LG 42LB5820 - Reviews/feedback

Hi,

The invoice price is 43.5K(47.5-4k for CRT TV exchange).I purchased it using citibank card, so there is an additional cash back of 2K.

I received the magic remote as part of the package.
On day of purchase flipkart product webpage mentioned Webcam as accessory list.However it was an error on their webpage and the camera has to be purchased seperately :sad:
The installataion guy quoted 4K for the LG webcam. Tried using a normal webcam but the TV did not detect it.

Picture quality is good however i feel that samsung/Sony has deeper Black levels.
Few more pointers.
1. The wifi signal is weak compared to my laptop/Mobile at the same location(2 bars vs 4 bars in mobile).Enquired with the service guy, but could not resolve the issue.

2. Youtube playing was smooth when playing youtube from browser than from app. Service person said that the app streams from the LG server and not directly from Google servers.

3.The service guy did not have any clue about OS upgrade.

Future Upgrades planned.
1. Planning to purchase Belkin Surge protector. I already have UPS backup at home(Luminous 900 VA)

2. Need to upgrade the SD Set-top box. Confused about Airtel/Tata Sky/SunDirect (majorly for Telugu /Tamil channels).

3.Purchase Google TV once it is available fro pre-order in USA.

Will update on the wall mount.
Hi, Can you tell me about lg 2nd display feature. can we watch tv in android mobile/tablet(using lg app) with tv in standby mode or tv needs to be running to get this feature
 
I am in the process of replacing my aging 29" CRT Samsung. Have more or less zeroed in on this model from LG.

The published specs does not mention the viewing angle or the video format/s it can handle. Can anyone update me on this.
 
I have been using it for past 9 months. It can play almost all video formats. However while watching DTS HD Master or Dolby True HD coded movies from the LG USB Port, the AVR only shows as DTS or Dolby DD. The same show as is while watching through bluray player USB port. This does not significantly alter the quality, but just what I noticed to share here.

Hi Folks,

I am planning to buy this LG LED TV. Could anyone let me know about the sound quality? My major preference is the sound quality for voice and so I am confused between this one and Sony TVs. Please suggest which one should I go for.

Thanks!

How is AVR connected to TV ? via digital optical out?
