LG LE5500 LED LCD TV Review




It also features two 15 watt internal speakers, which did sound a little tinny and hollow but no more than other TVs in its class. Connectivity wise, the unit has four HDMI inputs, USB 2.0 access, two component inputs and a 15 pin D-sub computer input. LG makes the most of this low power consumption by including energy saving features such as the ability to turn off screen when listening to music and an intelligent sensor function that automatically adjusts the brightness and color of the picture as the light in the room changes. Light emitting diodes also use less power than fluorescent bulbs, which is great news for your electricity bill.

Unsurprisingly then, the black levels were very good and potentially better than some plasmas on the market right now. Being LED lit, the panel features a local dimming option, where bulbs can be dimmed or brightened in different areas independently to improve on black levels. The heavy solid stand rotates up to 20 degrees from the centre and supports the TV firmly. The unit is very sleek at only 1.2 inches in depth and weighs in at 63 pounds (just less than 30 kilogram's) without the stand.

In terms of appearance, the LE5500 is built in a rose wood colour, which personally I'm a fan of as they look great in traditional homes, but may not suit a modern or contemporary room.
