32LG70 has the same LG trademark of smart, beautiful and bezel look. Although the picture performance is not as good as the higher models of the Samsung’s and Sony’s, LG is a little more budget conscious. Also dimension wise, it’s a bit clumsy as compared to other high-end HDTV brands. But when it comes to sales, the LG offers good discounts than the other mainstream competitors, which gives greater incentives to consumers.
YouReviewElectronics.com gives the LG 32LG70 8/10 stars!
