UPDATE: It's Feb. 16th, 2009 and I'm still loving my LG. Purchased it around June of 2008. No problems at all. Picture is still as awesome as the day I took it out of the box.

I have owned the LG42LBX 42" LCD TV for about 6 months now. It is one of the best items I have ever purchased. I own 3 LCD TV's which are all great but the LG stands above them all. For starters, I purchased for only ,100. I was looking at a Sony 37" LCD that was about 0-500 more than the LG and the Sony was only 60HZ. I watch alot of sports so I really wanted the 120HZ so I didn't have to watch choppy motion. I didn't want to get a plasma tv because I HATE how glossy the screens are. The LCD's screens are matte black with no sheen and hence no glare. A few weeks after I bought this TV I set up one of my 720P 32" LCD TV's next to the LG during a Saturday night of College Football (so we could watch two games simultaneously) and the 60HZ TV had a definite motion blur, the LG with it's 120Hz, as I had hoped, had none. For the money this has to be the best TV you could possibly find anywhere. Also, FYI the only major technical difference between the 2007 42LBX "Opus" and the new 2008 model 42LG60 "Scarlet" is there is one extra side HDMI slot and the contrast ratio is higher (50,000:1).

PROS: 120HZ means no motion blur, great/classy piano black finish but no glossy screen, awesome picture, great menu controls, WAY LOWER PRICE THAN OTHER 120hz LCD TV's.

CONS: Speakers aren't very loud and don't put out the greatest sound either. No picture in picture.
