 Nice enough TV, but no headphone jack Jul 24, 2010
I bought this TV online, but even if I hadn't, I probably wouldn't have thought to check for a headphone jack. Pretty much all TVs since the 1990s have had headphone jacks, right? Of course it would have one.
I need a headphone jack because, frankly, my wife can't always agree on what we'll watch, so sometimes I watch and listen with headphones while she watches on the web, or vice versa. We listen with headphones so as not to disturb the other in the same room. Or sometimes one of us will want to sleep before the other -- that's another common reason for headphones.
Not only that -- the lack of a headphone jack or other easy low tech output means this TV cannot be hooked up to a normal, old-fashioned stereo. You can hook up 5.1 but not a stereo system.
This TV has a ton of very fancy connections. HDMI, which we don't really use. A computer screen input, which we do use frequently to watch streaming video -- Netflix streaming looks really fantastic on this TV. USB inputs for listening to MP3s or looking at photos, which we also use and enjoy. There is a lot of high tech stuff here, and we really like the TV overall.
But if I had known that for all its technologically advanced inputs and outputs, it lacked the simple headphone jack, I would have kept looking. In the future, I certainly will keep looking. I actually don't need 5.1. I need a simple solution developed in the 1960s, and this doesn't give me that. There is no way to watch this TV without making noise. Maybe that has fallen out of fashion, but sometimes it remains a handy thing to be able to do.

 All you need is love and a 720P Plasma Apr 19, 2010
What can I say? This TV is amazing.
As the title of this review says, all you need in this world is a 720P Plasma TV and some loved ones to accompany you.
Just like most tech savvy, net savvy guys I did lot of research about Plasma Vs LCD Vs LED.
While you can google all the good, bad and ugly about Plasma Vs LCD, one major factor for me was Color...rather colors.
I want to see colors as they should. Black should be Black, Red should be Red etc.
Plasmas are way ahead in color clarity and smooth motion.
-ve: Plasma screen has high glare. If you are watching it in a brightly lit room then pump up the brightness and contrast.
Then comes 1080P Vs 720P. I would go for 1080P if I am not paying more bucks over a 720P.
I read a lot on net about 1080/720 stuff and came to a conclusion that
when you watch the TV from a decent distance (at least 6ft), you cannot tell the difference.
Moreover all the HD broadcast over cable is just 720P.
The bottom line is that if you are saving some bucks go for 720P.
Tell your friends that its a 1080P and they will praise it.
Tell them its a 720P, they will say that they can see some difference compared to their 1080P.
Well talking about this particular model:
This is my first LG product.....and it did not disappoint.
Excellent appearance, superb colors, amazing clarity.
It has all the possible inputs and outputs you will ever need.
Beside the obvious 3HDMI, 2 AV, s-video, component etc., the most imp one for me is the optical out with surround sound.
Optical out was not mentioned in their specs.
This connection saved me from buying a receiver system.
Connect all video inputs to your TV, send sound output of TV to your home theater.
The sound from TV is good for normal viewing. I turn on the sound system for movies and music.
There is a newer sleeker model from LG to replace this model...go for it.
LG is my new fav.

Very Good Buy! Nice Color Feb 06, 2010
Got it last x-mas... so far so good...Very nice TV! Overall 5 stars!!!
The only bad thing I found is the USB port on it quite useless... Doesn't recognize my cannon sd780is which I think is popular camera. Also tried a 2gb thumb drive with no luck. Another thing is the only output on it is a optical for audio, that's it, no video or coax audio. Other then that thumbs up.
LG is a good brand so I Knew it was going to be a good buy.
Go for it!

LG Plasma review Jan 30, 2010
This TV has a great picture. When watching in HD, the picture is simply stunning. This is only a 720P set, yet I can she minute details on the faces of people. Excellent in a darker room. The one thing that this TV lacks is some kind of glare reducer. If one can put the set in a place avoiding sunlight, it would be absolutely perfect
Very Happy with my Purchase Jan 30, 2010
I was worried about buying a big ticket item on line, but with quick delivery, easy set up and a fine product, I receieved a great price and I am very satisfied with my TV. LG 42PQ30 42-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV
