It's worth noting that flat panel TV’s (especially LCD’s) tend to come with crap factory defaults, again AVforums is your friend when looking for good settings.

I bought the LG and am very impressed.

I previously bought a 42" LG Plasma for the family room and love it so for a 37" for the living room the LG was my first choice. It cost £500 from Empire Direct. I already bought the edXtra cover with the plasma so I'm covered for 3 years on both.

One thing I particularly like on the LC55 is that it accepts a 1080p signal which the plasma doesn't (good for PS/3).

The plasma was about £650 by the way.

I also own a 19" Sammy and the piano black of the LC55 is just as nice, especially on a £50 chrome and black glass stand from Amazon.

And the result:-

After some persuasion JLP price matched empire direct on the Samsung @529. Not the absolute cheapest but includes 5 year guarantee.

Get John Lewis to price match, they give all TV's a free 5 year warranty.

SD picture will always look worse when you have more pixels to stretch across, a HD picture on a 720P would be indistinguishable to a 1080P on a 37” LCD at 8 feet as they human eye cant detect the extra resolution, you’d only start to notice on a bigger screen or when sitting closer.

Couldn't agree more. I got John Lewis to price-match a 46" Samsung 1080p LCD from Empire Direct in Romford. There was a problem with it so I had them take it away 3 weeks later for a complete refund. Ended up getting a 42" Pioneer Kuro 720p plasma and it blows the doors off the Samsung LCD for both SD and HD input. Forget about 1080p - you need at least 46" to detect the difference.
