Description:
The LG 22LG31 is a 22-inch, LCD television.
Compared to other LCD TVs on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $465.
This TV is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.
Pros:
Has digital MPEG noise reduction circuit, video noise reduction, XD engine technology, channel labeling, auto power off, on-screen menu, and on/off timer features, which is considerably more favorable than some similarly priced TVs.
In fact, the typical cost of a product with a comparable set of features is $1,245.
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 TV 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 as a secondary TV in a bedroom or small den.
Also, a wide aspect display such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.
Value:
In view of its relatively 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 around $535.
