32″ LCD TV Price

The two stars are for the acceptable picture. The non HD channels are not too sharp. A lot of pixalation with action movies.The DVD player is VERY noisy and if you turn up the volume you can hear the noise through the speakers. The tv hasn't got much volume so you have to really turn it up to play a movie and with volume comes more noise from the DVD player.I have the DVD audio hooked up to a surround amp and the speakers pick up the motor noise. It sounds like some kind of a ground problem inside the unit. I also see a tiny red laser like dot in the screen on all channels that I suspect is a bad pixel. Needless to say, I am sending it back.

I purchased the 32LG40 last Sunday. I really wanted a HDTV/DVD combo, and this looked pretty good in the store. It shipped quick (Tuesday), but I didn't have time to set it up until Saturday. The picture is acceptable, but the sound can be buzzy and tinny on some cable stations. My big problem is with the DVD player. First, its pretty noisy. Second, it sends feedback through the TV speakers. It's loud enough to be distracting when watching a movie. I can't believe that it is supposed to operate like this. I contacted LG's service department and they told me to contact a local TV repair shop to see if it can be repaired under warranty. I hope it can be repaired, but I'm afraid I'm going to hear, "that's just the way it is".

I saw this TV in a store before looking online, & compared to other TVs side-by-side (in price range) this one is by far the best in picture. With the built-in DVD player & Amazon's current price holding, it can't be beat. Bright whites, dark blacks, vibrate colors, & an easy-to-use interface. Without hesitation I'd recommend this TV to anyone. Simply put: for price, cannot be beat in quality; no need to look any further.

I purchased the LG tv for our bedroom, to replace a smaller standard tv. The LG picture is great and the built in DVD player is also a great idea. I read other reviews and a couple said the DVD player was noisey. So far, I can not complain with mine. Yes, when you first insert a disc, it sounds like a laptop DVD drive spinning as it reads the disc, but after a few seconds, the noise is gone and the picture is playing. Great tv and great service through Ammazon.com and their supplier. The tv came in its original pack and was then packed in a larger carton with foam packing all around it. Excellent service and no damage to the product.

I currently work for a clinic. My doctor purchased this TV on December 08, and we had a HUGE problem with the DVD player right now barely a year after purchasing it.

My boss wanted to be budget-friendly a little bit, so he thought this TV was well-bargained for under $600 with a DVD player attached. On top of that, we play DVDs only for the patients. (no cable or even satellite antennas) Little did he know, this DVD player was NOT built for marathon DVD playing AT ALL. It is loud just like everyone had suggested here in the review board. It takes some time to recognize the DVDs and eject them as well. If you play DVDs in our way (roughly 5 times a week, at least 8 hours of non-stop play time, you will come to the point where it does not eject the DVD anymore. Unable to eject the disc, the DVD player will re-insert the disc automatically and assume you want to play the disc again... A HUGE headache for all the office staffs and few of our long-term patients, who suffered from over-dosage of Planet Earth (you can Q&A me on ANY FRAME, I kid you not, within the episodes of "From Pole to Pole," "Mountains," and "Fresh Water" and I can tell you exactly what's going on there... matching the music theme on the back, and mimicking David Attenborough's narration at the same time...).

Another negative aspect is the viewing angle range of the screen. off-angles are pretty-dark... our patients ended up cluttering in the middle of the room to watch the TV, quite amusing but very inconvenient for all of them. Perhaps it would be better for a bedroom TV.

I have read the entire manual and found NONE of the troubleshoot problems are related to the DVD player, which is how they hide their little secrets of this incompetent freebie. We are facing a potential charge of more than 200 dollars to fix this little thing. It could have been more budget-friendly if we purchase these two separately. So be aware of these TV w/ DVD players!!

great design, easy installation, quite good picture, but the DVD is disturbingly noisy when watching a movie. It can be heard despite the sound of the movie.

This is exactly what it says it is. Good looking tv. The DVD is great. It is easy to switch back and forth. I read about the noice issue with the DVD but I haven't yet noticed it. For those without cable or dish, this tv hooks up to a regular old antennae without a problem. Good for those to make the switch to digital without multiple remote controls or other hookup problems.

So far the TV has been a great purchase, very pleased. If there were a downside to the DVD player it would be a very faint noise feedback when playing. Certainly not enough to wory about.

We bought this TV for our daughter's room and we are very pleased with everything. The picture is probably the best in the house with three other HD LCD's around here competing for that title. I have become a bit of a fan of LG products over the past year or so and this one adds to my list of reasons why. It is perfect for a bedroom ... She doesn't crank it up real loud for any reason so I can't comment on the sound much, but she's happy with the way it performs for her use.

I've had this TV for almost 4 months and am very happy with it. The Picture is great for the price, with very vibrant colors and contrasts. The blacks are not as dark as you can find on more expensive TVs, but are as good as you can find in this price range. The DVD is noisy, which is really unfortunate. The Speakers are ok, but nothing great. I'd highly recommend this TV if you are looking for a TV that you will output sound to a stereo receiver. I actually found this at a price less expensive than the model without the built-in DVD player! Also, the high number of HDMI and other inputs is really fantastic. I do not regret this purchase at all!
