Our Readings from the 42'' version
| Black levels: | 0.25 cd/m² |
| ANSI contrast: | 830:1 |
| Average gamma: | 2.22 |
| DeltaE on PC: | 5 |
| Relative energy consumption : | 288 W/m² |
| Homogeneity of whites: | 3.3/5 |
| Clouding: | 3.5/5 |
| Light leak onto dark greys at 45°: | 0.04 cd/m² |
| DeltaE at 45°: | 5.1 |
| Multimedia player: | 3.4/5 |
We take these measuements 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?
This model is the 32'' version of the 42'' TV that we tested in our labs, the LG 42LH7020.
Everything else is the same and this TV has an almost identical specification to the model we tested. However, we are not sure how this 32'' model will perform, as LG's stated contrast ratio for this product is 80 000:1, instead of 100 000:1 on the other sizes.
Pluses
-
One of the best multimedia players on a TV (but there's still work to be done)
-
Wide viewing angles
-
Little ghosting
-
Very thin
Minuses
-
Mediocre contrast and black levels are too pale
-
Average audio quality
-
No ports on the side; they're all on the back
The LH7020 combines reasonable image quality with one of the best multimedia players that we've ever seen on a TV. It's a shame that a few small mistakes hold it back, like the ports that are stuck at the back rather than on the side.
