LG37LG3000 37" LCD TV

Which similar products have you used?

Only a 28" CRT type TV.

Summary

An excellent TV set but with inadaquate operating & setting up instructions.

How long have you used the product?

Less than 1 month

What are the strengths?
Lovely colour, even though I experimented with adjustments once I had downloaded the complete Instructions onto my laptop.
The sound is very good & I have my DVD player/recorder hooked into the TV's speaker system. When playing music I set the sound to the SRS TruSurround setting & the result was excellent for TV speakers. I have since had Virgin's V+ system installed & mainly record movies. I sometimes need to adjust the screen size from 16:9 to Zoom 1 or 2 depending on the film to fill up the screen.
It took a bit getting used to the 37" screen size after using a 28" TV, but I'm fine with it now.
What are the weaknesses?
The few pages in English in the Owner's manual that come with the TV set leave a lot to be desired, & certainly don't do justice to the quality of the set itself. Since this is my first LCD set, & my first TV replacement for 10 years I would have thought the instructions & diagrams would have been more explicit & detailed. E.g. connecting the stand to the TV was a real pain. How you're supposed to insert the 4 bolts through the stand into the TV set at the bottom of 4 tubular/cylindrical holes about 2" deep is a mystery. Not having a magnetic screwdriver & unable to see if the bolt holes are lined up at the bottom is nigh on impossible. I was only able to get one bolt screwed in properly. Howeve, once the TV is set up on the table & the weight of the set is on the stand there's no problem.
The next problem was that the diagram of the remote control's buttons did not give enough details of what each button did. Consequently when I was doing the automatic channel set-up on screen it onl
