I purchased this LG 42LH50 while using the idea it may retire to my bedroom after a whilst with a larger replacement – thus I didn't go top with the line (250hz LED,etc). Though I was pleasantly amazed while using clean appearance, ease of set up, good picture, excellent sound (for a Tv), and also the broadband/netcast attributes are good. I've a Blu-ray player that allows me to stream netflix, although not having to turn on that device and be able to stream netflix directly to this Tv is often a nice feature. Via use of USB (or I can only assume, NAS Storage device by way of ethernet) you are able to watch downloaded Television shows/Movies with ease. (playback of avi, mpeg, mkv, etc) As well as view photos and play music. 120hz is often a tiny surreal at times but that's true with any Television – although it looks excellent on sports – I've also noticed on some HD channels that are identified to knock out ever other frame (ABC…) the 120hz at LOW setting seems to smooth back the playback a little. However I usually have it turned off. the 24p Cinema mode, when coupled with a blu-ray player gives a good smooth playback. Dynamic contrast and “Eye Care” settings are very good for watching movies within the dark without having scenes that go so bright they blind you. I was astonished by the quality in the audio coming from the built in speakers. The 'invisible speaker' stuff this Television touts is in fact nice, you can find no visible speakers on the unit, yet it sounds full. Granted heavy bass does drop out – but that is one on the initial TV's I've been comfortable listening to the audio from directly. (Minus the old school Monster projector TVs while using the 10 speakers below the screen). Even though I have this set up by way of optical cable to my 5.1 Surround – the week or 2 I didn't have that set up I wasn't cringing at bad sound. The cost doesn't drop as low as the 42LH40 or LH30 value – but with all the added functions on the broadband and netcast, I don't regret spending the extra cash. I got the Television in late January for $799 shipped. This is my first fullsized LCD display – I can't say its 'The Best' but for the price tag, attributes, and overall high quality – I feel this product inside range of similar projects holds true – which is why I gave it a 5 Star rating.
