Product Description
It's time to take your home theater into the age of HD. And there's no better way to make the leap than with the LD450 series LCD HDTVs from LG. Thanks to its Full HD 1080p panel resolution, widescreen aspect ratio, and 4ms response time, the entry-level 42LD450's 42" LCD display delivers HD video with crisp clarity and a cinematic feel. Further, while 24p True Cinema technology improves the performance of film-based content, an XD Engine optimizes panel brightness, enhances color, and reduces image noise. Look to two HDMI inputs for optimal HD connectivity, and to a USB port for access to JPEG photos and MP3 audio.

| With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. - Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
- Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

I ordered the LG HD flat screen and am completely satisfied. The television arrived within days of my purchase, in brand new condition. The delivery service used, was excellent. The delivery guy, showed me all of the paperwork and offered to bring the television in the house and complete basic set-up, to ensure the unit's condition. He was very professional and friendly. I would definitely use this seller in the future.
Sharp Image and Great Price August 25, 2010

I purchased this TV as a gift for my son and daughter-in-law. They love it! The picture is extremely clear, there is no glare on the screen and the set-up was done by my son with no problem. I am very satisfied that they are happy.
The only problem I had was with the delivery carrier. There was an option offered when ordering, that I chose, to have the carrier call me to set up a day and approximate time to deliver, so that there would be someone home to accept. There were several attempts made by the carrier to deliver, but they couldn't because they never contacted me first. After several phone calls to Amazon & the carrier, it was finally delivered.
In spite of the delivery problems, I would definitely recommend this TV.
It was a long search and this seems to be a winner August 9, 2010

Owned less than a month but having no trouble learning to use with Sat. TV and DVR. The delivery was joy! The young man brought the package into the house, opened it and set up the new after removing the the old and very heavy set. He assembled the new set and checked that it operated correctly and left with all the bulky packaging. At 91 with bad back I felt like a king!! Hope the TV lives up to its start
