Position 1/7 in test 		"excellent" (5 out of 5 stars)
With a superior design to many rivals, the LG 42LH5000 offers super sharp, fantastically insightful and very naturally coloured images, motion processing is very good. Contrast is generally impressive with black levels that, although not as deep as rivals, are sufficiently acceptable at this price.

Single test 		"excellent" (5 out of 5 stars)
A solid set of specs, including 200Hz images leave LG's 42LH5000 only wanting for slightly deeper blacks. For the price this is a desirable set, giving confident performance even across the audio. One to have a look at for sure.

Single test 		8 out of 10 points Value for money: 8 out of 10 points
For a first attempt at 200Hz, LG has done commendably well in the 42LH5000 42" LCD TV. Black levels and viewing angle need improvement, and for the price this is remarkably good value.
