If you own a PS3 and want to connect it to this TV, DON'T BUY THIS TV. I also have issues with the PS3 Blu-ray player even with Composite cables. from Amazon.com I found that out of the box the picture was very poor, tried all the preset picture modes (Vivid, Standard, Cinema etc) still crap. However, once I adjusted the individual settings, i.e. turned the sharpness way down and modified colour and backlight, the picture was outstanding. from Amazon.com I ordered this TV based on the reviews and I was disappointed. The TV was fuzzy in spots, but not enough for me to be sure it was defective. from Amazon.com This is the first HD tv I have ever purchased, but I have lived with roommates for over 4 years that have owned HD tvs the entire time. I am very satisfied with the picture on this TV (for the price). from Amazon.com This TV is fantastic. We used it at our trade show booth with an LG Blu-Ray disk player and the video and sound quality was tremendous. from Amazon.com This was my first purchase of a TV this large. Let me tell you, after carefully researching, I am ecstatic about my new set! from Amazon.com This tv is great. I have not seen such clearer picture in my life. from Amazon.com I had lowered my expectations of all HDTVs after reading some negative customer reviews of Sony and Samsung on Amazon. Thus, the LG turned out to be more than satisfactory to me. My wife and children, who had not participated in the shopping research, found the set very impressive. from Amazon.com I bought this TV 13 days ago at an HHGREGG for $899 plus tax. I had done a lot of internet research and it sounded like a good TV and had everything I wanted. from Amazon.com It's not because we have been using a 20" tube tv for the last year or so... I have plenty of friends who have upgraded to flat panel tv's. from Amazon.com
