 Finally gave up 18 year old CRT television December 28, 2008
I recently bought the 42LG70 and am impressed. I had been following the Sony and Samsung and was about to go Sony, but took a closer look at the LG.It certainly had more features and the picture quality seemed to stand out. Price was right as well. I bought a $65.00 upgrading DVD player and use component wiring and get an amazing picture. I don't have an HDMI/1080p receiver (yet), so the picture is grainy via regular TV programming, depending on the channel and type of program (my wife pointed this out to me the first day I plugged it in.).
We did watch "Leatherheads" on Video on Demand last night via our cable service and I was impressed with the picture quality again. This is through the simple yellow video cable from a 18 y/o Pioneer reeiver! Movie was unfortunately 'modified to fit the screen' via Bresnan cable -D'Ho!
So far, very happy with this unit!

Picture quality in HD not what I expected: fair amount of blurring when watching a football game for example- my neighbor's Sony is crystal clear at same time (same cable service). Regular programing seems to come in fine. Color, brightness, etc. is excellent.

This was my first LCD TV that I purchased on my own, but I have many friends with other LCD TVs and my parents own their own. I have compared them all, and w/o spending 3k or 4k on a super high end TV, this is an excellent purchase. This is by no means at the low end of the spectrum, and it's color intensity and smoothness is unparalleled in its class. The TruMotion 120Hz is definitely amazing, but personally I don't think it should be used for live-action movies such as batman, spiderman, pirates, etc. For all digital movies, animated movies (wall-E, etc), TV and sports, I think the TruMotion is ideal.
Either way, you can turn it on/off, so it's no big issue. I haven't found any dead pixels, and amazon sent it straight to my house earlier than expected. However, when watching blu ray movies, the sound must be cranked up way high, unless you have a sound system. (small issue)
Long story short, if you are in the market for a mid-economy LCD purchase, this is w/o a doubt, the ideal solution. Latest in technology, excellent picture performance.
Shipped fast..So far so good! December 12, 2008

I looked around and researched alot when trying to find a good 40"+ LCD.Was looking into Samsung and Sony..Both had to many faults and just a little too much..This LG was decent price for a very good picture and Television.Looks just as good as other great brands.
I was not sure about buying this from amazon but for the price difference i thought it was well worth the wait and nerves.Ceva Logistics shipped this In very quick fashion.Was shipped on Dec 4th from Penn.Made it to San Antonio,TX on Dec 10th.They called and set up a delivery the day before,then two guys delivered it only said they were there to make sure it turns on and i set everything up myself...Not Bad though, You need a screw driver to put together the tv stand,other than that its just
1. Put stand together, eight screws in total,(Very easy).
2.Plug in and turn it on, You're Ready to watch!(Fantastic)
3. Maybe change some of the video settings.
I'm watching and loving this LCD as I type this.. I had a tight tight budget for my new LCD, this is very very good LCD for the decent price.
The truemotion 120Hz feature is good for Games and Sports,Keep off if you watch regular shows.However I would like to have quicker access to this feature through a button on the remote,it can get old going through a very nicely made menu.The menu is smooth and easy to follow,very visual...The remote is thin and doesn't have tons of buttons or any stupid wheels...
ALL in ALL TV is great, Picture is excellent, Price is Excellent,Set up is Easy,and hope i dont have to tell you how customer support is.
Not a Tv to pass on for any reason i was going into a samsung but then saw this one and changed my mind very quickly.
I would recommend this to anyone.
Shipping was scary but it got here fine and im happy.
Amazon has been easy to deal with now i see if my service plan is coming.

I couldn't have imagined how awesome this TV was until it arrived.
I'm a very educated shopper, and I know my specs, and this TV totally satisfies in every aspect.
I especially like the red accent along the edge of it and the translucent bottom. Not quite evident in the stock pics, but very beautiful. The sound was impressive also, better then i expected given the unique nature of the speakers in this set.
bravo, all around.
