Blacks & Whites
Tour & Design Summary
• Basic design.
• 3 HDMI ports: one on the side and two on the back.
• Doesn't come with any awesome extras.
Front
The LG 37LH30 is a basic-looking television. It has a glossy black bezel with an embellishment along the bottom. Towards the bottom right corner of the screen is the sensor and power LED.

Stand/Mount
The stand features a convex front and a concave back. It looks a bit like a police shield or the Star Fleet insignia. The stand allows the TV to swivel.
 |
| The stand is relatively thin, but the TV never shook much. |
Controls
The on-set controls are located at the bottom of the right side of the screen.

Remote Control
The LG 37LH30's remote is a standard remote for an entry-level TV. It has an intuitive button layout and sports large fonts.
 |
| The remote is also well-balanced, which should help prevent dropping. |
In The Box (6.50)
The 37LH30 doesn't come with much inside its box. You'll fine the manual, the remote, and a couple of batteries.
The TV is pretty easy to assemble. All you have to do is place the TV on its stand and screw it into place. A single person should be able to manage the job.
Aesthetics (5.00)
We thought the 37LH30 was decently attractive, but very plain looking. There really isn't a lot about the TV to grab your aesthetic sensibilities and wring out approval. It's a glossy black TV with a slighly odd shape to its stand. The power indicator pulses when it turns on. Otherwise, the 37LH30 is any old TV set.
