For its time this was a very good TV, and picture quality wise it probably still is, however it uses a lot of power, maybe 0.5KW depending upon settings, with much of that power going out as heat. This has 2 implications. Over a year, with say 3 hours per day viewing, or (for easy maths) 1000hrs per year, that's 500kWhrs, which at 15p per kWhr is £75 per year running cost. Compared with a latest LED with 1/10th of the power draw, that's a difference of nearly £70 per year in cost of Electricity to run. Secondly, the heat means certain electrical components run hot. which means they're more liable to failure, and they do fail. I know, I changed boards twice because certain components overheated and failed. But if you can get it cheap in the first place, then maybe the downside high running cost and risk of failure are worth taking.Read full review

No dislikes really..looked around and read reviews b4 i bought.Had been looking on and off for a year..lol...mrs wasnt having it...as old tv was working fine...but hey when i bought it and had it on...the mrs smiled and agreed it looked really nice...complementing the room...Was impressed with TV..picture is great and sharp...PS3 blu ray and games works wonders,...i have added surround sound,but must admit TV sound on its own was good, as i had read reviews that the sound was poor...not true.Remote is simple and effective..Only contendor was panasonic viera..but this i think is betta.Watching HD is sharp and TV adjusts auto to the light settings depending on your room...thats cool.It really is a 5 star TV...would highly recommend..im no LG fan..trust me..but respect is due where its due...hats off to LG on this TV !!Read full review
This was my first big flat screen TV. Initially it performed very well: great picture, good sound - what's not to like. However, after 18 months it had burned through a daughter board requiring a ~£200 fix. Then after a further 13 months the same board had gone again. I punted it for £90 bucks as spares or repairs. Both the retailer (Laskys) and LG were utterly dreadful in their correspondence regarding the faults - apparently 18 months is an respectable age for a TV. I for one, will never buy a LG TV, never-mind anything from that Lasky's mob.
