The LG 32LD350 - Descent value set
There are so many televisions on the market these days that confusing a single digit on a model number with a wrong one could, likely, stop you from getting so-many more 'Hertz', less Freeview or the wrong sockets. Its a confusing business, and with evolving all the time, products from late last year are already discontinued. Our own situation was a need to upgrade from an old Philips 26" TV to a 32" model, though choosing was tough.
Based on countless reviews, we eventually settled for the LG 32LD350 which seemed to fit the bill for for being neither the worst nor the best in any particular area. We haven't been disappointed as its a great product! In many respects, it highlights the fact that 'Big Brands' don't always equal quality, as while this LG doesn't have aesthetic quality that you may find in a Sony/Panasonic product, it delivers whats most important - value.
Colour tones are pretty realistic and not overly saturated at all, like you get the impression with the latest LED tv's. The backlight can be manually adjusted to save power too, which is great given the difference in power consumption between a 32" panel and a 26" one (particularly the heat emission!). Only drawback visually is the poor viewing angle which, although has a stunning contrast ration when you sit dead-centre, can easily shift to more washed out hues if you're sitting from an angle. Therefore, the product is best set-up where the viewers will have a more in-line seating plan.
1080p pictures look stunning and its been difficult swinging back and forth between Blu-Ray films and standard definition broadcasting. 720p content, which is usually found in Playstation 3 video games, can have quite a bit of ghosting/motion blur when images move fast, but 1080p games don't suffer this problem. Xbox 360 owners are likely more lucky, as the majority of its video games are in 1080p. Come on Sony, catch up!
The most impressive attribute however is the sound quality, which is incredibly thick and powerful - even more surprising by the 'invisible speakers'. For the first time, I haven't needed to faff around with the EQ's to get an adequate reproduction as everything already sounds amazing. This is a great advantage of such a television set; whilst most super thin sets (like the Samsungs) use their slim design as a USP, this compromises on punchy sound quality, and so the user is encouraged to splash out on a home theatre system. Not such the case with this TV.
Everything else is fairly straightforward, and helped greatly by the simply remote control. Nice big clicky buttons, and none of them so useless that you'd only use them about once every 6 months. The product manual is on disc, and the set also comes with a cleaning cloth (as the screen is semi-glossy) and various other bits and bobs.
In short, the tight viewing angle is something of a let down, but when it comes down to value there are surely few better on the market. It perhaps makes more sense too that the individual compromises and spends an average amount of money so that, come a few years time, the next set you'll buy is at least the same price with more features. With companies like Samsung and Sony, it is all too often pure talk and no end product for a very large sum.
