Sick about LG 42LH20

GREAT TV. The picture is more real than real. . The fist program we watched was a Discovery program in Alaska. AWSOME! I’m ordering another TV for our kitchen I like LG 42LH20 .
Lots of extras for the money…. I’ve had this set for about a week, and so far I’m very pleased. I got LG 42LH20 at a local department store for a price competitive with some of the third tier brands such as Olevia, Vizio and Polaroid. (I consider LG to be a second tier brand - not as well known or as popular as Samsung, Sony or Panasonic, but with a longer history and track record than the third tier brands.) The picture is outstanding with good color rendition and great black level. The setup offers a lot of opportunity to adjust the color level, and LG 42LH20 remembers the color adjustments separately for each input on the set. This is important because the proper color adjustment for the picture can vary widely depending on the source. The remote and controls are fairly easy to understand, and I was able to program my Dish Network remote to operate the basic functions of the TV, including Power, Volume, and input source. Speaking of input source, this set has another great feature: like many TV’s, the remote has a single button that toggles through the various inputs. But this is the first TV I’ve used that ignors any unused inputs - so you don’t have to toggle through a lot of black screens just to get to the three inputs you are really using. LG 42LH20 also has a really cool feature called “Media Host.” The TV has a USB port on the side that allows you to plug in a flash drive. If you load a flash drive with pictures and MP3 music files, you can then select individual pictures to display on the TV, or set LG 42LH20 to display all of the pictures as a slide show. LG 42LH20 will also play your MP3 music files. You can even setup a music play list to play at the same time your slide show is running! (And my digital pictures look much better on this screen than they did on my computer screen.)
I have also tried connecting an antenna to the TV. LG 42LH20 does a good job of picking up my local digital TV stations off air, and the picture looks great.
Finally, this set has 3 HDMI inputs, and 2 Component inputs - which is much better than many bargain priced sets. The only downside is that most of the inputs face the back of the set - which could make wall mounting more difficult.
Overall this is a very good TV for the money.
Blown Away. Sorry about the guy’s who broke down. Stuff happens. From what I can see this is an amazing set. The contrast ratio is insane and the low 6ms refresh rate make the xbox 360 and wii I have hooked up to LG 42LH20 look amazing. Just make sure you set the respective machines to widescreen and HD (wii does 480p). The 3 HDMI inputs are excellent and also 2 component. The finish is fantastic too. This LG also has an amazing viewing angle that really plagued earier LCD’s. You can actually see the screen perfectly at virtually a 180 degree angle. Great thing that I like LCD’s over plasma is they are super light and don’t run hot. Its also an Energy Star set.
