First thing you notice is the stunning picture quality. Colors are vibrant and crisp, black levels are great all thanks to 50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio. LG 32LD350 will deliver unforgatable experiance every time you watch your favourite show or movie. With easy setup you will be watching TV in no time. This TV has a great feature which is the "clear voice" and if you notice getting a little noise on the sound with Clear Voice on you can easily change setting to Auto Volume option in the audio main menu and it will fix even medium quality sound input.
The remote is really functional and has a nice little feature: the quick setup button which pops up a circular dialogue box on the TV with most frequently used settings. It really can be helpful when changing setting for diffrent inputs like DVD, PS3 or cable TV. Even normal TV looks pretty good on this tv and has a surprisingly sharp picture quality. If you have non HD source and the picture is not looking great you can adjust it in the picture main menu by changing the aspect ratio to Just Scan and it will clean it up really nicely. Overall picture quality can be adjusted by so many advanced options that if you play with it I'm sure you can get exactly what you want. You don't have to worry about to many devices, now you can connect them easily with so many inputs that this HDTV provides. With 32LD350 you will get 2 HDMI (version 1.3) inputs, 1 component, 1 composite, 1 RF, 1 rear PC input, 1 PC audio input, Digital audio output, RS-232c input, USB and ofcourse Headphone out. If all of your devices are LG nice feature is SimpLink. It will let you control every SimpLink enabled device to be controled with only one remote. For those of you that are environmental aware Smart Energy Saving is nice feature. Basicly it will help you conserve energy and money.
In my opinion I feel it's easily one of the better entry level hd televisions out there.

Good unit. I was actually very surprised at how light these units have gotten over the years. I mounted it on the Sanus pull out TV mount, and it went right onto the standard metal plate.

I bought this TV couple of months ago from Walmart. What a stunning picture quality it has. It stood out from all the TVs on display around it due to it's vivid color and crisp picture. We bought it immediately and no regret. We love the picture quality. Sound quality is average as they say how it is in the flat TVs. Hence I bought a home theater system to complement it's picture quality and now we have stunning picture with amazing sound. Watching TV/movies is more fun than ever. With the home theater system, the sound is now balanced and there is no shocking sound level increase during the commercials.
The remote is nice and I like the quick setup button which pops up a circular dialogue box on the TV with most frequently used settings.
It has two HDMI inputs altough some competition TVs have more than 2 HDMI inputs. It also features a digital optical audio out and number of other traditional connectors including VGA input so that you could use it as a monitor for your computer.

I have been waiting patiently for a few years now to make the switch from my 480i Toshiba 32" CRT to an HDTV. Thanks to a decent tax return I was finally able to join the Hi Def club. I live in a small apartment and already had a nice entertainment center which housed my aging Toshiba so I chose to stay with the 32" screen format as anything larger would not fit. After doing weeks of research it came down to this LG or the Samsung LN32C350. I found the picture quality to be almost identical and the price was the same for both, $399.00. I chose the LG because I got 10% off with a online coupon and no tax and free shipping from another online retailer. I couldn't be happier! This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. The TV is fantastic!, picture is bright, sharp, clear and gorgeous. The contrast ratio listed here is wrong though...it's not 50,000:1...it's actually 70,000:1...which is even better. I love the remote, easy to use menu and all the functions and options you can tweak. it's such an unbelievable difference seeing TV shows and movies in Hi Def. I can't comment on the sound as I have the TV speakers turned off because I have a pretty kick-ass surround sound system. I am A Dish Network subscriber and have it hooked to my VIP612 receiver and am loving it...also finally able to play my Xbox 360 in Hi Def and that is Da Bomb too!...BF:BC2 looks amazing! I was debating whether to get a 1080p or a 720p TV for a long time...then I found out (which I didn't realise) all HD TV signals...OTA (over the air), DirecTv, Cable, Dish Network are all broadcast in 720p/1080i...and since I don't watch blu-ray movies...spending extra money on a 1080p set just wouldn't make sense...also...on a TV 32" or less..the benefits of watching in 1080p are negligible. 720p looks phenomenal! It has a 1 year parts and labor warranty, and after you register it with LG you can extend your warranty by 2 years for $48...provided you do it in the 1st 180 days after purchase, so altogether you get a 3 year warranty for $48...from the manufacturer...not some 3rd party outfit, that's pretty good...I'll be doing that b4 my 180 days are up. I can't recommend this TV more...I am now an LG fanboy.
