I was debating between this and similar Panasonic TV for a while, but ended up choosing the LG. A couple weeks later, the price of the Panasonic went down, but I stuck with this set. The speakers being at the bottom of the TV is not an ideal situation. The picture is not as amazing as on my smaller ViewSonic 32-inch TV, but it works well as an HDTV. The QAM tuner is nice feature. SDTV doesn't look as bad on this TV as it does on lot others I have seen.

Great TV. Great picture. Looks just ask good as 1080. Can't tell the difference.
Looks great on dvd with upconverted box.
Great TV for the money.

We bought this TV about a month ago for $749. We have only owned Sony or Toshiba so we weren't sure what to expect from LG. Well, we didn't need to worry! The TV is great. It is very user friendly - switching between TV and DVD player is very simple. The picture itself is great! We have not had to make any changes to the factory settings. We have no problems seeing the picture even from extreme side angles. This TV is on our lanai so there is a lot of natural light but the picture never looks washed out. The sound is average but then again we are used to a Bose surround sound system with our TV in the family room. We would recommend this LG to anyone who is looking for a good quality TV at a reasonable price.
