    CNET Review

    July 10, 2009

    The Good: Excellent black-level performance and shadow detail; accurate color thanks to extensive picture adjustments; matte screen handles bright lighting well; plenty of connectivity with four HDMI and one PC input.

    The Bad: Relatively expensive; poor off-angle performance; some blooming; does not separate antiblur and dejudder processing; benefits of 240Hz difficult to discern; no interactive features; no S-Video inputs.

    The Bottom Line: Deep black levels and accurate color help propel the LED-backlit LG LH90 series into the front row of the LCD picture quality class.

    Review Summary: If you've just downed a great porterhouse steak, why have ultra-expensive Kobe beef for dessert? Because you can. That's how we felt when LG's new 55-inch LH90 LED...

    Review Summary: The LG 55LH90 is television with some intriguing elements. Its 240Hz refresh rate is something that will pique the interest of action-film lovers and sports aficionados. Based on our limited access watching footage on the TV, its motion appeared ...
