# Buy LG 32LH30 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Gloss Black 32LH30

 I don’t have a Blu-ray player yet, but DVDs look fantastic through HDMI. I appreciated the array of appropriate options for aspect ratio and display. SD TV is rather ugly, but that’s to be expected. That said, there is a noise reduction feature which cleans up the SD signals very nicely. Hooked up the Wii through component cables at 480p–looks nice. I also love the fact that I can hook it up to my laptop and make use of every last 1080p pixel. There is an auto-adjustment feature in the picture menu that can align your VGA output to fit the TV if it comes up off-center at first. One gripe here is that the TV doesn’t seem to auto-detect my VGA connection like it does with HDMI, component, etc… you have to manually use the directional arrows to select VGA from the input menu. It works, even though it appears to be grayed out.

Overall, the menus are very logical and easy to use. I was especially happy (and surprised) by the simplicity of the remote control, and the directional keys have a nice feel to them. Switching between inputs is a breeze, and the ability to add labels to the inputs in the selection menu (appropriate pictorial representations included) is a great feature. I love that it detects which inputs have something plugged in and lists them first. It’s so easy the rest of my family can actually use it without having to call me to help

Sound seems very good for a flat-panel. It has good clarity and surprisingly deep bass. The bass doesn’t cause the set to rattle at all, which is a plus. It’s nothing awe-inspiring, but it sounded better than most of the other brands at the store.

It’s also a beauty, design-wise. Assuming it continues to be reliable, I highly recommend it.

A great buy for a 1080p TV. This TV has tons of features to adjust the picture. The picture wizard didn’t do much for me, but the expert menus are great. Each input on the TV has its own picture settings, which is both a blessing and a curse. Blacks could be deeper (especially at angles), but can be enhanced significantly with the proper settings. Despite reviews that I’ve read, I think blacks are actually superior to most LCD TVs in its class when set correctly. No dead or stuck pixels. My only gripe is that there are some uniformity issues. There are some very faint vertical bars across the LCD where the image is slightly darker. These are only really visible out of the corner of your eye during scenes with moving backgrounds. They’re mostly visible with blue hues and when viewing from off-angles.

Best in Class for This Size and Price – B. V. Dam – California, USA
After tons of research I decided on this maker and model and I love this TV. I agree with other reviewers that the blacks are not as black as they could be but most LCD’s in this size category have the same issue. It has not diminished my satisfaction.

PROS
Excellent picture quality
Vivid colors without being over saturated
No noticeable blurring or pixelation
Blue Ray Movies in 1080 look incredible
SUPER simple setup. When you first turn it on, it automatically guides you thru the setup…(no manual needed here)
We have basic cable and the autoscan found over 40 channels I never knew we had (music and HD)
Excellent on screen menus that make adjusting picture, sleep mode, etc. easy (within days you can access without even looking at the remote)
Everything on it feels solid, no jiggly buttons or inferior feel, even the remote is well made
Excellent styling. This unit is just nice to look at. Smooth lines, clean and modern.

CONS
Ability to produce deep blacks as stated above
Nearly all TV’s regardless of what you spend have weak stock speakers so I rate sound as good but not great. Fine for TV, get external speakers for movies.

All in all this is high value: A great 32″ 1080P LCD for under 0. All other models in the sub-0/0 category come with sacrifices (some serious).
