LG 37LG3000 Review

The 37LG3000 reflects the fact that LG have spend some considerable time getting the 'look' of their panels just right. The influence of an external design studio is obvious in a screen that is not trying to hard to please but comes across as an exceptionally stylish piece of kit.

For an entry level screen, the 37LG3000 boasts a surprising number of adjustment options through its 'Expert Mode' which will keep those of you with much more than just a passing interest in tweaking the screen happy. More representative of its budget status the panel comes with a 1366 x 768 resolution, although there are a useful 3 HDMI (v1.3) inputs along with a 15,000:1 contrast ratio.

With a black level ability that matches some of the best LCD TV's and puts a few plasmas to shame, LG's 37LG3000 begins to set new standards for LCD performance at this price. Ultimately it can't hope to compete with the best plasma screens, which are able to produce precise shadow detail in even the darkest of films, but what it does achieve is a rich deep black picture that is free from greyness.
