I did considerable research before buying this TV. I had a wish list of features that the wife and I had come up with plus constraints on my budget and the physical size of the TV due to existing space within our entertainment center which was of the pre wide screen era.

While we had to compromise on several of our wish list features ( Internet connectivity to access things like Pandora most notably) the items we did not get seemed to be pretty much standard across the 32" size selection and apparently only available in the region of 42" and above.

I had occasion to visit LG's website to attempt to determine info that was not shown in the Amazon description and was very pleased with the support LG offers even in just looking at their TV pre-buy. I had a real time chat with one of their CSRs who was able to get me the info I was looking for immediately and make several alternate suggestions.

The longest portion of my set up time was assembling the base and attaching it to the TV. The instructions are extremely clear and set up is a snap.

We were initially somewhat dismayed at the sound quality and its apparent loudness as we are not using a surround sound system with it as yet. However after a little exploring of the extensive set up menus I located some sound configuration selections and by changing several of those made a huge improvement in the sound quality. The fact that in order to locate these setting I had to spend a great deal of time exploring and fumbling around as opposed to them being part of the set up wizard that you run the first time out is the reason for my 1 star deduction off the Ease of Set Up category.

Our seating arrangement is ideally spaced for a 32" TV and the picture is extremely clear sharp and bright at the recommended distance. We love the auto brightening and dimming feature of the display to match ambient room light. A minor note about this is that the sensor used to monitor the ambient room light is extremely sensitive to the point where a scented tea light votive candle burning more than 15 feet way from the TV and behind the viewing area was driving it nuts attempting to read and compensate for the room lighting until we moved it.

In terms of "bang for the buck" and quality we are so pleased with this TV we are strongly considering getting a second one for our home office to do double duty as TV and computer monitor.

This is our first flat-screen TV, and we bought it because LG was recommended to us by a young man in a Big Box Store who seemed knowledgeable after we'd asked him about 20 minutes of specific questions. This particular model seemed to have the best combination of features and price we could afford.

We've been quite pleased with it. The setup was very easy (once our son came by and helped us move out the gigantic, heavy old-fashioned RCA set we were replacing) and it did well out of the box. Once we upgraded our Dishnetwork setup to HD and hooked it up, the picture quality both in HD and SD (it's fun learning all this new video lingo) seems excellent.

The only complaint we would have is that the sound system seems noticeably lower in volume than we would like when we're playing anything on the DVD, DVR or Roku systems. I don't hear any distortion, it just requires turning up louder than I would prefer in order to get adequate volume.

Overall, we're quite pleased with the set and especially at the excellent price we got on it through Amazon.

We have a 60" LG plasma in our den, which we love, so when I needed a smaller TV for the home gym, I bought this 32" model. It's got a great picture and it's easy to set up, and with a Roku it was cheaper than similar "internet TVs" that come with the streaming stuff (netflix, hulu, etc) built-in. So for the price and the quality, it was just what we wanted. However, after about 20 minutes of being on, the sound would fizzle once and then intermittently cut out. It was almost like a feedback loop, once it started, the sound would cut out faster and faster until it just stopped working altogether. At first we thought it was the Roku, so we exchanged the Roku box for a new one, but it was still happening, and we tried a jump drive, and some other ideas, but eventually realized that it was the TV sound cutting out. We returned the TV for an exact replacement and have been very happy. But if yours does the weird sound cutting out thing, exchange it for a replacement!

First let me say how great this tv is! I paid only $332, which is great. Picture is stunning! The picture wizard setting allows you to get the best picture for that movie you're watching or game you're playing. Also, this tv does have 1080p picture capability. Sounds pretty good too! But you can always get a sound bar or system if you want more out of it. It may not be as thin as an LED but it's not a big deal. Remote is fairly basic, but I like it. Screen burn in is very unlikely with this LCD tv, unlike a plasma which you have to be extra careful not to leave it paused for too long. (We have one) You won't regret purchasing this tv. Ever.

Bought this tv a little over a month and a half ago and I have to say first off I love it. The picture quality is amazing, the sound is good for flatscreen speakers, and it has some pretty sweet features. For example, normally to watch a movie I'd need to hook up my computer with an hdmi cable, but if you have the movie file on your computer you can just throw it on a flash drive and plug it right into the tv since it has a usb drive on the side of the tv. Very good product and I would recommend picking one up.

So i got this for my son's new room and wow! how good it looked! This had a sleek design and fitted perfectly in my son's room.
my son loves it. He uses a Ps3.

Pros:
great picture
colors crisp
no lag
auto tunes the brightness and pictures
Ok sound
good price

Cons
sometimes if you turn the sound way way up there is a little buzzing sound other wise id say this is the best TV i ever owned.

My 32" LG TV was a steal!!! No tax, no shipping and it arrived in three days. I wanted an LG because my son and step-daughter both have them and the color is fantastic. He's in NV and she's in NJ.I was able to unpack it and set it up in less than fifteen minutes. It is the BEST TV I've ever owned.

I bought this tv for my bedroom, to play xbox 360 and to use it as a dual monitor. It does both perfectly. I was nervous about the 60hz and the refresh rate, but there is no lag problem when I play on it. It has 3 HDMI ports so I can easily hook up all my add ons. Some people say the speakers are bad, but what i use it for and also for movies i have had no problem with it. Unless the other reviewers have bad hearing or live in a noisy house, the speakers work just fine. I would recommend this to anyone.

TV was very easy to set up, sound quality is great and so is the picture quality. Definitely worth the $300 that I bought it for....

Last Christmas I received a 42" by another manufacturer, and I do enjoy it; however, this LG is a far superior product, plus it has the advantage of using it as a computer monitor, and the former product does not.

I'm enjoying this in a bedroom, and it's a real pleasure; set-up was done by friends in no time 'flat,' and the sound, and adjustments are easy, plus there is a very helpful DVD to utilize that LG included - that is a critical advantage for me because I'm vision-impaired (yes, we do 'watch' TV) and they can be used via adaptive software on our computers.

Thanks to LG for a great product, and to Amazon for it's great Prime shipping and packing! LG 32LK330 32-Inch 720p 60 Hz LCD HDTV
