ros:
1. The menu system looks nice and is very easy. No confusion even for the most tech ignorant user.
2. Energy saver feature is nice, maybe a little gimicky but nice.
3. Very light weight and easy to install.
4. 4 HDMI inputs are great.
5. Physical appearance in-home is very nice.
6. HD picture is amazing unless very fast motion is involved (see below).
Cons
1. Standard definition picture can be poor. This was almost always remedied by putting the picture on “Game” mode.
2. Fast motion does result in blurring. It’s not all the time and usually only lasts a split-second but it can be VERY noticeable. This is not my first HD TV but is my fist LCD. I expected much less blurring for 120HZ but to be honest, don’t know how much blurring could be considered normal for an LCD. So far I have only experienced the blurring with TV and movies both through the cable box and my AppleTV. My Xbox 360 seemed fine but I have only tried 2 games, neither of which were sports games. I have not yet tested PS3 or BluRay.
This next thing could be considered good or bad. For me, it is a plus.
The TV uses “TrueMotion” which will drastically change the way movies and shows appear. If you look-up judding or anti-judding on google you’ll find out exactly what this means. In short, you’ll notice camera pans and movements that you would’ve never noticed before. I actually like it and feel like it makes the picture more realistic however, it can change the way a director intended for a scene to be shown. Also, I know some people that really hate anti-judding. As I said earlier, I like it. I’m not sure if this can be avoided if you don’t use any of the 3 picture modes but plan to test that soon.
LG 42LH40 was kind of an inpulse purchase. I was planning to buy a 42″ LCD that matched most of these specs. However, I walked into the store just to see what they had and do some research or see what they had as an open-box deal. This TV’s picture stood out among the others and looked better than many TV that were more expensive and would be considered nicer. Obviously, the LED TVs blew this away but that’s a given. I’m pretty happy but I do have a little buyers remorse due to the blurring. However, for your average joe that’s just gonna throw this up on a wall, that may not be a concern. As a long-time Samsung fan, a small part of me wishes that I just held out and picked one of those.
I think the price-point makes this an over-all good purchase. That’s essentially what drove me to make the impulse buy in the first place. I do have to admit though, I feel like the old saying, “you get what you pay for” applies with this TV….and that isnt such a bad thing.
