The LG 32LH5000 TV Reviewed

By Beth Walton

The LG 32LH5000 is another of LG's low-priced televisions which are to be had in the United Kingdom. This tv is a thirty-two inch tv which has a 100 Hz processor along with 1080 p resolution. The picture tuning is very flexible and there is enough support for extensive multimedia.

Although inexpensive the LG 32LH5000 still offers style with subtle curves, a gleaming finish and a minimalistic aesthetic look. The set offers a black bezel with a transparent lip that extends past the bezel and looks great.

Several connections are available to ensure the LG 32LH5000 TV can be connected for your application. There are four HDMI ports, a USB port, and an RS-232 port. Each of these ports allows the set to be connected to your favourite media or be integrated with you full AV system.

The 100 Hz processing is twice that of the 50 Hz usually included in TVs in this price range. The additional refresh rate allows the LG 32LH5000 to overcome the customary motion blur problems.

As you look through the menus you will find two picture presets that are labeled ISF, initials of the Imaging Science Foundation. These labels mean that the LG 32LH5000 offers enough flexibility that it can be calibrated by one of ISF's engineers, although you would have to pay for the service.

The LG 32LH5000 does offer extensive adjustments. Among those adjustments are dynamic colour, noise reduction, gamma presets and contrast boosters. The strength of the 100 Hz processor can also be varied.

LG does remember the technologically challenged persons and installs a method for making the adjustments through the picture wizard on the LG 32LH5000 which is designed to guide the least experienced user through a series of procedures that will cause you to have a great looking picture.

If you must have a television that offers the blackest of black in contrast, the LG 32LH5000, like many other LCD tvs, cannot offer it. The set is about average in its black response levels. The problem like with other LCD sets is worse when the viewing angle is larger than 40 degrees. This can cause some problems in dark scenes.

Still, there are many good points to the LG 32LH5000 TV. The pictures are extremely bright and colours are very rich. Screen movements are very clear.

The LG 32LH5000 weighs less than twelve kilograms without the stand and less than thirteen kilograms with the stand. It may be used on a tabletop or mounted onto a wall.

Even the sound is not bad for the LG 32LH5000. Voices are easily heard and understood. In fact, the Clear Voice processing makes voices have a natural tone. This is a rarity among tvs today that seem to have a tinny sound.

LG rates the lifespan of the LG 32LH5000 at 60,000 hours. That is almost seven years of twenty four hour per day operation and much longer at the average daily viewing.

The LG 32LH5000 is a good tv for the price. The biggest drawback is one that is common to most LCD tvs, and that is the fact that it has difficulty in producing the blackest black tones. Among LCD tvs, the brightness of the picture can more than make up for this deficiency.
