We take these readings using the best settings for watching a movie. Cinema mode is generally the one we use. Wherever possible, we set the white levels at 200 cd/m².

See also: How do we test TVs?
It’s an exact copy apart from one detail: TruMotion is here limited to 100 Hz rather than 200 Hz. Expect a little more ghosting on fast-moving objects then.
For the rest, its spec is identical on all points to the model tested and we can therefore expect to find the same results on this model. Sometimes however, manufacturers do equip different sized versions differently with different panels. If this is the case, the results published here will not apply to the different panels. Contrast, black levels, colours and ghosting would then all be subject to notable differences on different panels.
And for those who use the same panel for all sizes, they give strictly identical results, except for brightness which can vary very slightly from one size to another, which can affect contrast. We have been able to check this in testing and our results have been confirmed by those manufacturers we have consulted on the subject.

Pluses
-
TruMotion 200 Hz reduces jumps and ghosting without harming the image
-
Wide viewing angles for an LCD
-
Mulitmedia player one of the best… for a TV (external players are better)
-
Excellent colours
-
Nice HD image
Minuses
-
Contrast a bit low for watching films in the dark
Not as good but a lot cheaper than the best current TVs, the LH5010 definitely has its place in the jungle of mid-range TVs. TruMotion 200 Hz and its multimedia player give it a real advantage over the competition.
