- Low input lag
- Contrast and colors are retained at an angle
- Can't get very bright

- Bad uniformity
Poor movie performance in a dark room. Native contrast ratio and uniformity are below average. Doesn't support features to improve picture quality such as local dimming.
Slightly above average for watching TV in a bright room. Picture quality is slightly worse than average, but doesn't degrade as fast as other TVs when viewed at an angle. Can't get very bright to combat glare, and faint rainbows can be seen around reflections. Smart platform works well for casual watching.
Better than average for watching sports. Picture quality is slightly below average, but performs quite well for those with wider seating. Motion performance is great due to low response time. Can't get very bright to combat glare.
Slightly above average video game performance. Picture quality is slightly below average. Feels responsive due to low input lag and has quick response time which is good.
Doesn't support HDR. Picture quality is slightly below average. Can't get bright highlights and doesn't support a wider color gamut.
Below average for a PC monitor. Only a 1080p TV, so no support for higher resolutions. Supports chroma subsampling for clear text. Feels responsive, due to low input lag. Motion is handled well.

Popular TV Comparisons
The LG LH5700 is a budget 1080p TV in quite a competitive market. When viewed from in front or in a dark room it has below average picture quality. As such it doesn't really stand out from the competition, but may be a good choice for those with wider seating and on a budget. Keep this in mind when viewing our recommendations below.
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.
