When have we ever complained about LG’s LCD TVs? Never are they over-priced like Sony’s and never do they lack in anything major. But we have come across some from the Korean electronics giant which we somehow didn’t have the heart to label ‘perfect’. But the TV is today’s spotlight, the LG 37LH3000 37” LCD TV comes really close to be called so. It’s not all that cheap like some of LG’s previous models, but has quite a lot to speak for the high price. The design is of finesse and elegance, though there’s nothing new apart from the usual glossy black finish; but again, we shouldn’t be complaining much, it’s pretty enough. There’s a silvery tinge at the bottom edge, giving the TV a whole new appeal.
The LG 37LH3000 HD-Ready LCD TV has a high contrast ratio of 50,000:1, which is visibly translated on screen. Pictures are a treat for the eyes, every subtlest move and subtlest shade is captured with brilliance. The TV has a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and quotes a brightness level of 500cd/m2. Freeview quality is amazing, there are minimal blurs and audio from the invisible speakers is acceptable, if not all that perfect. (Audio seems to be a major problem area for today’s LCD TVs!) Blu-Ray and DVD movies are faithfully rendered – there’s hardly anything to complain about them at all.
Quick movements of agile screen characters in the screens of this TV are smooth and effortless – so this makes gaming with this telly a sheer pleasure. There are just 3 HDMIs, though – this number is not less, but we can’t help but complain when the rival brands have managed to give 4. The 37LH3000 is recommended by the Energy Saving Trust – which goes to say that it’s proved to be efficient. According to LG, their LCD TVs can save up to 20% of power. The LG 37LH3000 comes really close to be pronounced perfect, but again, we refrain from doing so. (Boy are we mean!)
