LG 42LW5300

With good color performance and somewhat affordable 3D capability, the LG 42LW5300 is a good buy if you are looking for an entry-level 3D TV at a great performance to cost ratio. The tradeoff? No internet connectivity whatsoever. If you want to stream...

Solid color performance ; Top-rate 3D color

No streaming capabilities ; Lacking media playback features

All things considered, for the price the LG 42LW5300 is not a bad entry-level TV. With good color performance, and among the best 3D color performance we’ve ever seen, you could do a lot worse than bringing this LCD TV home. It may not be the best...

Update on TV

Really like the TV so far. Great feature allows you to watch 2D TV in 3D mode.

Very crisp picture, very easy set up, very nice features

assembly instructions for base not very good, #D turns off automatically when watching 'regular' TV in 3D mode. Does not come with 3D player and glasses as described in listing

Excellent Picture

Picture quality is superb. Beats my 3 year old Samsung easily.However, the ''Magic Remote'' is hard to use at times and the pointer drifts to an edge of the screen. I purchased a Logitech wireless keyboard with track pad and the problem disappeared...

Everything Looks Great and Works Well!

Love this TV. The 3D quality on this TV is unbeatable. My parents have a 3D TV from I think Sony or Samsung but they rarely watch 3D because of the 3D glasses that you have to charge every time. I feel confident that I made a smart choice in getting...

My New Monitor

I wish it came with an upscaler. it just enhances line and smoothes the jaggies.

3D is fun and it doesn't suck on this TV ; Great assortment of connections, I can plug in all my gadgets ; I use this as my Computer Monitor, no more having to sit so close or strain my eyes; I just kick back and the sky is the limit ; The bundled blue...

There is an occational flicker when using the energy saver ; It does not decode Dobly Digital on he fiber optic out when watching TV or give the option, thus you must have a Dolby Digital Decoder such as in your reciever. This problem does not apply to...

Great Combo Deal

Great deal for the price! Sure it is not the top of the line 3D TV, but if you want all of the smart tv features, just pick up a Roku for $90.00. Picture quality is very nice using the 1080p at 60hrz

A backlit remote would be nice
