    Have to disagree totally with the above, Amazon returns and customer service are excellent, its pixmania that sucks.

    Anyway, great tv for the price, shame it doesn't have freeview hd but won't be missed if you have sky or virgin box

    I just returned a 37 inch tv to amazon, it was picked up the next day and the refund email sent within 5 days for the full amount minus 2.50.

    Yes those flat screens are nonsense too, nothing wrong with an enormous CRT light box taking up half your room... are you from 1984? 90% of my TV use is via my computer.

    got this last week at £469, not even delivered yet and its £30 less..typical

    That's a LCD TV. for roughly £20 more u could get a LED TV.




    This TV has been £430 at 123electrical with free delivery and cashback since before christmas.

    I went to see it on display and im glad I did, the picture is shocking compared to the Samsungs on display, poor blacks, irregular backlighting, washed out colours, no fine detail. If you want a thin TV get this, if you want a decent TV, don't. Ended up going to RS and getting the 40C580 with Freeview HD and DLNA for the same price (£430). Note the LED also suffer from clouding issues and the HDMI sockets stick out the back of this set meaning you'd need to hang in over an inch away from the wall (if you were considering hanging it)

    15% Quidco at Best Buy would make the Samsung LE40C580 mentioned above around £360. Very tempted at that price.

    They sent me a new TV and gave me a month to send the old one back (at their expense) before they would change me, I used the packaging of the new one for the old one, as I had discarded it after 3 weeks, and the TV broke after 4 weeks. I'd say 10/10.

    Anyone know the console lag time for this?



    Better than LCD, but still not very good at all. Only the high end LCD/LED sets have reasonably good gaming performance.

    Still better off with a cheap Panny plasma imo.

    Isnt 200hz or Freesat HD or Sky HD built in or PS3 built in - voting cold

    I would personally go for the NX503 if I were you Jason. Most decent LCD CCFL panels will outperform the lower end LED backlit panels.

    What an absolutely ridiculous price for a 42" LED TV.

    Reviews are all excellent, I just wish I could a) justify swapping my adequate 40" sony lcd and b) had the money.

    Hot.

    So tempting.
    I have an empty TV stand at the moment.
    My only concern is going smaller. I had a 50" on the stand and dont want to think it looks odd.
    Brilliant price though, nice find. Heat added!

    Reviews are all excellent,



    Do you have any links to them please? I've searched google and only get test freaks which has 3 (all foreign) and amazon's user opinions.

    Thanks

    If anyone can help, the main thing I am trying to find is the input lag for gaming. Thanks

    DOES NOT HAVE DLNA … DOES NOT HAVE DLNA http://www.richersounds.com/product/led-tv/lg/42le4500/lg-42le4500


    Nice spot, also just read the amazon user opinions and someone in there also states that even though amazon lists it with DLNA, it actually hasn't.
  20. jamesdew's avatar
    Excellent price, but the info posted seems to be generic LG TV information not specific to this TV. As another poster stated there is no DNLS, it doesn't have an ethernet port or wifi so it can't have DNLA.

    Not that lack of DNLA is a vital feature (at least not for me I have a media centre) just dont want anyone getting mislead based on the description

    Another poster has said that it only has 2 HDMI sockets.

    I bought the 42" LG for £395 before Christmas, is the fact that this is an edge lit LED and has better contrast ratio of significant difference?
  23. erroll's avatar
    Any chance this is going to get near the Sony KDL40NX703 I have my heart set on?

    hdtvtest.co.uk/new…htm

    I opted to go with the LE 42LD450 because of the better gaming response times. From reading other reviews around the LG LED range it seems they are pretty laggy for games. And i play more games than watch films. So that's the deal breaker.

    They also have the Philips 40PFL5605H/05 40" LED TV for the same price.
