LG 32LV550T Pro Reviews

Looks like this is the irritatingly successful sibling to the under-achieving 42in model, then. So long as you’re not after 3D, this is a 32in TV with which we can find few faults.

Even had it carried a price tag of £650 to £700 we’d have found much to admire about the 32LV550T. So given that we’ve found it selling for under £500, it’s fair to say that it’s another one of those classic budget heroes that have served LG so well over the past couple of years.

The 32LV550T initially seems to be a rather 'quiet' TV by LG's current standards; a mid-range model with no headline-grabbing 3D credentials that just seems out to give people decent looks and good screen specs for relatively little money. The deeper you delve into it, though, the more goodies you start to uncover - most notably its full incarnation of LG's Smart TV system, extensive DLNA PC network compatibility (including the Plex interface), USB multimedia playback, optional Wi-Fi, and an extensive suite of picture calibration aids for such an affordable telly. With some judicious calibration the 32LV550T is an engaging and natural picture performer. It's a shame the audio performance isn't as good, but it's certainly one hell of a telly for the price.
