Fantastic product, will not disappoint! August 1, 2009 Mr. Al Ward (Norwich, Nofolk) 33 out of 33 found this review helpful
I was (as i am sure you are) suspicious of how good a hd tv could be for such a price. Well after much thought i hit buy button and didn't look back! Item came promptly and with an easy setup on scanning for freeview channels, was ready to go in minimal effort and time. I've played several bluray movies through it and the picture is great though as clear as the sound was the built in speakers have little bass but a seperate sound system would solve that. All in all worth the price.
Great for gaming August 8, 2009 Anon (Newcastle, UK) 143 out of 146 found this review helpful
OK - I can't talk about the digital TV features, since I'm just using it for gaming. What I can say, though, is that if you're looking for a high-contrast, high-resolution panel which is the perfect size for computer games, you need look no further.
There's two major advantages this TV has; firstly, its 50,000:1 contrast ratio, which means that white areas on the screen are fifty thousand times brighter than black areas. Cheaper 32" sets tend to be much lower, around 18,000:1 or even below 1000:1 for the supermarket resales. The higher ratio on this set gives the picture a lot more depth.
Its second advantage is its 1920x1080 resolution. Many TV sets are marketed as 'HD Ready' or 'Full HD' - what you need to look for is the actual resolution, and this set has pixels in spades. It also has LG's 'XD Engine' chipset to clean up and improve picture quality, but if you're using this to play games on you want to turn it off and get your console to scale the image instead - the Xbox 360 has the ANA chip for exactly this purpose, and it's a lot faster and less laggy. Game Mode is there for exactly this purpose.
Other features? Well, it has a nice Picture Wizard setting tuning menu, which helps you to set the picture up just how you like it; the base has a pixot in the middle to let you turn the screen up to about 20 in either direction, which is helpful. It also has an on/off switch as well as a standby button for the energy-conscious among us, and an energy-saving mode too. The speakers are great but a tiny bit lacking in the lower-end - add a 2.1 speaker system for £40 if you're gaming or watching films - but then again, this is a lot better than my subwoofer at keeping the neighbours happy!
I paid £370 for this TV in August 2009; I've given it a thorough going-over, and I can say that it's definately a bargain. Quality-wise, it outperforms everything else under £450, and it's easy to use to boot. Buy it!
Fully satisfied August 23, 2009 A. Farquhar (Yorkshire, UK) 129 out of 132 found this review helpful
It was finally time for us to go fully digital and retire our analogue TV. We're very pleased by the 32LH3000. It seems to be an excellent product at a very reasonable price. We've been using it for standard definition digital TV, DVDs, and Xbox gaming. Everything on it has worked just as it should have, right from the start.
The picture quality is excellent; the colours seem rich and bright; sound fills the modest size living room very comfortably. It was easy to set up and the on-screen instructions were clear and easy to follow. The electronic programme guide is responsive and well designed as are all of the on-screen menus. This is a stark contrast with the Samsung HDD that we also use. The freeview tuner on the 32LH3000 is also more accurate and sensitive than the Samsung. It gives clearer images with fewer digital artefacts.
The set also offers excellent connectivity including 3 HDMI inputs, two component HD, two SCART, antenna, RCA and 3mm sound, headphone and more. The input and output layout is sensibly designed, a cable catcher keeps the many cables tidy, and the swivel stand enables us to access a set of inputs and outputs around the back, but accessible from the side. This keeps them out of sight, but leaves the accessible - great for gaming devices and headphones. I love the thoughtful feature of being able to select a label for each input selector (e.g., Games for one HDMI input, DVD for another). LG has the nicest design of the (many) remotes that we have. It is simple and clean with clearly labelled buttons and a battery cover that is tethered to the remote and doesn't fall off when dropped.
Altogether, the 32LH3000 purchased through Amazon has been a superb consumer experience. They both delivered the goods.
LG......Life is definately Good with this TV. October 21, 2009 Mr. Alan John Worboys (London, UK) 21 out of 21 found this review helpful
My second LG TV purchase and this one's every bit as good as the first.
Picture quality is superb...crisp natural clarity with response time perfect which should be expected from a 1080p.
I have a very large lounge and found the 32" screen a perfect size.
Sound i also found to be superb..plenty of volume available that doesn't sound tinny.
Ease of use and basic sound and picture controls make this TV also a breeze to operate.
Overall i would say this TV is the best set around for the money and possibly even better than more expensive sets as well.
Fab! August 13, 2009 EllieD (Sunderland, UK) 68 out of 70 found this review helpful
Delighted with this. Easy to set up, lovely picture, sound quality excellent. Should add here that I am aged 60, female, and had no problems at all doing everything (including unpacking) myself. Beautifully clear instructions, set-up a doddle. No hesitation at all in recommending this product to anyone.
