After the first few minutes of testing the LG 26“ LC55 we were thrilled to see that LG had still preserved its name in the growing market of LCD TVs. The LG26LC55 is incredibly user friendly. Thanks to its auto tuning function it took us about two minutes to setup both receivers.

We were very happy to see that LG has met all of its high standards in picture quality. This TV is equipped with LG’s new XD Engine image processor and comes with a digital tuner resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels as well as dynamic contrast ratio of 5000:1. The LG 26” LC55 delivered a nearly HD quality image from a basic analog receiver, which we considered to be a big plus. We were very pleased with its refresh rate of 3 ms which meant almost no trails, even in fast action sequences; it brought sports and games to a new level of play.

The TV comes with two HDMI, two Scart and one PC input connectors in the back. It is also fitted with Freeview. However, what truly impressed us were its sound capabilities. It is equipped with Surround MAX SSM (6 Sound Status Mode) 10W + 10W and dimple speaker for clear and powerful sound quality; moreover, the TV is compatible with Dolbly digital out (5.1 Home Cinema System) just incase you want to connect it to another sound system for that extra edge.

We were not too pleased with its viewing angle of 160 degrees, but it was to our expectations at its current market price.
