Reviews of the LG 37LH30

CNET Review
The Good: Accurate color; extensive picture controls including unique Picture Wizard; adequate connectivity with three HDMI and one PC input; energy-efficient.

The Bottom Line: While its black levels and uniformity mark the LG LH30 series as an entry-level display, its extensive picture controls allow the color accuracy of a flagship model.
