LG 42LK450U 42-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD TV with Freeview

mmille24

I think this is a pretty good deal. 330 pounds and free shipping. Not many reviews out there for it because it's a new model but the specs look good to me.

Yes. The one review. I'm doubting all the TVs are defective. I bought one, we'll see.

Don't know if Saorview compatible, plan on hooking it up to a digital box.

They're able to ship this to Ireland now.
Before it stopped at 32" TVs from what I recall but this one does ship...

I just bought one last Thursday in Powerchitty...Don't rub it in FFS:mad:

Not a bad telly, good at playing downloaded DivX movies.

Find the picture brightness a bit weird. Seems dark on some images and bright on others.
Also the backlight is very noticable with the black images aren't that black.

LG and Samsung ship at 32" and selective models above that size.

Smaller Toshibas, 22" etc. seem to ship without issue, odd that.

Original set now showing at £400.

mine arrived today. will set it up tonight when its quiet and let you know what its like.

Now £379.00 at 2:26pm.

Powercity had reduced it to €446.00, now back up to €479.00 but they'd possibly move on that price.

CMpunked

still £379/€430 as of now.

Decent price all the same, just not as good as £329.


Chriscl1, Do you game?

Not much these days. I will try a few games and see if there is any difference compared to my Phillips full hd tv though.

Thats the deal breaker for me. I cant seem to find any good indepth online reviews about it.

I got mine today. Actually received one on Thursday but it was broke (glass cracked in shipment) and it's been a pain getting it sent back. Hopefully, they'll come pick it up tomorrow.

However, new TV looks great though, no issues so far.

Thanks OP, setup the TV yesterday and it is perfect. USB player is a nice touch.

its gone up to £406.96 now :eek:
thats €460.
will it go back down again?

Big Tone

Hardly Normal has it for €458 "SAVE €200" they say...yea right!

http://www.harveynorman.ie/lg-42-full-hd-42lk450u.html

Thinking of getting one though.

The reviews of it on amazon have built up and overall very favourable (except for where the ones where the tv got damaged in transit, not the fault of the tv let's face it!!)

yeah, its fantastic, i have the ps3 hooked up for the blu-rays and they look better than on the phillips 1080p i have in the other room, the games on the 360 look much sharper too. great tv.

tinyter28

I got the same model from richer sounds through boards for £379 and its great quality (extra £20 for next day delivery)

Only hang up is that some of films I have wont play through the USB... dont think the files are supported but thats 3-4 out of 60 odd
