LG 52LB5DF 52-inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review
LG 52LB5DF 52-inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review from Frank C Yang Highlands Rancher. Sweet upgrade HDTV, Got it for $1,700 shipped vs. $1,900-$2,300 sold elsewhere. Great high definition picture and very good standard definition. The best viewing angle of any LCD screen that I’ve seen. Sound quality is atypical, with good simulated bass. Built-in virtual surround sound eliminates the need for a home theatre system except for audiophiles. Like most LCD, it does not do black color well. Human skin tone looks cartoonish at closeup, a negative for this set. There is no blur motion, even with NASCAR. The on-screen menu is very easy to navigate, so no need to read the manual on the CD. Lots of connectivity options on the back and a few jacks on the side for camcorder (no HiDef.) Auto-sizing is always correct on screen size – unlike some other HDTVs that sometimes get it wrong. There is a green/red status LED so that I know whether the TV is actually on or in standby mode (less than 1W with EnergyStar.) The set is heavy at 110 pounds, but that also helps deter theft I reckon. The shining and narrow black frame is absolutely beautiful. Overall, I highly recommend this 52″ monster.
