Notice: This TVs was replaced by LG LB5800
The LG LN5400 LED TV has a good viewing angle and low input lag. However, its contrast is very low and it suffers from some noticeable motion blur. This TV is more suitable for a bright room due to its poor blacks.

Our Verdict

0.0
Mixed Usage 

If you don't have a dark room, buy this TV. Its only major downside is that its blacks are poor when watched in dim lighting. With the lights on, it is a solid TV with an impressive viewing angle. It also has very low input lag, which is perfect for gaming, and it is significantly cheaper than the competition.

Pros
  • Very good viewing angle. The colors stay true wherever you sit.
  • Low input lag. It is great for a gaming TV.
Cons
  • Poor contrast ratio. The blacks will appear gray when you have the lights off. This isn't an issue in a bright room.
  • Average amount of motion blur.
  • Only two HDMI inputs.

    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.
