I'm seriously considering buying this particular unit this January but I'm having second thoughts because of the glitches that some are experiencing. It also made me wonder why the price was marked down almost 50% off the MSRP.
Just like jcads said, this is just an annoying issue. Hope you read my previous posts. I have indicated there how not to experience such nusance if you would follow my instruction. If you are not using "Natural" & "Sport" mode, you will not never encounter it. Should you need to use any of the 2 modes indicated above, make sure to turn on your input source always to prevent the issue#1 from happening. Issue#1 can easily be reset either by changing to other Picture Modes or by switching to other inputs (ie. HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, etc.). My bet here is that this issue is easily solvable by a firmware update from LG.
With that said, this is still the best value for money 32" FullHD unit out there. Features-wise, no other brand could beat it yet at this time. If you decide to get this unit, then you will not get jealous of the other brands as they don't have all of the features that this unit possess. While if you bought another brand, then look into this unit, you will feel that the other brand still lacks some of the important features that this unit has. The color graphical GUI is also nice which I believe most of the other brands does not have. No other brand does carry a colored back casing (in this case, red). Eleant, nice to look at, smooth but doesn't gather fingerprints, and easily dusted. Unlike other brands with dull black-color back casing, which is a fingerprint magnet or easily gather dust and harder to clean. And this is one of the slimmest 32" LCD TV that I could find. I believe only this unit has a 2-way/4 speaker system, as almost all other brand/unit has 1-way/2 speaker system. Hope you know how it should sound then. Your pick then. Except for the PIP/PAP and Card Slot which this unit doesn't have, if you can live without them.
On movie viewing, the images are amazing with a lot of adjustments that you can make to suit your taste. You'll be surprised at how much these settings are. Too long to list them down here. If you are particular about how the images look, better audition this unit at the stores. Hope that they have high definition sources so that you could experience the beauty of this unit.
Hope that I made you think twice before deciding.
