For real-cinema image production, this 52LG70 is a clear winner as movies run on this LCD TV at their original 24 frames per second speed. Its 120 Hz takes care of the entire motion blur. Even for motion pictures that are converted into digital format such as DVD, LG 52LG70 has 3:2 pull down feature that reduces artifacts during the transfer.
With the LG 52LG70, you can change to cinema, sports or game through the AV mode and the color, brightness, sound will automatically be adjusted. The LG SimpLink™ Connectivity also allows convenient connection provision using the existing HDMI connection.
The only complaint found for the LG 52LG70 is having only a single rear connector location for connectivity, a very minor issue. Other than that, the LG 52LG70 may be a very attractive option compared to some higher end HDTV’s at higher prices.
YouReviewElectronics.com gives LG 52LG70 9/10 stars!
