Simply LED TV Wall mounts

LG’s LE5500 is the latest LED TV to hit the market, offering an impressive range of features including full 1080p high definition viewing and a 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio – but how does it fare against the competition?

As with any tv led lcd panel, it’s important to remember that the only difference is the way that the screen is lit, using light emitting diodes instead of fluorescent tubes. The display itself still uses the twisting of crystals to control the amount of light shining through it.

The LE5500 tv led is rose wood in colour, which tends to work well in more traditional homes but may not be the true cutting edge chrome and black style that suits very modern living rooms. The television is a shallow 1.2 inches in depth and weighs about 65 pounds (around 30 kilogram’s) without its stand. With the stand the screen can rotate through 40 degrees, 20 degrees either side of the centre. It also comes fitted with VESA screw fittings for tv wall mounts.

The lcd tv panel features a local dimming option, where bulbs can be dimmed or brightened in different areas independently to improve on black levels. Unsurprisingly then, the black levels were very good and potentially better than some plasmas on the market right now.

The bulbs also use less power than fluorescent tubes which will be well received for the green consumer and great news for their wallets. The model also features some additional power saving options which include the ability to turn off the screen when listening to music and an intelligent sensor that adjusts the screens brightness and colour according to ambient light levels.

When it comes to connectivity, the tv lcd has a moderate range of inputs, with four HDMI ports, two component ports, USB 2.0 access and a 15-pin computer input. For sound, the unit comes with two 15 watt speakers which do sound a little tinny, but no more than those provided on its competitors.

The panel features TruMotion 240Hz – a super fast refresh rate that works great for sports viewing. However, this will did require some judder reduction and motion blur adjustment to work well. While this isn’t too hard a task, this could be a major drawback for the less A/V literature consumer.

Also there’s no direct control button on the remote control for the TruMotion setting, which can mean going through a long set of menus each time you switch between normal and sports viewing.

Colour rendition on the tv was impressive with deep colours from a wide colour gamut. The viewing angle was also good, with no contrast degradation up to 45 degrees either side of centre.

The tv also features wireless connectivity with a range of video sites, including Netflix, and Youtube, and is Skype integrated, allowing you to make free internet calls without the use of a PC.

Priced at around $1500, the LE5500 LED TV comes in at the mid-range and fairly so. The tv is an attractive product with great black levels and internet connectivity that most consumers will really enjoy. While it’s not cutting edge, it’s certainly suitable for the average consumer and stacks up well against its closest competitors, the Samsung UN55C6500 LED TV or the Sharp LC-52LE820U.
