This results in up to 5 times the picture clarity and detail in comparison to standard definition. 1080p television is the only way to fully experience the true potential of high definition gaming and Blu-ray, taking you even closer to the action.

AV Mode
LG TVs have three special modes (Cinema, Sport and Game modes) for enhanced picture and audio quality. These are easily accessible using the AV MODE hot key on the remote control. Cinema Mode - Watch movies with vivid colour, smoother motion and cinematic sound effect. Sport Mode – Takes you closer to the action by emphasising the main colours and reducing motion blur. Game Mode – Optimises the TV for computer and / or games console for a more dynamic gaming experience.
Freeview/Digital
With LG, you’ll be ready for the digital switchover. By 2012, all areas of the UK will receive TV in digital as opposed to analogue. Freeview is a subscription free service which brings up to 48 digital TV channels including ITV2, E4, BBC3, and Film4, plus 24 digital radio stations, no contract and no satellite dish.
To check if you can receive Freeview in your area, text your postcode followed by your house number or name to 83331* or visit www.freeview.co.uk
The front bezel works as a speaker, replacing the normal speaker grill. With the Invisible Speaker System, the speakers are embedded in strategic spots underneath and around the front bezel. They enhance the audio by increasing the ‘sweet spot’ to give a wider and richer sound field. This speaker system provides a clean and fashionable design compared with traditional side or bottom speaker designs.
Energy Saving Recommended
LG TVs help you save money and the environment. An Energy Saving Recommended Integrated Digital Television (IDTV) can save around £7 a year and 20 kilograms of CO2 each year compared to a similar TV and set top box; they are amongst the most efficient in their class. There are over 16 million terrestrial digital TV receivers in the UK, and if these were upgraded to IDTVs it would save around £112 million in energy bills.
With energy-saving features such as ‘Video Mute’, mechanical power-off switch and ‘Intelligent Sensor’, LG has one of the largest ranges of TVs registered to the Energy Saving Trust’s Energy Saving Recommended scheme. To gain entry to the Energy Saving Recommended scheme products have to meet strict criteria to ensure that they are amongst the most efficient in the market place.

Fantastic product, will not disappoint!
I was (as i am sure you are) suspicious of how good a hd tv could be for such a price. Well after much thought i hit buy button and didn't look back! Item came promptly and with an easy setup on scanning for freeview channels, was ready to go in minimal effort and time. I've played several bluray movies through it and the picture is great though as clear as the sound was the built in speakers have little bass but a seperate sound system would solve that. All in all worth the price.
OK - I can't talk about the digital TV features, since I'm just using it for gaming. What I can say, though, is that if you're looking for a high-contrast, high-resolution panel which is the perfect size for computer games, you need look no further.
There's two major advantages this TV has; firstly, its 50,000:1 contrast ratio, which means that white areas on the screen are fifty thousand times brighter than black areas. Cheaper 32" sets tend to be much lower, around 18,000:1 or even below 1000:1 for the supermarket resales. The higher ratio on this set gives the picture a lot more depth.
Its second advantage is its 1920x1080 resolution. Many TV sets are marketed as 'HD Ready' or 'Full HD' - what you need to look for is the actual resolution, and this set has pixels in spades. It also has LG's 'XD Engine' chipset to clean up and improve picture quality, but if you're using this to play games on you want to turn it off and get your console to scale the image instead - the Xbox 360 has the ANA chip for exactly this purpose, and it's a lot faster and less laggy. Game Mode is there for exactly this purpose.
Other features? Well, it has a nice Picture Wizard setting tuning menu, which helps you to set the picture up just how you like it; the base has a pixot in the middle to let you turn the screen up to about 20 in either direction, which is helpful. It also has an on/off switch as well as a standby button for the energy-conscious among us, and an energy-saving mode too. The speakers are great but a tiny bit lacking in the lower-end - add a 2.1 speaker system for £40 if you're gaming or watching films - but then again, this is a lot better than my subwoofer at keeping the neighbours happy!
I paid £370 for this TV in August 2009; I've given it a thorough going-over, and I can say that it's definately a bargain. Quality-wise, it outperforms everything else under £450, and it's easy to use to boot. Buy it!
