Best TV ever!

Got this tv 10 YEARS AGO. It has been ran everyday without issue. It finally has the tiniest of whitening on a small spot of the screen. This thing even survived a house fire and a cross country move. I'm about to buy a new LG after this champion finally gives.

Great...for awhile

Bought this model TV in March 2015 and purchased the 3 year warranty plan. Of course, now that manufacturer and extended warranties have expired just this year, I am having the LED diffuser problem. Three white circles in a row right down middle of screen. Was told by one TV repair guy that LG uses inferior glue to hold the diffuser on knows there is an issue. Wish I had known this before purchasing. Can't afford to fix, can't afford new TV.

At the beginin it was great, now after 2 years. No

It has very good features for the price in his moment. But after 2 years, the Led Lens start to fall (5 blank dots in screen) Netflix doesnt work (I find a work arround, launching from my Android Phone connected to the same Network) The internet navigation, its too slow now and many movie pages doesnt work. If you want a tv for more than 2 years, this is not the best option.

If I could give a ZERO...I would!

Blinks 3 times and nothing! After researching issues online there are tons of failures with these TVs! Lg should do something because this is outrageous! I will never buy another LG product again!

Clarity and Color is good but it is not crystal.

Clarity and Color is good but it is not crystal clear. I have had problems with the intermittent power on and off of TV Model 42LD450. I have issues something on the sound cause it wobbles when it is loud. Overall it is fine.

Good only for short time

This tv has a great picture, but after 3 years the picture is gone. Started with some occasional flashing circles for a few weeks and now no picture at all. The sound works. Assume it's backlight or a board, but not really worth repairing. Should last longer than 3 years. Probably won't buy another LG.

very disappointed.

I bought this LG tv about 2 years ago and now that the warranty has expired, I have started to have problems with the screen. When I turn on the tv, there are now 4 vertical white lights illuminated in the middle of my screen. It is very annoying when trying to watch something. So very disappointed in this LG product.

Large White Dots on the Screen

I have a 42" LG TV Model 42LB5600 that is 2 1/2 years old and is beginning to lose it's LED Diffusers (problem researched on-line. First three white dots appeared on the screen, then a few days later four more appeared, then several weeks later three more appeared. These are in three columns, three each in the first two columns, and four in the third (looking from right to left on the screen). Will only replace with another LG if they can verify that they have improved the attachment method of the LED Diffusers.

Feeling unlucky

I bought this model in December 2014, a bit disappointed LG because just two and half years this tv have screen problem without physical damage. Is that very normal for LG product quality nowadays?

Flashing screen

I have had this tv for 2 years and the screen flashes and then goes black still have sound. I see your tv's have a lot of issues with this and its ridiculous for what we pay for a flat screen and it only last a year or 2. i would rather buy tv's like we ussed to have cause at least they last a long time. Some of us can not afford to keep replacing our tv's. You should recall them and fix them for us beings there is such a problem with your tv's.

Great little tv for the bedroom.

TV has worked well, and fits perfectly in our armoir in our bedroom. Good picture, but as with many flat screens, the sound isn't that good. Still fine for late in the evening after the kids are in bed.

Love it!

I bought this in the summer of 2014 and it's almost 14 months old and I have experienced no problem with this TV, especially when I've traveled back forth from my university to my home. I love the picture and the way it displays HD. It was a good TV for a great price!

Lasted Only 14 Months

I purchased the 42" screen LG August of 2014. The TV was not installed until mid October because the room were it was to be used was under construction. The past several weeks the TV turned off by it self and at times the picture would be distorted. Today it turned of and will not go back on. Since it has a warranty of 1 year from purchase I am out a TV. I have had TV's for well over 20 years with no problems. Only to replace them because of style and convenience. Now I am not sure if I will purchase another LG product since my experience with this TV has been unsatisfactory.

Very happy. Great Telly

We finally got around to upgrading the old bulky TV. Amzing difference. Picture is very clear, great sound. It was very easy to setup. My one minor gripe is that we only watch the apps so there are no channels tuned in so it a static screen whenever we turn the tv on. It would be awesome to turn on and go straight to the app screen. Was excited to see the optioon for a Skype feature. Thinking of grabbing the camera in the future.

All Around Great Buy

Really like the picture quality of this TV. Set up was easy, but I did not connect to Wifi, instead connecting directly to my router. Love the features, the sound, the look and the price! The only downside is the poorly designed remote. It works, but not without having to look at the buttons unlike my Directv remote that you can use with your eyes closed.

Good TV

This TV has a nice picture and it works well with a computer using the HDMI. I will probably never use the joystick feature, and it only has two HDMI plugins, plus you need to use the computer screensaver to protect the screen, but this TV has worked well even with displaying documents. Many TVs do not display the letters in a document well when used with a computer, but this one does. The sound is good. This is a really good TV for the price (I got it at a really good price).

Easy and Excellent

We wanted a bigger television and it had been a while since we purchased one. We had a heavy, state-of-the-current-art LCD television that weighed a ton and wasn't as clear as we wanted. We also had a space problem, so this is the largest TV we can fit. We were thrilled with how easy this TV was to set up, how light it is, how bright and clear the picture, and how easy the controls are to use. For non-technical people, this was a snap. And, it was reviewed favorably on several sites. We love our LG TV!

exceptionally clear picture

We have been VERY impressed with the picture quality of this TV. Old Perry Mason episodes almost look like real life! Set up was fairly easy, although we have not yet been able to get our TV connected to our WiFi, unfortunately. Overall, we have been very pleased with this device.

Great Picture and package size - very lightweight

By PalomarParkman

What a great picture for the $. I like that the picture size is almost to the edge of the frame. Looks fantastic mounted to the wall. Weighs only 22lbs. The only downside is the placement of the connections on the back. It was very difficult to find a 400x400 VESA wall mount that would not block access to the power and HDMI cables. Also, the red led that indicates glows when the TV is OFF is a little annoying as it is too bright. I wish there was a way to disable it. Otherwise it is a great s...
