The LG70 series are the ideal HDTVs for home theater enthusiasts. If they prove one thing, it’s that nobody demands more from LG products than LG itself.

4 Stars New 42LG70 42-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD Review
I purchased the LG 42″, 1080p, 120Hz, TV locally in January and hooked it up myself. The setup was easy and the picture quality was average to poor due to my having the standard Direct-TV service. I ordered the Direct TV HD upgrade receiver and their technicion installed it two days after I ordered and was he was very good/knowledgeable. The HD channels on my new LG looked perfect in color and clarity. This is the way TV should be. One problem with Direct TV in Central Virginia is they do not give you the local channels in HD. So after all my efforts, I had to watch this years Superbowl on Fox in standard digital and the picture was poor. I contacted Direct TV and they said the local channels in my area were not available in HD even thought we can see the HD symbol on all of them. I contacted the local channels and they said Direct TV refuses to connect to their HD signal. This must be some kind of finacial decision where Direct TV deems our market not worthy of the investment but they claim that 88% of their customers get local channels in HD. I asked Direct TV why we were being charged the same as their customers getting local HD when we did not. They did not reply. The solution here is to buy an outdoor HDTV antenna. I just installed mine this weekend and I now get all local channels in HD along with 20 other “FREE” channels. The cable and satelite companies are gouging us with high prices and package deals that encourage you to spend more. If our TV stations continue to add HD free service, the cable/satelite companies may find themselve without customers. I gave the 42LG70 a rating of 4 due to the internal speakers causing vibration and ratling in surround mode.

5 Stars Very pleased with this tv
I did a lot of research before deciding on this model. It was easy to set up and looked great right out of the box. I have since fined tuned the color settings. We’ve had it for 3 months now and very pleased with it. I especially like the ability to choose different color schemes for different types of programing with just one button on the remote. I also like the fact that standard definition programing looks better on this tv than on others I’ve seen. I can’t speak for the sound as I have it connected to a surround sound system.

5 Stars Trully Fantastic Pic and good sound too!
I bought this set a month ago from Fry’s in CA. It was on sale for $949 and with tax beat all on-line retailers. I did the research and viewed the screens in stores. I live in a small RV and am limited on space and have lots of window light. The Panasonic plasma was my 1st choice but the plasma is a fragile set as you can not lay them down, they aren’t supposed to travel over 5,000′ in elevation and I was also concerned with vibration. So I was considering the Sony 40″ and the Samsung 40″ but the reviews and specs of the LG along with the 2″ of gained viewing space with a fine matte screen attracted me. I also saw the LG 42″ in several 4 and 5 star hotels! They prefer LG because of reliability. I have been watching my old VHS movies from a Sony dual player directly connected to the LG via 3 wire component harness. LG sound is very good! I have read many complaints about the LCD sets having poor sound, well the LG is great! Also I have a Sony 1080i upscale DVD player to watch my standard DVD movies. They look great on this set. Yesterday I installed my new Sony S-350 Blu Ray player and watched “The Dark Knight.” WOW. It is like better than the theater! I could not believe it, even the sound is terrific. Tonight I want to watch a standard DVD movie because this player up scales to 1080P and the reviews indicate standard movies will look as good as a blu ray. I will check this out! Believe me when I tell you there is NOTHING out there that beats the 42LG70′s performance with an excellent matte screen with no reflection! By the way, I am using CAT-2 HDMI cables from the Blu Ray player to the Denon Receiver and from there to the LG. From AMZN seller for under $10 each and that allows 100% transfer of all Blu Ray transfer data! Too Cool!

5 Stars LG 42LG70 42″
Great product and came ready to use. The delivery people even set it up for me. It has all the connections you need for all the peripheral equipment.

5 Stars My Window!!!!
This TV is UNREAL, I watch a movie and it looks like im looking over the director’s shoulder. Everyone that stops by is impressed. The only thing that would limit your entertainment experience is the supporting equipment. The TV is Awesome. It looks sharp, it displays nicely, and is affordable. The only cons I had with the TV is the sound wasn’t too loud by the tv itself, but hooked up with a surround system and it is amazing. We are very very very happy with this TV.
