This 19-inch liquid crystal display, digital television set from LG boasts a resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels but has a somewhat modest viewing angle of 160 degrees. As are all LG models, this HD-ready unit is packed with features, like a 3D Digital Comb Filter and LG’s proprietary XD Engine that allows a standard signal to be upgraded to near HD quality in real time, providing a viewer with enhanced color, scale, and image clarity.

The television set is equipped with Surround Max for surround sound processing, two 3-watt outputs, six separate Sound Status Modes (Surround Max, Standard, Music, Movie, Sports, and User Defined), an on-screen equalizer, an auto volume leveler to keep renegade volume spikes from harming your beloved audio system, a Dolby Digital Decoder for high quality digital sound reproduction, and more. This LG television set has just most everything you could need in order to enjoy the audio segment of your favorite television shows, movies, and so on.

Connectivity is a little bit meager on this model, but if you’re buying a 19-inch set you’re probably not in need of high-end options such as vast input and output options. The 19LS4D includes one HDMI port, one SCART interface, component and PC connections, and of course S-Video. One connectivity feature that can be found on this LG model is a port for headphone output so you can enjoy what you’re viewing in relative silence, a convenience not found on all television sets these days.

LG lists the lifespan for this set at 50,000 hours. This will give you just under 2100 days of uninterrupted use. Of course, you’re not likely to put this to the test unless you own a business and have your lobby monitors tuned to news 24-hours a day or something. Under normal operating parameters you can expect to get well over 5 years of satisfactory use from this unit. In fact, the television itself will probably outlast the technology that makes it up.

As would be expected, this unit comes with the standard lot of features as well, including parental control, child lock, screen tilt, and so on. LG gets the aesthetics right on most of their products, and this television set is no exception. Ultimately, the LG 19LS4D is a satisfactory solution for anyone looking to buy a new digital television set without springing for a gigantic, high-end model.
