Description: The LG 32LC7D is a 32-inch, LCD television.Compared to other LCD TVs on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $600.This product is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.

Pros: With built-in HDTV compatibility, this television can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)The 3:2 pulldown feature of this set reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.

Cons: Has only a rear connector location.

Suitability: Ideal for an small to medium sized apartment or condo living room.Also, a wide aspect TV such as this one is well suited for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.

Value: In view of its very inexpensive price, this TV has great features for the money.In terms of viewable size, LCD TVs with comparable viewable size have an average cost of about $805.
