LG 37LP1D Review

LG 37LP1DRobert Heron, of Tech TV and TWIT fame and one of my favourite writers at PC Mag, has a review of the LG 37LP1D, an LCD that can be used as a television or a monitor.

All HDTVs should provide impressive picture quality, useful features, and be aesthetically pleasing. The LG 37LP1D 37-inch LCD HDTV ($5,499.95 list) comes close to the ideal with an attractive facade and good image quality overall, but some design choices hold it back.

Out of the box, the 37LP1D’s glossy black bezel and brushed metal accents draw longing stares from others. Offering a 37-inch LCD with a native resolution of 1,366-by-768, the 37LP1D would be well suited for the bedroom or other space-challenged viewing environments. Matching side-mounted 10-watt speakers and a swivel base complete the 37LP1D’s physical characteristics.

The 37LP1D’s matching remote control was well balanced and easy to use with one hand. While comfortable and sleek, the remote’s bright white backlight illuminated only five of the dozens of buttons adorning its face. The remote’s range and angle performance were good, and navigating on-screen menus and options was speedy and precise. We were mildly disappointed by the remote’s lack of discrete input selection.
