Yes I could say the same thing about LG.

I've had 2 TVs from them.

1 developed banding after a year and the other had the sound problem, which LG didn't take seriously.

I've gone off LG now and try to avoid them, but I know it is down to the LCD lottery more than the manufacturer.

The Samsung TV D6530 (my first) has a know fault of juddering if you have processing on, and also isn't full HD on 3D even though it was advertised as such.

You might be interested in this, which gives an investigation report into full HD 3D on various sets and Samsung's response to problems with the 6**** series.

Yes it confirms that the D6*** series doesn't have full HD 3D.

Thankfully I didn't get the TV for the 3D or even the so called Smart TV options, but mainly because it was thin enough for me to move on my own and had usb recording of freeview.

Personally I think 3D is over rated. I can't watch for long anyway.

Smart TV doesn't add much either.

I am just sharing my past experience i had. I am glad to hear that you don’t have any problem with it. The experience that I had was terrible, a particular item? I guess you know it was just a particular item somehow.

Has your TV arrived yet? Just wondering if you've checked out the sound issue?

yes arrived this morning the model is 42LS3400 LG
HAVE not found a headphone socket!!! can you add any comments thanks..

I'm afraid that is a different model to the one I had so can't comment on it.

ok thanks .. this model seems to have less connections than the 32 model.
