuver around.
Just recently the DVD player stopped recognizing the DVD on the tray. I've tried many many DVDs and Bluray but it keeps saying "No Disc." I've unplugged the unit and updated it since, but nothing's worked. Also, it takes between 30-60 min to update each time, even though I have a 15mbps download speed.
This unit seems to start slow and respond with lag or not at all to commands via remote. Batteries are not the problem here either.
If I could do it all over again, I'd buy the surround sound separately from the DVD/Bluray.

What's great about it: Great picture, great sound, ipod/iphone dock, and simple
What's not so great: Certain blu-ray discs to long to load but it may be from the amount of content the disc had
So this item is listed at $399, but last week Best Buy had it listed for $279 online which was incorrect, and the store matched the online price so i got it at a bargain. I'm an audiophile/techie on a budget so I went with this unit as you could get 1,000 watts plus blu-ray in an LG brand. The setup was simple, and speaker calibration couldn't be easier. This blows my previous, non blu-ray, Sony system away. Definitely a really good system for the price, especially the price i got it for. A big plus is the built in ipod/iphone dock that flips down from the face.

What's not so great: whistling noise and lg's customer service
I bought one of their units with the whistling noise. Sent it in, paid them a service fee, $69, and waited. Called them and they said they know what the problem is, but don't know when they can fix it. NO ESTIMATE!
They are rude and unhelpful. So I have no unit and no idea when it will be sent back to me.

What's great about it: Picture, Price, Sound, Inputs and Outputs.
What's not so great: Takes a while to load some blu-ray discs, Popping Noise, Doesn't Remember Scenes Of Movies For Playback At A Later Time.
I went to my local Best Buy store last week and looked at the LHB335. All they had were ones manufactured before June of 2010. I went back on Friday and they had two after June so I quickly purchased the item. If they didn't have one after June, I was willing to drive to the nearest Best Buy store (about an hour and a half away) to pick one up if they had it in stock.
The audio and video this system produces is truly amazing! I live in an apartment building and I'm afraid to turn the volume up above 12 because I don't want my neighbors to hate me (lol). Even listening to FM radio stations is very clear.
My tv is not fully calibrated yet (I purchased it a couple weeks ago) so I can't wait to see how good the picture on this blu-ray really is.
Today, I was watching The A-Team..well, trying to at least. For some reason the blu-ray player kept skipping scenes of the movie. Not sure why that kept happening.
I noticed a popping noise coming from the speakers today also.
Something I can not figure out is how to make it remember the part of a movie that I was on if I turn off the system so when I turn it back on, it will pick up from where I left off and not start back at the beginning.
I have this home theater hooked up to my LG 50PK750 so Simplink is a pretty cool feature BUT I still find myself using both remotes. The home theater remote doesn't have buttons that the tv remote has so I still need to use both.
It takes the blu-ray player a little while to read blu-ray discs, it doesn't take as long for some discs as it does for others.
The speaker wire is a little on the cheap and short side. I will be replacing them very soon.
Other than that, I have no complaints at all and if you can find one manufactured after June of 2010 I don't think you will either.
Enjoy your new home theater!

What's great about it: Looks, Easy to set up
What's not so great: Speakers don't work right
I bought this even after reading about the speaker issues becuase of the cost. I though that others just may have mis-wired their units or a bad batch had gone out but had been fixed with new units or a firmware update. Within about an hour I had the same whistling - hissing that everyone else has talked about on here in the center and right rear speakers. I changed my audio source from an optical cable to RCA cables and switch the speakers to others I had from an old DVD unit trying to trouble shoot but all with the same results, hissing and whistling. After LG's Tech support had me 'turn the unit off and back on' and 'check to make sure all the wires are pluged in correctly' and claimed that this was a new issue I returned it for a Sony unit that for the week or so has been working great!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's not so great: Audio quality being transferred via HDMI
Don’t purchase this unit if you are planning on running your cable tv through the unit with HDMI. Certain cable channels produce a popping noise when the audio quality changes. I.e. Going from network programming to a commercial and vise-versa.
The blue-ray player is also very sensitive and 75% of the DVDs I have viewed have skipped.

What's great about it: Its a blu-ray
What's not so great: Sound
Ive read about all the noise problems with this model and i just thought people were crazy then after a couple of days noticed a hissing sound out of the center speaker like everybody was saying happened to them. Called LG and they said theyve never ran into this problem. Tried telling me to unhooked the wire from the center speaker and hook it back up, what kind of people are working there?

What's not so great: Wired rear speakers
I read the reviews AFTER I ordered it. Was very hesitant after hearing about the tea kettle noise but I picked it up anyway(had a gift card). Set up was simple. Followed directions explicitly. Not one problem. No speaker noise. This sucker was worth every penny. Bought the extras. HDMI in and out, digital audio cord for surround sound TV (Love it), internet access. All perfect. I have bought LG products for years and have never had a problem.

What's great about it: Sound quality and brand name
What's not so great: no built in wi-fi
I really needed something loud for me to get into movies, so I went on-line to explore the options. I found this one on sale and decided to buy it. It was an easy set up and I love the sound quality and the extras like pandora and netflix. The only thing I should have done was check if it had built in wi-fi. I had to connect the internet directly to the blue-ray player. But that was my fault. There is another 1100 watt LG Blue ray player with built in wi-fi but of course it costs a little bit more. Anyway if you want something simple, this is it. I love it!!!

What's not so great: Sound quality. Internet apps are weak.
I get the same tea-kettle whistling noise from front right speaker as others reported. If you are a purist, do not buy this system. The noise is noticeable, but not bothersome to me.
Another "problem" is that it can't read some JPEG pictures from USB attached device, even though these pictures are perfectly readable on the PC. I have not been able to narrow down what in the JPEG format it does not like.
The netflix app lacks a search feature -- annoying.

I have had the system for almost a month now and I couldn't be more happy with how it has performed. The sound quality is awesome and just makes my viewing experience with movies, sporting events on television, and general music listening enhanced by so much more. I did have some issues in the set up in the first time turning it on, I couldn't get any sound to play through. However it was only a minor one as the problem was figured out quickly after turning the power off then on again and hasn't happened since.

What's great about it: Ease of operation, setup, sound quality
What's not so great: Occasional popping noise
This surround sound system is actually quite good for the price that you pay. If you buy it, I would also suggest getting the Rocketfish adapter which will allow you to connect the rear speakers "wirelessly" to the actual sound system up at the TV. It's nice to not have the cords all over the place like you do with most surround sound systems.
However, the speakers tend to make almost a "pop" kind of noise every so often. I'm still not sure if maybe my husband didn't hook the speakers up correctly or if it is something wrong with the speakers themselves. Other than that, we have had no problems with them at all and they work quite well for the price. The Blu-ray player is amazing and has great picture quality.

I am very happy with my purchase, I would prefer wireless speakers but it is worth the pain with cable management for the price. Even though the description says it is good for Iphone it was not really design for it, but still works. Only thing I don't like is when I try to use it with the Iphone Pandora App it doesn't work, since the iphone needs to be in the Ipod mode. Video and sound quality very good.
