I purchased a LG 42LB1DRA LCD TV in June 2007 based upon CNet and other recommendations. January 2008, just 6 months out of warranty, the picture went out. $150 replaced 3 capacitors. The authorized repair center stated LG put in the wrong size of capacitors, meant to last a short period and burn out quickly. The capacitors weren't big enough for the power supply. Now again, October 2009, the remaining 7 capacitors had to be replaced as our picture went out again. LG will not honor any repairs. I stated this product should have been on a product recall list as the cheap undersupplied capacitors were wrong for the TV. We paid $1700 in June 2007 for a tv and have spent over $300 in 2 years for repairs that were a manufacturer defect. All LG states is it's out of warranty. Of course it is - as they put in parts to run 1 year and that's it.
DO NOT BUY FROM LG!
