The LG LB5900 LED TV is an affordable barebones TV. Unfortunately, the picture quality isn't as good that of other TVs, especially in a dark room. You will be better off with another TV.
Our Verdict
0.0
Mixed Usage
Though it is affordable, the LG LB5900 LED TV is not a great value for the price. The picture quality, especially in a dark room, is not as good as other TVs in its price range. The Vizio E Series is a better alternative for a barebones TV.
Pros
Great viewing angle. The colors are great, even when viewed from the side.
Cons
It has a fair amount of motion blur, however, making it average for video games.
Very low contrast ratio. In a dark environment, the blacks are gray.
Wide stand. You need a very wide table to support it.
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.
