A 200Hz TV from LG, LG 42LH5000 is a good buy when compared to its competitors in the market. A good bargain as compared to its 40 inch Sony rival, LG 42LH5000 offers the latest technology at an affordable price. Equipped with a glossy, shiny finish, it has curves and eye-catching trim in all the right places. Looks-wise, the LCD TV from LG includes an infusion of indigo blue down the TV’s sides that adds distinction without becoming distracting. Featuring a USB 2.0 slot capable of playing JPEG, MP3 and even DivX HD video files, the LCD TV has a D-Sub port so that you can easily use the screen as a computer monitor. Also, it sets a suitably cutting edge tone with its connectivity, thanks to its provision of four HDMIs. Equipped with a 200Hz engine, the LCD TV offers improved motion clarity and fluidity by calculating an extra three frames of image data for every ‘real’ frame coming in from a 50Hz source.

The LCD TV boasts of LG’s Twin XD Engine processing, which has been designed to improve a variety of different picture elements such as colour, contrast and detailing. Some other cool features of the LG 42LH5000 include the Full HD native resolution and a good looking contrast ratio of 80,000:1. Its 24p Real Cinema mode offers Blu-ray playback, which movie fans will appreciate while technophobes will adore the 42LH5000’s excellent operating system. A balanced combination of pretty graphics, clear text and mostly foolproof menu organisation, it is a user-friendly LCD TV and extremely easy to use.
