The LG 37LG30 gives you total power over your entertainment settings. Apart from the customary picture modes, the new 37LG30 has two expert modes to allow better control over full range of picture setting. You can reduce the noise distortion; adjust the color temperature to bring rich colors and vibrant hues onto your images.

The only drawback of this LCD TV could be its low monitor resolution power. With only 1366 X 768 resolution and absence of latest 1080p native resolution, the 37LG30 is not good enough to be used as a monitor. Also the lengthy remote could have been avoided.

But overall, the LG 37LG30 is a great option for a decent quality, budget brand LCD HDTV.
