LG 26LC55 Review

As one of the best value LCD TV's around, many consumers will be considering the LG 26LC55 as a potential second TV, maybe for the bedroom. However, if you are not too concerned with having a large screen, the 26LC55 is quite capable of fulfilling a primary role as your main TV.

As part of their budget range of LCD TV's, the LG 26LC55 comes with a screen resolution of 1377 x 768 rather than the Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) on the higher spec LY/LF range. This comes as no surprise as there are currently no 26in screens with Full HD resolution. What is a little more disappointing however is the presence of a 6-bit panel (rather than the 8-bit panel on the 32in and 37in models). Contrast ratio has dropped to 800:1 from the 5000:1 of the larger models in the range.

The High Definition performance of the LG 26LC55 is surprisingly good, with images that are commendably sharp and well detailed. Motion handling does suffer with faster movie or sporting action, with some visible blurring, but this does not detract from the viewing experience to any great extent.
