Good: Picture quality, EPG after software update

Bad: Freeview tuner & hdmi socket packed up when only 2 years old

Comment: The picture quality for an hd ready tv was good, but had to have the engineers out for failing EPG, software update cured this. After just longer than 2 years the freeview tuner and the hdmi socket stopped working. Also a vertical shadow has appeared down the left hand side of the screen. Both LG and Currys refused to help except LG putting me in contact with a repairer 150 miles away! It appears that from various local independant dealers Sony, Panasonic, JVC & Toshiba have much better service backup, so LG is not so cheap in the long term.

Good: Nice bright screen good colours, nice sound, HD Performace.

Bad: Not much. Basic looks, remote is a bit fiddly. Limited Connections.

Comment: I snapped up this bargain TV for £450 from my local high street electrical store. Got it home, set it up, and it was a breeze to get everything connected.

After switching on I was impressed, the picture is pretty clear even without the XD engine on, the colours are lush and the brightness is just right. It took a while to get the right settings but now I have pictures from my Sky + Box are great.

However I feel this TV comes into it's own when you plug in something 720p or 1080i into it. Blue Ray DVD's look sharper than a box of lemons, PS3 Games look incredible and the sound coming out of the front speakers is very good for a TV in this price range.

I'm very happy with my purchase of the LG 32LC2D For an Entry level/Budget choice it seems a very solid performer.

My only issue is there is only one HDMI Socket, however with splitters easily available I don't see this as being a real problem.

Good: Nothing at all

Bad: The build quality is abysmal

Comment: I bought two of these sets a year ago. A couple of weeks after the guarantee ran out one set had only sound and no picture. To have this repaired I was quoted the manufacturer's price for the part of £1,760, more than double what I paid for the set! So that was one set scrapped. The second set is now displaying its own peculiarities. Tuning in to certain channels there is a picture but no sound. How much longer before this one also has to be thrown away I wonder? So, would I recommend this make of TV? What do you think?

Good: Very easy to use,mwell built, sound is excellent

Bad: Nothing

Comment: This is my first LCD TV. It was a Christmas present. I had read about LCDs and how bad the sound quality was, but I am delighted with the 15W per channel on this TV. It is also well built.

Good: Picture quality, especially with PC input

Bad: Limited connections - digital tuner EPG

Comment: This is my first large-screen LCD TV - the digital EPG is naff, as is the quality of the digital tuner (compared to my Thompson PVR or Humax digibox) - but I don't have a very good digital signal - however, the screen quality and price overcome these niggles
