The model and serial numbers should have been impressed on to the carton and not typed and pasted to the carton like I'm seeing,except my eyes are failing me.

But wasn't it gotten from a showroom or a licensed dealer?

Hello, it is still working. Although it's not the original LG but it serves. Although I have since upgraded to Hisense Smart TV and I gave this to my sister.

So glad I found this post. There has been debate regarding picture quality being poor. Yes the TV "serves" but what of the picture quality. Is it crisp & contrasty like the original LG TVs?
Hoping for your response bro.. 🙏

Picture quality is great. 720p.

I used to hookup my ps4 to it and it plays well. Sound is okay too, not the best, but works just fine.

It's been over 2 years now and no issue whatsoever.

Thanks for your response bro, but Wait... 720P? Ain't that too poor & way behind compared to present TVs?

While most televisions now have a resolution of 1080p, there are some high-end models that support 4K. However, when you play 720p content on your TV, you may find that the picture quality is still satisfactory

Well "satisfactory" is very subjective in this case...
I actually made out some time today to visit TV shops, just to check out this particular "LG" Tv. Found one dealer and was able to convince him to unbox the tv and power it on just so I can see the display color quality, promising him that once I find it satisfactory, I will make full payment immediately and leave his shop with the TV. He quickly agreed, and guess what, as he powered the TV on, everything from the UI setup and background colour was off and poor quality. When he finally played a video via flash drive, I had no other option but to quickly tell him to shut it down, repackage it and not bother anymore: picture quality was of extremely low quality, colors look washed out. I seriously doubt the resolution is even up to720P as you claimed. I couldn't imagine watching the TV more than 60secs. My cousin's foreign-used 32inches Samsung is miles ahead. To cut it short, the fake Chinese LG tv is a big nah for me, and I guess it is the same for consumers who don't compromise on quality.

Spent nealy 2hrs probing the electrical market and 98% of the so called LG tvs are all fake...cheap Chinese copies. The only genuine LG Tvs I was able to find are the older foreign-used models which you can easily confirm from their immensely super color displays and UI setup plus, LG logo and SN boldly engraved on them. Some of these Tvs include LG 32LH3000, 32LH2000, 32LD320 and some old genuine Samsungs too. Yes, most of these series are roughly 13yrs old with thick bezels and not smart TVs, but their display colour quality is still far superior than recent LG/Samsung TV clones that have sadly infiltrated the market.

I'm still trying to decide between outrightly going for genuine LG Tvs (very costly) from accredited LG showrooms which is allover my city or settling for the older series. Decision yet to me made.

Nope. It's exactly what you have up there in your post. 2 units tested.. Exactly same colour.
I'm going for the original or foreign-used Samsung..
