This TV is the 32'' version of the 47'' LG 47LS5600 TV that we tested in our labs. For more information about the 32LS5600, please refer to our review of the LG 47LS5600.
Everything we said in the 47LS5600 review holds true for this model—the only thing that's different is the screen size!
Sometimes manufacturers fit the different sizes of a given television with panels taken from different sources. In these cases, our comments apply only to the size in question, as it's fitted with the same panel that we originally tested. Contrast, black levels, colour fidelity and ghosting are all subject to change from one panel to another. When different panels are used, we'll be sure to let you know!
However, some manufacturers use the same panel in each size of a given model number. In these cases, you can expect the same results across the whole range. The only factor that could be prone to variation is the brightness, producing slightly different contrast. However, according to our own tests and assurances from manufacturers, when the same panel is used the results of one TV can accurately be applied to the other sizes in the series.

Pros
- In Expert ISF mode the colours and gamma are nearly perfect
- Wider-than-average viewing angles
Cons
- Contrast too low (590:1)
- Glossy screen reflects
- Clouding
- No motion interpolation
- Disappointing sound quality
Conclusion
The LS5600 has a balanced image and wide viewing angles for a TV this price. But the contrast is just too low (590:1) and the clouding is highly noticeable.
