thanks a lot.... will try it at home.

yup, LG is too bright and it has no back light control option on standard menu. i'm yet to try the service menu if there is an option to tune the back light. the grainy picture might due to it inferior XD Engine.... on PC mode XD is inactive and the PQ is just fabulous.....of course depending on the source file.

If possible try change to other brand, LG QC really got problem.

yup...only the 42" is using S-IPS panel AKA hard panel....

as for the brightness and back light, I believe it can be tuned in the service menu but "DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK".

To get into SM, press n hold the menu button on the remote, then press n hold the menu button on the TV for about 6sec until the menu pops up. i'm yet to have time to tweak this. Try to serch in AVForum and AVS and their model is LC2D (D stand for digtal tuner)

about the DVD, you might want to try it on other TV before concluding. what is the connection of your DVD player to the TV? that might just the disk at fault??

Bro,have u try call customer service?

LG is famous for the after sales service, last time when I had problems with my vacuum cleaner, they loaned another vacuum cleaner for me to use until mine has been fixed by the service centre. I was like    ........ wah ...... so good ar..... just a vacuum cleaner wor.

Wow... that is NICE!!.
Hope your LCD is problem free. As for me, I have no problem so far with my LG Plasma that I bought a year ago.

Can I ask the LG 42" users, are you satisfied with the PC mode connection. is it clear enuff using dvi-hdmi. lets say can u surf the net from 8ft away. or u must sit say 3 or 4 feet away.

want to use it for both pc and tv mode, at the convenient of sitting at the sofa.

what is the LG standard warranty covers. How much is it to extend warranty for 1 year? are they using good capacitors.

Pls check post #92 for cash and delivery price
it seems Toshiba 42" is closing the gap of LG 42", by a diff of RM500 and warranty 2 year vs 1 year.

I wonder if I should park the money NOW.

As I have been monitoring, the price keep dropping by about RM 200 per week. If my prediction is correction, I will be on my way to SS2 next week.

I just found my 37" LG got differential backlight problem. The right side is too bright while left side is just nice.

I just bought the LG 37", not realising after so many problem Edifier is going through. I still hope my problem not too big.

Appreciate if Edifier can pm me the contact no of the LG enginner. May be they can perform the backlight adjustment. I should have bought the Toshiba 37" 

By the way, I got it fro Harvey Norman and they dont carry Toshiba LCD TV.
