Customer Reviews

Quick Pros:
Good connection options, good resolution, bright image, 240hz refresh rate, 1080P, attractive design, excellent sound, and OneCall sales staff.
Quick Cons:
LG Customer Service Mediocre at best! Set Up worst considered no printed manual
First off …. OneCall is awesome! Best Price (and I tried all the dealers that I found at the time) Most Friendly sales staff. Customer service responds via e-mail long after hours! Note: OneCall is listed as “buying decisions more” on Amazon.
Now the TV: television has arrived.
CONS:
Unboxed, plugged all the cables … then with the side button, I tried to turn it on .. Maybe … I then tried the remote … not good there either. Figured I had a DOA series .. I tried a manual … None found .. Only a CD of a manual. Problem was:
1. This was a gift … person receiving the gift does not have computers, so no way to view CD.
2. I was about 56 miles round trip to my house to have access to a computer to print up manual from the CD.
3. Quick Start booklet was included with details of all connections EXCEPT position of the power button! “Standby” switch on the side of the TV is not the power switch.
I found this option after you accidentally disconnected all the cables to return the TV … I reached under the set and felt something “click” What do you know .. a rocker power switch …. Know .. one not listed in the quick start booklet or indicated by an international symbol or words on the front of the set to indicate its position. (I had two more to read the few pages of the Quick Start booklet to see if I lost)
After switching … and pressing the “standby” .. switches were able to start the setup …
4. Returning home after .. I brought the CD with me ….. Manual and guess what ‘! CD not reading on one of my three computers. Is that this was a Friday night … E ‘was Monday before I could get a hold of LG. Have offered to send me a manual … Cool … Why did not they just include a box tv? WAS THE END OF THE FIRST WEEK I GOT IT! And … Was not bound! I had my own punch holes in a thick manual (it was obviously printed from a laser printer) and buy an empty three ring binder and put it together. I guess even priority mail is not necessary to fix a screw on one of their top line of televisions. They never did replace the CD. It ‘was another week before I could drive it to the owner of the TV. I am sure that the idea behind the CD was to save the trees … Well I burned a lot of fuel to solve this problem, at least 112 miles! Geesh! I remember this … If you do not have a computer or a DVD player connected to another TV to review the manual, or have a printer if you want a printed copy … &$%#$’re out of luck!
5. I left a review longer than this at LG and also said I was going to buy more of these televisions … and have not posted my review! I contacted LG three times, e-mails and calls! I never got a response from them that was not a response BOX ….
SO: No manual included (except CD that did not work), Quick Start booklet need to make switching listed (including the list in the guide to the resolution of !!!). NO printed manual back on a TV in this price range is not justifiable! LG customer service and response must improve, and LG does not need to cherry pick reviews for their website. A person needs to come to a website like this that usually publish all reviews.
PRO’S:::
1. Most LCD / Plasma TV sets for sale have poor sound … Let’s face it … Needless to stars or subtract votes for this genre, because to make the TV look decent .. you have to use some small speakers … wants a good sound? …. Then get a home theater system speaker setup … Save this LG! Awesome sound for a modern series ….. For something this size … I think the Outstanding sound compared to its competition, and far beyond my expectations. The bigger surprise, I had an accident outside the printed manual.
2. Plenty of inputs for a 37 “TV including VGA hookup for a computer with a mini jack for audio input … Even though I have not tried this VGA / audio input … it’s nice to see it included. There is a. . DVI input, but you can get an HDMI to DVI gender changer for a few dollars, if you need to go on-line the route.
3. The rate of 240hz refresh was art! I also noticed no backlighting bleed. Backlight bleed is common on the LCD to a certain extent.
4. Black level and contrast is the best thing I’ve seen for a non-LED LCD. Black level is not even close to mine .. plasma but the best I’ve seen in an LCD today. Too bad that does not exist in the plasma smaller than 42 “.
5. Since this TV series was a gift .. I’ve got to use the remote a lot … but it seemed pretty intuitive as I was setting up the TV to work for the first time.
6. I’m thinking of buying more of these TV … we’ll see … For a 37 “LED TV …. I do not think you can do better. (At the time of this review) … Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, JVC, Mitsubishi, Magnavox, Visio, or Toshiba … has a 37 “that this” state of the art “at a special price! Highly Recommended!
So why not 5 stars? Because of more than 112 miles (or more) driving unnecessary to resolve the problem manually. LG “shopping review”, not posting my review (which was pretty hot, except the problem manual) and does not respond properly to my e-mail or phone calls. Make a trip to the office supply store and buy a three-ring binder for the manual.
When you give a gift at this price … It would be nice not to be a bit ‘embarrassed by stupid problems. The person that I have for this have no clue on how to shop, even for an LCD or the time I spent to find this particular TV. So sort of leaves the impression that I had a cheapo TV for them .. It ‘just was not the case. LG needs a spanking! Now .. go and buy the TV! 
* UPDATE *: August 6, 2009
CNET Reviews this TV: (Amazon will not let me put the web address. Just insert the following into the search box of Google or Yahoo, LG 37LH55) Their review is not so hot … Fortunately … I stick to my “user” review. Perhaps LG does not have a good texture of the product? I do not know. I’m glad I bought the set looks good! I just wanted to update this way you can have as much information as possible to make your decision … Good luck!
Just a note: If you go to Crutchfield. com (also a merchant Featured Amazon) and type in their search engine …. LCD or Plasma TV will open easy to understand, unbiased info between technologies. I might add that if you did not make a large purchase on-line … Crutchfield has been in operation since 1974, and spent many thousands of them … are a great team, not the lowest price, but the best customer service to get the course at a fair price and, sometimes, if you have problems with a product, making it the best money ever spent.

This installation involved removing a tube-type TV and its replacement with 37-inch LG flat screen. I did read the instructions twice before television was removed from the package. I used it again for the set up. The help screen is beautiful. I had to do some tests to make several before settling. Nothing has been very difficult. I am amazed at how the thinking and were displayed on the screen. Some displays and language was unknown, but over time they were understandable. I like having a TV with this quality vision to my room very small. Thanks Amazon.com and LG. Have done this 70 years the man happy. The installation also impressed my girlfriend.
Hi I enjoy the site its fantastic
