LG 32LH40 32" LCD HDTV 32-inch 120Hz 1080p LCD HD Television

Mostly used with my PC. I had to go to a big screen due to my vision. I have an upgraded ATI graphics card and the picture is phenomenal. Also, go DVI from the PC to HDMI into the TV FOR THE BEST DEFINITION and make sure your card is set properly. While watching sports on a 120 Hz 32" LCD you will see things you've probably never seen in the past.

While I've only had this TV for a few hours, I'm greatly impressed. The picture is wonderful and the sound is great in the small room the TV is in. Although I would like a headphone output, connecting it to a home theater system is easy. Having a USB connection for music and pictures is an interesting feature and the music sounds great. I recommend this TV to anyone looking for an excellent smallish LCD TV.

Bought mine two days ago after some research indicated it had a better picture than Sony XBR9. A quick comparison in store confirmed that. The first one I bought had a defect with the base. It would not go into the TV far enough to align the holes for the four screws. It went back the next day. The second one assembled fine and I had it up an running quickly with a standard def composite video signal from a Verison FIOS STB. The picture was stunning! Absolutely fantastic! Could'nt wait to get HD input connected. First thing was my Sony BDP-S350 BluRay. No signal could be detected by the LG. Works great on the Samsung Plasma. Next thing was my FIOS HD Box. Aaah, a picture, but no sound?!!!? Tried multiple selections/setups with LG customer service on the phone to no avail. It went back for the Sony XBR9. Connectivity is fine now, just wish I had the stunning LG picture!

This is a good size for a bedroom (where we have it), den, home office, computer monitor - but would be small for a main TV. Before we purchased we had the opportunity to see this LG side-by-side with Sony's 32XBR9. Having done our research we were expecting to love the Sony. Wrong. The color is better on this LG (its 80,000:1 contrast is better than Sony's) and the LG has less artifacts with fast action scenes; both the LG and Sony are 120hz but LG's application seems to work better. Both are full 1080p. The bezel/frame is a bit shiner on the LG (Sony is more matte and nicer in my opinion), but the picture is the thing and we went with the LG. Better picture than the Sony, nice menu features, and even cheaper than the Sony!

This is a better than average TV. It's much better than my last LCD TV. It has a nice matte finish for the viewing area and a glossy black border with a clear accent.

Pros
* Good contrast ratio and brightness for an LCD TV.
* 1080p resolution. The best you can get for HD TV.
* 120Hz TruMotion minimizes blur, which you mainly notice on scrolling text on sports or news shows.
* Better than average low shimmer and background noise on areas of similar colors, like the sky or walls with slightly different lighting.
* Minimal digital artifacts (jaggies) for fast moving pictures, like ocean waves and car races.
* Energy saving mode.
* The standby and power on lights can be configured to be off when the TV is in either mode.
* The TV can easily swivel on its base a few degrees either direction.
* The speakers point downward instead of the front, which is good for confined spaces.
* It has a screw hole in the back of the base to attach the TV to something sturdy. This helps prevents tipping when you're concerned about little kids or earthquakes.
* In addition to simple standard controls for the picture calibration, you can also select expert mode, which has many configuration features, including color and tint for red, green, blue, cyan, yellow and magenta, which I've rarely seen on TVs. Most people won't care about this expert feature that I liked.
* The top of the TV has a flat spot where the Wii sensor bar can rest

Cons
* It takes a few seconds to turn on, but it's really mesmerizing seeing the power light pulsate on.
* It has no S-Video, but that shouldn't be a problem for most people because of the other available ports.

Other technical features of note
* 4 HDMI ports (1 on side of TV)
* 0 S-Video ports
* 2 Component video ports
* 2 Composite video (RCA) ports (1 on side of TV)
* 1 Analog RGB PC port
* 1 Optical connection for surround sound.
* 1 Coaxial port for digital/analog cable or antenna TV
* 1 USB port on the back of the TV for photo and music playing. At least that is what the menu says.

This TV was great. The picture quality was perfect. I wasn't thrilled with the whole "smooth motion" setting since it made TV look like live action theater... but you can easily turn it off. My big problem was the audio wasn't synced with the picture when it played through HDMI from my cable box. The two were about a half second off each other, so it was like watching a poorly dubbed movie. If we ran the audio from the cable box to speakers, it was synced fine. Unfortunately we didn't plan on keeping this TV hooked up to our home theater. LG said they were working on a firmware update to take care of this, but with no guarantees I returned the TV. Too bad. I really liked it other than the audio problem.

If you're looking for a relatively affordable TV / PC monitor, you should take a hard look at this one.

I'm using this in my home office as a monitor / TV / Game/ Movie display.

Hooked it up to a digital antenna and used the built in tuner to pick up local stations - most of them look absolutely beautiful. I thought the sound was pretty good too from the built in speakers, though normally I use my existing speaker set-up.

With the right settings, games on the PC look fantastic. I set the picture format to Game and use "Just Scan" format to get what I think is the best looking picture. I use these same settings when working or reading documents and I really like it - though that is just my personal preference.

One thing to keep in mind for this type of setup is that you need maybe 4-5 feet between you and the monitor (in my opinion) for things to look their best. I have a big desk and put a stand behind it to give me some distance.

The monitor has multiple inputs (including 4 HDMI!) and also provides for connections to component and composite, etc.

I've used several nice expensive monitors of various sizes in the last couple of years, and this is hands down my favorite.

This is my first LCD TV, as well as my first HDTV. After extensive online review, I settled on this product. My decision was based on positive reviews of the LH40 line of LG brand TVs, as well as positive feedback regarding LG customer service.

The picture controls are extremely configurable; they range from simple modes (cinema, game, sport) to fine-tuning white/black levels at different frequencies. I chose to use CNET's test configuration (which you can find on their message boards). The picture looks great.

Black levels weren't great, but not distracting.

I was a bit disappointed to still see blur during pan-and-zoom camera movements given that this is a 120Hz TV, but I haven't compared enough TVs to know whether this is better or worse than average.

Sound quality is what you would expect on a TV: decent midrange and highs, but no bass.

Controlling closed captioning format (font, color, opacity) for digital signals was a small feature I was not expecting.

The TV stand can swivel about 50 degrees right or left, which is a small but nice feature.

I have no HDMI components yet. I have DVD and Wii coming in through component inputs, and a computer connected through the VGA input. There is an optical audio out on the TV that I have going to an audio receiver. No complaints about connectivity. The lack of an S-video input may bother other people. There is also a USB input for MP3 playback and picture viewing, but I haven't tried that yet.

Overall, I got the TV I expected. Great picture, and great value. I would recommend to anyone.

I've Been enjoing my new tv for about two weeks now as far as i can see its a great tv for the price. the picture is very nice and the menu is very easy to use.It has alot of settings that can be costomized how you like. sports look like they are playing in the room with you.my friend has an expensive samsung and i would say that the picture quality is about the same. this is my first HD tv and for how it looks ill stick with LG

I am so glad I spent a little more and got this TV. It is "all that". My only complaint is that I can not connect it to my stereo to run sound through my hi-fi speakers when we are watching a movie. Apparently this TV only connects with the latest and greatest technology. It was a mistake on LGs part not to throw an audio jack on this thing.

I am happy with this purchase,, perfect for my bedroom , the only thing I don't like is the clear edging on the outside of the black frame... looks cheap.

Started looking for HDTVs in mid 2009 and after researching screen size I settled on 32-37' in size. Started examining models at Best Buys and Comp USAs, and the design and features of the LG really stood out. Overall the TV looks beautiful from a design standpoint. When it comes to nuts and bolts I feel it outstrips the comparably priced Samsung line or the higher priced Sony line. The contrast ratio of 70,000:1 is pretty much the highest your going to find on a 32' screen. The 1080p picture is gorgeous. The 120hz I feel is a nice bonus but not a selling feature as most media doesn't need it, but never hurts to be ahead of the curve. The HDMI ports are easily accessible, as are the rest of the inputs. The firmware works great and it's easy to program favorite channels, tune the TV, and set preferences. A great TV for a prospective HDTV adopter or experienced user.

Bought two of these and both fit perfectly where we wanted. Picture is superb, even compared with our 60" DLP, and the sound fills up the room even at low volumes.

Love the TV, great sound and a great picture. One big DRAWBACK was the lack of a HEADPHONE jack, LOTS OF HDMI AND COMPONENT jacks in/out but no AUDIO out that would allow the use of headphones. Easy 5 star if that item had been in the unit.

Had this a few weeks now, and this is a great buy. Loads of inputs, great specs... if you're not looking for something huge, this is the one to buy. I'm also using it as a PC monitor, and it's fantastic. I'm in a studio apartment right now, so getting the dual-use out of this helps me save space. Any bigger, and I probably wouldn't want to use it on the PC, but at 32", it's perfect, IMO. I'm playing WoW, RTS, and FPS on it with no complaints... handles fast paced games (UT2k4) just fine. Threw out my old 19" monitor. Had to tweak a few PC and TV settings to get the picture centered and text looking perfect (Changed font-smoothing method in Display Properties), but was very minimal effort required... looks fantastic.

I have had the 32LH40 for over a month now and I love it. No problems with it whatsoever. I did tons of research for a long time and debated between the 60Hz and 120Hz feature. I left the 120Hz True Motion feature off and have not had any issues with motion on the screen; I think it applies more to larger-sized LCDs. This is a great 32" LCD and I would definitely recommend it to others. Not to mention a 70,000 contrast ratio on a 32" is phenomenal.

like my title says it's my first TV purchase online. i was a little hesitant at first as most people i think would be. but I'm so glad i did. i ordered late Thursday and was supposed to get it anywhere between Monday and Wednesday (standard 3-5 day shipping) i received it on Saturday. how cool was that. i hooked it up to my wall mount and it's great. i rated the picture quality 4 out of 5 only because there is better picture quality out there but for this price i guess i should have rated it a 5. i had a big tube that died 2 years ago and wanted another TV but i didn't have the money considering i had no intention of my TV dieing so i bought a 27" 720P Olevia better picture then tube but nothing like this. and sound could have been better. i liked it but my big tube was a 32" and seriously who wants to downgrade in size when it comes to a TV. so i finally saved up and got this. and what a difference.

Pro's:
*No dead pixels
*Sound is awesome once you configure it just right
*menu is easy to use and is user friendly
*had no HDMI issues with sound delay as others mentioned
*picture quality is great, better than anything I've owned and better then my parents 50" Mitsubishi
*the amount of options to customize to your liking is great
*doesn't burn any images or leave traces when playing games or anything. unlike my Olevia.
*Cinema option cranks up the sound experience 10 fold
*Amazon made me enjoy it 2-4 days sooner then i was supposed to with there fast shipping


Con's:
*the only con i have is that since it's mounted on my wall the power cord is stretched to the max and is barely making it to the surge protector i just wish it was longer.

This was purchased for aged parents who had a serviceable but old-tech TV. They are so pleased with how light weight it is, the picture and sound clarity, and color quality. I am pleased for them, too. I'm no techie, but it is an excellent product for the price.

Cost plus quality--- great tv... would highly reccomend it.. for 599.99 very few tv's are better

This tv is a great buy. We purchased it in October and have had no problem with it and love the quality of the picture. We bought it for our bedrooom so we could move the big clunkly entertainment center and tv out and it really transformed the space. It is very easy to use, has a sleep timer which is very important to me and was easy, although time consuming, to install. I highly recommend this product.

I recently purchased this for $599.

Price - great value. For the quality, I think this the best buy for a 32" bedroom TV
Picture Quality - crystal clear. Granted I'm comparing to a Pioneer Elite Plasma (not 1080p), but compared with what I've seen on other TV's, this is great.
Usability - Very easy to use, but the instructions left out all the information on how to use the USB feature, & calibrate the TV. There is a professional calibration menu that I'll need to search online to understand how to calibrate the picture.

Overall I love the TV & would absolutely recommend this. I purchased it over a Samsung pure because the price was more attractable for the features. Nice work LG!

We picked this up for our house, worried about losing size (we have a small home and our previous was a 37" non flat-32 was the biggest widescreen that would fit), but the quality more than makes up for it! Going from a regular tv to an HD, and with blu-ray at that, amazing! I can't believe we waited as long as we did. We compared side by side at the store prior to ordering on Amazon, and LG by far had the best screen and look in our opinion. we love this tv and that there are enough hook ups to always have our Wii, PS3 and cable hooked up. Highly recommended!

This LCD is awesome. I'm by no means an expert in LCD, but I have a Samsung 22" (doubles as my pc monitor), both my daughters have 22" Sharp Aquos in thier rooms, I believe all of these are supposed to be a "higher" quality LCD brand than the LG, but this LG definitely is as good, it has an amazing picture. I have it connected to HD Directv and I can not see any flaws in this picture. I've watched March Madness (basketball), HD channels on the sattelite, Blueray Movies on it and saw no 'jittering' no 'ghosting' whatsoever. Worked right out of the box... I'm very pleased, espicially with the low price I paid for it ([...])

Pros - Its a beautiful picture. I love how easy it is to use. I love the energy saving option it gives you. Its a little dark at night with the sensor but in the morning its fine. The speakers are fine. No problems there. HD is BEAUTIFUL!

Cons - Sometimes, even if its on its full 120Hz, it still can motion blur. But not with everything moving fast. I STRONGLY dislke that when I press mute on my CABLE remote, it will not mute. I was told its a LG thing. Instead the stereo menu pops up. So, dont loose the TV remote! Lol... that or just press volume down until its quiet. Like I said, when its on the intelligent sensor options, it is pretty dark at night. Oh, and there is ONLY a power button on this TV. No other buttons (volume, input, ect) ... just the power button. thats fine with me but some people who like buttons on there TV, it ONLY has the power button. It takes a few secons to start up, but once it does, its pretty! :-D

I have always been a fan of LG and their LCD televisions. This TV reinforces my appreciation for the quality LG provides in their products.

This is my first "HD" TV. After doing a fair amount of research, I decided to go with this one (To my surprise, I was expecting to end up with a more well known brand name for best value).

I purchased this TV mainly to play video games on. I play Xbox 360 games (Mainly FPS and Fighting Games) and picture quality along with having no "motion blur" was very important to me. The 120hz is more then enough to eliminate any blur you may be afraid of, the TV displays fast moving action perfectly.

The picture is also perfect, I feel like I have an advantage over others online that don't have a TV as nice, I can see anyone from across the map - I love this TV.

I also watch a good amount of movies on this TV, and the pre-installed "Cinema" settings are WONDERFUL! The screen looks exactly like a movie screen (Just not as big). The true motion, the frame rate change, everything just "works" to create a great movie experience.

I tend to hook up my laptop to this TV via HDMI a good amount to watch TV shows/movies/anime and I've had no problem with that either. This TV functions great as a second monitor for a PC.

Although I barely use the sound, When I do it sounds great. Of course it can't compare to a sound system, but as far as TV speakers go they are the best I've come across. The TV is fairly light (nice when moving it) and has a nice little device in the back for organizing your cables. It looks great, performs great, is well built - I'm very happy with this purchase. At this price, this TV is a must buy if you are looking for a 32 inch HD TV.

This monitor is awesome! Just finished playing Bethesda's Fallout 3 with all add-ons and am starting Borderlands. Smooth motion, no blurring - even in the most intense firefights! Stylish case, cool power indicator, plenty of miscellaneous inputs and a multitude of functions and features. Works great for playing hd videos from my Flip Mino HD! I'm even impressive with the sound!

oh yea, works great as a tv also! ;o)
