Our scores in the blink of an eye

Black levels:	0.16 cd/m²
ANSI contrast:	927:1
White levels (Max):	340 cd/m²
Gamma (Av):	2.24
DeltaE on PC:	8.9 (*)

(*) this poor score does not reflect images obtained with other sources (tuner TV, DVD, Bluray…)

We take these measuements using the best settings for watching a movie. Whether Cinema, Home Theater or Film mode, the majority of TVs have a preset for this. Wherever possible, we set the white levels at 150 cd/ cd/m², although, obviously, we measure the maximum brightness of white separately.

This television is the 37 inch version of the 42 inch screen that we have tested. the 42LG5500.

It is identical in terms of spec, panel and electronics. Only the brightness can very slightly vary, modifying the contrast. According to our tests, and the manufacturers we have asked, the results of one size can easily be extrapolated to identical models of different sizes.
