(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. Others said smaller than 40" - you can't tell the difference. 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. I knew it would behoove me (financially) to choose the 720p model. 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 complicated

In 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. Supposedly you won't be able to tell the difference either way. AND YOU'LL BENEFIT FROM IT FINANCIALLY.

Great bedroom TV - Randal Thompson - Pueblo, CO
This is great bedroom TV. I have had this TV for over a year and I have not had any trouble with it. The setup was very easy. The remote is great. I have a DVD player and a WDTV connected to it and they both work great with this TV. You won't go wrong with this....

a solid choice but.... - M - Somersworth, NH United States
I will say that I think this is a great TV for the price. It has a lot of nice options and the HD looks great. 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. 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.

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. 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.

Overall the money saved in getting this model balances things out. 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.
