LG Electronics 42LE5500 42-Inch LCD TV

If you're looking for a very thin 40- to 42-inch HDTV that will fit seamlessly into a minimalist design, the 42-inch LG 42LE5500 might capture your fancy. This LED-backlit LCD HDTV ($1400 as of October 8, 2010) is just 1.2 inches thick. The 1080p, 120Hz 42LE5500 produces indifferent but not awful picture quality, and the TV comes with a fantastically light and comfortable remote. The LG 42LE5500 sports a shiny black bezel with a very faint hint of purple on the outer edges. It sits on a plain, black rectangular stand (the hint of purple recurs on the neck of the stand). When you turn the set on, a number of lights--for channels, volume, Enter, menu, input, power controls, and the LG logo--appear along the bottom part of the bezel. These remain lit briefly and then disappear. The lights on the bottom (except for the logo) indicate the locations of corresponding touch buttons. To get them to reappear after they vanish, simply tap beneath the words (they're labeled in a very tiny font). The lights are soft and not at all distracting; and when you aren't using the touch buttons, only the logo and power button remain lit. Another option lets you turn off this lighting completely (the controls will reappear if you tap the unlit power button).

LG 42LE5500

In the last few years the most compelling LCD challengers to the picture-quality reign of plasma were equipped with multizone LED backlights that could dim or brighten in different areas of the screen independently. Broadly known as "local dimming" technology, in the best cases it delivered superb black level performance and manageable tradeoffs in the form of stray illumination or "blooming." In worse cases, such as the LG LE5500 series, that stray illumination is not managed well. Unfortunately, we suspect that many buyers lured by the LG's claims of dimming won't understand the differences--among them the fact that this TV uses LED that illuminate the screen from the edge, rather than from behind. The LE5500 does offer plenty of perks, including accurate color, decent bright-room performance, a stylishly thin frame and numerous Internet features, but seekers of LED-based LCDs who place a premium on image quality should look elsewhere. Series information: We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 47-inch LG 47LE5500, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series. All sizes have identical specs and according to the manufacturer should provide very similar picture quality.
