LG 37LH30 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Gloss Black
I`ve owned a very nice 32″ LCD TV for about a year now.
I thought about going bigger & this TV was attractive &
priced just right.
When it came in I noticed the picture quality was less than
what I currently own.
A bit of investigation lead me to this:
When you get a TV set bigger than 32″ make sure it ie at
least 120hz. This is very important especially if you
are watching sports.
The “pixels” in a 60hz cannot keep up with fast action
thus causing a slight blur in the pic.
Unfortunately the description of this TV did not even mention
the HZ.
Makes me wander why cause it seems the makers are
dumping the lesser 60hz sets. Well, walla, answer:
A newer & better 240hz is just on the horizon. 4 times
the pixels & picture quality.
Guess it`s like everything else. BUYER BEWARE
I am not going to be very technical in this review, and since I don’t know about all those technical details that would give a rating of excellent, I gave it 4 stars. I had an expert set it up when I got Dish Network installed, so that it would work seamlessly with the receiver. (Which it did). The picture is clear, as clear as the 37″ Sony Bravia’s picture is in another room, and the LG cost at least $300.00 less. That means that I will be able to buy more “home theater” equipment to go with it.
So here’s the deal, I compared the 2008 model of this LG with a comparable Sony and Samsung. Side by side, feature for feature the LG put them both in the closet. Do yourself a favor and do the same if you’re thinking of buying a TV. As of this writing (mid March 2009) the 2009 model will be out approximately next week. The store I bought from gave me $100 discount if I bought and waited for the new model to arrive. I gladly obliged.
I have had the LG 37LH30 for about 3 weeks now. It seems to be an excellent TV and I would have given it 5 stars except for one thing. It has only one optical audio out and no RCA type audio outputs. That means I cannot run the audio out to a simple old amp to power my external speakers. I would need to buy a newer amp with optical audio inputs. The optical gives 5.1 audio, but I don’t have that sort of setup and do not have any 5.1 audio coming in anyway. Other than that it is doing a fine job. I have DVD, cable to the TV tuner, Tivo, PC-VGA and a cable set top box all coming in with inputs to spare. I went through hours of comparisons and feature filtering and am happy with the result.
