LG LF5800
TV REVIEW
The LG LF5800 is not a good TV. It has a good viewing angle, but nearly every other aspect of the picture quality is below average. It has poor blacks in a dark room and reflects too much light in a bright room.

Contrast
What it is:
Brightness difference between white and black. This is the main component of picture quality.
When it matters:
Always, but especially when watching dark scenes.
Score components:
- 100% Native Contrast
Score distribution:
Native Contrast
:
929 : 1
What it is:
Ratio of the white brightness divided by the blacks measured on our checkerboard test pattern with a white target of 100 cd/m².
When it matters:
Dark scenes in a dark room.
Good value:
> 3,000
Noticeable difference:
500
Score distribution:
As with a lot of LG TVs, the contrast ratio is sub-par. When you have the lights off, the black color appears gray.
0
Local Dimming
What it is:
The lights behind the LCD layer adapt to the picture displayed, improving the contrast ratio.
When it matters:
Dark scenes viewed in a dark room.
Score components:
Subjectively assigned
Score distribution:
Local Dimming
:
No
What it is:
Whether it has a feature that controls the LEDs behind the LCD layer, to match the picture and darkens the dark portion of it.
When it matters:
On LED TVs only. Dark scenes viewed in a dark room.
Backlight
:
Direct
What it is:
Configuration of the lights of the backlight.
When it matters:
Effectiveness of the local dimming.
Good value:
Full-array/direct lighting is better for local dimming. As for the uniformity of the screen, it depends on the implementation. Some edge-lit TVs have more uniform blacks than some full-array TVs.

LCD Type
:
IPS
What it is:
Type of LCD technology used by the TV.
When it matters:

When it matters:
Large living rooms with multiple viewing positions.
Good value:
> 50°
Noticeable difference:
10°
Score distribution:
The main upside of the LG LF5800 is its wide viewing angle. You need to sit at a very wide angle to notice discoloration.
Update 01/06/2017: We have changed the methodology of testing. Since this is an old TV which we don't have anymore, we extrapolated the results from 2016 TVs.

Good value:
Glossy is good for ambient light, but not for direct reflections.
The LG 42LF5800 reflects a lot of light. Bright objects also have a rainbow glare around them.
It also doesn't get very bright, so it's a poor choice in a room with windows.

Conclusion
SEE PRICE
Amazon.com
The LG LF5800 is very similar to the cheaper LF5600. The picture quality is about the same, but it adds 60hz motion interpolation, smart features and better upscaling. However, it still isn't a good TV. In a dark room, the blacks are gray, and in a bright room, it reflects too much light. At least the colors stay true off-axis.
