LG - Scarlet 42LG60FR

Dear Friends,

Need inputs on the above subject

LCD TV:
Is LG - Scarlet 42LG60FR better/good than rest of the brands (sony, samsung etc..)

Please advise

Thanks
SK

short answer - NO!

longer answer - check them out yourself and see, but reviews seem to suggest that with regard to LCD panels LG trails behind the likes of Panasonic, Sony and Samsung.

Hi
Please refer to my earlier post on " Why I bought Samsung 32A450" ?, posted couple of days back. The reviews of Scarlet series is very good. In fact PC world claims Scarlet as the best LCD TV(consumer research). CNET is critical of it, although agrees that the color is great and the setup features are quite a lot. The reviews complain of less blackness but are happy about the color details. the reviews compare Scarlet to Samsung 5 series and 6 series and Sony X or KLD? series. Sony's latest series is very higly recommended but not seen here in India. Samsung's 5 and 6 are well reviewed and still have flaws. I bought Samsung 4 series for the cost reason. All features of Scarlet will beat any other TV which is available. They are generous in number of inputs they provide. is 120Hz. Can control the picture. The viewing angle is good. The uniformity is a bit less. Beyond this, it is a matter of personal choice and opinion of viewing the actual content.

Hope this helps,
Ashok

How much are you planning to spend? If its close to a lac, there's only one choice... the Pioneer 428XD(4280XD) in India.

LG - Scarlet 42LG60FR is at my place...and its real cool

now planning for a HDMI DVD player to match the LGScarlet and A/V receiver

Guys/Gals ->pls suggest a good HDMI DVD Player

how is sony DVP-NS708HP/B ????

I have it and it's very good....but i have no other players to compare with on my TV....but images are very crisp and clean and the colours are natural and balacned....it upscales really well.....

how much did you pay for it btw?

hi! what is btw??

It is the short form of "by the way"

Does TV have upscaling? I mean, if I connect it do a 480p DVD player by video component, will the TV upscale it to 1080p or something like that? Is there an option in the TV to do that? I have this TV but the 16:9 DVD images don´t occupy all the space on the screen. There are black targets vertically and horizontally.

By the way, for those who asked, the black levels are horrible. If you plan to watch dark-scened movies, don´t go for this TV.
