Displays HDTV programs in full 1920 x 1080p resolution for a more detailed picture. True 178º viewing angle with consistent contrast and color - even while viewing at the most extreme angles. Super IPS Technology reduces common distortion and blurring caused by fast motion video and also provides one of the industry's widest viewing angles. LG Simplink allows for convenient control of other LG SimpLink products using the existing HDMI connection. Experience your digital music (MP3) and photo (JPEG) library with USB Media Host. Six distinct processes contribute to picture improvement. LG's XD Engine takes the low resolution of analog signals to near HD levels by improving brightness, contrast, detail and enhancing color as well as reducing signal noise. This total solution results in cinema-like high resolution images.

    Pros: Sleek design, and a great value.

    Cons: Not the blackest blacks but pretty darn close.

    I bought the LG 42LB5D from my local Circuit City and absolutely love it. For the price you get exactly what you need. 1080p, 3 HDMI inputs, and a polished black frame. I compared the picture of the LG versus the Sony and the Toshiba on either side o...f it and the Samsung. The LG had a deeper black than the Toshiba but not as deep as the Sony, and it was pretty comparable to the Samsung. What kept me from getting the others was the price diffrence. The LG was the same as the Toshiba and 200 less than the Sony and Samsung in the comparable size. It had the same or more HDMI inputs as the others and a 5 ms refresh rate. Next up was the overall appearance of the design. It looks really good with its shiny black frame and a single strip of metal across the speaker. Compared to the LG the Sony and the Toshiba looked pretty plain. The Samsung on the other hand was a bit more shiner, but that not what to look for in a TV. The speakers that come attached are average (to enjoy the full HD experience you really should get a surround sound system). I didnt have any problems setting up the TV so I didnt have to call LG. The only real complaint I have is the packaging. Pretty basic protection for the TV. A styrofoam block at each corner and that it. So be very carefull when handling the box. Overall a great purchase and looking forward to enjoing it long time. No regrets and whould buy again. Read more Less

    Pros: Looks, features ,pictures,price

    Cons: none so far

    After looking everywhere in Reno for an LCD Tv,I ended up at Sears. I didn't think that I wanted to pay the price for a 1080P LCD. The LG is rated very good on most all categories. This is my first purchase of a HD tv. I looked at some of the les...s expensive units that were offered. This LG has all the features and performance that you could want. I paid $1042w/ tax at Sear. That's about the same as I would have paid for a 720P in another brand. Check out this LG. you'll be happy with it Read more Less
