Known audio problems...be warned November 21, 2009 R Sempsrott (Austin, TX) Purchased this LG tv after reading the amazon reviews. Once I received it and hooked it up via HDMI cable to my DVR, I noticed a problem immediately. The audio & video are HORRIFICALLY out of sync. The audio is delayed by one second or more and makes it impossible to watch. I thought it might be the cable box so I called Time Warner and they swapped out my cable box for a new one. It made zero difference. Finally I called LG tech support and they didnt even ask me that many questions and said it was a known issue. They took my information and are sending a tech out to fix it. They claim that they are aware that there is a problem and there is a fix but it requires a tech to physically make a visit. After the call, I did deeper research and there are tons of internet postings about this same issue with folks all over the place extremely upset.
I then waited for 2 weeks and never heard back from LG. Called again and was told that they are getting swamped with calls on this issue and that they had no idea when I would get service. They said to call back after a month (!) if I hadnt heard back from them!! They claim that if you dont use HDMI, the problem goes away. But thats the reason I bought a 1080i TV....for the HDMI. Needless to say, please dont purchase from LG and pick another brand, at least for a while. Also, I purchased from Adorama Camera (via Amazon) and they have a no return policy for TV's which is amazing and quite a shock. So I am stuck with this TV whether I like it or not.
Utilitarian - A good Thing November 21, 2009 Terry A (VA) Bought it because I considered it the best value among 32 inch LCDs. Am quite satisfied.
The LG 32LH30 is a solid, no fuss, TV that delivers a good picture with excellent sound clarity for speech. With non-HD satellite as input, have not noted significant image blurring on sports programs. That is, players and balls always appear as solid, clear images. On other programs, such as newscasts, faces of commentators are sometimes soft when they move their head or the camera angle changes. Color is quite natural and consistent, aided by good contrast. Was easy to set up and configure. Nicely done stand. One can swivel and tilt the set easily.
The one complaint is the inability to size the image as I would like. The options provide for a smaller image than the screen size - the picture is a smaller rectangle surrounded by a lot of black (like 24 inch inside a 32 inch area), a full screen with `squished' vertical and elongated horizontal, or, using the zoom setting, a full screen that cuts of maybe an inch or two of the picture at the top and bottom - you don't see much of the crawl, if any, at the bottom or the score box shown at the top of a sports program.
Okay, but not great November 20, 2009 T. Doyle (Michigan) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this TV from Amazon supplier Tiger Direct based on Amazon reviews in early November 2009. We have a two year old 32" Samsung HD LCD TV that we were moving to another room and the LG TV was purchased to replace to older TV. My wife and I both found the quality of the picture to be inferior to the Samsung. Moreover, the biggest problem with the LG TV was the deterioration in picture quality with viewing angle. The LG also seemed to have a slight problem keeping audio and video in sync on a few programs, somthing we had not noted in our other TVs (we have four flat panel TVs in all - only one is HD) Given the room we planned to place it in required a wide viewing angle, we returned the TV.

Great TV November 16, 2009 Arlene V. Iannazzi (Johnston, RI USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is the best TV you could buy. The size is just right for my small den. The picture quality is absolutely fantastic. Very easy to use and set up. This is our second LG HDTV.(Other TV is 52 inches) The customer service is beyond words. I hesitated buying a television on line but the reviews made by other buyers convinced me to go for it. I am not sorry. Needless to say, I am very happy with my purchase. Thanks Amazon for YOUR great service also.
