The LG 32LN530B has poor blacks and some motion blur. On the plus side, it has a good average viewing angle and low input lag. Its 720p resolution shouldn't bother you unless you sit very close to it.

Our Verdict

0.0
Mixed Usage 

Like most LG TVs, this LG 32LN530B has grayish blacks if you have the lights off. In a bright room, though, this TV is good, especially considering the price. Do not worry about its lower 720p resolution if you are sitting at a normal viewing distance.

Pros
  • Wide viewing angle. There is no discoloration no matter where you sit.
Cons
  • Its resolution is only 720p. That won't be an issue if you sit at a normal distance.
  • Low contrast ratio. This could be an issue if you have a dimmed or dark room.

    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.
