Thanks Monarch, I will bear that in mind. Hopefully Amazon might still be seeling older models.

Hope it doesn't mean there will be a significant increase in lag, motion blur etc

if AUO is worse why do they use it?

How can we tell which type of panel it is?

no idea, but they say that AUO has input lag and motion blur

seeing as i have neither i guess i have the "better" panel

It’s a money saving thing I think, they’re much cheaper to make, with the recession and all that. They’re not that bad to be fair.

LH3000 going back to amazon, this is the seccond time iv'e sent a TV back to them. motion blur, because of the new panels, looks like this has become a very BAD TV. also, the optical and sync issues and would delay the sound, the motion blur would go away after the tv had warmed up after an hour.

You know what, im just going to go back to my little trusty 3 year old philips HDTV, its getting on a bit now but it's never let me down, im going to wait for something good, and when i find it, im going to go into comet or something where i can have a good test of it.

So, shame on LG. why didnt they just keep the IPS.
Sony and LG out of my good books now, might try panasonic...

Hello all, just spent most of my day off reading this thread to try and answer a problem that's been driving me crazy! Hopefully someone can help.

I'm trying to connect my PC to my 42LH3000 but it just won't connect via HDMI. The PC is a HP ixtreme M3720, which has its own HDMI port and an Nvidia Geforce GT 220 graphics card.

When I connect via any of the HDMI ports it tries to connect, before giving a 'no signal' screen. I contacted LG and they recommended a HDMI card swap and firmware update to 3.55- they did both, but no change.

I am able to use a VGA connection, as I am right now, but the Nvidia control panel will not recognise this as HD, and gives a maximum resolution of 1360x768 ('native' - but native for what? the card? certainly not the TV). Although this is ok for reading text, that's not the point

Reading this forum I've now added the input labels (again tried on each of the three HDMI ports), and put in a customer res of 1920x1079 - it accepted this but the image is squashed square and the 'just scan' is greyed out. I can only get 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios.

Ideally I'd obviously like the HDMI connection to work as it never has, but if I can't do that I'd be happy to at least get 1080p on the VGA (that is possible...right?)

Would the magical USB hack make a difference here?
Would upgrading to Windows 7 (from Vista 64b) make any difference?
FWIW, I have the latest Nvidia drivers but read somehwere on here that there is a specific HD TV driver - does anyone have any more info on that?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the rant!

Drew

I am able to connect my computer via HDMI using Windows 7. Maybe its a driver isuue. Try changing drivers or upgrading to Windows 7.

I have a few questions:
1) How can i reduce the sound noise in HDMI and digital cable? When i am on analog the sound is OK, but on HDMI and DVB i can hear a background sound noise and its annoying.

2) How can i see what type of panel my TV has?

3) What type of external HDD should i buy for the USB player? I heard some hard drives are not recognized or have too slow speed to play 1080p movies.
I can play 1080p clips from my old slow memory stick, but i would like an 500GB external HDD. I want a 2.5" drive without external power supply.

Do you think this model will work fine? Its a Samsung 500GB S2 model 2.5"

Hello from Spain
Today I bought this LCD (32lh3000), I receive it on Wednesday and have read about problems with the panels UAO.
Do you know since when UAO manufactures panels for this model?
Is there any information about the type of panel in the service menu?

i tryed to click ok on the remote and ok on the tv at the same time but it didn't work, but im pretty sure you wil also get the AUO panel because this started 5 months ago. You wil be fine if you dont game, but i noticed the motion blur when gaming.
