    LG 32LH35FR: 32-inch LCD TV

    Roydon Cerejo, Nov 27, 2009 1114 hrs IST

    Viewing HD content on this 32-incher is a pleasure

    Good feature set, attractive bezel design, DivX thru USB, vibrant colours

    Black levels are a little weak

Performance

HD HQV Benchmark

We ran our HD HQV Benchmark to test the video processor of the TV and how it handles noise, jaggies and other common problems seen in TVs. Here, the LH35FR was able to score 65 points out of 100, which is quite respectable. The noise reduction feature works well and the noise in the picture is considerably reduced. Even in the motion tests, the TV didn't exhibit any trailing issue or ghosting. Another surprising find was in the Film Resolution loss test where we mostly see considerable strobing in the horizontal lines, this time there wasn't any and the entire picture was clean without any flicker.

USB Mode

The USB mode is exactly the same as the rest of the LG TVs and you can access this either via the XStudio button on the remote or it will autostart when you plug in a USB drive. As you know, most LG TVs support NTFS. So, you can easily plug in your portable hard drive as well. All the common DivX formats are supported and so are photos and music.  

TV and BluRay viewing

Regular TV programs look good without any major choppiness like we see in the lower end models. Of course, the picture is not exactly crystal clear but when viewed from a distance, it looks good.

This TV does not feature any fancy 200Hz refresh rate, which is ok since it anyways doesn't really make a big difference and plus it helps keep the cost down. Our Pirates of the Caribbean movie looked good once we set the picture mode to Cinema. Vivid just over saturated the colours and the skin tones were all messed up, so it's advisable not to use this. The audio wasn't anything to write home about and the two 12W speakers produce decent sound.

Power Consumption

The power consumption of the TV is very decent. On idle it consumes around 110W with the Vivid colour setting. When you turn on Eco mode this drops down to 70W, but the screen turn darker. Therefore it's best to use this mode at night.

Three comments. 1. This was available for around 32K during Diwali. I don't think the price is any different now. The LF20 was around 30K 2. The main problem with this model is that it has just one component in. If anyone is considering this TV, keep this in mind. 3. Dynamic contrast ratio is not a good enough measure. True static contrast is a better measure. on this measure, Samsung scores over LG. To check this out, compare in dark scenes.

I got LG 32LH35FR with Philips Home Theater system HTS3181(FREE) at 31,800 Rs. Brought it from Croma, there was some offer for 3 days. I guess this is good enough deal?

i always like to see the reviews finishing off with the little comparison of its predecessor at the same price & better value range, so readers can avoid investing their money on the poor products n look into the recommended product mentioned:) Otherwise good review.
