LG Televisions
Discussion
Hello,
Just wanted to know what people's thoughts were on LG products. Spec for spec they seem to offer more for the money than Panasonics and also seem to get pretty good reviews. Specifically I am interested in the 50PX990. I have always seen them as a tier 2 manufacturer but perhaps this is changing. Anyone got any experience good or bad ?

Most of the magazine reviews I've translated about LG TVs say that they're a decent quality option for people looking to spend a bit less. I can't remember specific details on any one model, but the reviews I've seen do make the point that they offer quality which isn't top-level, but it's getting there, and as such they offer good value for money given that they're not the most expensive on the market.
I don't own one though, so I can't say for sure how much of that is true. I'm just telling you what I've seen in reviews.

That more or less aligns with what I was thinking thank you. Which Magazines are decent for getting up to speed on home cinema matters ? I have not found a decent review site online.I don't own one though, so I can't say for sure how much of that is true. I'm just telling you what I've seen in reviews.

Most of the ones I've seen have been Swedish or German magazines, sorry. You could try this site:http://lgtvreviews.co.uk/

The best 50" tv by a vast acreage is the Panny 50VT20.
Sufficient of calibre to replace a Pioneer 5090.
The end.
That is the one I am leaning towards. However specifically what makes you say that ? Sufficient of calibre to replace a Pioneer 5090.
The end.
Black levelling (that doesn't obfuscate detail,) associated contrast ratio and consequent colour fidelity that is on another planet whilst motion processing is (cet par) the least invasive since the dawn of man.
A better illustration of subjective analysis trumping on paper box ticking you will rarely find.

I bought an LG 42LE4900.....led TV last Saturday
I took it back on Sunday... It was terrible...dark, flat, and no contrast or definition in the picture... My old Phillips LCD would knock spots off it.
The wife and I spent all evening, trying to get a half decent picture on the LG.... But it was impossible... Nothing we did made it better.....all it did was make it different, but still crap....
Swapped it for a Samsung, which is due tomorrow..... I'm hoping for a big improvement at nearly twice the price of the LG

into this maybe
I have an LG 37" LCD purchased from our good friend Der above a few years ago. I cant fault the set. When I asked for advice I was told the LG and Samsung used the same display panels but different internals and the LG appeared less in the returns department.
When I make the move to a bigger screen for 3D and if an LG model looks right at the time I wont hesitate to buy another.

Another vote for LG here. Can't fault it, well made quality set with very small side bezels - something that put my off the Panny (my last G20 had huge bezels). Can't notice any concernable picture difference either, cetainly no loss that I can see. Bought the LG just for gaming on but now have moved the Panny out because the LG actually looks better due to be small bezels. Early days but so far so good and will buy another for the guest room.

I was told the same about Samsung and Sony :/ When I make the move to a bigger screen for 3D and if an LG model looks right at the time I wont hesitate to buy another.
Either way I have had my Samsung for 3 or 4yrs now and it has been faultless. No issue with buy LG either (I am looking at an LG HD Monitor for my PC)
