5THX Certified Says It All  May 31, 2010
I read in the online reviews that LG had the lowest priced LED backlit HDTVs, and I also read they were some of the highest quality LCD Tvs on the market- probably second to Samsung. So I knew this is what I was looking for.

As others have pointed out, it was packed very well and delivered flawlessly. It has a large bezel around the TV so it has a rather large footprint for a 42" TV. And it has good sound for a TV, so good that an external soundbar would probably be a waste.

It has a number of features you wouldn't think about a TV having:
-XD Engine to upscale lower definition video to look better on your high definition TV
-"Smart Volume" Auto Volume Leveler for those jarring commercial breaks
-"True voice" makes voice dialog more crisp sounding
-Dolby Digital 5.1 decoder with ability to downmix it for the TV's 2 integrated (and hidden) speakers

Last, but not least, this TV is THX certified for high picture quality. Only a handful of TVs are THX certified.

As [...] puts it: "THX certified displays are tested to ensure they meet or exceed specifications in two areas. One is picture quality--device performance, in THX's words--and includes minimum specs for things like black levels, contrast, color gamut, brightness, resolution and uniformity. The other is "signal" (or video) processing, which includes things like sharpness, noise reduction, overscan, motion compensation and deinterlacing. All certified TVs are tested to make sure they meet or exceed minimum standards."

As [...] puts it: "Inside THX's test lab, we observed their array of test signals and procedures. In addition to the legacy test signals we and other reviewers use to evaluate HDTVs, THX created some of their own patterns. THX tests signal processing, deinterlacing, color points, black levels and white levels among others criteria. They perform additional testing of display properties that are generally too time consuming or require special test equipment the HD Guru and our fellow reviewers don't possess."

My personal test of whether a TV is high quality or not is while looking at them in the store some of them will have a pixelated, blocky look to the picture when looking up close. This one doesn't. The picture is as sharp up close as it is from far back. The only negative I can think of is that it doesn't turn on instantly. It takes about 20 seconds to boot up and turn on after you have hit the power button.

5One of The Best Led TV !!! Amazing  May 31, 2010

5Brief review of LG 42LH90  May 04, 2010
There are more detailed reviews before this one so I choose not to be redundant. Set-up is easy and the remote is simple and easy to use. This LCD has full array LED backlighting. The real thin LED sets are using edge lighting with diffusers. They are OK but the light is not always evenly dispersed. It appears more mfgs are using edge lighting since it is probably less costly to produce and the sets are much thinner. Either way, the LCD sets with LED backlighting give you an amazing picture. Sound quality is average as most of thr newer sets seem to be designed for use with a separate sound system. The frame of the 42LH90 is not as narrow as other sets thus making it look king of bulky for a 42 inch set. The pedestal mount that comes with the unit is somewhat wobbly. It is a buyers market right now so you should be able to get a local retailer to offer the set for the same price as on line. I did. Expect to pay $1000 to $1100 right now (early May 2010). That's not much money for a 42 inch LED, 1080p, 120Hz(quasi 240Hz) HDTV.

4very good tv  Apr 30, 2010
The 42LH90 is a very good TV. Very good picture. A little blooming, I just listened to some advice in other reviews to calibrate the tv myself. I used the STANDARD selection as my jumping off point. I really didn't realize that some people on TV look so bad. The picture quality is really good. I have it connected to my own audio system. Swivel stand is great. I had an LG 42 inch, 720p, 1100 to 1 resolution from 3 or 4 yrs ago. This TV is quite lighter, throws off less heat and has a more superior picture. I hope the quality and durability is the same. So far, so good.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!

Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)

The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 issue.)

"
Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."

Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com came closest.
