DESC: Since LG entered the high definition flat panel market, their technology has steadily improved; the LG 42LB5D is the culmination of all those improvements, and proof that LG has established themselves as a leading HDTV manufacturer. 1080p visuals simply explode off the screen and the detail and color are enhanced further by a 10,000:1 contrast ratio and XD Engine color processing. LG’s Super IPS Technology serves a dual purpose by giving the 42LB5D a blisteringly fast response time and one of the industry’s widest viewing angles at 178 degrees. No matter where you’re sitting, this panel provides a vivid, life-like picture that can stand up with the most elite LCDs on the market.
