Does the 3000:1 contrast ratio indicate that some of these 2004 LG sets have a black level equivalent/near equivalent to the panasonic's and fujitsu's?

I have not yet seen one of these 3000:1 CR LG sets, but I would not necessarily think that they will be comparable to Panasonic based on the #'s. CR #'s are not measured the same way by all manufacturers, and CR does not directly equate to black level.

Robert

I just saw the 42" with the 5000 CR at CC. It looked fantastic. The black bezel is very classy looking as well. I see that there is a 50" model. Anyone seen that yet?

There are 2 42" ED models. One is the RU-42PX11 which is black and silver with integrated speakers. The other is the RU-42PZ71 which is all black and has detatchable speakers (I think this is the only one CC is carrying). The equivalent 42" HD, 50", and 60" models all have a more silver bezel. There is no equivalent 50" to the RU-42PX11.

Robert

You are right. The RU-42PZ71 is what I saw. Very impressive. Anyone have real life reviews?

Robert
can you shed light on LG"s thinking on the RU-42PZ61 and putting two NTSC tuners on it and not al least one ATSC, why no digital tuner on a HD panel?

I went to BB last night and noticed how well this unit looked. BB had the RU-42PZ61 next to the ED Panasonic. They were running a loop of DiscoveryHD. The LG looked a little better, but that's because it was HD vs ED. The processor in the LG worked extremely well compared to other displays such as Philips, Sharp(LCD), and Samsung. I thought the LG, Panasonic, and Pioneer 4341 stood out by far in terms of its ability to produce a clean picture. At the same time, this could have been affected on how the feed was being given to each display. In the end, I will have to put LG up there with Pioneer or Panasonic's (new '05 Viera's) as I look to make a purchase. I will just have to wait a compare with new Viera's once out.

I certainly cannot claim to know what they are thinking, but I would guess that it is primarily price driven. I don't think you can find another 42" HD plasma at retail for close to the pricing of the RU-42PZ61. The DU-42PY10X with digital tuner and CableCARD is available for $700 more.

Robert

Robert: Thanks for all your work on this FAQ/spec page. Jsut starting look at LG as my local AV guy is getting in some of the high altitude models. I live at 7200 ft and getting to see a model that will work (well) here has been a challenge.

very nice work!

ss

I've been very impressed with the LG plasmas that I've seen. They're the only plasmas that rival Panasonics in terms of black levels. The colors are pretty nice, too.

I do wish, however, that they'd use HDMI instead of DVI, and that the MSRP would be lower.

The models with integrated digital tuners (DU-42PY10X/DU-50PY10/DU-60PY10) do have HDMI instead of DVI. They do not yet have an integrated 42" ED, unfortunately. Regardless of MSRP, the LGs are generally less expensive than Panasonic at retail.

Robert

Nice page Robert!

I have a set that isn't on your list: DU-42PX12X

It has a case/stand/speakers that resembles the 42px11/h on your, but it is high resolution like the 42py10h.

Note it is not the same as the 42px12xc that you have listed there. The DU-42PX12X I don't believe is fanless or has the faroudja for example. Also the case on the 42px12xc is all silver in a style that the local store calls "last year's design" On the 42px12x, the 'intermediate' bezel between the glass and the speakers is a matte black, not silver.

The link is here:

http://ca.lge.com/en/prodmodeldetail.do?actType=search&page=1&modelCategoryId=0102&categoryId=0102&parentId=01&modelCodeDisplay=DU-42PX12X&model=0

Thanks. At this time, only US models are listed. Canada and other countries may have some different models than those sold in the US.

Robert

I just got a DU-42py10x. I actually got it begrudgingly 'cause the Sony LCD rear proj. I wanted was on backorder. I think the LG set looks fantastic. (my 1st HD set) and was waiting for the Sony (which I was going to do an exchange on).Well the Sony came today and looked awful in comparison. I'm paranoid about plasmas regardless and want to find an extended warranty. The store wants $1000 for a 5 year. Thats ridiculous!! Any suggestions? Does LG offer an in home extended warranty?

Thanks

Is anybody a user of or have you seen the 37" DU-37LZ30 or the 42" DU-42LZ30 from LG? These seem very pricey at MSRP but there may be discounts available.

I've been seriously considering the LG-RU42PZ71 (EDTV) or the LG-RU42PZ61 (HDTV), but am not quite willing to pull the trigger due to price. I really like the 5000:1 contrast ratio and CC display models look great! I've been monitoring the Vizio-P42HD thread (see threadid 462259) which appears to be a decent 42" HDTV with 3000:1 contrast ratio set at a very, very competitive price at SAM"s and Costco. One of the more recent posts reveals that the Vizio components have "LGE PDP" stamped on the ciruit boards. Could the Vizio unit actually be an LG Plasma display manfactured in China and repackaged under the Vizio name?

Clubsport,
Please give me a detailed review on your DU-42py10x. Saw this at BB and has everything I need. HDMI, RGB, IEEE, CC and your normal inputs. Not to mention 8 day EPG. I'm waiting for the 50"

Thanks in advance

IMO that's WAY too expensive. There have been several threads recently which have discussed warranty prices. In many cases people have been quoted ONE THIRD of that amount. Those threads should turn up in a search. If you can't find any info let me know and I will tell you what I was quoted.

I posted this on another thread but thought it would go better here. I looked very closely at the Panasonic and LG ED sets at CC and Sound Track (UE in Colorado). At CC they were within 6 feet of each other and running the Discovery Channel HD loop. In between was an LG HD, a Sony HD, and a Hitachi HD. About another 4 feet away was a Panasonic HD (all 42"). Above the LG ED was an ESA ED (also 42). My thoughts. THe ESA did not look good to me. The LG and Panasonic ED's looked VERY close to me. I watched carefully for black levels, skin tones etc (I had the saleperson turn down the contrast). I watched for any artifacting etc. To my eye at least the LG held its own against the Panasonic. I viewed from 4-12 feet. I also concur with those who feel that in the 10-12 ft range there is not much difference between HD and ED set. If you want to view the ED sets 4-6 feet, you may be subject to SDE, I was. Bottom line, for $500 less, the LG is still on my list. Now here is the important question. For the life of me I can not understand why the RU-42PZ71 msrp is $800 more than the RU-42PX11/H. I have looked at all the specs and can see no difference other than color. What am I missing???

Hi Guys,
I have been reading these forums for the last month trying to decide between the Panny (ED) or the LG (ED). I saw the Panny and the RU-42PZ71 at CC and the RU-42PX11 at a local HiFi House. I could not see any picture difference between the LG's and IMO they both looked better than the Panny. I ended up pulling the trigger on the RU-42PX11 for just a hare over 22 benjamins. I hope I did the right thing.

"Now here is the important question. For the life of me I can not understand why the RU-42PZ71 msrp is $800 more than the RU-42PX11/H. I have looked at all the specs and can see no difference other than color. What am I missing???"

Good Question....One difference I noticed that actually favors the lower priced PX11 is that it has built in speakers..I don't think the PZ71 does..
I did see the PZ71 listed online at a place called ABE's of Maine for around the same price as I paid for my PX11..

I've been very pleased with my PX11 that I got about a month ago at BrandSmart in Atlanta for just under $2000.00 + tax..I got their 3yr extended warrenty (which is very comprehensive btw) for an additional $118.00..

I did alot of plasma shopping beforehand, and for the price, this model was just too good to pass up. The PQ and specs compared favorably or even better to just about every other model I looked at in the 42" ED catagory. The one's that seemed a little better were alot more money...for not much difference...

I do wish it had HDMI insead of DVI and 2 ports would be nice also so I can connect more than one device..but I could always get a DVI switcher down the road if I feel I really need it...

Also, My old RCA Pro Scan DVD player didn't look that great on this set...not horrible..but after watching HD progamming..it just didn't do enough for me anymore..

So, I went out and got the Toshiba SD V596 Upconversion DVD player with HDMI ($168.00) to hold me over until the new HD DVD movie format comes out. It makes a world of difference..Still not HD TV.. but much closer...

I also have a Yamaha Reciever and Mirage Speakers for Home theater sound..The LG intergated just fine with all that..

And I have comcast cable using the Motorola Dual Tuner HD DVR box (DCT-6412)...The Analog cable channels look fair to worse than that and the higher band digital channels look better but not superb...However, I'm not so sure that the cable PQ is really a symtom of the LG TV itself..but rather a problem with the weak cable signal trying to display on a high res digital widescreen TV set. Anyone with other comcast experiences please let me know so I can continue to call and bitch out the cable co....

BTW, the Comcast HD programming looks amazing on this set so everything else pales in comparison anyway...I do wish they had more HD channels though..I've never watched so many Discovery Documenteries and IMAX stuff in my life :) But I find myself just sitting there staring at the screen in amazment from the PQ...

I hope this "mini" review helps anyone looking at LG's....the RU42PX11 in particular... because there isn't alot of feedback on these new sets anywhere right now..

But IMO, this is an unbelivable deal for anyone looking for a good quality low price ED Plasma

Thanks for the great info!! Better take out that retail price though before your post gets altered.;)

Thanks...I didn't realize that was a problem...I guess now I could see how it would be...

Newbie mistake...

Anyone have any overscan problems with the 42" EDTV display? I was following an earlier thread about it and couldn't help but notice the same problem on the TV @ my local BB. There also seems to be a concern regarding black crush and lip sync. Is this common with this set?

I certainly did not see any lip sync problems, and I watched more than a few minutes of people speaking (I think I would have noticed as I have seen this in Samsung DLP's). As for black crush, I'm not sure. I have seen close up shots on this forum of the dreaded black crush, and it did not seem like a real big deal to me. Don't know if there was overscan or not.

Is anyone familiar with the LG MU-42PM12X?

It seems like a great value...I know it does not have an integrated tuner, but that's not a big issue for me.

Anyone seen or have any thoughts on this model?


Thanks,

Squid

I saw the consumer version of this model at CC when I looked at all those models noted in post #21 above. To my eyes it looked about the same as the HD Hitachi, Panasonic and Sony. If the consumer model is any indicator, I think you would be pleased with the one you are considering.

Can anyone describe the 4:3 stretch modes LG Plasma's offer?

Do they offer any type of Smart-Stretch where the scaler pulls more on the edges than the center?

Squid

hi, the px11 only have 4:3 mode with grey sidebar, 16:9, 14:9 and zoom, no smart mode.

I just got the 42px11h this morning. I am ecstatic with what I have seen so far, but I am struggling with 4:3 content. I have never heard of 14:9 before, but I guess thats what I am getting. It stretches the picture, but won't quite reach the sides. I can't seem to find a way to get the picture to stretch into 16:9. The gray bar mode seems to squeeze the picture a bit to me. When I set my dish to 720p or 1080i, I get a perfect 4:3 picture with black bars on the side, but I gather that that is a big no no because of burn in. I don't understand the 14:9 though, what's the point of stretching the picture if you aren't going to cover the whole screen?

I saw the RU-23LZ21 at CC today. It was playing the HD feed and looked considerably better than the Panny's and Sharp's. I was surprised. Of course, there are many variables, I know. Who knows if someone had tweaked it and none of the others.

Anyway, I'd like to us a monitor/TV as a secondary monitor to my PJ. I'm using a CRT now and need the real estate back. Has anyone checked out this monitor's capability as a PC monitor?

I also notice that some of the recent LG plasma panels ' performance are quite good or better than Panny. The MSRP prices are quite competitive. Maybe it is time to give this brand some serious consideration?
With 2 years warranty on newer models, don't you think LG is confident on its products?

It has an RGB input that accepts 480p/720p/1080i for DTV or 640x480, 800x600, 832x624, 1024x768, or 1280x768 for PC use.

You didn't mention which "dish" you have. On the Dish 6000 receiver, you need to select the aspect ratio 16x9 (other choices 4x3#1, 4x3#2).

Also on your panel, try selecting 14x9 and then zoom, maybe this a way to stretch your 4x3 picture that has black/grey bars all around.....

Thanks, Robert, but I know the specs (thanks for the links, BTW). My question was a bit obscure, I guess. What I was trying to say was: has anyone USED this display on a PC? If so, how did it look?

Thanks.

Robert, what is the difference between DVI-H and DVI-D? Thanks.

Hi guys, I was going to buy a 50-60" DLP or LCD rear projection TV, but then I saw the 50" plasma LG RU-50PZ61 at CC. It looked so much better then the rear proj tv's and was on sale for around $4k, which is only ~$500 more then the rear projs.

I was wondering if you think that this is a good buy, because this price for a 50" plasma makes it seem too good to be true. Are there any downsides to this model?

I really like the LG models. I recently bought the 37 inch LG LCD model for a good price from BestBuy, and the price came down even farther during the 30 days after my purchase, so I went back and got the extra credit from BestBuy. At the time I compared the LG model to the standard in the industry for LCDs, Sharp, and I thought the LG matched the Sharp, for a better price.

While I got an LCD from LG, I looked at the LG plasmas, and in my opinion they matched all the other makes of plasmas. The price you noted seems like a good price (if you get it, I'd suggest you keep checking back for 30 days to see if the price goes lower at your seller or another local seller, and see if your seller will match the lower price, like BestBuy did for me). In my case, BB lowered its price, so I went back and got that credit, and then near the end of my 30 days, CC started carrying the LG LCD and had it on sale, so I took that sale price back to BB and got credit for the lower price.

Raleigh1208

What will LG have for the 2005 models? I assume this one that I like is on sale because it is a 2004 model. Will the 2005 models be significantly different with any critical features, such as better burn-in protection or contrast ratio? I am always paranoid about buying something expensive and then very soon after an improved model comes out.

Updated with preliminary 2006 model info.

Robert

Robert,
Do you have any idea when the 50PC1DR or DRA are going to be available? All I've seen is Q1 2006. Thanks.

I'm being told Aprilish.

I just noticed the info on the new 32LC2D and 37LC2D models. It's about time they came out with some bottom-mounted speakers for these sizes. The 1600 contrast ratio sounds pretty awesome. The 8 ms response time and 178 degree viewing angle is similar to the other competing new models. Hopefully these will be in stores soon.

Has anyone seen the DU-42PX12XC in person? How would it compare to the 42" ED Panasonic TH-42PWD8UK ??

Robert or anyone else:

I have the 50PX5D for about four weeks now. Have to say that overall, I'm thrilled with this set. I have the video settings at about 50 brightness, 40 contrast, etc for "break in", even though LG says it is not necessary.

Anyway, is there a way to check the number of hours on this set. I asked LG tech support, but they told me there is no way to check this.

I think i'm ready to bump up the custom settings, or use some of the presets, but I don't want to do this too soon.

Any knowledge of this will be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if this helps, but I just bought the DU-42px12x (but not xc). It has not been installed on my wall yet (moving in 2 weeks), but in my simple DVD to TV on the floor test, it looked great. :D

I compared it in the store to the Panny th-42px50u (HD model) and it compared very favorably. I can give you the true test in 2 weeks if you can wait that long...

Anyone know of any good articulating wall mounts for a DU-37LZ30?

From the looks of the back of the unit, it looks like it would use a plasma mount, and I've not read anything in the LG manual about it being VESA compliant.

Anyone know if the 37LC2D will do 1:1 mapping with a HTPC? I saw the post that indicated the old models did not (through the PC input anyway...).

I'm interested in finding a 37" lcd capable of this...

Question regarding 50PX5D and SA 8300 STB

Regarding the settings on the STB, my installer states that I should only set 1080i on the box. Is this correct, and doesn't this defeat the purpose of the TV doing the proper scaling. If so, can someone tell me the correct setting for the STB & TV. On some SD channels, I have a 1/2 inch black vertical bar between the grey side bars and the picture on the left side only. Is this an issue with box. tv or is there a horizontal adjustment that can be made. Again, this only happens on certain SD channels.

Another thing I notice is on HD channels, I can go from normal to stretch to zoom 1 to zoom 2, but on SD it goes from normal to zoom 1, skipping stretch.

Any help on any of these issues will be a great help

Just found this thread.

The other day I saw a LG plasma at the local costco here in Vancouver, BC. I bellieve the model is LG 50PX2DC. It's a 2006 commercial model. Has anyone seen this unit, or own it?

mooshoo, I bought the 50PX2DC 2 weeks ago at Costco. It is awesome. I wanted a plasma television that could support HDMI for a reasonable price and the LG fits the bill.
I had the 42px12x for 3 months before Christmas and took it back (long story). When you compare a 42" to a 50" at home you will see that a 50 is the way to go.
I highly recommend this television.

Grieg,

So can you tell me more about the PQ? Will it handle 1080i signals via the component? Is the HDMI (HDCP compliant? What signals are you using now? HD material? I am currently looking at this model and the Pio 4214HD, but I've been hearing that Pio is not so good (poor black levels). Is yours calibrated? Do you get flickering at all when playing back scenes of bright objects transitioning to dark scene? If it really is a good deal, I'll prolly get rid of my Sony plasma (it has issues too). And lastly, where did you purchase yours?

Thank you

bump!!

I visited circuitcity yesterday, and they had the LG 42PC3D at the store. I thought it looked fantastic (both the TV itself and the pq). The price certainly seemed reasonable for a brick-and-morter store purchase *and* it was available interest free for 2.5 years. I could pay cash, but I would rather put that money to work in an investment for that amount of time.
Buying a luxury item "on credit" would be a first for me.

Here are my questions:
1) According to specs, this TV is far lighter than other plasmas of it's size (80 lbs). I why? or how?

2) This TV has "image retention minimization" which, I think, involves 3 different technologies. pixel oscillation, white screen, and reverse (negative) image. I'm not sure how they work or if they prevent actual "burn in" (rather than just the temporary retention). So is this technology already common in plasmas or is this feature new and effective?

Currently, I have a 27" SD TV (both the TV and image are icky)! Anything I get is going to be a major change.

Kelton

Aw shucks. I've posted some similar questions in different threads, but no responses. I'm not sure if it's because of it's newness or maybe my questions are too basic.

I'll be making up my mind in the next few days. The plasma looks great, but not sure if videogames and plasma are a good mix.

Kelton

Anyone had any luck with Powerstrip and the LZ30 models?

I just don't understand what the hell LG was thinking only allowing 4:3 resolutions for the PC inputs. Makes running MCE impossible.

I had used Powerstrip on one HTPC, ATI 9700Pro video card, and was able to get 1280x720, but I can't get my laptop, Nvidia 7800, to do anything but 1024x768.

Kelton
for one thing the new screen filter makes the panel lighter.

i think most plasmas have some or all of these. from what i read, image retention is the early stage of burn-in so it helps both.

:)

Thanks Borf!

np. we are going to pull the trigger on an LG here soon also......and as far as videogames with plasmas, iv'e given up on a solid conclusion because everybody has different opinions (check out the master burn-in thread). most people agree that 1) burn-in is exaggerated. 2) even so, if you play for more than a few hours every day plasma is a gamble. 3) even if you play occasionally you better keep an eye on it.

Can some one please explain the major differences between the 50PX5D and the 50PC3D?

I know that the 50PX5D has 1 more HDMI port and a cable card port but the 50PC3D has better picture options (anti image retention, viewing modes) from what it seems and it is $1300(MSRP) cheaper.

Am I missing something else here? Also does anyone know when the 50PC3D is going to be released?

Lucky66, I own the 50PX5D and trust me when I say you won't be dissappointed if you chose this plasma. One major advantage that the 50PX5D has over the 50PC3D is PIP, POP and split screen viewing. That may be the deal breaker for you right there. As you mentioned it also has one more HDMI input. On top of that the 50PX5D is from the previous model year, so chances are you'll see some major price breaks now if not very soon. As far as I see, both models employ the same anti-image retention measures and have the same viewing modes.

Moving on to the 50PC3D, the two shining features it has over the other model are 1) 60,000 hours to half brightness (30,000 on the 50PX5D) and 2) a 10,000:1 contrast ratio (5,000:1 on the 50PX5D). These two claims do offer a sense of increased value for the 50PC3D, however both of these claims' truthfullness can only be shown through extended ownership and the individual's subjective eyes.

LG, although looked down upon by the supposed "upper echelon" of PDP enthusiasts, offers great PQ and additional features found on more expensive sets. As far as your choices, it's pretty much win/win. Demo both sets and find which one pleases your eye (and your pocketbook).

Thanks for the info Mikefg830. Do you know if the 50PC3D will have a swivel stand?
I will definatly be considering both for sure and if the price on the 50PX5D drops that might very well do it for me.
I really dont know why everyone looks down on LG because when I saw it side by side with the similar Panasonic and Pioneer models I could not see much of a difference.
How long have you had your 50PX5D for? Any issues with it yet?

As far as I know the 50PC3D does not have a swivel stand. The 50PX5D does have one, but I ended up wall mounting mine for aesthetic reasons.

I've had my set for almost a month and haven't had any major problems with it at all. One minor gripe I had with the set was a barely noticeable green tint on lighter grays, which was easily rectified by hopping into the service menu. Also, the set is relatively heavy (50PC3D w/ stand 112 lbs. vs 50PX5D w/ stand 128 lbs.) and is about 3-4 inches wider than the 50PC3D.

The Best Buy in my area has the 50PC3D in stock, so I went over to take a look. Personally I like the cabinet design of the 50PX5D over the 50PC3D. The glossy black frame really gives it a great look. As far as PQ, the 50PC3D did look impressive. Toshiba, Phillips and Pioneer 50" sets were situated around it, and in my opinion the LG really stood out.

Thanks for the info Mikefg830!

Does anyone know why the 32 and 37LC2D are not listed on the LG website? I believe they are 2006 models but can't be found on the site. What are peoples opion of the 37LCD2? I am debating between this and the new Samsung models. Any thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Well, I was going to tell you to use the links in the first post in this thread. But the links don't seem to be working for these models. Getting to the correct page on the various LG sites can be a problem. Try this link for the LG LCDs (http://us.lge.com/products/category/list/tv|audio|video_lcd%20flat%20panel.jhtml) .

I've been seriously considering the LG-RU42PZ71 (EDTV) or the LG-RU42PZ61 (HDTV), but am not quite willing to pull the trigger due to price. I really like the 5000:1 contrast ratio and CC display models look great! I've been monitoring the Vizio-P42HD thread (see threadid 462259) which appears to be a decent 42" HDTV with 3000:1 contrast ratio set at a very, very competitive price at SAM"s and Costco. One of the more recent posts reveals that the Vizio components have "LGE PDP" stamped on the ciruit boards. Could the Vizio unit actually be an LG Plasma display manfactured in China and repackaged under the Vizio name?

The contast ratio on the Vizio is 10,000:1. It also uses an LG Singlescan panel. Can't beat it for the $$ . So far very happy with mine. :)

I can verify the LG panel as you can look through the vent holes on the back of the unit and see the LG stickers on the panel.

Has anyone seen the 50PC3D panels yet? How do they look? My local store has not got any in yet but some stores about 1hr away have. Just wanted to ask around before I drive to take a look? Also does anyone know if it looks like the 50PX5D with an all black finish? And does it have a swivel stand? It is hard to see from the picture on the LG website.

I have the 32 lc2d and am very impressed with this set. HD shows are beautiful. Analog channels look way better than I expected and the sound is very good. However, I went back to the store to have another look at the samsumg lns-3251d. Now, I think the Sammy has a better picture (deeper blacks) but it does't have a QAM tuner! I need that option. Plus I don't like the glossy bezel. The LG's staight lines are very clean looking. For the money (shop the internet) , the LC2D series is nice compromise.

Updated so the links work to LG's new website format.

I just purchased the LG 50PC1DRA based mostly on in store side-by-side comparisons as there is not much by way of user history on the web since the sets just came out. However, I kept feeling that the LG's picture was superior to the Panasonic (50PX500U, 50PX50U, 50PX60U and 50PHD8U), as well as the 50" Samsungs and Fujitsu's believe it or not.

While I'll have no need for the built in DVR as I use DirecTV, I still opted for the more expensive 50PC1DRA over LG's comparable model without the DVR, the 50PC3D, for several reasons. Most notably because I think the all black finish on the 50PC1DRA looks much better than the black & gray of the 50PC3D, but also because the 50PC1DRA has LG's new 14 Bit color processor and two HDMI outputs as opposed to one.

I'll post another entry after I have it all set up.

Where did you get your 50PC1DRA? I've been trying to find one to get a look at it in person. Did it cost much more than the DR?

I have been looking to buy a LG model 32LC2D

There does not seem to be that many posts about ANY LG LCD models on AVS forums. Comparing the post counts and threads.

Is this becuase the LG models do not have very many issues and people are on the other threads looking for help or is it becuase LG is new in the LCD market and just came out with new 2006 models.

How does LG compare to the new Samsung or Sharps? Is it true that LG makes Zeniths panels?

I have the 32lc2d and am very happy with it. I've had sony 32xbr and the sammy 3251 both in my home to compare. The Sony definitely has the best picture, but I could not justify the price. The new samsung has better blacks than the lg, but not by much. In my opinion the lg was a nice comprise for my needs. I bought it online at a great price, I probably wouldn't own this set if had to pay retail at a big box store.

I though the 32lcd was the nicest looking cosmetic wise, I wish the stand would swivel and the remote is a little stiff. The onscreen menus are large and easy to navigate, it is a pretty straight forward TV. The HD picture has a stunning look, it is almost jumps out at you, very 3-D. SD is probably as good as it gets, regular satellite is average. DVD's look pretty good. All in all, this is the type of TV that stands up really well if you can find it at a little bit of a discount.

I went to the store again. I like the LG with the HD Zoom and QAM tuner, but I thought the Samsung LNS3251D had a better picture.

Could it be the store had the TV set wrong. What Picture mode should I use to compare with?

The blacks are a little better on the samsung. For the extra money though, I don't think it's that much better.

I've been looking at the LG 50PC1DRA and I have a question. When a TV has a built-in DVR do you still need to subscribe to some sort of service like TiVo to utilize it?

Any comments on the LG 50PC1DRA? I thought the picture looked great in the store and it's awesome looking aesthetically. I really want the 60U Panny based on reputation but it is so unbelievably ugly that I just don't think I can do it.

Comments?

I noticed in the Brochure for the new LG 32" & 37" LC2D's that they show 3/2 Cinematic pulldown for 480i sources only. Most companies list it as YES / NO. Either it has it or not. Does anyone else find this odd?

Mntneer.regarding the 1:1 mapping question.
I am new on this forum but earlier today I thought I saw a response telling you how to effect an appropriate result., I meant to book mark it as I am interested in the outcome a I am about to purchase a LG37LC2D.
Now I cant find that answer...did you see it and can you link me to it??
thanks

Hey, I bought the LG 37 about 3 months ago, and have loved it. However, on three different occasions (over the past 2 months) I have turned it on and the picture is completely distorted and there is a high pitched sound coming out of the speakers. The first time it happened, I turned off the TV and then turned it back on and it was gone. Didn't think much of it. The second time, it wouldn't go away so I called customer service and they thought it was the Dish Satellite causing it. So I unplugged both the TV and the Dish, plugged them back in and it went away. Now the 3rd time, I unplugged every dang thing connected to the TV, the dish, the wall outlets, the DVD player, CD player, Reciever, etc..... and it didn't resolve the problem. I have the repair man coming out in a couple of days. Anyone know what is causing this or have had the same thing happen? I am starting to think I got a POS, that or my luck with TV's is the worst.

Thanks,

I have a 32LX3DCS with a LST4100A PPV box installed this is a commerical 32 inch LCD tv with the ppv box... it was my friends companys tv ( sports bar ) and he upgraded to 52 inch plasmas. anyhow I got the tv ad it worked great.. but all of a sudden, it stops working... sometimes the picture continues or it freezes, and I loose function of all the controls.. No remote control or tv button control... on/off volume, channel buttons DO NOT WORK... any ideas?

Any reviews from users of the 42LB1DRA?

no one?

Not sure if you bought this, but I just bought one.

No, you don't have to subscribe to any other service. It's completely self contained. It works with the TV Guide listings the unit pulls down from CATV and OTA. The TV Guide will NOT work with Satellite providers. Therefore, if you have Satellite, the DVR will be of limited value (ie: Manual recording set-up only).

The hard drive appears to be easily accessible from the back of the set. Looks like you can easily pull it and replace with a larger one.

Does any one know anything about the 26LC2D I was thinking about getting it?

Hello all,

I just recently won the LG 42PM1M at my holiday party (lucky me).

I am thinking of hooking this up to a computer with TV out. I am complete noob when it comes to plasma, but I have heard there could be potential burn in issues...

Anyone have this model or similar and have it hooked up to a computer? Or any insight as to whether or not I can do what I am trying to do??

Thanks in advance!

The hard drive appears to be easily accessible from the back of the set. Looks like you can easily pull it and replace with a larger one.

I was just searching the forums to try to find this out. Has anyone treid this out, or read about it? I see there is some format type option in the menus, so I was thinking of trying a 500GB hard drive to see if I could boost my record capacity. I dont know what type of drive it takes or if it would work.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Question...I don't know if this is the best place for it (but I searched!)

I have an LG DU-37LZ30 LCD television. The HD works great on antenna, but using my Motorola DVR (DCT6416 III) the HD channels will not expand to cover the whole screen. I can zoom them in, but toggling the aspect ratio on the television and the DVR doesn't help. There are black bars on all four sides. It's clearly in Hi-def, just tiny and centered. I've been through every possible scenario with the cable company. Also, FYI, the universal remote with the DVR is incompatible with my LG TV. Is this just a compatibility issue I'll have to live with?

I'm an amateur at this. Don't reply with big words.

Dustin,

It sounds like either your TV or DVR is incorrectly set. Double check that your aspect ratios are set up thru the menu of each unit for 16x9. Does the DVR upscale? If so, try resetting it to allow native resolution out. When I get a non-480i PPV movie thru my external tuner (LG 3510a), it comes out with black borders when upscaling is enabled. When I change it to native or variable out, then the signal fills the screen.

Hello,
I've been searching on this forum but couldn't find any post on calibration setting for the RU-42PZ61. If anyone has a good calibration setting, please post.

Thanks

Robert:

I noticed that the model listing ends with 2006, and that the posts here have trailed off... Is this an abandoned thread? For the record, I recently purchased an 37LC7D, which we love.

Robert. ( I hope your still around)
Its good to see you are a LG man.
I have a LG here in Australia model 71SA1D and I am very happy with it, I have the service manual which comes in handy but very few in Oz country and by the look at it the US have these 71 inch LCoS monsters.
What I would like to know is the Convergence adjustments are very coarse so in other words my RED Horz is say 1.5 mm low and if I adjust it just one adjustment
it throws it 1.5 MM on the other side of the Green and Blue. I have adjusted heaps of rear projection sets for friends of LG and other brands in CRT or DLP and all of them have a small jump between adjustments so you can get it or better still adjust the colour you want spot on but when you adjust the 71SA1D this cannot be done.
It would be good if this set had a fine adjustment for the convergence as I'm trying to get it 100% spot on. Am I missing something, Forget LG in Australia as they know twat ( Nothing) Any help would be appreciated.

Robert,

I need some help with the 42LB1dra. My unit is very sensitive to heat. After powering the unit on for 10-15 minutes, the digital picture starts to break up and then it goes out. I need to help with trouble shooting and where to find replacement parts.

Thanks
