Default LG tvs

I haven't heard much about the 52LG60 or the 52LG70. Ive checked them out at bb but I thought they looked just as nice as the samsungs. So I was wondering if anyone that has one would recommend them?

Well I work at Magnolia Home Theatre, I think that their LCD's are Mediocre at best, but I would definitley, DEFINTILEY, STAY AWAY FROM THEIR PLASMA LINE. Horrible Black Levels, and Im not going to get all technical, But I have not seen so many returns on Plasmas, like the LG Returns. That should tell you something, Im not going to lie, the new Apartment Complex is giving us a Free LG 1080p LCD, and I am having them wall mount it in the bedroom. Not bad, but Im not going to ever put away my Sammy Plasma, its sweet, hope i gave you some feed back...I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND LG PLASMAs, Go with Samsung, for the Price, then Go to Panasonic, if you are willing to put a little bit more down, and if Money is not a questions, Defitinely go with KURO, by Pioneer/Pioneer Elite.

I have spent almost six months researching plasma displays and have spent countless hours reading posts off of AVSFORUM.com from professional calibrators, installers and AV enthusiasts. I've also spent many hours visiting home theater stores viewing many different sets. I definitely agree with this post and anyone who disagrees needs to seriously do their homework.

LG used to be known by the brand name of Goldstar.

That doesn;t mean you can't re-invent yourself and improve though.

I check out the Toshiba XF550U line today. They come in either 40", 46" and 52". I compared them today with some Samsungs (650 & 750) and LGs (Scarlet) LCDs. The Toshibas looked great. I felt based on my eyeballs the 52XF550U looked just as good, if not better than the A750. That is just my opinion though.

Ultimately your eyes are the judge and if the 52LG70 & 60 version looked good then they're the ticket. Personally I looked at the 52LG70 and I also really liked the picture and almost bought it, I still might. I'll see if I can swing a good deal on a Pioneer 6020FD first.

Good Luck in whatever you decide to purchase.

They are *still* Goldstar.

Lucky Goldstar to be exact.

"Life's Good" is a slogan, not the brand.

That said I thought the performance was below par for the price.

Panasonic and Pioneer for plasma. Sony & Samsung for LCD.

I have a 42lg60. he picture is amazing. The sound is the best sound you can get on a LCD or plasma. Even though that doesn't matter to most since they use surround sound. I had a 42in sharp, then 40in Samsung, now 42in LG. This is by far the best in all around quality. You would not be disappointed at all with an LG LCD. I have become an LG fan. I don't think I will ever switch to another company.
