Low, entry-level price
Outstanding color performance
1366 × 768 native resolution is awkward and causes performance problems
Black levels are not very deep
Introduction
The LG 32LK330 ($399 MSRP) is LG’s entry-level LCD television. We’re pleased to see that the color performance is once again outstanding. Unfortunately, the overall performance was marred by resolution scaling issues and motion blurriness. It’s not a perfect TV, but it is among the better budget models we’ve seen.
