This model has LED lights around the edge of the TV frame giving you an ultra slim TV that is perfect for wall mounting. LG LED TVs are also more energy efficient so you will save 40% of power consumption compared to LCD TVs saving you up to £100 per year

Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the LG 42LE7900
-
Hello,
I cant seem to link my Stereo system up with this tv, does anyone have any advise
thanks
-
It should work but depends what input connections are on your stereo. I use a 5.1 surrond system connected via the component output
-
-
Has this tv got everything i need if not is there a make where i can have a built in dvd player
-
No dvd in this tv. I prefer seperate units.
-
-
do i need an HDMI cable or would a scart be sufficient for this tv to connect to my dvd player (which isnt blue ray) and i dont have a ps3, just a dvd recording system?
-
If the DVD player 'upscales' you would need to use hdmi to take advantage of that. If it does not upscale then it probably doesn't have an hdmi port anyway.
Basically if your DVD player has an hdmi connection you should probably use it, if you shop around you can get one for about £5-10.
Hope this makes sense, if not feel free to ask me to clarify any bits that aren't clear.

hi i have recently bought this tv and like alot of people i have the air bubble problem round the edge, but can you tell me if your screen tilts forward or atleast seems to? mine definatly does as i have had a level on the back and its out by a fair bit, if you could help that would be great, thanks
-
no - mine is or looks perfectl upright .... hope this helps
-
No we don't have air bubbles and ours is on a stand and is perfectly up right.
-
No air bubbles and standing perfectly straight! Perhaps you have a faulty one and need to check with place you bought it from?!

Score 9.0/10I have had a Samsung LED and this is much easier to use.
Sound is OK for such a slim TV, but I some times use the jack plug output to feed my stereo amp, this works well because you can still adjust the volume will the TV remote.
