Best in it's category

(4 out of 5) by M. on Apr 10, 2009 (CenCal USA)
Let's get the bad part over with first. The only complaint I have about this TV is the sound. It goes from 0-100, but there is virtually no difference once you get past about 55. It's fine at night, but I have to use my surround sound system in the day. This is by no means a deal-breaker though, since poor sound is a problem with just about every flat panel TV no matter how much you spend.
I bought this TV for three reasons. First and foremost: picture quality. In it's category the 37LG60 is unsurpassed, as far as LCD TVs go. I did three months of research before making this purchase. Of all the LCD TVs I looked at this one had the best stats. It has 120 Hz Trumotion. Sharp, Samsung, and Sony TV's of the same size only had 60 Hz. Sharp has a 37" TV with 120 Hz, but it cost $200 more, and had lots of bad reviews. The dynamic contrast ratio is 50,000:1. The best of the other brands was 30,000:1. At 2.7 ms the refresh rate is twice as fast as its competitors. It has four HDMI ports while most others only have as many as three, some only two. What made this TV even more enticing was the price. At $899 it was comparable if not cheaper than all the sets in its category. This is my first HDTV but I know a quality picture
when I see one. A friend has a 40" Sony S-series and he likes my picture better. He also paid about $500 more than I did. Unfortunately I didn't see many of this model available, but if you can find one buy it. This is the best 37" 1080p LCD TV on the market. I hear there is a 61 series coming out, but I'm sure it will be more expensive, although probably well worth it.
I've had it for about a month and have had no problems. I will update in a couple of months.

Best HDTV Ever!!!

(5 out of 5) by Jonathan A. Hannold on Apr 3, 2009
This is the best TV i have ever owned bar none,first off it's 1080p with 120 hertz refresh rate and 2.7ms response. I use it mainly for my PS3 for Blu-Ray and games both look freaking amazing with an HDMI cable ,and whatever you've read about the 120 hertz refresh it really does make a difference when playing COD 4,Bioshock,or any fast paced game absolutely no lag of streaking and there's no lag in the controls either. only thing you need to buy for this TV is an HDMI cable and a surround sound system because the speakers suck thats the only draw back. so if your a hardcore gamer or a movie buff this is the TV for you.

INCREDIBLE TV!!!!!!!!

You can't go wrong with this TV. I had my eye on it when I found out CompUSA/Tiger Direct had it for $899. Well, in February they had a 2 day sale over a weekend and dropped the price to $699. I didn't think twice. Bought it on the spot. This TV ranks right up there with my Samsung. I have to admit that I am a Samsung snob when it comes to TVs but this thing is awesome.

Great HDTV for the price!

After trying to decide on which size television would best fit our entertainment center, I am glad I settled on this one. Initially I leaned toward a JVC 42" HDTV at Sams club. The physical size would have been tight in the Ent. Center we have. JVC didn't offer a 40" set so I looked at the LG brand. I am seeing them on many news broadcast stations in our area used as monitors at the various stations. Also we have several of them at my place of work. We had an AKAI which didn't last long. Also at our local hospital they have them throughout the different waiting areas. After reading the reviews and specs. I decided to go with the 37" LG. The one thing that was impressive was the high contrast ratio for the price. I have had the set for a little over a month and I enjoy the picture quality. The Standard broadcast channels do no justice to the set and I only prefer to watch the HD channels. Cons of this set are the sound. The internal speakers are not of that great of quality. I would like to hook it up to our Receiver but it only has inputs for analog signals. The LG set has digital audio outputs. Therefore you are forced to invest in a surround sound system with digital inputs. That I will probably do later. Right now I am looking for a good quality and priced blueray player. Overall it is a good set for the money and I would recommend it to anyone looking to buy a new HDTV. I researched Consumer reports first and looked at both quality and dependability. The Samsung sets were rated high for picture quality but had a high rate of service calls for repairs. The JVC set had a much lower rate for service problems. After owning a 32" JVC set that is 6 years old and having good luck with it that is why I leaned toward a JVC brand. My living room is 15' x 24' and the 37" set is just fine for viewing in our house. Personally I try to always buy American made products but, there aren't many sets manufactured here. Some are assembled here but not many.

LG 37LG60 37" with 120Hz

I bought this LG Scarlet TV from Amazon (through Tiger Direct) for $899 with FREE shipping on a Wednesday afternoon and it was delivered by Monday afternoon!!! It was double boxed so everything was safe and secure. It was super easy to set-up (and I'm not one for doing that type of thing) and the picture is FREAKING AMAZING!! The TV has many options for customizing your viewing experience! I love the red back and accents on the stand, as it goes wonderfully in my red and black living room. Make sure you don't forget the HDMI cables! I'm not noticing any problem with the sound, as I have read in other reviews of this product. This is a great tv at a wonderful price and I am SUPER happy with my decision.
