What Hi-Fi? Sound & Vision have given the LG 42LH5000 LCD TV 5 stars, citing it as “Elegant and good value – a quality TV at a sensible price.”

The LH5000 is extensively equipped. You won’t find wi-fi or widgets, but there are four HDMIs and a media-friendly USB input.

Setup is reassuringly simple
LG has put a lot of effort into making this outwardly complex set easy to use. Onscreen menus are clean and intuitive, and a built-in Picture Wizard guides you through the basics of picture optimization.
