Hi, I've been looking aorund for a new TV for the living room. I came across this. I'm not really that clued up on televisions, I must admit, but as it started off as a £1000 television, I was thinking, it can't be bad!! Any views/opinions appreciated.

IME LG's are good value for money and have a decent picture but their reliability is questionable. On that basis, go for it but take the 5 year warrenty offered. Alternatively this panel is pretty good and £200 off http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/store/dix_page.jsp...

Generally however file Korean televisions in the same round receptacle as their cars.
Agree with what you said totally, but for your average punter an LG or Samsung does the job, and does it fairly well. They're not great, but overall people are happy with them.Generally however file Korean televisions in the same round receptacle as their cars.
I for one would be more than happy with an LG LH5000 - for the money it is a bloody good piece of kit.

I would probably take the warranty at for all the extra they are charging. How are Richer Sounds to deal with on extended warranty claims??i'm no superhero said:

I really don't understand the logic; some folk pay ludicrous amounts to get a tan for a transient, two week thrill yet something which is going to last years becomes an object of profound parsimony.
The illogic is compounded in the light of prior punts of something similar, wherein by any relative standard a great deal more was expended for less whichever way you slice it.
Thus cheapness, rather than value, becomes the primary virtue. The argument represents acceptance of a fake bill of cheapened goods: the quality/performance gap is truly massive and yet the willingness to compromise for minimal shekel is depressingly common.
One can but try.

[Translate]People often want to buy the cheapest TV set, without considering value for money. They would rather pay lots of money on a nice holiday (the benefit of which lasts for two weeks) rather than spend it on a good quality TV set which will last five to ten years.[/Translate]The illogic is compounded in the light of prior punts of something similar, wherein by any relative standard a great deal more was expended for less whichever way you slice it.

The difference is in the design/surround of the screen itself: both have nice, glossy black finishes, but the Samsungs do always look the nicest IMO. The main advantage of LG is that their sound quality isn't as diabolical as Samsung's.
Answer? Buy a Panasonic.

At the risk of opening a can of worms here, if LG is gonna be better than the equivalent Samsung, what would be better? Are these comments purely based on the model I have used as an example or is their whole range relatively poor in quality in comparison with others? E.G. Phillips, Panasonic etc??
LG and Samsung, if I'm not mistaken, regularly make eachothers LCD screens.The difference is in the design/surround of the screen itself: both have nice, glossy black finishes, but the Samsungs do always look the nicest IMO.

Aside from that, Samsung partnered with Sony to share R&D and production costs of LCD panels, as did LG and Philips.
Unless Samsung or LG have a particular chip they manufacture themselves or through a daughter company, then there's little likelihood of seeing each others stuff in their own products.
