Provides a decent picture and sound. I have had TV in use only for 4 days so far

Provides a decent picture and sound. I have had TV in use only for 4 days so far. I like the idea that it has variable economy settings. It works best for me at medium. Since I have an electrical use meter, I will be checking the electrical use of this TV. The only problem I had was assembling the base. None of my dozen or so Phillips screwdrivers fit the screw head without too much slack or being able to even turn the screws. I called the customer service, and they advised that it was a metric screw. I went to Home Depot and the clerk pointed out to me that one of their screwdriver sets had a Phillips driver that fit this screw. I tested it in the store on one of the screws, and it fit perfectly. Bottomline was I had to purchase two more screwdrivers to add to my already vast collection of tools at a cost of about $10. So if anyone has a similar problem, they can purchase a DeWalt 2 PC./P. Demolition Drivers set. Set contains one Phillips and one flathead screwdriver. I have a Panasonic LED TV that I am using the LG to replace. After a few years of use the Panasonic started the red-light of death symptom. That is when you turn it on in the morning, it shuts itself off. You need to plug and unplug the electrical connector to get it to play reliably. I understand that several brands have this same problem, and that it probably indicates that the power supply needs to be replaced. I surfed the web and found the problem with most brands, but could not find the same with the LG TVs. Hopefully, the LG does not develop the same problem. For LG I suggest that they explain in the user manual better what has to be done to be able to use their screws to assmeble the base. They might also consider including an inexpensive metric system screwdriver with each TV sold in the U.S. I purchased this TV from Amazon, notwithing the screw problem, everything else so far has been more than satisfactory with this transaction. I finally heard from LG customer service. They suggested that I order replacement screws with part number FAB30016122 from [...]. I completed checking the power consumption at medium- LG 51 watts, and 95 watts for the Panasonic 32-inch TV it replaced.The product itself is a 4.5/5 TV. The image of crisp, sound is okay. However, lack of inputs and outputs on this TV and you need a long narrow screw driver to assemble the TV stand. Otherwise, you won't be able to screw in the bolts! I had to go out and purchase one from Home Depot. Triple XD engine from LG has had an improvement over 2011 models, including LG 32LK330. Consumers who wishes to purchase this product must understand that this model isn't a high-end product. It's more like in between mid-high and high-end. It is definitely better than any other TV products in 32inch range. I personally checked the picture quality in stores myself and it had the most crisp and accurate display of colors. People who wants to buy this product, please see the backside photo! The Amazon's description isn't correct at all! --Update: it's kinda weird but, as per LG's product description says that it is a 1280x720 resolution, when i hook up to the hdmi port, resolution is set to 1360x768. hmm... anyways, HDMI output is great.
