CNET Review
The Good: Accurate color; extensive picture controls including unique Picture Wizard; solid connectivity with four HDMI and one PC input; energy efficient.
The Bad: Reproduces relatively light black levels; does not separate antiblur and antijudder processing; benefits of 240Hz difficult to discern; below-average off-angle viewing; no S-Video input.
The Bottom Line: Although its overall picture quality falls short of the best 240Hz LCDs, the LG LH55 series offers plenty of picture tweaks and accurate color.
