LG 47LE5300 any opinions?

This fella looks pretty well priced for it's size. Does anyone have any thoughts?
I currently have a Tosh 42x3030D which is starting to display horrible vertical lines and the backlight has started to flicker.

I have the 32LE5300.

Picture quality is very good, wide range of options to tweak it to your taste, inbuilt speakers are 'ok'...certainly enough for casual viewing.

The only thing I can say about this TV that'd be negative would be that there's a bit of input lag; not enough for me to notice a difference when gaming, but enough for there to be an echo when I run my amp+speakers direct from Sky box/BluRay player and leave the TV speakers on. I don't have any experience of other LED LCD TVs, but I've heard that it's not an issue exclusive to this model.

Im going to get the 42" version. Im going to use it mainly for gaming and blu ray. Would you reccomend it Phil?

How does the component slot work? Is there some kind of adapter that comes with it?

I'd recommend it.

The component goes into a 3.5mm headphone-style port on the side of the TV and comes with a cable to go from component -> 3.5mm

I must say that the echo you mention with the speakers is a bit off putting. Maybe they will fix it in the next firmware release.
