LG 37LH30 Summary
• The Sharp is the larger, but also more expensive display
• The Sharp has deeper blacks, but the LG has brighter whites
• Both displays produced poor motion
Value Comparison Summary
the LG is the cheaper HDTV, but it is also the smaller one; at 37 inches. The Sharp is a 40-inch model, so it provides more screen real estate. However, in other respects, both HDTVs are similar; they are both LCD screens that run at the full 1080p resolution.

Blacks & Whites
the Sharp has the advantages in our tests that look at blacks, but the LG was the brighter screen. But the distance between the blacks and whites on both displays wasn't that different; the Sharp had a slightly wider contrast ratio, but not by that much.

Color Accuracy
The Sharp performed slightly better in our tests that look at color accuracy; it had slightly more consistent whites and slightly smoother RGB response curves. But there was not that much difference between the two; neither produced results that indicated any major problems.

Motion
Neither display produced particularly good motion; both had jerky, glitch motion where the fine details of the image got lost when things moved on the screen. This is no surprise as both screens lack the faster motion processing of their more expensive cousins.

| Motion Smoothness | 4.50 | 3.25 |
| Motion Artifacting | 4.50 | 3.13 |
Viewing Effects
Both displays also had poor viewing angles, with the contrast between black and white quickly falling off as you move away from right in front of the display. This is the same on most cheap LCDs, though, so it is no big surprise. But it does mean that neither display would be a good pick for an office display.
| Viewing Angle Comparison | |
 |
|
| Sharp LC-40E67UN Score: 2.21 | LG 37LH30 Score: 3.84 |
Connectivity
Both displays have a decent set of inputs that would allow for connecting a variety of high def devices, such as cable boxes, game consoles, etc without having to swap cables over. Both also include some ports on the side of the case so you can easily connect and disconnect devices such as camcorders or digital cameras.

Samsung UN32D5500 LED LCD HDTV Review
The D5500 has a rather high MSRP of $699, considering it’s only a 32-inch TV. There are some “premiums upgrades,” a term we use with some dubiousness, knowing that these features can be far less valuable than they appear. Nevertheless, at its core this is a good television. If you can find it a significantly reduced price it would make a great addition to a home theater. Read More...
