CUSTOMER REVIEWS OF THE LG 42" 42LK450 1080p 60 Hz LCD HDTV

5 out of 5

"Great TV, Great Price"

By milheim05

Pros: Picture quality, ease of setup, and surprisingly strong speakers

The picture is fantastic for standard definition cable. Looking forward to upgrading to HD in the near future.

I was warned about the speakers on new LCD/LED TVs and I was actually quite surprised with these. Though audiophiles will notice they're not the best quality, it's the volume I was worried about and these don't disappoint.

"Great open box deal"

By luvsElectronics

Pros: Quality picture

I've always enjoyed LG TVs and this one worked great out of the box. I installed it in 15 minutes to my mother-in-law's audio system, DVR, and DVD player. Very good quality and my mother-in-law loves it.

"Everything I need"

By MisterMinister

Pros: Picture, sound, price, and size.

This TV is awesome for the price. Good speakers, great picture and features, and just the right size without being too massive. The only thing I have against this TV is that there is no audio out other than the optical audio. There is no analog (red and white) audio out, so my current surround sound system is useless unless I get a converter. Other than that, there are plenty of inputs for whatever you have. Overall, I'm very pleased.
