LG 37LC55 Review
LG 37LC55

Even though it is part of LG's base range of new LCD TV's the 37LC55 gets the distinctive slim line styling of its older brothers. LG farms out the design of their new range to a design studio in Milan and it shows. With sleek crisp line and an ultra thin profile, the 37LC55 finds itself at the forefront of flat panel design.

LG's 37LC55 boasts a screen resolution of 1377 x 768 which separates it from the Full HD LY/LF range, and along with the LF series it is equipped with an 8-bit rather than a 10-bit panel and as such loses the 'Wide Colour Gamut' of the top end LY series.

The absence of Full HD resolution on the 1366 x 768 37LC55 does not detract from its performance to any great degree, with the 37in panel not really large enough to show the benefits too their full. High Definition pictures on the LY/LF series are better, but not by much - the 37LC55 is impressively sharp and detailed with HD inputs.

Although the LC series from LG forms the base range of LCD TV's from the Korean Manufacturer, there is a noticeable overall improvement in performance from previous budget LG's. Aimed at the budget conscious consumer, the 37LC55 is not the most accomplished LCD out there, but at under £600 it is certainly one of the best value.
