Having seen the reduced prices on these at DSG's sites, I'm interested in getting either the 19" or 22" LH2000.

I have a few questions on it's spec though please, as retailers and the manufacturer seem to be contradictory.

First off, are the 19 and 22's full 1080p HD sets? It's not really a resolution that concerns me at this size, but the LG site says it's a full HD set.

How many HDMI's do the sets have? Most retailers say 1 on both the 19 and 22, LG say 1 on the 19 and 2 on the 22 and this thread says 2 on both. Which is correct please?

Does the TV definitely have the 24p cinema playback? Again some retailers omit it, some have it as does the LG site.

LG UK Site, 19" LH2000
LG UK Site, 22" LH2000
Currys- 1HDMI, 720p, no mention of 24p
Dabs- 1 HDMI, 720p, Includes 24p cinema

Thanks!

Bought one of these a few days ago (£80 off in currys summer sale), nice looking set, lovely picture without too much fiddling, loaded with useful features - very pleased so far.

I'm sure you already know by now but the reason for the LG website claiming it to be 1080p was simply because the website was new and was filled with bugs and incorrect specs etc...it's fixed now as far as I can see, I can't see anything which is wrong

Wats the best settings for this tv!!!!!!!! I am not happy to be honest!..please help

Morning!

Last week Which? announced some comparisons they'd run on the LG LH2000 versus the Sony WE5:

In the current batch of TVs being tested at the Which? lab, the 42-inch LH2000 from LG has received full marks for its green credentials.
The 40-inch Sony WE5, a model marketed as an Eco TV, also fared very well in our power consumption tests and boasts a range of 'Eco' features, but it didn't quite score as well in our energy efficiency tests as its larger, LG counterpart.

Both models typically use around 90 watts when switched on (the Sony model uses slightly more than the LG model), which is around half that of the average 40-inch models tested over the last two years. When set to their highest power saving modes, the energy consumption of the Sony WE5 drops to just over 60 watts, while the LG LH2000 model reduces its power consumption by less than half to around 41 watts.

The full Which? review of the LH2000 will be live on their site from July 17th.

Hey Karl,

It's nigh impossible to give you a hard and fast rule on settings - there's no right or wrong setting, depends on what you watch, where your TV is and what's best for your eyes - it's all in the eye of the beholder.
We have a video about the LG TV settings menu on our channel which might help you, it's best to play around and see what works for you. Good luck!

the HDMI spec is a standard and is backwards compatible with all previous specs, so it looks like you either have a 1.2 cable that doesn't work or a HDMI port that doesn't work. I would check both.

Got an LG 37 LH2000 this week and am having problems locating it's built-in freeview. The manual (both paper and CD) do not mention anything about it despite the box boasting a sticker of having freeview. I have read a few reviews on other televisions that encountered this same problem, is there a quick fix to access the tv's own freeview? I have already done the auto scan for channels but returned just five or so, I am currently using an old bulky freeview box till I sort this.

Thanks.

If only 5 channels this condition may be because of using an indoor aerial which is not giving an adequate signal strength for the in-built tuner. I have this particular model and have had no problems hooked-up with an outdoor aerial pointing to a "back-up" transmitter, it gets all the channels in a quality I expect.
