I was a little hesitant to buy this TV at first we were really comparing them to the Samsungs and I was surprised at how much more I like this TV. Samsung is a trusted brand in my home so that was the main reasoning. We got this TV at our local BestBuy it happened to be a display TV that they rotate every two months and sell the old one. You can buy the 4 year protection warranty through them and they fix it or replace it if need be. Which with that and our wall mount it came to about what you would pay to get it through Amazon. After getting it all mounted on the wall and watching my first complete Jazz game in HD I was not disapointed at all. The contrast ratio is amazing and it is just crystal clear. Unfortunately it couldn't make the Jazz play better but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Haven't played any video games on it yet but the plans are in motion to get a PS3 now that I have this. Can't beat it love the fact it has a lot of HDMI slots and one even to the side for easier plug in. My wife can't get over the power button which is kind of a cool little feature. I am not taking a second look at LG products in the future. Hate their phones but LOVE THEIR TVs!!!!

Got this off HSN with free shipping...easy to set up,beautiful picture, hdmi's made blu ray dvd and cable box set up a breeze. Remote works for tv and dvd easily. The blu-ray really popped the dvd..it's unbelievably sharp. No complaints. Compared it to the sonys and samsungs first. Very pleased with the 120hz and 50,000:1 contrast ratio for this price. You can adjust the sound and picture to the mode you want..cinema, sport, set by program, etc. And it has an automatic lighting adjustment in case you turn on a light, it will readjust the picture.

After waiting 2 weeks for its arrival you can only imagine my dismay when I took it out of its box, pluged it in to see a 1/4 inch wide grey strip running from top to bottom in the middle of the screen. Picture was great if only the stipe was not there. Needless to say, TV went back and the supplier does not have any more, so here I sit trying to decide on another brand of TV.

Great picture. We love our Samsung 50" plasma, but there is still a conversion problem with FIOS, which makes us lose connection, so we looked at other brands. LG is a great value for the money. The picture is comparable to the Samsung. The sound got a bad rap in many reviews I read, but I think it's just fine. We just listed through the internal speakers. Also considered the 42LG70 model. Almost exactly the same except the 70 is more $. One internet site referred to the 60 as an upgrade over the 70 so that made up our minds. I found later that the 70 has an extra audio output that I might have used. Set up was easy right out of the box except for the stand. If you're not going to mount it on the wall, the stand is a little tricky to assemble. Overall I would make the same purchase again.

I bought it through amazon. Really a very good price compared to SONY and Samsung. The Picture quality is great and HD is full and involving.
Also free voltage (100-240v) and rotating screen. Sounds like a trivial function, but a rotating screen is an important function if you would like to view the screen from various points in your house. And you have a hard time fiding a rotating table for this kind of TV. Overall, a very nice product with a very nice price.
