 Good TV April 24, 2008

This is a good TV. I previously had an Olevia (Syntax) 27" LCD HDTV, and I have to say that this TV is a significant improvement. I recommend this TV!
The Good Features
The speakers are good (no hiss or low quality digital sound). The speakers are hidden below the TV. So it's good for confined spaces. They're not as good as a $500 surround sound system with a sub-woofer, but you get what you pay for.
It has an option to turn off the TV power LED when it is not on, which is helpful if you sleep in the room with the TV. The LED also flashes when it receives a command from the remote control, which is good feedback when you don't notice something is blocking the remote control signal to the TV, like the edge of a TV stand. When the TV is off, the red LED looks like HAL 9000 from the movie 2001, which I got a kick out of.
I like the swivel stand on the TV, which is good for easier cable setup. It's Energy Star compliant. It has a great user interface for adding and removing TV channels after you have automatically scanned all the channels (tabbed panels with a preview pane). It can handle HDTV (ATSC) and analog TV (NTSC) signals.
The picture quality is much better than my previous LCD TV. I have no complaints when it's viewed from a typical viewing angle.
The Bad Features
Even though it has great side to side viewing angle, it has a slightly worse than average viewing angle from the bottom. So when mounting this TV up high, you should consider wall mounting it with a downward tilt. Viewing from 45 degrees from below washes out the colors, but this viewing angle isn't typical for most people.
The reflection from the border on the TV can be distracting in a room with a lot of lights when displaying a show with very low light levels (e.g. a horror movie typically has very low light levels). The border also shows dust a little more easily than a matte finish. It's a nice and shiny TV though.

Got this on Black Friday. It is a fantastic set at a great price. Much easier to use and in my opinion a better picutre than Samsung.
The sound quality is fantastic. Many of these smaller sets have lousy sounds that is similar to an alarm clock. This has two powerful 10 Watt speakers designed by Mark Levenson. It is a great set at a fantastic price!

We are extremely pleased with the LG 26" LCD TV. The picture is bright and crisp, sound control is good, remote is responsive and easy to use, and it was plug and play. Good value for good product.

As a recent retiree travel trailering across the US, I bought this tv in Chattanooga at HH Gregg on Black Friday, as an in-store, unadvertised, NIB special for $399! It has an amazingly clear picture, and the colors are brilliant. The blacks are BLACK. I have only used it thus far to receive both analog and digital, including HD, over-the-air signals with rabbit ears and find it to be very satisfactory. The sound leaves a bit to be desired, but with such small in-set speakers that is to be expected. When I connect my small Altec Lansing computer speakers with separate subwoofer, the sound is awesome. All in all, a great product, especially at the price.............
Even better than expected! February 5, 2009

Very happy with my decision on the LG 26LG30 - excellent picture and great tuner! I have Comcast as my service provider and I don't use a converter box and this TV's tuner is able to display the HD broadcasts of the local TV stations right from the cable coming out of the wall! I used a Peerless Universal mount (not recommended for this particular model, but that's a whole other story) and ran the wires up through the wall for a nice clean install in a master bedroom. Totally recommend this TV - great value for the price. I looked at everything in the 26" category and by dropping down to a lesser priced product from another manufacturer, the difference in the picture quality was very clear - this one is WORTH paying a little more for without going for a higher end model. Best way to buy a TV is go look at them in the big box stores and then go buy on line - I ended up paying a lot less.
