Overall the money saved in getting this model balances things out. You can turn the volume to 100% and still miss dialogue even with the clear voice option on (and yes I've had my hearing checked, its fine).Maybe I'm being picky but I have a Samsung 40" and the sound on that tv is great nothing more needed.
It has a lot of nice options and the HD looks great. I will say that I think this is a great TV for the price.
The sound on a regular channel is okay but not great, once you get to an HD channel forget it, the sound bottoms right out. This LG would have gotten a solid 4 stars.The only drawback.
The sound is terrible (- 1 star), The internal speakers don't cut it. I will need to get a surround sound system for the LG to be able to enjoy it more and hear it when I'm more than 3 feet away.
I'm not too upset over having to get a surround sound system for it.Bottom line this TV is a solid purchase, just be prepared to sink some more money into some better sound.
Like so many others, I was pleasantly surprised that while looking only at the best "name brand" 32 and 37 inch LCDs I happened across an LG and found it to compare very favorably.I had committed to buying only Samsung, Sony or Sharp. LG changed all that.Great features, competitive price, and seemingly superior image quality tempted me,. but it was the comments on line regarding customer service that sold me.Well, I love this TV, it's been a dream, however after 9 months I had reason to need LG's customer service.The TV has intermittently stopped responding to the remote controls.I found my manual and called LG, I was speaking to Scott in customer service after the shortest most sensible "phone menu" I have encountered.Scott was helpful and courteous.He scheduled a repair to come into my home the next day.Folks, this is important. You must consider this when buying.I can recommend this TV without reservation, but more so I can recommend LG as they will stand by the product and the customer if things go wrong.
I knew it would behoove me (financially) to choose the 720p model. Others said smaller than 40" - you can't tell the difference. (FYI: This review is written after seven months of use of TV)In my studying of which LCD TV to buy for myself (including options of sizing, brand names, etc)., one of the things I kept running across on different websites and forums was (when talking size) "When Does 1080p Become Irrelevant." Some said smaller than 42" - you can't tell the difference. And I am glad I did.-Aesthetically pleasing design-Truly fantastic picture quality-Brand name: LG-Remote control is simple and easy to use-The menu options are clean and not complicatedIn closing, do yourself a favor: if you're gonna buy an LCD TV that's (only for the sake of using a number) 40" or smaller, set your pride aside and choose a 720p model. Even though the inner me - the guy that desires the newest and bestest of what technology has to offer - wanted to choose a 1080p model. it didn't matter once I realized I was going with a 37" LCD TV. Supposedly you won't be able to tell the difference either way. AND YOU'LL BENEFIT FROM IT FINANCIALLY.
Great price and good Amazon service. LG TV arrived and performed as expected. This was a gift given to the wife's parents and they seem mroe than happy with this TV.
After comparing LCD TVs at several stores and reading internet reviews on many LCD manufactures within the same price range, screen size, and specs, I decided on the LG 37LG30 and ordered for the first time through Amazon.com. The LCD has a great picture, sound, and looks fantastic mounted on our bedroom wall. I was not disappointed. The TV was delivered within the estimated time frame undamaged. Because LCD's picture, sound, and cabinet looks are in the eyes of the buyer, take some time to view a variety of LCDs before buying. But for certain, put the LG 37LG30 on your list for consideration.
