I purchased this TV based on the fact that I love my older 37 inch LG LCD tv. However I have found that while this is a good tv, its not great. The viewing angle is not as good as my older LG. As you move left or right the color fades (in HD or SD) especially with live tv (ie sports). Head-on the picture is pretty good with a variety of color/picture settings to fine-tune it. I have also found that you do have to crank the volume pretty high to hear the tv as well. If you are looking for a small TV to put in a bedroom where you will always be watching it head-on, for the money, its a pretty good choice. In my case, I do have it in the bedroom, but I have it mounted on the wall with a full-motion mount so I can turn it if I am not watching head-on.

I bought this locally in Dec 2009 and naïvely assumed it had SOME sort of analog output (for external speakers or headphones). It doesn't; the only audio output is optical/TOSlink, which is a real disappointment for me.
VIDEO
Unless you will use it as a computer monitor, the 720p resolution is fine; with smaller televisions (under 32", for sure), there is little difference between 720p and the more expensive 1080p (which is hard to find in small televisions, anyway). Anything you use as a computer monitor should be 1080p, though. I actually feed it UHF (analog) over coax from a distant two-tuner Dish Network receiver, and the picture, while not HD, is much better than I expected, and this means I don't have to rewire my house for a 3rd satellite receiver. We watch this in the bedroom - usually news or a documentary and not movies, so it's all good. Oh, one more thing: s-video is increasingly rare on new televisions, and this model does NOT have an s-video input (2 HDMI, 1 composite only).
AUDIO
The sound quality, like that of pretty much any small television, is dismal. I ended up buying Behringer MS40 external speakers (which I reviewed here on Amazon) because they had TOSlink (optical) inputs. They were expensive and not that great.
So, if you will be closer to the television than 10' or more, or have excellent hearing in a quiet environment, this is a fine set; if you are more discerning on the audio side, will be in a less-than-silent environment, or don't have ideal hearing, you might want to think twice and look at units with analog outputs which will enable you to use an inexpensive pair of self-powered computer speakers.

This is a very nice TV for the bedroom. Great picture and sound. SD channels even look good. I use it for both OTA and satellite reception. Setup was very easy for me. Wish it had more than one each of component and composite inputs, but overall I still give it a five. Ordered from Amazon with free shipping and it arrived in 3 days.

I would give this 5 stars if it had a real user manual. The file provided on a disk is only a color version of the B&W manual. The set has a lot of potential custom-setup options and few are documented. I'm quite experienced and managed to figure out most of them, but would have appreciated more information. I bought this for my 80 year old mother and she'll never figure out what to do if anything goes wrong, because the company provides no useful information for the average consumer who isn't an AV expert.
Finally, I saw good reviews for the sound, but I don't agree. The speakers are hidden and sound like it- very honky and stressed sounding. You can fiddle with the audio options but I found the synthetic audio modes to be very unnatural and phasy, indistinct and muddy. The best option to my taste was to disable all processing, but it still doesn't produce sound that matches the beautiful picture. It's really too bad that smallish sets like this don't offer better audio, because it kind of defeats the whole idea of the elegant package if you need to add amplifiers and speakers.

I was looking for a smaller TV for desktop use. I know the LG brand is usually low quality, but the price was right. I purchased this TV, plugged it in, went through the setup menu, it worked for about 60 seconds, then the TV turned its self off.
After 3 calls to LG tech support, they recommended I return the TV for repair. I tried to return it to the amazon partner I purchased it from: Adorama Camera. They advised they don't take LG TVs back. What!? So a customer is sent a defective product, but they wont do an exchange! Mental note: never buy from Adorama.
I called LG: the return process is a pain and takes about 6 weeks.
Recommendation: save yourself the frustration of purchasing a product that was not quality tested, buy a Samsung or Sony brand.
