LG 32LC56 any good? Got about £400 to spend.

aussiewantsaps2 · 09-10-2007, 09:37

Im looking for a good 32" lcd with Freeview, HD ready, good sound and a good range of input/outputs and found the LG 32LC56 for £401 delivered, is it any good? Is there better around for the money?

Can't comment on LG as we don't sell them, but I would suggest listening to one, LCD's and Plasma's generally have pretty poor sound (no depth for decent speakers).

As many people use them with a surround sound system this isn't usually a problem - but don't expect too much from the TV speakers.

Had a look at the LG in Currys and its good. Turned up the volume to full and it was hard to say if it was good or not as in such a noisy open space. Anyone else got any tips or know what a good wattage is for a TV sound?

To save endless speculation, buy it and get a refund if you don't like it. Some places even refund postage costs if you are lucky.

Will Currys refund just because "you dont like it"?

And you weren't chucked out??? Seriously the sound quality is as good as any you will find in this price range. I set mine up at home and the OH's first comment was - "God, it's loud". Unless you are watching it in a mansion you won't have the volume up beyond the bottom quarter of the range. It's a nice clean sound too so I'm sure you won't be disappointed with it.

Ordered one and its coming Friday, was only £400 so really good deal as £550 in Currys.

I've just bought exactly the same TV from comet and am really pleased with it. The only issue I do have is that I can't get my SKY+ remote control with it. I've tried lots of suggested code numbers from various web sites without any success.

Can anyone confirm if they have got their SKY+ remote control to work with this TV, what code number they used and the version number of the remote control.

My remote control is fairly new, its a version 6 but I suspect it is still too old.

Many thanks
Gary.

Buy a new remote, I think version 8 is the current one?.
