LG 26LH20

LG 26LH20

We can't fault the LG LH20 series for trying. The company's least-expensive lineup of LCDs for 2009 offers more features than its competition, including the only USB port for digital photos and by far the best selection of picture adjustments. All of those tweaks let users dial in superb color, but its color accuracy only goes so far when black levels look gray instead. But as long as you don't expect deep blacks from your low-buck LCD (and why should you?), the LG LH20 series still has a lot to offer for a tempting price. Series note: We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 32-inch LG 32LH20, but this review also applies to the 26-inch LG 26LH20, the 37-inch LG 37LH20, and the 42-inch LG 42LH20. All four sets share identical specifications and should exhibit very similar picture quality. The 19- and 22-inch members of the series have lower contrast ratio specs, in addition to other differences, so this review does not apply to those models. Design Editors' note: Many of the Design and Features elements are identical between the LG LH20 series and the LG LH30 series we reviewed earlier, so readers of the earlier review may experience some deja vu when reading the same sections of this review.
