Viewing Angle (2.86) The LG 32LH20's viewing angle is poor, very poor. We saw the contrast ratio of the screen fall below 50% at an angle of only 14 degrees from center, for a total viewing angle of 28 degrees. This means that if you're not sitting directly in front of the screen you won't be getting a very good viewing experience. This means the LG 32LH20 is not a good choice for a large room where people will be viewing the television from a variety of different angles. Below you see a comparison of the LG 32LH20 with some other HDTVs. You can see that the 32LH20 is the worst performer amongst the lot, and none of these other televisions have what we would call impressive viewing angles as it is.
Reflectance (4.0) The LG 32LH20's display is very reflective. We were able to make out the entire dot pattern of our test light when it was shone on the screen. We did not see a lot of diffusion and this means lights that aren't placed properly will be very distracting when viewing content on the television.
Video Processing (3.5) As with all televisions the LG 32LH20 offers several different video processing features that are meant to improve picture quality in certain situations. In this section we look at each of those while watching low quality broadcast television and try to ascertain whether there is any visible impact.
