My CTV from LG was 8 years old. I never felt the need to replace it as the color and picture quality were fine. No TV mechanic had touched it since purchase.( it had a auto degauss function).I ventured into a well known showroom keeping the new year offers in mind. Was looking at sony Bravia 32’EX400 & samsung32C450LCA.
Ultimately I settled for LG LD 460 32” LCD coz it was cost effective and feature packed. For instance, LG LCDs use the latest IPS(In plane switching) LCD panels. The user advantage is there is no loss in picture clarity in spite of viewing from narrow angles. IPS technology of LG Display enables clear images at any angle within 179 degrees.
It’s a Full HD LCD c a Resolution of 1920x1080 with a Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 100, 000:1
The LD460 is Divx compatible with the latest 1080p DivX HD and MKV(used for ripping Blu-ray movie) files.
It’s a pleasure to view downloaded DivX, mp4 &avi. video content on the large LCD screen with utmost clarity thru the USB port, this is not so with many other LCD TVs.In addition it has one HDMi port on the side and one in the rear(SonyEX400 provides 4HDMi ports)
This HDTV LCD is a great choice to watch videos rather than the small monitor of your PC with booming sound with high clarity.
Unlike other HDTVs of this dimension which offer 10w+10w speakers Audio Output LG LD460 offers15W+15W.The sound quality is good and fills the drawing room.
There are also energy saving options, The LCd brightness can be set at a comfortable level to one’s choice. There are also 5 options for sound quality.
It’s a pleasure to watch your favorite videos &channels on a full HDTV like the LG LD 32 LCD
I would strongly recommend this model to those planning to change their CRT CTVs.
It is value for money at Rs33500/-
