LG 42LD550 Review: 42” LCD HDTV

Up for Review: LG 42LD550 LCD TV. If you are looking for a TV with a judicious mix of updated technology and affordable prices, then this model is just the right one for you. It offers you the option to access NetCast Entertainment and yet reserves the 3D technology access for the higher end models. You get the opportunity to access a host of Internet services like Skype, YouTube, VUDU, NetFlix and many more but at lesser prices than the higher end models. Since the picture quality is above reproach, you may not have the chance to miss the 3D images. Besides, it will just fit into your budget and you will get the most recent LG technology at your fingertips.

LG makes sure that you have the best resolution of 1080p in this TV. For a TV of 42-inch screen size, this is somehow expected. You certainly cannot expect LG to provide 720p resolution in this model. But a display resolution of 720p would certainly have had a great effect on the price. You would have got this set for a still lower price. But the 1080p resolution will come in handy while watching movies on the Blu-ray disc player. You can feel the distinct difference in picture quality especially in the bigger display size of 42-inch.

It adds a new dimension to viewing photos which are precious and form a part of your memories. Being Wi-Fi ready also makes this TV free from the clutter of unnecessary wires and cables.

This TV includes TruMotion 120 Hz refresh rate which is excellent for viewing action scenes. The swords will swish by without any evidence of blurring. Neither will there be trailing in the images while watching the Formula I championships. The frames replace themselves so swiftly that you can hardly spot the difference. But it is while watching these action scenes that you might miss the 3D capability. It would certainly have lifted you off your seats! But you can also enjoy the features which are available in this set and opt to buy it as soon as possible.
