This is our second LG t.v. and just couldn't be any happier. Hard to beat LG for the quality and price. We used to be big Sony fans but in the future I think LG will be the brand we select.

Internal sound makes Katie Couric sound like a Klingon with a scratchy throat. More distortion than sound at any level. Does not really work on antenna. Can always use as a computer monitor I guess, or a doorstop.

As a recent retiree travel trailering across the US, I bought this tv in Chattanooga at HH Gregg on Black Friday, as an in-store, unadvertised, NIB special for $399! It has an amazingly clear picture, and the colors are brilliant. The blacks are BLACK. I have only used it thus far to receive both analog and digital, including HD, over-the-air signals with rabbit ears and find it to be very satisfactory. The sound leaves a bit to be desired, but with such small in-set speakers that is to be expected. When I connect my small Altec Lansing computer speakers with separate subwoofer, the sound is awesome. All in all, a great product, especially at the price.............

Very happy with my decision on the LG 26LG30 - excellent picture and great tuner! I have Comcast as my service provider and I don't use a converter box and this TV's tuner is able to display the HD broadcasts of the local TV stations right from the cable coming out of the wall! I used a Peerless Universal mount (not recommended for this particular model, but that's a whole other story) and ran the wires up through the wall for a nice clean install in a master bedroom. Totally recommend this TV - great value for the price. I looked at everything in the 26" category and by dropping down to a lesser priced product from another manufacturer, the difference in the picture quality was very clear - this one is WORTH paying a little more for without going for a higher end model. Best way to buy a TV is go look at them in the big box stores and then go buy on line - I ended up paying a lot less.

I guess that's the name behind LG.....not very asian....although made by the upstart Koreans... assembled in China like everything else. Easy to set up out of the box...no surprises. Comes with a CD that explains the details of editing the TV....but, I was able to figure out most of the basics from the on screen prompts and the remote. Well designed HDTV with a good sound system and swivel base. Good value, and I did not see significant peripheral problems. The base actually has a shoulder to it, and is not flat as depicted. I was not ready for the 80 some stations I got on an antenna....compared to a dozen on my old CRT. Why pay for cable?
