HD RESOLUTION
High definition television is the highest performance segment of the DTV system used in the US. It`s a wide screen, high-resolution video image, coupled with multi-channel, compact-disc quality sound.

AV MODE
LG HDTVs include 3 AV Modes, preset to optimize picture and sound settings based on “Cinema", “Sports" or "Game" content. AV Modes can be easily set with a convenient button on the remote control.

CLEAR VOICE TECHNOLOGY
Automatically enhances and amplifies the sound of human voice frequency range to provide high-quality dialogue when background noise swells.

INVISIBLE SPEAKER SYSTEM
LG`s 2008 line of TVs include a unique invisible speaker system, tuned by renowned audio expert, Mr. Mark Levinson. Speakers are embedded in strategic spots behind the front cabinet and use minute vibrations to turn the entire front bezel into the speaker system. The result is a clean, polished look, and enhanced audio by increasing the "sweet spot", giving a wider and richer sound field.

LG SIMPLINK
Allows for convenient control of other LG SimpLink products using the existing HDMI connection.

Nice little HDTV

"This LG was the best unit I could find in this size to fit in a cabinet in my home office. The Sony was a close 2nd and a bit cheaper, but nobody has them in stock. I like the swivel stand of the LG that the Sony lacks. The piano gloss finish is a bit annoying: now my screen doesn't have a glare like my old CRT, the frame around the screen does. It does look sharp, however, and I'll get used to it. As with many ..." Read Full Review »

"Was tired of reviewing and viewing LCD tv's, so went out and purchased this on a 'just gonna do it' spree. Had to get my feet wet on an LCD HD tv sometime and the original brand I wanted wasn't in stock. This was also on sale at a great price and wouldn't be my first LG product.

"This is a great tv! I got it right after they came out and couldn't be happier. I was comparing it to the new Samsung 26" and this tv had slightly better brightness and sound.

THIS TV ONLY HAS A 5000:1 CONTRAST RATION, NOT 12000:1 AS THE SPECS ON BESTBUY.COM SAY. See LG's website for accurate specs

"Good side to side viewing angle; up and down viewing angle somewhat narrow. Don't care for glossy black surround; personally prefer matt (non-reflective) frame. Base assembles and works well, but can be unstable unless you screw down the base with provided screw. Be sure to do your own color balance …"  Read Full Review »
