Viewing Angle (3.84) The LG 37LH30 didn't have the grestest viewing angle. If you're 29º off-center, your contrast ratio will drop by half. This means the TV has a total viewing angle of 58º, which is about 20º more shallow than our current average.
The reason viewing angle is important is because our eyes are very sensitive to contrast. When contrast ratio suffers, so does picture quality.
Reflectance (6.5) External light sources often wreak havoc on your TV screen. Screens prone to reflection can be unwatchable in certain setups. The 37LH30 did all right on this test, but still had some issues. While it diffused the light well, the resulting glow washed out a large chunk of the screen. If the light is on an angle, however, the reflection won't be too distracting.
Video Processing (2.50) The 37LH55 had a few video processing features, some of which caused a visible effect, some of which didn't do anything noteworthy. We're also at a bit of a loss about what they were supposed to do, since the screen doesn't have any explanatory pop-ups and the manual is mum on the subject.
