    Perfect TV for an apartment

    LOVE this TV!! I had a 27" LG LCD prior to this for 6+ years. I was infatuated with the clarity that it had, even after all those year's of moving in/out of college dorms. Never once posed an issue, and was literally the best TV I ever had! Now moving up to this 43" LG LED, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed; boy was I right! I am in love with this TV, and plan on keeping it for quite some time. Picture clarity is pristine, I honestly don't notice a difference between this and those $1,000+, 65" hdlcd TV's. It's the perfect size for an apartment!

    I upgraded to this LG 42" TV from a 32" Sony LCD HDTV that was seven years old. It was getting old, and needless to say, I needed a unit whose picture would just 'pop out at me.' This TV does just that. The display is perfect and everything is so crisp and clear, and flows smoothly. The audio, too, is pretty clear. It makes watching TV enjoyable. I honestly have no complaints. It's LG, and the price is good for what you get. You won't be disappointed.

    i have nothing but LG tv's in my house. this tv looks great due to it's thinner profile and slim bezel around the edge of the screen. my only knock on this tv is the amount of time it takes to turn on. you press the power button and the red LED on the bottom takes a few seconds to turn off to let you know the tv is powering on. so sometimes i press the power button again not realizing that the tv is powering on. this is common with the LF series and the LB series i bought a year ago. the other thing is when wall mounting the tv the hdmi connector is kind of blocked by the mount. depending on your mount you might lose an hdmi port. kind of rough when it only comes with 2 ports.

    Got the 42" version of this TV - I wanted a TV that has good picture and sound, the smart part is taken care by the Roku/Chromecast I have already. Pros: 1. The picture quality is great at 1080p, the colors are represented accurately and has a high contrast ratio. 2. Unlike most TV's the sound is fairly good and loud, so the additional soundbar or speakers are not required. 3. The slim metallic bezel is a visual delight. Cons: 1. The remote control quality could have been better. 2. The V stands on the TV look great, but need a wider TV stand to place the TV on. 3. Only 2 HDMI ports - one at the side and all others ports at the back, making them almost impossible to access in a wall mount scenario.

    3 days in review. Good impression

    So far I am pleased with this tv. Right off the bat I can say the worst so far is the stands. Where ever your placing the tv better be about 39" wide and to turn the whole tv requires picking up the whole tv. But not a problem if your wall mounting. The picture in my opinion is good only negative is for dark Colors in low light conditions. I personally don't care but if your vary picky about things like that just be wary. O and only 2 hdmi ports wish it had a few more. But over all for $350 you can't beat it and am vary happy so far

    The picture is perfect, no complaints, connected my Macbook and watch Netflix with the sound transferred to the TV and it's like having an Apple TV. When I first got the TV the controller wasn't working so I was a little disappointed but I changed the batteries and that fixed the problem. I wish the legs were not so far apart but that's something minimum. Love the tiny bezel, makes the tv look very elegant.

    This tv is great. Not only does the tv itself look amazing, but the picture on it is perfect. I didn't want to get a 4K for this one and this was by far the best deal for the size i could find. It's easy to use, great picture, sound is good, overall LG is a great brand of TV! I've had one for 9 years now and wouldn't go with any other brand for a tv like this!

    Great TV for this price range and even better when I was prepared to pay the price listed online but it was on sale in the store. No problems having it hooked up and going in 10 minutes. Sleek looking, lightweight so it's easy for one person to move around as needed. Plan to mount it on the wall in the next week and will update my review if there's problems with that.

    Really like the TV. The price was fantastic, as we got it on sale, but the quality of the TV is fantastic. It's very sleek and modern looking, and the clarity of the picture is great, especially for the price. Very pleased.

    The whole transaction was great. Searched online for a reasonably priced larger, but slim TV for my 92 year old mother so she could watch the US Open. I read the reviews, chose it based on its price and paid for it online. I got to the store, picked it up and I was out the door in minutes. An employee helped me put it in my car and I was off. It was easy to set up and it was easy for my Mom to use the remote. Simple and good sized numbers. I am very satisfied with the picture and sound.

    I am impressed with the LG LED television sets, especially the LF5600 models (32 and 42 inch). Both have great picture and excellent sound-- much better sound that the new Samsung sets. Both are excellent buys. The only catch is they both have only two HDMI ports, a problem if you have cable, a streaming box and a DVD player. These sets do not have Smart capabilities. That is OK because I find the Smart TV sets are not keeping up with the latest streaming sites. You are much better off buying a non-smart set and buying a streaming player such as Roku or Apple TV.

    My 7 year old Samsung 32 inch TV unexpectedly died. I did some research & discovered that Consumer Reports gave LG its top rating of "A" along with several other brands. My next question was should I get a smart TV. I read another article that suggested if you already own a Amazon Fire TV Stick or similar device you probably don't need a smart TV to enjoy access to Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, HBO GO, and Hulu Plus, as well as games & music. In addition, according to that article, a Smart TV may slow down operations of your TV. The price was much less than what I paid for my broken Samsung so I decided to buy the LG 42LF5600 42-Inch 1080p LED TV (2015 Model). After well over 30 days I am very pleased with my purchase. The picture quality is GREAT, the internal speakers are loud enough for me to hear the sound while exercising. In addition, if I want to listen through external speakers I was easily able to hook up my 3-year old receiver. In summary I give this TV an A++.

    Bought this for my Mother. Was trying to maximize the limited space she had and this size fit great, and was priced well below similar models. It has a great picture, and surprisingly good sound. She often watches from across the room, and it has enough volume to easily allow her to do that. Easy setup and easy for her to understand. Exactly what we were looking for!

    To be fair I didn't know that much about the various different options for TVs when I made this purchase. Thankfully I had an excellent sales associate that guided me through the various considerations and I have been completely satisfied with both the picture quality and overall experience with this TV. I would definitely recommend this TV for those interested in a larger screen size without the larger price tag.
