The HDTV picture is sharp and the colors are crisp and clear. Flesh tones are excellent. Standard def picture is very good. DVD picture is very good. The viewing angle is good. Sound is very good. The controller and the on-screen menu are easy to use and follow. I highly recommend this t.v.

The LG 37 is one of a very few 37 inch LCD units that are full 1080p displays. For those of us who want the best HD picture we can get, this is a good choice. The picture is clear and crisp and the audio is typical of sets of this type, which means if you want great audio, add a sound system. I found the controls somewhat hard to decipher, but once I got the idea, fine adjustments to color and sound were easy. I had no problem finding hanging hardware. Trivial complaint is the large red off light that I can do without.

This product lives up to its high rating. Peripheral views are good. Only issue is that wall mounting is complicated by the widely spaced mounting screws, which require a more expensive wall mount than some other brands.

The TV came as promised. Very quick actually. No issues with packing. Set-up was pretty easy. Getting the picture quality up to the same quality as my girlfriends Sharp Aquos has not been easy though.

I started by swapping out the HD cable box, and, then had the cable company come out to the house to check the signalling. I upgraded to HDMI cabling but while the LG has a very good picture, i don't feel it is as high quality as other reviewers had suggested.

The remote works well, easy to figure out.

Overal all nice, but not superior.

I did a ton of research on LCD and other flat screen TVs prior to purchasing this, I really wanted a full HD TV on my 37" screen despite the fact that many places said that on TVs smaller than 45" the difference wasn't noticeable. I got what I wanted and so far I love it! Great picture and great sound also!

What do you expect when you pay $ 1,200 for what is supposed to be a high quality LCD TV? The problem with reviews, most people write them 3 to 6 months after they get the product. I would have said this was a great TV until 1 yr and 2 months after owning it. After 1 yr and 2 months it started developing lines the height of a dollar bill and going halfway across the screen. When there are a lot of colors or black on the screen you can't see the lines, but when it is white or a light back ground you see the lines clearly. LG only offers a 1 yr warranty and so now I have to live with it or spend more money out of pocket to fix it. LG's engineers did a great job of getting the TV to last just over the warranty. I am very very upset and disappointed with this TV and will never by another LG product.

The picture is good on this TV, but the remote is very user unfriendly....small buttons close together and all alike. It is in a bedroom and almost impossible to change channels in the dark. Also I don't like the way the channels are set up. After each channel there is a dash and a 0 or another number that makes no sense to me whatsoever. It is set up in four channel types: TV, DTV, CADTV, CATV....why I am not sure...it is just confusing to me. I guess that is why they price was reduced on this unit. I should have sent it back, but I found that too much problem. Had I read a review stating this information I would not have ordered the TV. I cannot recommend it.
