Although CNET did not review the 19-inch LG 19LG30, we did review the 32-inch LG 32LG30. Judging from their spec sheets, the two LG LCD HDTVs are very similar but for screen size. The 19-inch model has a higher resolution but we don't expect that to have much impact on picture quality (aside from sharper display of PC sources), although the other major difference, a lower contrast ratio spec, might indicate inferior black level performance on the 19-inch model compared with the 32. Feature-wise, the 19LG30 is missing the swivel stand and an HDMI input on the side panel, along with a few other minor features. Otherwise we expect the review of the 32-incher to give a good indication of how the 19-inch model will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the LG 32LG30.
