Guys,

I have bought the LG LH50 3 weeks ago and i am really not happy with it,the 24fps does not work correctly and "jumps" on certain movies. I have contacted LG on this issue and asked them for a firmware update but i feel no one there seems to know what a "firmware" is.Our tv firmware is version 4.04,different from the US and Singapore versions.WE in Malaysia Pay more for this set and get less features while in singapore,their sets play DIVXHD.

Please,if anyone know how to update or has an update for this set,let us know

Check out LG Singapore

Legend is going for a 42" LH50 for RM3190.

Is it worth it?

The trumotion is definitely better than the last Philips I bought.

Also don't have the backlight problem.

The only problem I see is that it is not as crisp as Philip.
If only Philip had improved the hd-motion and the backlight
issue, I might have kept it.

So, any comments on the LG PH50? Any weakness, side effects?

I've researched the internet, nothing much said about it so far.

For such a cheap 200hz lcd, I'm surprised no one
has bought it yet.

And fear that there is fishiness for such a cheap
200hz lcd.

I heard that Legend give cheap prices,but also sometimes give used product..so be careful...

anyway,the LH50 is a basic tv,if you want,please go for the philips 7000 series..the 200 trumotion sucks and the 24fps has issues..and another thing..astro SUCKS big time on this set..

Well, biasalah price of electronics drop pretty fast.

But how's the quality? Does the image seems crisp enough for you?
I tested it out with my Asus mini pc - hdmi connection, and it seems
very DVD-9 quality like.

I think the auto dim feature is a power saving option for the TV,where the picture goes from dim to bright depending on your lighting..

Anyway,i have turned my 200hz mode to "off",i just cannot stand the juddering effects,
If you have decided on this TV,please check also on the warranty,its either 2 years or 2+1..

Please be aware that malaysian sets do not play DIVX-HD,has only 3 hdmi (not 4 as per singapore sets)..you also cannot upgrade the firmware to play MKV files coz its customed to malaysia

But all the Philips have the judder effect and the auto-dim issue.

If you haven't notice, just concentrate on the Philips and you'll
see that it'll auto-dim itself to adapt the bright and dark scene.

I called Philips and told them the problem and they were happy
to give me a full money refund.

I've tested the LH50 with The Wrestler movie.
The opening titles of the movie have the text infront and the
background panning from behind. In my old Philip the text
and background judder like crazy.

But in the LH50 the judder seems minimal.

There weren't any auto-dimming issue either.

I believe there are ways to check with the LG Headquarters
whether your set is a new set or not.

So for me, this is too good to be true,
especially for a knock-out price at RM3190.

I'm waiting for a second person opinion of having the LH50 set
commenting the pros and cons before i decide of getting it.
