LG 42LV4400 42-Inch LED-LCD HDTV Reviews

Monday, December 19, 2011

The quality of the LED screen and TruMotion 120Hz refresh rate allow you to watch sports with realistic movement. Without interruption. That's what you get from LG LV440 HDTV.

- LG's LED technology provides a slim profile and delivers amazing brightness, clarity and color detail, as well as greater energy efficiency compared to conventional LCD TVs.

- TruMotion 120Hz technology lets you see sports, video games and high-speed action with virtually no motion blur

- Full HD 1080p gives it superior picture quality over standard HDTV. You'll see details and colors like never before.

The LG 42LV4400-UA was incredibly easy to set up. The picture is above average, though with high definition 1080p, most would notice only small differences in picture quality between different TVs. There is a little blurring when watching sports, which is common in my experience. The screen has a matte surface, which reduces glare. By comparison, my Samsung with a "glossy" screen displays a better television image, but also reflects almost like a mirror. The sound quality is average, maybe a little below a Visio with speakers on the front, and a little above a Samsung. Anyone who seriously cares about great sound will probably be connecting this TV to an alternative audio source. It can be set to automatically detect the aspect ratio being broadcast, so fewer programs have the image stretched or squished. There is also a parental lock feature.

The 42LV4400-UA comes with an owners manual and CD, remote control with two AA batteries included, a cleaning cloth, power cable, stand with screws, and one safety screw. The included stand allows the TV to swivel up to 20 degrees. Depending on your room setup, this can be helpful to further limit glare during certain times of day.

On the left side (if looking at the TV display) are two HDMI ports and one USB port and the television controls. On the bottom of the TV is the cable/antenna input, one additional HDMI port, DVI and audio ports for connecting a computer, component video inputs for audio and video (which can also be used as composite inputs), and an optical digital output.

On the downside, there is no Ethernet connection. This means the TV does not now and will not ever be able to display content from a home network or the Internet. It also will not be able to be updated or improved with firmware updates. If you're connecting this TV to a set-top box like Roku, or a Blu-ray player, you'll probably have access to Internet content through those devices anyway.

The LG 42LV4400-UA is a solid basic television that will meet the needs of most people. After considering the price of competing products and the features you need, you won't be disappointed with this TV.

So you'll be happy with 2D and can convert to 3D with ease. The LG LW5300 This also comes with LG 3D Blu-ray player, 3D glasses, and everything you needed for a three-dimensional world.

• TruMotion 120Hz technology lets you see sports, video games and high-speed action with virtually no motion blur. Full HD 1080p gives it superior picture quality over standard HDTV.

First off, I have had this tv for 2 days. Right after I ordered it, I started reading about input lag and other things. I'll be honest, it got me worried. I'm a regular gamer, and it is really what I got the TV. So when it first arrived, I set it up and put in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 .. Without changing any settings. I noticed that there was some input lag, and it was a little annoying .. but it was playable in my opinion.

So I turned off the Tru Motion by changing the picture setting to "Game". I really did not notice much of a difference. It improved by 20% maybe? That was when I was starting to get worried .. I did a little research and found a sneaky trick / fix. So far it worked great. (Knock on wood, I really love my TV in full now!) Below are step by step instructions.


1. On your remote, press the input button.
2. Then push the blue button on the bottom right hand corner of the remote. It says 3D settings but that's irrelevant right now.
3. This will open a window to change the name of the input.
4. Choose the PC name.

When you change the name of the input to PC, it turns off almost all of the image processing that comes with the HDMI input. So far, It has worked GREAT!

Setup was relatively painless. I haven't setup the 3D Bluray player yet, I'll update when I do. My first 3D experience was with Halo CE Anniversary. I must say... INCREDIBLE! I wasn't ready for things to really come out of the screen. I guess my expectations were a little low. But hey! It turned out to be a good thing!

The 2D to 3D is pretty sweet. I have found that it doesn't work great with everything. Sports, sitcoms and movies are pretty cool when up-converted. But talk shows and news isn't anything special. Of course, the LED and Tru Motion make everything silky smooth. Makes everything look almost fake, I personally like this.

When I opened the packs of 3D glasses, I was surprised, they weren't black, but white and orange! I kinda thought this was cool, you could call it a pleasant surprise.

I'll be updating this review as I use the TV more over the weekend. Really get into the nitty gritty of the settings. Please rate this review as helpful!

LG 47LW5300 Great 3D HDTV With 3D Blu-Ray Player and Four Glasses

Saturday, December 3, 2011

I bought this 3D HDTV on Black Friday, which means that I get it for a few days. I find it takes about 3-4 months between Plasma (I've used the Panasonic Plasma 720p 42-Inch from 2005) or on the LED. The apartment where I live there is quite a lot. Since there are multiple windows, doors and windows. So I thought about reflections will occur with the glass screen on plasma. However, I have found that the quality of a plasma screen quality is very good. When I look at CNET's list of best HDTV.'s Plasma to focus on more of the LED continues to be acclaimed "with black levels approaching that of plasmas.".

Finally, I decided to change this LED is to return it. If it is not good in my room. Room with a lot of glare. May cause problems in viewing. In fact, for a plasma screen for the better because it's like looking in a mirror reflection. It's easy to set picture, but I was able to set this LED without any problems. I still can not decide if I like the "soap opera" effect offer by Tru-Motion definitely want it on during sports.

A word about gaming: This TV is great for it! These other people on here complaining about it clearly didn't read some of the other reviews. You can change your input type to GAME or PC to eliminate the input lag. When I first turned on Modern Warfare 3 it was unplayable. I was terrified that I'd have to return it and get another plasma. But after I read the other guy's review on here and changed my input setting, all is solved! Here's what to do:

1. Change your TV to your gaming input (whatever HDMI or Component input you have your system hooked up to)

2. Press the input button again

3. Press the blue button at the bottom of the remore labeled "3D SETTING" (N/A in this situation)

4. Scroll through the menu and select PC or GAME (I use PC just because that's what the other guy recommended and can't tell if GAME is the same or not.)

This will eliminate all (or most) of the image processing that occurs within the TV and eliminate the lag between when you move your fingers on the controller and what happens on the screen. It will make the picture a tiny bit worse, but I'd rather be able to actually play my games than have them look a tiny bit better.

Concerning 3D: I didn't even want a TV with 3D. I looked at (and actually bought, long story) the 55LV4400, which doesn't have 3D. However, I read some things about the picture quality on that not being the equal of the LW series, so I went with this one. I've always hated 3D, even in theaters, but this TV has completely changed my mind. The 3D picture quality actually looks BETTER than 2D. I'm really glad I have it now. I haven't hooked up the 3D Blu-Ray player yet so I can't comment on its quality.

Bottom line: You won't regret buying this TV. If having a smart TV isn't importnat to you (or if you already have an Xbox 360, PS3 or Internet capable Blu-Ray player) and you want excellent picture quality (2D or 3D) in a bright room for around $1000, you can't go wrong here. I consider myself very technically savvy and I spend tons of time researching and reading before I make a big tech purchase. Save yourself the same time and headache and just get this TV.

Excellent passive 3D set

The passive 3-D works pretty well, but you want to be at eye level with the. (No installation of the fireplace here) There is almost no mind at all, even content that contains the crosstalk on my 3-D plasma. The resolution is low (I can only say), but not so bad, and as long as you sit far enough in the series, you will not see scan lines. The 3-D Blu-ray is bright and of course the polarized 3D glasses are lightweight and easy to replace. 3-D channels, DirecTV little soft on this lot, but still acceptable.

Is it as good as my active 3-D set? Not really, how the asset has a higher image quality, but the construction goes through the plasma passive with respect to the absence of ghosting / crosstalk will. I think most casual 3-D Viewers would be very happy. 2-D and 3-D conversion is probably the best I've seen, though rarely use this feature.

I would not say that active obsolete (at least 3-D content affects both types of sentences, how to choose between LCD, plasma or DLP, you can actively or passively), but if they get a higher resolution (1080p in two eyes) I expect that the market will go to the liabilities. 2-D image is excellent, and the various applications and features of the Internet are well executed
