Great Bedroom/kitchen TV
This is a great little hdtv for any bedroom or kitchen for its size!

Great Picture; Terrible Sound
This looks like a great compact TV until you listen to it and try to connect it to headphones or a stereo system -- Just not possible. No audio output so if you don't like the sound, or you want to put it in a bedroom and not disturb your partner... you're out of luck. My smaller and cheaper TVs have an audio output that you can plug in a set of headphones or connect to...

After having it for a week I have found these bad reviews of the sound quality to be unfounded. The sound quality is excellent and plenty loud enough for a smaller room. The #1 feature of this set is the quality of the picture in brightly lit rooms. I have not seen another flat screen that handles light reflection as well as LG's. I am considering buying a second one to use for my desktop computer as it has a RGB input as well!!!

For those of you who want a bright, sharp HDTV packed with useful features for the bedroom, this is your set! I have used my television as an alarm clock since my college days in the 1970's (that is not a typo!) and this television has that feature. You can wake to your favorite morning news show. Another feature that i didn't expect and love, is touted as a "Green" feature. For all of us insomniacs out there, if you can't sleep, and you like the "noise" of the tv, but don't want the whole room lit up, this television has a feature that allows you to listen to the television but shut the picture. I was surprised and thrilled when I discovered this. Of course there is a sleep timer, different picture settings etc. The audio, unfortunately, leaves something to be desired. But that is the only negative I find, and it is way overshadowed by the great features of this television. I highly recommend it.

The LG 22LH20 22-Inch 720p LCD HDTV is great. I have it in my small bedroom and the size is perfect. I don't think I would go any larger. The setup was easy. I have a coaxial cable connecting from the outside to this TV. All I had to do was automatically scan for channels and I was able to pick up well over a hundred so that tells you how good the digital tuner is on the 22LH20.
Positives:
- Elegant design
- Easy setup
- Strong digital ATSC and QAM tuners
- Beautiful, crisp, and clear picture
- Pretty good black levels, although I wasn't expecting much with an 8,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Even so, the picture is amazingly sharp.
- 5ms response time. You don't see many response times like that on TVs this size.
- Good amount of picture settings and adjustment options
- Great sound. I see several people on various sites complaining about the sound. Why? The sound is extremely clear and loud. I have my TV's volume at 10 and that's more than sufficient for me. The highest this TV goes up to is 100. What I would suggest to everyone is to follow these steps to get great sound: MENU > AUDIO > Clear Voice II: ON > Level: 6(Max.) > Sound Mode: Standard(User) > Treble: 100 > Bass: 100
- The energy saving features. Yes, this TV has a sleep timer where you can set it to turn off at a set number of minutes. However, you can go a step further by setting the TV to turn on and off at a specific times. For example, I have my TV set to go off Sun.-Sat. at 12am. You can also set it to turn on on particular days of the week, a specific time, input, channel and volume level.
The Energy Saving feature also can dim the brightness of the TV or turn the screen completely off so that all you hear is the sound of the TV. Great feature especially if you are one of those people who needs the sound of the TV to go to sleep. This can be accomplished without you wasting energy because the screen is on and you don't have to worry about the light of the TV distracting you.
Negatives
- Only 1 HDMI port
- Some backlight bleed at at the top and bottom of the screen. Only noticeable, somewhat, in dark scenes and more noticeable when the picture is completely black.
- Viewing angle isn't the greatest. The picture color washes out a bit from extreme side angle views but not enough for it to be unwatchable like I've seen on other HDTVs of this size.
- The screen is not exactly 22in. but about a half inch less than that. I know it's common for LCDs' diagonal inches to be inexact but it's annoying nonetheless.
The LG 22LH20 is my second LG HDTV and like my other one I'm very please with it. LG doesn't get it's due because of the brand being eclipsed by brands such as Sony, Samsung and others. But it seems like no matter what I buy from this company, I'm rarely if ever disappointed. The LG 22LH20 is no exception. This is a wonderful little TV for small bedrooms and dorm rooms. I highly recommend it.

This is a welcome addition to my bedroom, has ample inputs for my sattelite reciever, DVD Player, and even a computer. Simple to set up, pretty much programmed itself (it takes about 15 to scan all channels and signal types)and looks great. The hidden speakers are quite cool because they do not require extended case size to accomidate them. Obviously this does not have booming bass or anything like that, but is sounds good. The energy settings allow for dimming the screen, which is handy in a dark room. The only think I wish it did was display 2 inputs at once, for example show the computer and the TV input at the same time. But I am frugal and this does not detract from my enjoyment of this TV.

This is an excellent HDTV. Great picture, easy set up. If I have any complaint, it is that the speakers are small, and so the sound is a little weak. I am not sure if any flat screen TV of this size would accommodate louder speakers, and this is a minor gripe really. We have the unit mounted on the wall about 10 feet from our bed, and the picture is great and the sound adequate except for quiet segments. I may get add on speakers.
All in all a great value and I love the quality of the picture -- all colors are vivid and clear. We use the TV for on air broadcast signal only (no cable).

Decent tv for the price, the settings to adjust color and picture aren't difficult to use but difficult to get the picture I desire. The size is okay for an average size bedroom (12 X 12) but if I had it to do over I probably would choose a 26 inch or larger.

I purchased this TV to replace a 20" one from another manufacturer & I cannot believe how much better this LG is in comparison. The sound is awsome & you can customize the settings so the voices are heard over background effects / noise without having to turn the volume way up. The color & clarity of images is also so much better than my last tv... people shown closeup are actually the skin color that they should be, not an orange-ish color. Setting this up with DirecTV was no problem and I have not found anything about this TV that I don't like. This was my first LG purchase & based on how happy I am with the TV, I would not think twice before getting other LG electronics.

I had a few problems and had to return the first television. I think the first tv had a problem with the ballast on the back light. Kudos to Amazon Return policy, I had a new tv faster than I was able to ship the first one back.
The television is good, but not great. I bought this for the kids room and it serves that purpose. I wall mounted it without any problems. It's light weight and has plenty of inputs. The kids have a Wii console connected to the composite video and a digital satellite receiver using HDMI.
The picture is good and the sound quality is good. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase. My kids can watch Disney while I watch Deadwood. Everyone is happy.

The LG 22-inch HDTV is ideal for the bedroom or study. Easy to handle at 15 pounds, it requires no assembly and is up and running (cable) in 5 minutes. The picture is razor sharp and brilliant, the sound quality good, though volume limited, the remote convenient. The price is spectacular! I could not be more pleased.
