Bang for Buck Performance knock out!

this tv is great, first off- the remote. its simple, doesn't have thousand buttons on it- its simple, and easy.
the picture is great if you are watching HD and blu-ray, but if you are watching standard definition, then its best to watch it on your old tv (but since everything is pretty much in HD anyways- be patient).
the color saturation is accurate- meaning- its not to 'rainbow-ish'( there isn't an exaggeration of colors, every color is natural )
ex. the tide commercials are bright white, and the road on nascar is black really black, but you can see a clear distinction of color and detail between the road and the tires- (remember they tar the road before its driven on- so the road looks like new) unlike some tv's **coughs - sam - coughs - sung**

for the price, i couldn't find a better tv. i bought the tv, 3 year coverage, and hdmi cables (12ft) for under 2,000.

Great TV except for when it has an intermintent problem!

Bought this tv almost 1 year ago and have had it back to the shop for the same intermitent problem twice: shuts off/picture disappears w/ screen going black for about 10 seconds right in the middle of watching something [annoying!] We are wondering if we should pay for the extended warranty (not happy about that) especially since it appears someone else has had a similar problem.
Otherwise TV is great.

Review on the 52LG70 120 HZ 1080P HDTV

Ever since I started buying Flat Screen TV's. Plasma and then finally LCD, LG has been the only brand that I have purchased. I am not saying that LG is the best but I think for the value, LG is the best fit for me. I did a lot of research on this unit before I purchased it. It was replacing an LG 42" Plasma 1080i/720p set I bought a few years back. It was still under warranty and the picture just went out. I got a check that covered about 90% of the purchase price for this unit. I bought this unit right when the LED TV's were coming out but I never buy anything first generation because I like to wait for the bugs to be ironed out before I spend that much money. This unit had everything I was looking for. 52", 120Hz. Multiple HDMI inputs and I really like LG's TrueMotion. It does take a little getting used to but I think it adds to the experience. I wished I would have waited for the 240 Hz unit but based upon what was available at the time, I feel like I got a gem. It has a fantastic picture and really dark blacks. I was worried because I heard LCD's don't render blacks as richly as Plasmas. I haven't noticed any issues with that. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a exceptional TV for a fair price. LG 52LG70 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV

Exactly What I Was Looking For & No Relection!

This is exactly what I was looking for. My biggest concern is over reflections from various light sources. I have an open living room and a TV position that would reflect light from multiple rooms if anyone else was doing anything. This completely solved my reflections problem. Also, don't forget about reflections from the frame. You can't avoid piano-black frames since they are on nearly all TVs today. However there is a difference among them whether they are a dimmed black reflection from a true glossy black frame (like this one), or if they have a super shiny glossy clear coat of plastic on top, or worse yet clear plastic that extends beyond the edge of the black frame to catch and reflect light from the side and back. My TV is in front of a window and would enhance light from the window if I had the clear plastic frame edge of some newer TVs. So the frame has always been nearly as important to the TV to me. This one has both. I couldn't avoid glossy piano black unless I went with the cheapest ones, but this one came the closest. In actual use, I find the frame reflections are barely noticeable with many light sources in my room. Best yet, the picture is absolutely non-reflective in my open room. Some LCD screens partially reflect, but this one is the best. Someone can be in my kitchen or dining room with the lights on without bothering the picture in the living room at all!

Secondly, I needed a swivel stand & a very wide viewing angle due to a corner TV setup relative to 2 couches neither of which were really centered on the TV. I really want to be able to swivel the TV depending on if just one person watching or many guests, or pointing more towards an open area for Wii players to stand and play Wii. The swivel stand works great. It seems sturdy, holds its position, and it still easy to swivel. Regarding viewing angle, according to reviews, this doesn't have as good as a viewing angle. However I have found the angle to seem unlimited in my living room. Nobody has really noticed significant loss from sitting in the further seats. I still like to center it where I normally sit, but it really seems fine to me from nearly any of the seats. I bought this understanding it might not have as good of a viewing angle after deciding non-reflective was more important to me, but in use I am absolutley thrilled with the viewing angle.

I also didn't want to compromise on a very good picture, but I would personally take non-reflective any day over picture perfection. However I am thrilled with this picture too. As a general rule, you balance picture quality and reflectiveness. A super shiny picture shows through the detail & color best. I believe non-reflective qualities act to hinder the underlying picture a little. So that is why so many LCDs are getting more reflective. I believe this is offset by increasing brightness, and how far off center it stays crisp. I've already mentioned the viewing angle seems perfect to me, but note that professional reviews have commented on a lower viewing angle. But again, I think you have to choose the balance of non-reflectiveness vs angle vs how much to offset by LCD brightness.

It has plenty of inputs. The sound is standard for a TV, fine for most TV shows, but movies are better with a nice surround sound system instead.

A few minor negatives is that switching between screen modes (4:3, wide, zoom1, zoom2) requires you to press the Quick-Menu button, then right-left on picture mode, then return. My Vizio TV has a picture mode button and is easier. Also, the volume setting applies across all inputs. It does not automatically remember and change depending on input. So when I switch to HDMI input to watch a DVD, I have to turn the volume down on the TV since I use my sound system. My Vizio TV remembers the sound level for each input which is nice. So I can go back to TV watching on my Vizio after a DVD and sound is back on at the normal level. Same for video games. So the Vizio TV modes are easier to use than the LG, but these are only minor to me. I just didn't realize how nice they were on my Vizio until I got a TV without them.

This is a steal! I Paid 3 G's for mine when it came out

I love this tv its my prized possession. The picture is great, its the best tv to game on. I never have motion blur i think i saw it like twice watching a movie made in the 80's. The sound is not the best and that is the only thing i dont like about it, it is loud but the quality is lacking within the hidden speakers. The tv looks amazing any time anyone comes over they will definitely have something to say about the tv without a doubt. Its a head turner. I have had no problems with this tv and i have owned it for about 2 in a half years. So you know your money isnt going to waste. If you are having doubts about this purchase dont i paid $3,000 for this tv when it came out so for it to be less than 2G's thats incredible. I do wish it was 3d capable, but its not the newest most expensive tv on the market anymore, but at one point in time not to long ago it was the Tv of Tv's and still is high up there. I love this tv i really really do, and if you get it you will to.
