Bought on Dec 13th 2008. TV went bad with broken tilled picture within a week. Retailer replaced it. Jan 15 2009 this replace TV also goes bad with "This function is not available now" message constantly flashing. Logged a case with LG. Writing this review on 21st FEB 2009 and still LG has no response at all. I dumped the TV and buying Samsung. My bad that I trusted LG.
