LG 42LV550T Pro Reviews

AVForums‘s review Edit

The LG LV550T is a victim of the technology it employs. Had it not been for the pooling and haloing issues, that are a common bi-product of LED edge-lit TVs, the LG would have no doubt been a worthy recipient of a AVForums Recommended award. Unfortunately, such was the distraction the lighting issues caused, we found ourselves restricted to enjoying the 550's beautifully calibrated, detailed images with only the brightest of content in less than optimum viewing conditions; even then they occasionally intruded. Unless manufacturers can find ways of making more affordable LED backlit sets we might just find ourselves saying, come back CCFL, all is forgiven.

If 3D doesn’t interest in you, then this LG 42in set has plenty going for it - especially once you’ve taken its sub-£600 into account. There are enough issues during dark scenes to stop it just short of earning a Recommended badge, but it’s still a compelling option for a relatively casual user.

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

If you're looking for a versatile, multimedia-savvy 42-inch TV that looks great and doesn't cost the earth, the LG 42LV550T has a lot going for it. Its PLEX system works great with PCs and Macs alike, it plays back an unusually wide variety of multimedia file types and for most of the time it also produces extremely enjoyable pictures. If you're a fan of watching films with the lights off, though, you might find yourself troubled by a few black level shortcomings.

For the money, the LG puts up a decent showing, but it’s going to have its work cut out to beat it rivals.
