User Reviews for LG 42LB5820 42 inch (106 cm) LED Full HD TV

I will not repeat on the excellent performance of the TV on which volumes has been already said here. Instead , let me bring to your notice the price and the freebies currently on offer by retail stores vs. Flipkart: nnI ordered for this TV from Flipkart on 27/09 and was promised a delivery by 30/09. The price of 50.9K definitely looked a steal and the 4000/- exchange for my old CRT TV sweetened the deal ! I checked with reliance digital and they negotiated their list price of 59K down to 54K but no further (including a exchange offer of 3.8K for my old TV) hence, on a pure price level, it was a no brainer to buy it from Flipkart as it was a clear advantage of 7K !!nnBut was it ? The store price at reliance included some company freebies for Diwali season , namely, n1. Magic Remote 2. Multi angle swivel stand 3. 2 year extended warranty. These were not advertised on Flipkart. ( I actually verified that these were gifts given from company scheme as I found a mention of them on the Diwali sale brochure of LG)nnHowever, when Flipkart delivered the TV on 29th ( as usual , one day before the promised date of 30th) , I was pleasantly surprised to find a magic remote inside the box! .However, I did miss out on the swivel stand and the extended warranty which I guess is Ok considering the price advantage.nnThe LG guy took 2 days to come for installation and he fixed the TV on the wall with a stand which has some degree of movement. hence, I am not missing the swivel stand too much :-)nnThough I am pretty satisfied with the overall deal, I would advise Flipkart to CLEARLY mention all offer and freebies along with the price so as not to lose customers .nnThe TV has been working fine and my only grouse is the very low sound volume which definitely mandates at least a external 2.1 home theatre to be attached if u are really looking to get the "Theatre effect" watching your movies.nnAlso, The TV supports MKV format and can easily read from a hard disk upto 2TB capacity ( thought of mentioning this as is not mentioned in Flipkart listing page)nnHope this was helpful.

HI ,nnFirst of all kudos to flipkart team for their safe and faster delivery . Ordered on saturday morning and it has arrived on sunday morning as per the preferred scheduled time .nnNow coming to the review ,nnPro's : nnPrice : I have inquired the price of it in couple of offline stores nin my area and they all said that their catalog price is 42k and they can only reduce 2k-3k and that to with great difficulty and i got it on flipkart for 33.8 K , off course snapdeal is offering for 1k lesser but I some how had a greater extent of trust on flipkart service .nnLooks : Awesome with the silver lining around the frame and the looks are much better than the other 32k competitive one's nnVideo Quality : Today I have opted for Airtel DTH HD connection and the HD channels clarity is amazing compared to the non HD one's , may be it's the problem with the airtel non HD channels , will have to check nnVideo playback : I have played my wedding video which is of 8GB in size and it played flawlessly without any breaks and smoothly , this year i have bought couple other sony bravia HD ready TV's which are of 32k range one for my sister and other for my parents and they both have problem playing larger files (>4GB) and the 8GB video which am talking was not able to play in those one's nnI have connected my Western Digital one TB hard disk and it got connected without any problem ( my sonia bravia TV's have the problem of detecting hard disks ) and I tested videos of different formats like .mkv,.divx,.mp4,.flv and .avi and all videos played without any problems , so if someone has problem playing with the above mentioned formats , then might be it's problem with your file itself .nnSound Clarity : Some people have expressed concerns about the sound , but the sound quality of the device is very good , I have installed the TV in a hall which is of 20*14 feet size and there is no need of even increasing the sound to 50% for the entire hall to be audible loudly .nnI haven't wall mounted the TV yet and the initial configuration of device is pretty easy and self explanatory .nnIt has 3 USB's and 3 HDMI ports on the left hand side and the accessibility of those ports is easy as well , for sony bravia the ports are given at the down side and I use to un-mount the TV everytime to connect pendrive and even the extension wires bought outside haven't worked for braviannAm not opposed to Sony devices , this is the first time am buying an LG device and am just comparing it with sony bravia because we had a couple in our family .nnIf you are looking for a best 32inch LED , just blindly go for it as it is packed with lot of other features like inbuilt wifi , screen mirroring etc etc nnUpdate : LG service center guy has wall mounted the TV yesterday and the wall amount is an adjustable kind of thing i.e you can move the TV set forward or backward left or right as a result any port on the back side can be accessible without un mounting the set which i liked it very much

I purchased this product from Flipkart because I was always convinced with the pricing, product quality and delivery. nnHowever, only after making the payment and receiving the product I got to know that for installation I have to pay the cost from my own pocket. No where on the site they have listed about it. This is like "Fooling the Customer".nnThe amount (INR 3,000) which I was saving on purchase is now being paid to LG guys for installation.nnGoing forward I am not going to buy any electrical appliance from Flipkart.

Hello,nnI have purchased this TV a week ago to enjoy FIFA world cup 2014 from one of the dealers in Bangalore for 35,000 as flipkart was priced little higher. So far my experience has been great . I would like to review this product based on my usage.nnPros:nn1. Design is very sexy with silver finish on the panel and it will attract anyone who watches this TV.n2. Picture quality (Full HD) is awesome if you are watching HD channels using a set up box (I use Videocon D2H full HD). The SD channels are not great in terms of quality.n3. Smart features is the USP of this TV. You get 3 HDMI and 3 USB ports which will allow you to connect other devices like Laptop or PC. You also get recording feature in this T.V which Sony and Samsung doesn't provide.n4. Wifi Built in feature helps you to connect to the Internet without any issues.n5. 4GB Inbuilt memory provided in the TV to store your applications.n6. Magic remote and camera feature (optional) and you have to buy it separatelyn7. Advanced IPS panel provided for wide viewing angle for better quality pictures.n8. Sound effect is good with 20w (10+10) output with clear voice and DTS technologyn9. Free Wall mount stand provided at the time of installation (You also get table stand inside the package). LG after sales service is great, they came within 24 hours for the installation.n10. Power consumption is very less and it has got 4.5 star rating for the energy saving.nnCons:nnI have not found any cons till now but I will list out the things which could have made the product even better.nn1. Price of the TV should have been 30 to 32kn2. Picture quality should have been better ie the refresh rate something like 150- 200 HZ. This TV has 50 HZ refresh rate.nnIf you are looking for a 32 Full HD Smart TV, go for this TV without any hesitation as it will exceed your expectations. It is a value for money product with rich features.

Fantastic Smart TV with mind blowing picture quality & crystal clear sound clarity ! nnI was very skeptic initially to go for LG model of LED TV and was considering either 32" Sony or 32" Samsung LED TV. After visiting a couple of Dealers, I have zeroed in on LG 42" SMART LED TV which came into Indian market during end April 2014 & it seemed to have plethora of options and future ready!n nThe price looked quite reasonable for the features which this model is offering. One thing I could not check properly was the sound quality as the store was very noisy.nnThe package arrived the next day from Croma and without waiting for LG team we have assembled the unit following the instructions given in the manual.nnThe packing was pretty neat & tidy, with all the accessories clearly marked.nnOnce we did initial setup & connected the HDMI, the TV came alive with vivid picture & cystal clear sound! The picture quality definitely scores over Sony or Samsung or other makes in this range. The picture quality is very sublime & never tires the eye. After getting satisfied with the main TV features, we tried with USB input. The TV was very responsive in displaying the Photos & videos, switching between USB input & HDMI etc.nnThe picture display & video display quality from USB drive is absolutely stunning. It is without exaggeration that I can declare that I have made a very wise decision in going for this latest model of LG LED TV.nThere is a lot to explore on Internet connection, Miracast and host of other features, which I will do in the coming days and update in my review.nnI am really happy about the quality performance of this TV set, and I recommend others to look beyond Sony, Samsung, Toshiba etc...nnIf you want my Pro Vs Cons; I would say the only handling the remote looks a bit tricky.. The sensor is exactly at the bottom centre of the panel and aiming with remote needs a bit of familiarisation.. There are no other glitches I have noticed....
