Product Description
Displays HDTV programs in full 1920 x 1080p resolution for a more detailed picture.Unlike other sensors which can only sense brightness of ambient light, LG's "Intelligent Sensor" uses 4,096 sensing steps to evaluate its surroundings. Using a sophisticated algorithm, the LG processes picture quality elements including brightness, contrast, color, sharpness and white balance. The result is a picture optimized for it's surroundings, more pleasing to watch and which can also save up to 50% in power consumption.The AV Mode optimizes the picture into Cinema, Sports, and game Mode according to the video and audio content. The viewer has the ability to quickly choose the correct mode for the picture they are viewing.Automatically enhances and amplifies the sound of human voice frequency range to help keep dialog audible when background noise swells.This TV contains the detailed calibrations necessary for professional certification by the Imaging Science Foundation. The resulting ISF "day" and "night" modes will then be accessible by the user to experience the best their LG HDTV has to offer.

 Excellent, Great Picture May 19, 2008

Updated June 17, 2008: This is our second flat-screen LG TV. We bought a bigger unit for downstairs and just picked this one up for the Master suite. We've hung it on the wall, using the HDMI connection. We love it.
Pro:
-Very light (~35 pounds) and super thin (~4")
-Remote is nice and feels good in my hand
-I like that the power button is on the front (cleverly hidden into a piece of the silver trim that runs along the bottom) and input, volume and channel can be changed from the right side/edge. This is handy when the remote goes missing or it's far away.
-Excellent black, and contrast. I personally think it produces the best (blackest) black, and doesn't wash out
-Rated for 60,000 hours of use (that's 2500 days if you left it on all day every day or 20.5 years if you had it on only 8 hours a day)
-3 HDMI connects, we are using 2, plus it does has USB 2.0 so it can power more advanced devices, presumably for things like "thumb drives" for viewing digital photos (although we've not tried anything like that yet)
-Fast and easy set-up/install (hung on the wall)
-Speakers are hidden
-In case it wasn't clearly described in the tech specs you've seen elsewhere, this is a 16:9 widescreen LCD HD 1080p TV (that's full high-definition)
-Warm up time is short, maybe 3 seconds or so
-Very wide viewing angle, looks great in a big space when seated to the side of the TV
-Good for Blu-Ray (although we don't have it... our DVD player does "upgrade" our DVD signal/picture, but it's not true Blue-Ray)
Con:
-Full sound, but in my opinion with the factory settings we didn't get as strong of a center channel as we would like, which usually contains the primary dialog. This led us to ramp up the volume to compensate and would not have been an issue if we were hooking into our stereo for surround sound. Since we did not do this, some trial and error with the sound settings was required for us to successfully mitigate this problem.
Neutral:
-Tip: when looking for a wall mount, don't pay more than about $75. This unit is light, and anything big and fancy is probably going to lead to a financial soaking!
-We haven't used the stand, sorry. It looks ok I guess, but can't review it since I haven't used it.
-Tip: I can't confirm this, however the HDMI cable box I got from my cable company responds much faster to channel changing that our other regular HD box did before we traded it in when we got our TV. The old box would randomly pause for 1-8 seconds as well. We've not had this problem with either HDMI cable box we've gotten.
-Tip: Play with your settings to get the best sound, don't rely on the factory settings.
Bottom line: The LG HDTV line is very good as a whole. This unit is no exception, it's awesome. We highly recommend it.
One of the best investments I've ever made July 1, 2008

I did many weeks' worth of research online regarding HDTVs, since I was in the market for one. I have had this TV for a few weeks now and the quality is nothing short of absolutely fantastic. I bought a PS3 right around the same time and playing video games and viewing Blu-Ray movies is just spectacular. In the evening, if there are no lights on except for the TV, it's better than being at the movie theater!
I bought the 37" because with all the features included with it (and it supporting 1080p), the price really couldn't be beat. That and when I was at the store comparing them, it just looked more brilliant and bright compared to the similar Samsung 37" right beside it (plus it was $200 cheaper). When I took it back to my apartment, I was blown away by how large it really is; they don't look so large in-store when they're near the 46" and 52" TVs!
Setup is pretty simple. Didn't take too long, though the screws for the base of the TV stand are set a bit deep, so it was a little tough to fully tighten them in. Something else that left a bit more to be desired is the sound. If you don't have a home theater system already (which I don't), you may be cranking the volume up more than you normally would.
All in all, this HDTV is incredible. Be sure you do your research, but I doubt you'll be disappointed with this one!

Great picture. Very easy setup with lots of options. Many ports, including 3 HDMI and 1 USB. Plays slide show and music from USB thumb drive. At 37" it fits where I could not get a 40" tv.
Speakers average and remote is good.
Great buy.
Great Hi-def television! July 5, 2008

I looked at the Scarlet series but for the price this was a great value. I really like the clear voice feature - it makes a big difference. Easy installation. I would rather have a matte surround because the glossy reflects light. The HD is fabulous! I would definitely recommend to friends.
LG 37LG50 LCD January 15, 2009

I researched for months in making a decision of which Flat screen LCD to buy.
I saw how great the reviews were for the 37LG30 720p model, and came close to buying it because of the price.
I have learned over the years that you get what you pay for, and this made me opt to buy the better Full HD 37LG50 model.
I am glad I did.
After getting it and adjusting it to my own preferences it has a far superior picture then any of the sony or samsung 1080p models I had checked out at the local stores.
The picture clarity is fantastic just as a lot of the other reviews I have studied on this model stated.
Even with the high speed motion in my Smallville Dvd's I have never seen any pixel lag that other models are well known for.
This tv is exactly what I was hoping for, and was worth every cent it cost.
It and my Pioneer BDP-51FD Blu ray player make a perfect system.
