4.0 out of 5 stars LG 26LG40, April 2, 2009

A Kid's Review

This review is from: LG 26LG40 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV with Built-in DVD Player (Electronics)

I wanted a tv to mount on my bedroom wall and decided on this one.
The slim design is good. The picture is excelent. The picture from the dvd player is excelent. The one draw back is the sound is so "quiet" when watching a DVD movie. The sound does not seem to increase higher than the fifty percent level even though the volume is truned up to one hundred percent. The sound from the TV chanels is fine. It is a good thing that my hearing is ok.

1.0 out of 5 stars DVD Player on TV lasted less than 2 months, December 11, 2008

I did not purchase this TV at Amazon. I have purchased a larger LCD from Amazon, and to their credit, that was a great experience. Now onto the LG 26LG40. I bought this TV/DVD Combo, for the sole reason of being able to hang it on the wall and not have anything except my antenna/satellite hooked up. It works beautifully for that. I was able to use a splitter backwards, combine my sat and ota antenna feeds and the TV worked great to tune it all in. The DVD WAS great for about 2 months, a little less actually. Then it stopped taking the discs into the player, making it very useless. I paid a premium for the DVD player being built in. This tv has specs that can be had for much less. However, I thought I was buying a quality product that would meet my needs. Now with the DVD needing repair, I have to ship it back to an LG repair shop, and I will be without a TV for 10-14 days while they fix it. Did I mention I have had it for 2 months. I would NOT buy this TV again. For that matter, I would not buy an LG Product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice for Small Room, February 26, 2009

Nice solution for a small bedroom. Good quality picture and sound. Would have preferred black instead of the red colour. Max sound is not suitable for a large room. I am a bit concerned (based on other reviews) about the longevity of the DVD player and will post an update only if dissatisfied.
