Got it last x-mas... so far so good...Very nice TV! Overall 5 stars!!!
The only bad thing I found is the USB port on it quite useless... Doesn't recognize my cannon sd780is which I think is popular camera. Also tried a 2gb thumb drive with no luck. Another thing is the only output on it is a optical for audio, that's it, no video or coax audio. Other then that thumbs up.
LG is a good brand so I Knew it was going to be a good buy.
Go for it!

This TV has a great picture. When watching in HD, the picture is simply stunning. This is only a 720P set, yet I can she minute details on the faces of people. Excellent in a darker room. The one thing that this TV lacks is some kind of glare reducer. If one can put the set in a place avoiding sunlight, it would be absolutely perfect

I have had this TV for about three months now and the picture quality is outstanding. In fact, the only imperfection I notice is a slight haloing effect when really bright elements are adjacent to really dark ones (I usually only see this during film credits with bright text on a black background but it's nothing major). This haloing effect seems due to the two-layer deign (a clear plastic layer set in front of the main plasma screen). I think this is the main trade-off at this price level. Otherwise, the picture is gorgeous. The picture is so good that, unfortunately, it reveals all the flaws in over-compressed "hi-def" source material. I have DISH HD and I notice a lot of artifacts and black crush (over-compression of dark parts of an image). I can't wait until the satellite, cable companies, and studios stop over-compressing their signals so I can enjoy a real hi-def picture. And when they do, this little LG will easily be up to the task. Be warned, it is essential that you adjust the brightness, contrast, and especially the gamma to get a great picture. Out of the box I was unimpressed but after several hours of tweaking I finally honed-in on a near-perfect combination of settings for my satellite and DVD/bluray. The brightness, clarity and naturalness of the picture sometimes gives me the sense that I'm looking out a window instead of at a television. This tv is much like my expensive Sony Trinitron CRT except with a wide screen, perfect geometry and much higher resolution. Also, the up-conversion it does for standard definition is the best I've ever seen. I wasn't sure I wanted a plasma because I couldn't find one that wasn't an unbelievable power hog but this little beauty is rated at a scant 180 watts which is less than my smaller 37" LCD! At this price level, I would have to give this TV 6 stars (on a 5-star scale).
