LG LS4600 series fails to deliver

This LED TV looks nice itself, but its picture quality is another story.

The ; is an attractive-looking midrange TV with a slim bezel and a rotating stand. Its picture delivers good shadow detail and colors are relatively accurate. The menu system is easy to navigate.

The TV has some of the worst black levels and uniformity I've seen this year. Colors are desaturated and skin tones in particular can look a little pale. For a midrange TV there are no features to speak of -- even the network port is inactive.

The LG LS4600 LED TV has looks on its side, but it doesn't perform to the level expected at this price.

LG Infinia LV5500

The relatively inexpensive ; evinced accurate colors and solid video processing. Its Smart TV Internet portal is well-designed with a solid selection of streaming services, and LG includes a Wi-Fi dongle. The secondary motion-sensitive remote provides...

The LG LV5500 series isn't able to dig as deep into the blacks as some competitors and evinced some blooming and loss of shadow detail. Screen uniformity and off-angle viewing were below par. Its external styling is underwhelming. The LW5500's Smart TV...

The LG 47LV5500 is a decent performer at its price level and features a great Smart TV package, but paying a little more for a different model would reap big rewards.

LG 42LV5500

The LG 42LV5500 ($1099 MSRP) is packed with a lot of fun features that may sound good, but can distract from what a TV is supposed to do: deliver a good picture. Fortunately, the color performance cannot be beat. The poor implementation of local...

Phenomenal color accuracy ; Solid motion performance ; Lots of ports for old and new devices

Local dimming was disappointing

The LG 42LV5500 ($1099 MSRP) is a strong television in many regards, but we definitely prodded to find some weak points. First the good news. Color performance doesn’t get much better than this. It will deliver exactly the colors that the movie and TV...

LG 55LE5400 LED LCD HDTV - Intro

The LG 55LE5400 ($2699) seems expensive, but that's an awful lot of screen for the money. The color performance on this 55-inch LED-backlit TV is outstanding, among the best we've seen in some time. Conversely, the black level is terrible, even for an...

The LG 55LE5400 ($2699 MSRP) is a 1080p LED-backlit LCD. Overall, we were impressed with most of the performance numbers. The weak points are clear. LG has consistently shown an inability to get its black level down far enough to compete with Sony and...

LG 47LV5500 Review – 47-inch LED LCD HDTV

This model from LG cannot exactly be called a high-end set nor can it be classified as a basic one. It has Smart TV, 120 Hz refresh rate and the best connectivity features. But at the same time, it lacks the much acclaimed 3D technology and the very...

Connectivity features are quite good too with 4 HDMI. There are 2 component video and 2 composite video inputs along with a VGA input. And if this is not enough, you can stream all the content from the thumb drives or connect your digital camera...
