Vikki, Fareham

+ A good looking television with a clear picture and good sound.The swivel base is surprisingly useful and the tv set up screens are easy to navigate.

- It doesn't seem to be compatable with sky as despite getting a huge list of codes from both sky and LG there is no code to get the LG tv to work using the sky remote control and so you have to use the sky remote to select the channel and the LG control for volume etc.

Stephen, Middlesbrough

+ This is a great TV for a great price. The saying goes, "you get what you pay for", well LG seem to deliver a lot more for your money than some of their competitors. It is in no way a budget model (in terms of quality) for it given place in the market. The contrast ratio is really great in all light conditions, colours are all displayed well. When I saw it in the shop I was slightly worried about the intensity of primary colours (red faces...etc). On getting it delivered though it has two settings for shops and homes; the home setting is good and realistic out-of-the-box. It seems to upscale pictures really well (especially from digital TV, less good on DVD). Sound is won’t blow you away, but it isn’t rubbish either. Most people will have their own surround speakers anyway. Speakers are hidden away (not sure why this is so important but apparently this is part of the design).

- The intelligent sensor for different light conditions is excellent but I wish it wouldn't flash "Intelligent Sensor" across the bottom of the screen everytime it is adjusting. A truly 'intelligent' sensor should be invisible. That said, it works. I'm disappointed that some DVDs seem to have the top/bottom blacklines of widescreen, even though this is a widescreen TV. I'm not sure if this is the TV not detecting the aspect correctly or my DVD player but it would have nice to have a better more adjustable zoom as I cannot get rid of these on any aspect setting for some films.

+ As a 71 year old luddite I found this product to be very easy to assemble and set up.

- Like all digital tvs it wont show text only - half the screen is taken up with picture while I am trying to read ceefax or teletext news. If someone can tell me how to get full screen text I'd be happy to learn.

Bev, Leeds , “Yorkshire woman”

+ Speakers, etc don't take up valuable space - they're hidden behind the screen. Easy to use. Graphic equalizer is good - pretty excellent, really, for a flat screen TV. We were going to invest in a home cinema system, but may not do so due to the good sound quality.

- Shiny black plastic frame / surround looks cheap. It also attracts dust like a magnet. A matt finish would have been much better.

Ian, Brampton Huntingdon

+ Very easy to set up with on screen display. lots of information on the dvd manual supplied. Sound quality is very good from the built in speaker system, you would however need extra speakers if you are a heavy base fanatic. Image quality is excellent with just a few slight adjustments needed to customise to your own requrements.This is my second LG tv and I would buy LG in the future.Very good value for money.

- I cant think of any at the moment, I have had the TV just over a month.

John, Chesterfield

+ small surround (more picture less case) very unobtrusive front on/off control; ( unlesss you know where it is you probably wont even find it!)

- taks rather a long time to change channels. Can be confusing having two channel 1s ( one digital one analogue) On changing channel it tells you what the new channel is called (bbc 1 etc) but not what program is showing (though iit does have that information available via a separate button)

+ Having never owned a LCD TV before I researched a lot through this site and others, finally deciding on the LG 32LG5010 and it doesn't dissapoint. Design is fantastic and image clear as day. Ok there is better but you will pay more. For value for money it is perfect and everything you want from a TV. Without doubt it would be one of the best in its price group.

- None I can find yet, some dont like the dust it gathers but 10 seconds wipes it with the cloth provided.

+ Good value, specification & menus especailly what's on guide.
Minimal surround around the screen helps it not to dominate the room.

- Nothing that significant. No completly off switch so have to switch off at socket so as not to be on stand by. The sound is more than adiquate but not impresive but if your serious about sound you would connect to a surround system which is what I plan to do.
