I have bought Samsung TVs and monitors, and have generally been happy with them, but I had a 40 inch Samsung that still works, but had horizontal lines that kept getting worse. My living situation changed, so I am now using this TV as a monitor for PC gaming. The pixels are visible at close proximity, so I don't think it would be great as a main monitor; but that is true of all TVs (also, I couldn't imagine trying to write a Word document on 42 inches). I think they look cool, but it requires you to have a stand about as wide as the TV itself.

I haven't had much of a glare with this TV as I did with my older one.
The sound is fine. Nothing spectacular, but as good as or better than any other flat screen I've seen. I don't really use the on board speakers, so I can't give a solid opinion.

The width and height of the LG 42in is actually about the same as the old Samsung 40in, because this LG has a very narrow rim/border whatever- I 'd say 1/2 to 3/4 inch. The LG is also much narrower and has a more uniform back, so I think this would be a good one to mount. It's pretty light, I had no trouble setting it up by myself (although, the size makes it awkward to carry, you should use 2 people if you can).

The only mixed feelings about this TV I have are the legs. I think they look cool, but it requires you to have a stand about as wide as the TV itself. I have mine pretty close to the edge, and decent knock to my cabinet could probably send this thing into a tumble. It's not a huge problem, because the legs are sturdy. Also, the provide and anchoring kit to hold the TV to the wall if it were every knocked over. I don't use it, but it's a good idea.I paid about $400 for this TV. It's hard to part with $400 and not feel some sort of buyer's remorse, but so far I think this TV has a pretty good bang to buck ratio.
