 LG LFD790 December 26, 2008
This system is dynamite! Particularly if you are an audiophile. For the money,the sound is very good. The system is a great enhancement for HDTV...especially the medium sized ones like the 32 and 37in in moderate sized rooms. The DVD player is upconverting and is very close to the picture provided by Blu-Ray. The fact that it has a hookup for XM radio (along with AM_FM) makes it totally unique. It also plays MP3's and CD's. There's also a USB port. It was not too difficult to hook up, but the non-audiophile members of my family find it a little challenging to operate. The sleek design makes it look like it came with my HDTV. This is one the best purchases that I have made in a long time!
Nice Sound, Akward User Interface December 20, 2008
I have owned this product for more than a year and I am satisfied with it. While I know it has its quirks, I am okay with them and happy with the product.
The user interface is less than easy to navigate. To change audio inputs, one has to change the TV to the proper channel and use the on-screen menus to make the changes. This can get really annoying, especially when other people, who aren't familiar with the product, try to use it. Because of this, I only use it when playing movies on my blu-ray player. I television's speakers for the cable and x-box. (I am fine with that though. While I wouldn't want to watch a movie on the television's sub-par speakers, I don't care about playing games or watching TV.)
I am not an audiophile so I can't speak to much for the sound. It has always sounded great to me. For those who like to change levels this product doesn't have an equalizer but it has always sounded great in my living room.
As a DVD upconverter I can't say too much either. I only ran a few DVDs through it before I bought my blu-ray player. I think that it did about as well as my Panasonic blu-ray player for upconversion. It seemed to struggle with my "Scrubs" DVDs and reds seemed to sometimes throw it off but I have noticed the same with my Panasonic.
I am still satisfied with this product. A 2.1 system is all I need. I really enjoy the way the speakers look and I like the plain front of the unit itself. While I can't do everything I would like with it, it suites my wants just fine. Someday I will buy a different system, but maybe I won't.
 Okay for what it is December 27, 2008
This system is clearly geared as an improvement over the speakers built into your television. The sound quality is pretty good, although there is no real way to adjust via an equalizer. I've been pleased with the quality from the upconverting DVD player, although I don't know if this is a big selling point now that blu-ray players have come down in price.
My biggest gripe is the fact that the amp is built into the sub and not the DVD player. That means that you are limited in where you can place the sub - you're basically stuck with putting it right next to your TV and not next to your couch or in a corner.
I have this system in a family room where running a full surround sound system really wasn't an option, so this has served us well. But now that I have a blu-ray player, I've found that it's really not expandable. With how I have to wire one player into another, it now only works with the blu-ray and not with the TV.
