This review is from: LG 42" 1080p 120hz LCD HDTV w/ Super Slim 1.8" - 42LGX

Pros:

Regardless of low review points, I ordered because I trusted the brand name. And yes I made a right decision.
I read that some users complained about the invisible speakers. This speaker system is tuned by the audio legend, Mark Levinson,. One audio expert reviews “This unique system provides a clean, polished look and an enhanced auditory experience by increasing the "sweet spot," providing a wider field of sound”. Another says “The result is speakers that sound more lifelike and inviting than before”. To be honest with you, I do not feel any big superbness on the system, but obviously voice is very clear
When I watch a Blue Ray movie with TrueMotion on, I feel that the people in the movie moves right front of you out of the TV. I agree the reviews from some who talked about feeling dizziness. The more often I watch it, the more I get used.
The 120Hz drives & 4ms exceptionally great quality of picture, especially fast moving scenes such as sports. I don’t observe any blur or artifa

Cons:

The navigation keypads are most often used. They are on the upper part in the remote which is very hard to use by one hand together with volumes and channels that are located relatively bottom.

The remote for my Samsung TV has those keys next each other so that you can control most features by one hand easily.

Overall Review:

I am an electrical engineer; very friendly with most new IT, and high tech devices. However, I am stupid in color and graphical designs. My wife is bad in high tech, but special for designs. She did not care of what 120Hz, TruMotion, or 1080p was. She loved wine colored back panel, black front panel, and platinum silver base on the TV because it gives elegant looking.

After my three years old boy came back from his day care, he asked us “why did you buy a new TV?” rather saying “Wow”. He might have not admired the TV for a while until yesterday. I bought a LG BD370 Blue Ray player that is capable to stream online videos such as Youtube , Cinemanow, and Netflix. It was hooked up with the TV. My son can watch his favorite Donald Duck and Chip and Dale from Youtube through the big screen TV. Now, he does not occupy my computer any more.
