      Great tv but but can't adjust the picture.

          Comments about LG 42" Black Plasma 720P HDTV:

          In the manual is says "If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for a long period of time, it will become imprinted and become a permanent disfigurement on the screen. This is "image burn" or "burn-in" and not covered by warranty." Well this tv has a few picture adjustment ratio settings and no matter what one you adjust it to, there is always a little black bar on the bottom of the screen. On our cable box there is a black bar, on blu ray and dvd there are black bars. Usually most tv's offer some type of adjustment on the zoom setting. This tv on the zoom ratio setting will leave a little black bar. We can't use this tv because of this reason and i'm sure this would be so easy to fix if only there was a minutes consideration given to this problem.

                          We love this tv. It does have high light reflection, but we don't have a problem since we moved it. The picture is so sharp, clear, and the colors are so bright, it is as though you looking right out your window. We were looking for a lcd but so glad we bought this one. For the price you really can't beat it!!

                              Very good picture. Wide viewing area from sides without picture fade. Expanded menu with great features. Over the air input. The only dislike to me is sound quality. Sounds a little tinnie to me. Overall a great tv at a reasonable price.

                                  I bought a 32 inch for the bedroom, as the bedroom is small, the TV was perfect. In fact, found myself in the bedroom watching more TV than the large front room set ! OUTSTANDING picture and color ! Finally, for the SUPER BOWL, replaced the front room with a 42inch , and I couldnt be happier ! Both sets, color, picture, sound, all just amazing ! Could not be more satisfied !
