you can register, but in order to place an order, you have to have a TD Visa.

[LankyD]

Yeah, I'm on the fence right now. I am waiting for LN40B610 deals on boxing week but this one seems pretty good. Usually LG < Samsung but what do you guys think about this tv? I can't seem to find reviews on amazon.com.

[Seifer]

[torontostore]

its LG afterall, don't be sad people.

[Creeper21]

i'm assuming this is very similar to the LH40 which has gotten some good reviews if you skip the synch issue. Hopefully mine won't have that problem :-)

Still about 200$ cheaper then FS (on sale at 999 right now).

[densil_lopez]

Oos


oos :(:(

they are going to add more stock on november 17 on this LG 42 and 55 inch television.........good luck and happy shopping....

[Intricated]

Got a call earlier this evening from the courier (Sameday Right-O-Way), and they are coming Monday. Exciting to join the rest of civilization in the 21st century with this purchase!

[kid3]

Received my TV today , looks great ..

[bellboy26]

thats a silly comment, LG has been making nice LCD's for many years

[Vinman]

How good is this TV and price? Thanks!

If you don't mind a HUGE gap between the video and audio over HDMI, then buy it. :lol:

I was a big LG fan before their latest 120/240Hz models, but these HDMI sync issues are absolutely insane - I witnessed it first-hand on both the LH40 120Hz and LH55 240Hz models and it's virtually unwatchable.

[Vinman]

i'm assuming this is very similar to the LH40 which has gotten some good reviews if you skip the synch issue. Hopefully mine won't have that problem :-)

Personally, I think it's a problem with the video processor and is not a "system setting" issue like many have stated. My LH40 fluctuated like mad, from full synch to a good second to two ahead/behind, all within the same BR movie.

The same with a friend's (now returned) LH55 240Hz, the audio sync and echo was driving him crazy so he called me over to look at it. Once I heard it, and showed him a few thousand Google hits from people with the exact same problem, he dragged it back to FS ASAP.

I think this is why this LG 120Hz TV is on sale - it has a HORRIBLE word-of-mouth right now and most customers are avoiding LG (for good reason IMO) like the plague. I wouldn't be surprised to see a TON of these on fire-sale during Boxing Day.

[AeonLux]

Maybe I am lucky.. I just got the LH41 today.... don't seem to have any audio/ video problems yet.. hopefully never too :)

[Vinman]

Maybe I am lucky.. I just got the LH41 today.... don't seem to have any audio/ video problems yet..

1) Put a high-end Blu-ray movie in like Dark Knight.
2) Equalize your home theater and TV audio so you can hear both easily.
3) Listen for very noticeable lag/difference in audio.
4) Once you see it, like banding, you will notice it forever.

The audio sync seems to be perfect with any input other than HDMI and was very noticeable with BR movies. I watched Kill Bill on both the LH40 and LH55, and the audio sync and echo was horrible. But Rogers Cable on co-ax, my XB360 over component, Wii over component, etc. were all perfect.

[Vinman]

And if any potential buyers want more information on this issue, as well as the fact the LG Support has fully admitted there are serious sync issues on their latest 120/240 Hz models, check out this thread:

Not thread-crapping, just posting information that I (and probably my friend) would have liked to see before having to drag back a pair of LG 42LH40 and 42LH55 models.

I am interested in this TV for when it goes back in Stock on Nov 17th. Please let us know how it is.

Any audio sync issues?

do you know the difference between this one and one at BB (42LH40) ?

on BB site , it says it doesn't have S-video input and no pc audio input..

[impulsebuy]

^^
i didnt notice any audio synch issues with my ps3 (game and videos), mine was manufactured in Oct 2009 so maybe the issue was fixed?

theres an 'audio in' if thats whats u r referring too and no s-video

only diff that i knew of is the 80k contrast ratio vs 70K in the LH40?

[Intricated]

When I looked at LG's website before hitting the order button on this deal, I didn't see any difference in the specs of H41 vs L40... other than the last digit in the model name, of course.

Sorry I don't know too much about this model. I was looking for a Samsung 37" TV for my bedroom and when this deal came around I grab it.

As for the audio sync problem, I attached the Asus O! play to it and it seem fine to me or at least not noticeable to me.

what time do they start their daily deal?
is it 12 AM EST? 6AM EST? Neither?

The 42LH41 is back today at $700 plus $100 shipping (https://www.shopmyaxs.com/products/product/view/sort/lowtohigh/cid/390/page//bid//sid/67/mid/42LH41-promo/) (in Ontario.) That shipping charge makes it a warm deal.

Also available is the 47LH90 is $1400 plus $120 shipping (https://www.shopmyaxs.com/products/product/view/sort/lowtohigh/cid/795/page//bid//sid/67/mid/47LH90-promo/). This model sports LED backlight and 240Mhz.

My shipping to Richmond Hill was $60.39

[bylo]

I'm in K-W. In any case, if I buy locally shipping is zero. Moreover with MyAXS if there was a problem with the TV and I wanted to return it I'd be $200 out of pocket. That's almost 30% of the purchase price.

[MXMike]

I'm in Montreal, and shipping for the LG 42LH41 is $126, which I think kills this deal. If I choose the 42" LG Plasma, shipping is only $56 and the 42" RCA LCD is $48. Are we getting gouged for shipping on this particular 'deal' or could there be a legit reason such as it coming from a different origin?

[bylo]

Are we getting gouged for shipping on this particular 'deal'
Seems so. For me, on LG models, shipping is:

42PQ30 $40
42LH41 $96

47LH30 $66
47LH41 $66
47LH90 $120

[Genia11]

$60.39 to Mississauga for 42LH41

[jnut]

Shipping rates to Edmonton:

$139 shipping for the 42"
$150 shipping for the 47", 55"

[ayko]

Shipping to Quebec is excessive and from 699 to price jump to 1000, that kill the deal, and i heard that the shipping is done by a Sameday company and not purolator as mentioned on the site. but what frustrate me is when you try to pick up a 47" tv or a bigger model the shipping cost doesn't exceed 75$ , that show that Myaxs team takes by the left hand what are giving us by the right one. :twisted:

[iamzill]

My shipping to Richmond Hill was $60.39


$60.39 to Mississauga for 42LH41

Shipping to downtown Toronto is also $60.39, so I would assume it's the same price for the entire GTA.

Sucks how MyAxs overcharges for shipping outside of GTA. Maybe we should start putting "Hot for GTA only" in every MyAxs thread title.

Would be hotter if they'd allow local pick up :cheesygri

I'd be interested in this too. What did they say?

[kamzaf]

they dont allow local pickup as they are sending it from one middle man supplier.

2. No reuturn policy like FS BB ETC , you will have to call the manufacturer if any problem occours even within 15 days. these are words from CSR of my X
so whats whats your advice ( rfd) ?




thx

[Sinoed]

Shipping kinda kills the deal at $120.. so how is this better than the 46" Toshiba at Bestbuy for $899 (http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926HDS0010115768&logon=&langid=EN)with $55 shipping?

at first when I saw this deal, I set a reminder for myself to buy it today/tomorrow, but think about the return policy, warranty support etc , it is probably not worth it, I would rather wait for a good deal from local BB and FS and in fact, at Costco which comes with 2 yr warranty and 90 day return.

I did the same... was set to buy this today but came to the same conclusion as you, and I'll probably end up getting something at Costco. I just wish they had a nice 42"-47" LCD on sale right now.

[GVRtrader]

Shipping price to Vancouver is insanely high (146 for regular on the 42", 150 on the 47"). Was thinking of getting this deal but now i think i'll wait till boxing day so i can use my BB/FS GC and get the TV on the spot + 30 day exchange in case i get dead pixels (not likely but still i prefer to have that option).

[zoinky]

$124 london this would be a sick deal if the shipping was not so damn high

[kamzaf]

Thanks, I think I'll wait too.

you guys tooks a very wise decision. even they are selling on behalf of TDcanadatrust , but the lady csr was not giving the clear statement about the return .

I wish BB OR FS OR COSTCO should have this deal.

there is deal on BB (USA) FOR SONY BRAVIA TV (S) KDL-40V5100 sku: 9222272 KDL55V5100 , KDL 46V5100 all are 120 hz, the deal is if you buy bd ALONGWITH these tvs you get a very good price

40" with BD comes to be 854 us dollars.

Wow, I would never buy any LCD without a return policy and especially one with as many known problems as these LG 120 Hz sets.

[impulsebuy]

well according to the website u can return it if theres a problem from their side or the product is defective but not sure if dead pixels count..
u also have 30 days to return it but youd have to pay the shipping..i guess returning it to their office yourself would be out of the question since theyre just a middleman?

i dont know of any wide spread issues with these LG 120Hz set besides the hdmi synch issues? but thats an easy fix apparently

A friend and I both got this last time and no dead pixels or synch issues as it was manufactured last month

[Vinman]

i dont know of any wide spread issues with these LG 120Hz set besides the hdmi synch issues? but thats an easy fix apparently

Please tell me how - only the real old models allow access to the service menu and there are people in the US waiting 6+ weeks for an LG tech to come over to flash theirs and adjust the settings.

The "fix" requires a brand new firmware flash and an LG service remote. That's hardly "easy" given the long wait times.

[billsan101]

lol nevermind

[Redfin]

More are in stock now.

I hope it turns out well for me but I bought one. With shipping its still amazing price for the specs and I saw LGs in BB.. tied for the best picture with a lot of the LCDs.

[fly]

I got one when it restocked on Nov 17. No regrets. Like previous poster, mine was also manufactured in Oct 2009 so perhaps they fixed those issues. I can't imagine if they were liquidating them for known problems that they'd still be manufacturing them.

That's good news, but the reason they're being forced to liquidate these is that because of the well-known and documented problems, the LG name is pretty well DOA in HDTVs right now. No one will by them for any amount near a similar-spec Sansung, Toshiba, Sony or Sharp. Even if there is a "fix" no one trusts them and it's been "stay far away from LG" at most of the high-end AV forums.

Since LG screwed the pooch so bad on their latest 120/240Hz models, and cooked their brand name for a few years, their TVs are hitting rock bottom prices. What we're seeing up here is nothing compared to the US, where this TV can sell for $599.

[2heaven]

I just checked now.... looks like sold out again.

Can anyone else confirm?

[signup]

What courier they use and how soon the delivery? Just pull the trigger to this deal. Hope it turns out good for the PQ and no more sync issue.

[signup]

mine was also manufactured in Oct 2009...

What is the firmware ver. for your build?

[fv]

What is the firmware ver. for your build?

Mine is 4.30.1
Bring up the menu using the remote, then highlight the "options" button (don't go into it), then type in 1111111 (seven ones). This will bring up a small window with the version number and update number

I have not seen a lip sync issue yet. I'm using a LG BD300 Bray player and a WDTV Live through a Denon789 HDMI connection.
The only anoying part is that somtimes I can see that the image is shaking or jumping pixels on quick camera moves. I'm planning to disable True Motion to see if it makes a difference...

[fly]

Mine is also ver. 4.30.1

According to AV forum, the audio sync issue was fixed on Aug 20. Not sure when this firmware was released but my TV was manufactured in Oct so that should mean I have the latest firmware.

[Vinman]

The only anoying part is that somtimes I can see that the image is shaking or jumping pixels on quick camera moves.

Mine did that too - do you have Kill Bill 1 on BR? If so, then go to the part where Uma flies into Japan to face Lucy Lui - check out the nose of the plane during the descent and check if the scene halts, then starts up again.

I was watching that on my 42LH40 and it was totally jarring - I did it over and over and over, and the video herky-jerky halted at the exact same spots. Along with the HDMI audio sync issues, that was the part that got me boxing up that beast and returning it to FS - KB1 jerked along on my friend's 240Hz LG42LH90 as well and it's a known issue with these TVs.

There are theories that the LG video processor just can't handle a lot of heavy data, and jitters/jumps/halts a bit during certain high-bitrate sequences.

[drhorrible]

Mine is also ver. 4.30.1

According to AV forum, the audio sync issue was fixed on Aug 20. Not sure when this firmware was released but my TV was manufactured in Oct so that should mean I have the latest firmware.

No, my LH40 was manufactured after Aug 20 and had the HDMI sync issue, despite having the same firmware version as you. The only solution that I have seen is to force whatever HDMI device you are hooking up to it to output (higher-quality) PCM audio instead of Dolby Digital. This solves the HDMI sync issue completely.

Despite this rather large annoyance (it took me awhile to figure this out, and I would have returned it if I didn't find it), I still think the LH40 has the best PQ of any comparably priced TV.

[bL1Nd]

I have placed a deposit on the TV and am truely excited to buy one - its 1000$ at FS. I am getting -200$ from the parents for Xmas so lucky me gets it at 800$.

Sorry to hear you had problems with it Vinman ;( that sucks, ill definitly give KB1 a run on BR when I get it....im hoping seeing im not getting the TV till Dec23rd that I get one of the updated firmware models. Thanks for pointing these things out - for the price im paying it isnt going to deterr me back to the researching table. I have looked all over for a 1080P 120hz 42"+ TV's for less then 1000 and this is the only decent namebrand other then Insignia. I saw a 40" toshiba but 40" is too small (thats what she said). ;)


either way so basically just thought id drop a thanks to fv and vinman for theyr info on the TV... ill definitly check the version.
is 4.30.1 the latest???

[impulsebuy]

well just an update since i saw this thread was updated
very happy with it and the PQ and no synch issue but theres 1 small annoyance..
an input menu will sometimes pop up asking if i want to switch to the component input when i havent plugged anything in there!

[4flava]

fyi - site says more of this 42" and 55" LG tomorrow.
