For those of you thinking about up grading your aging CRT TV with an HDTV, I want to simplify the process for you. Stick with a major player like LG and take a look at the LG 32LH30 LCD. Priced just under $500, it will compete with units priced much higher. Let me clarify that, you will not find any significant difference between one costing up to $1000 TV when compared to this one.

HDTV is high density TV. It’s now the the industry standard. HD allows TVs to display programming and video games extremely high resolutions. The end result is an extremely crisp and sharp image like no other that you have seen before. The movies that are available in HD will appear with finer detail and less blur. Video gamers love this because the graphics killer and more vivid. HD appeals to our high acute vision sensory stimulus!

With prices relatively low and the foot prints of TVs like the 32LH30 LCD so small, people are rapidly replacing their old analog CRT TVs. Units like the 32LH30 are only a 3.1 inches thick! To give you a perspective, they are fractionally a little larger than your computer monitor! Another factor adding to dumping these old TVs is the growing availability of HD programming-both online and off-line.

The built in picture wizard helps the consumer perform calibration of the controls for brightness, contrast, tint, color, horizontal and vertical sharpness, and back light. This is better than many competing models. The LG 32LH30 LCD is the Best Entry Level HDTV.

The connectivity of the 32LH30 LCD very good. It offers two HDMI ports, an AV input + composite video, a RF input for antenna or cable, an RGB-style analog PC input, a component-video input, and an optical digital audio output located on the back panel. On the left side is the 3rd HDMI input, plus the 2nd AV input with composite video.
