The high-definition compatible 37 inch LCD television from the house of LG offers an affordable price and average performance. Not only does LG’s new flat panel look rather stylish with its ultra-robust build quality, matt black colour scheme and cool silver strip, it also showcases a large number of features behind its plush screen.

The high-definition compatible 37 inch LCD television from the house of LG offers an affordable price and average performance. Not only does LG’s new flat panel look rather stylish with its ultra-robust build quality, matt black colour scheme and cool silver strip, it also showcases a large number of features behind its plush screen. Among the latest high-definition LCDs this sleek frame that extends to a pair of integrated speakers on each side is absolutely at par with some of the more expensive screens. The set’s audio is more than capable too, being able to deliver richer, deeper bass and sheer power than is common in the world of LCD televisions.

The LG 37LC2D offers the functionality that supports sourcing picture via an RF input which can be looked at as a positive. The set has attractive and well-organised onscreen menus, which offer a pleasing degree of flexibility for the user. For example, there are separate MPEG and XD noise reduction options; while the former reduces the appearance of the digital decoder ‘blocking’ noise that’s particularly noticeable with digital TV broadcasts, the latter tackles a range of other noise types like grain and mosquito noise. Also worth mentioning are options for tweaking the picture’s flesh tones, green tones as well as blue tones.

One of the big negatives is the presence of only one HDMI socket. This would restrict connectivity in a big way since it would only be able to accommodate the HD source and nothing else. Standard picture via the RGB port is not a great idea in this television set. The HD functionality is barely mediocre and fails to entice. The disappointing thing about picture quality is flexibility; numerous experiments with the settings and contrast / tones we never quite sufficient to achieve a picture that was perfect.

    LG's LCD makes a great first impression, but problems become obvious when it's been in use for a while, or when you watch a standard-definition fare. While the asking price is low, the performance problems make it hard to recommend the 37LC2D. Read more

    TV came down in price, and for $1200 I think it is very competitive LCD HDTV. HD content is fun to watch. And SD content comes in well. Progressive Scan DVD also works great with this tv. Read more

    2 years old and every time I turn off the TV it looses its programming. I have to spend 15 minutes for the thing to go through its autoscan. Spoke to LG technical support and they are completely worthless. Im on to the next manufacturer. Read more
