The LG LB5800 LED TV is far from perfect. It has low contrast and reflects a significant amount of light. On the upside, it has a good viewing angle for an LED and a low amount of motion blur.

Our Verdict

0.0
Mixed Usage 

The LG LB5800 LED TV isn't a bad TV, but you will gain by spending a little bit more to get the Samsung H6350. When the lights are turned off, the LG has gray blacks and when the lights are turned on, it has reflection issues.

Pros
  • Great viewing angle. The colors stay consistent when you view it from the side.
  • Low input lag and a low amount of motion blur. This is a great gaming TV.
Cons
  • You need a wide table to accommodate the stand.
  • Poor contrast. The blacks are gray.
  • Significant amount light reflected. The screen also gets a yellow tint when the room is bright.

    How We Test TVs
    How We Test TVs

    We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.
