Great HD has never been so easy
I've been researching 40-42" HD TVs for months looking for the ideal match for my needs that fit my budget of under $1000. I looked at plasmas 120Hz LCDs 40" 42" Sharp Sony Panasonic Samsung Vizio Westinghouse and LG.
I finally found it - on sale for almost two-hundred off (exactly eight-hundred-and-nine dollars). Would still be a great value at a thousand dollars.
I'd rather have too much control than too little with my electronics. The 42LH30 delivers all the control I want and more but it also provides several nice presets for the type of content I'm watching (movies sports games standard). It also lets me build 2 presets myself for exactly what I want. I can be picky or I can be lazy and still get a great picture for any situation.
The 50000 dynamic contract ratio and 5ms refresh speed make for a superb picture/performance combo.
I was very close to going with a 120Hz 42" Vizio. They have been getting decent reviews. When the LG 42lh30 went on sale it was a deal I could not refuse.
Some things I really like.
1) Outstanding picture (no compromises with colors)
2) Great performance (sports and movies don't judder at all so far)
3) Energy Star (several low power modes - I love flexibility)
4) Lighter than most (easy to hang on wall - I use an articulating arm)
5) Anti-glare awesomeness (I have lots of windows in my 3-seasons room)
6) Outstanding PC screen (when I just have to surf on the 42")
7) Upconverting DVDs look phenomenal (blu-ray player is next purchase)
8) Sound is more than acceptable on TV (I usually output audio to my Home Theater system if I will be watching for more than a few minutes)
Things I would change:
1) Only 3 HDMI ports (Fine for me now with cable box DVD player and PC)
2) I'd prefer a matte black bezel instead of a gloss finish
3) Maybe add an SD-card reader (my DVD player has SD and USB reader fortunately)More detail ...
