The LCD's screens are matte black with no sheen and hence no glare. It is one of the best items I have ever purchased. I didn't want to get a plasma tv because I HATE how glossy the screens are. Also, FYI the only major technical difference between the 2007 42LBX "Opus" and the new 2008 model 42LG60 "Scarlet" is there is one extra side HDMI slot and the contrast ratio is higher (50,000:1).PROS: 120HZ means no motion blur, great/classy piano black finish but no glossy screen, awesome picture, great menu controls, WAY LOWER PRICE THAN OTHER 120hz LCD TV's. I watch alot of sports so I really wanted the 120HZ so I didn't have to watch choppy motion. CONS: Speakers aren't very loud and don't put out the greatest sound either. A few weeks after I bought this TV I set up one of my 720P 32" LCD TV's next to the LG during a Saturday night of College Football (so we could watch two games simultaneously) and the 60HZ TV had a definite motion blur, the LG with it's 120Hz, as I had hoped, had none.
For the money this has to be the best TV you could possibly find anywhere. I have owned the LG42LBX 42" LCD TV for about 6 months now. I was looking at a Sony 37" LCD that was about $400-500 more than the LG and the Sony was only 60HZ. I own 3 LCD TV's which are all great but the LG stands above them all. For starters, I purchased for only $1,100. No picture in picture.
Even though technology for these TVs is always improving, I don't think there is much more room for improvement. All are spectacular.
It is 2007 model, but still has mostly all the bells and whistles that the new Scarlet line has. I have a PS3 and have watched blue-ray movies, played online games, and watched up-converted DVDs.
This TV from LG is an unbelievable deal. The 1080p with 120Hz processing does an incredible job.
I have had it for 2 months now. For $1099, this TV packs an incredible punch.
If you are looking for an all around top performer without the high-end price tag, this TV is for you.
We lived in Germany for a few years, and there LG is THE BRAND. Especially when we bought it for such a good price. Not Sony, samsung, yada yada yada. Only because Best Buy does price matching, we were able to get it for less that what it cost Best Buy. So when we stumbled onto it at Sears for only 1099.99, we knew we had an OUTSTANDING deal. We've been watching the tv now for a few days and EXTREMELY enjoy it. We recently bought this tv from Best Buy.
But we knew, despite what the sales people often told us, that LG is a FANTASTIC brand. We shopped for quite a while, atleast 3 months, looking for the best fit for our family. We are upgrading from a 32" tube tv, so really, anything would've been better than what we had. Great Tv, Great Value.
