Brilliant!,
by Christos D., 2010-09-09
Great picture quality; easy setup with cable feed; simple, good looking lines; good quality of plastics.
I am impressed with this LG product (my first LG).
I have not tried the wireless networking capabilities of this TV as they require a non-included accessory (~$50), and this is not the main TV in the house. But it is good to have the option to network it in the future.
Overall, this was a great value at $699.
This TV is great!!,

When I was looking for a TV I came across the 42LD550. This is the first time buy an LG product so I was a little worried that it was just going to be crappy. It turns out that it is a good TV has excellent picture, and sound. It beats pay $3,000+ for an LED TV.

Received a good price for this TV, and it presents an excellant picture and sound. It was delivered quickly and the carrier brought it into the house and did the basic set up, plus removing all discarded packaging.
Excellent TV for the price,

I have owned this TV for a couple of months now and have enjoyed it immensely. I love the ability to stream Netflix and Vudu from the TV without an additional box involved and the wireless dongle has excellent signal pickup.The TV gives the user the ability to automatically adjust the picture quality for the ambient light conditions in the room and it also has a very robust set of color and sharpness controls. One down side is it only gives the blue color range, brightness and contrast, no red or green.
With multiple HDMI (4) inputs, composite connections, and a digital optical out, the TV has plenty of options for just about anyone.
What an Upgrade!,
by Jon R, 2010-09-02
I saw this TV model in stores, and really was impressed with the picture quality.
I got on Amazon and was even more impressed with the price it was available at.
I'm now extremely pleased with my purchase. What an upgrade from a 27" 4:3 CRT television, even though I considered that CRT to be really good quality in the picture department. I'm using this TV in a room that gets a lot of daylight via a large patio door. Glare is not an issue, and so much better than with the old CRT.
Sound is pretty good through the built in speakers, although I spend most of the time watching with the sound run through a separate sound system.
The Internet "widgets" are just fluff to me, and I haven't used them. My other equipment already support Netflix and Pandora, which are the two things I ever want to use via my home theater. But I really don't feel like I paid extra for them being on the TV, as other TV's without them, but with comparable reviews to this model, were not significantly different in price.
I like to fiddle with settings, and have to say one thing I wish was better is documentation about all the picture settings available on this TV. There are many settings if you care to dig into them, but the manual does not explain all of them very well. There are also some settings that aren't always available (visible, but grayed out in the menu), but no explanation as to why is given in the manual. But there is a "Picture Wizard" tool built in to the TV, which got the picture pretty close to what I wanted, and I was able to get it the rest of the way on my own.
Overall, I don't think one can go wrong with this television. For the price point, I think it's a winner.
