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.

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.

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.

LG really blew it on this one. They boast about the invisable speakers as a feature but they may as well be non existant. At max volume it was still low and distorted. Returned it for the sharp
32'' well worth the extra money.

Pros: Very attractive design, ease of having dvd player in tv, picture quality great, good price.

Cons:LOUD,LOUD,LOUD background noise when using the dvd player.....dvd player 'drive' no matter what volume you use is very noisey and if you turn the volume up the DVD noise gets worse, will not stream video in HD for instance when using 'ROKU-HD, Netflix player',have had difficulty in getting the DVD to eject frequently........DVD works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't......all of these problems from the 'get go' and I have used this TV for over a year.

Would not switch from DVD setting back to TV setting without being
reset with the input button. ABT did take it back without a problem.

this is my second lg lcd tv..their picture is just remarkable. that's what made me buy this tv..it is very attractive also..gloss black frame and a nice dark red at the bottom.. dvd player is great too.. sound could be a little better but this is only a 26 inch tv for my bedroom...

This TV I bought for my husband for Christmas. He has it in his home office and LOVES IT. The body is very attractive. The picture and sound are great. It is also a very nice feature to have the built-in DVD. We are both more than pleased with this purchase. It was a great value for the money.
