    This tv freezes all the freakin time on me, but only when I turn it on. Basically it will be fine for like 30 seconds, then the next thing I know it freezes up. Not on just one input it does it on all of them. It seemed like if I left it on vga or rgb input and turned it on while that input was recieving signal it would not lock up, but lately it is doing it even on that. I unfortunatley bought this tv at Bestbuy, and there return policy blows big time. I also have the 4 year extended warranty on it, but that Is going to be such a pain in the a** i just know it. Anyone else having issues?

    Exactly the same.

    Tv freezes with no sound sometimes. It can be out of the blue or days in a row. but when it does freeze it can last for an hr and the only control that works is the power button on the remote if held down for 5 seconds to switch off the tv.

Sounds like a probable main board issue

Hey guys,

Not really a solution...but I have noticed that since i have unplugged my satellite signal, that was running through regular composite cables, the tv does not seem to freeze up. i still am leaving my tv on rgb or vga input when I shut it off that way when I turn it on it will already have signal running to it from my computer. I don't know if anyone else is having any luck with this tv, but this has seem to help with me a little bit. so basically all I run through the tv is my pc, hdmi, and component input devices....again it has seem less likely to freeze now that i have unplugged my composite inputs and remembering to leave it on rgb or vga when i shut it off....I could be just blowing tons of smoke but it seems to have helped.

How do I reset my LG TV remote?

Ray is right, the only thing you can do is to try new batteries, even if you feel the present ones are OK. The infrared sender in remotes does fail in time.

New remotes are quite cheap on Amazon and eBay.

I have an 42LG50 and the picture is now a smaller box on the screen and the manual is now help in enlarging the picture, any ideas?

You possibly have the screen set to the 4:3 ratio. On the remote control use the aspect ratio button to toggle through the different size screen formats eg 16:9 etc. this will enlarge the picture to fill the screen.
