Trusted Reviews have published a review of the LG LH5000 LCD TV, they give it a very respectable 8/10 and deem it to be, among other things, “a TV that’s nothing if not good value” – at £999 for a 42inch 1080p HD-ready TV with 200Hz, they’ve got a point!:

As usual with an LG television, the 42LH5000 scores another hit with the sheer dynamism of its pictures. They burst off the screen through a startling combination of strong, vibrant colours and impressive backlight strength, enabling them to dominate your vision and, more importantly, deliver a sense of impressive solidity and depth with both standard and high definition pictures alike.

I was also impressed by how natural the 42LH5000’s colours look, particularly with high definition using the Cinema preset. Colour blends look exceptional too, thanks to both the screen’s native Full HD resolution and, I’m inclined to think, improvements in LG’s latest XD Engine video processing system.

They’re also fans of the sets design – as are we at the blog, it’s slick to say the least!:

It certainly looks like it costs more than a grand. It enjoys just about the glossiest, shiniest finish you’ll ever see (in a good rather than tacky way!), and has curves and eye-catching trim in all the right places. This trim even includes an infusion of indigo blue down the TV’s sides that adds distinction without becoming distracting.

If TV’s had ears that infusion of blue could turn to a touch of a blush, so it’s just as well they don’t. Also, it’d be rather weird and slightly creepy. No ears on TVs please, no one put that suggestion into LGenius – I’ll have nightmares!
