LG 42LG6100 LCD HDTV Review



Reviewed by David Mackenzie
The fantastic calibrated Greyscale and Colour performance make the 42LG6100 frustrating: its weak contrast ratio and intrusive video processing really sour what could have been a very respectable package.

Totally agree, I could not have it in my house for certain, it really is an ugly beast. beauty though and all that in the eyes of the beholder.

Re: LG 42LG6100 LCD HDTV Review

ok, out of the box, my first impressions were.. WOW... thats GINORMOUS !!!

the SD image is ok, i just cant get used to the motion of the image.. its stange somehow..

my wife beat me in the head for the screen size, saying that it gives headaches..

so i guess i wil really have to change it for a 40'' i hope.. but yes, for the size of it, and for some quality, i dont know better for the price..

Re: LG 42LG6100 LCD HDTV Review

I sent my one of these back as I thought it was way too big when I got it out of the box. Tbh, I wasn't terribly impressed with the picture quality but I didn't really mess around with the settings so this may have improved. Fortunately Dixons were fab about giving me a refund.
