+ the design and finish on the tv is brilliant, the easy to use built in dvd is excellent when you have the instructions,picture is good from any angle,sound quality good,overall the tv is very good,would be a lot better with more specific written instructions.

- there are no user instructions,the owners manual is on cd,and you need someone to download on to a pc to print off the instructions.

+ One of the few 32 inch TV/DVD combis on the market. Good value for money and easy to use. It was purchased for my elderly mother who finds it simple to use especially with the DVD player slot on the side.

- It was not explained how to go from DVD mode to TV.

+ Good value with the combined DVD and Freeview. Looks good and easy to set up

- The remote control does not illuminate and is not partularly easy to use. Sound quality is a bit tricky to get right in louder volumes. DVD and TV volumes are different when swapping from one to the other.

Score 10.0/10

+ It's excellent value for money, it's lightweight slimline design with built in dvd player and digital tv. It's easy to fit to the wall with a universal wall bracket. The sound quality is excellent, it has preset equalizer modes for for what ever program your watching. The picture quality is fantastic, also is the dvd.

- None.

Andrew, Blandford Forum

Score 8.0/10

+ Integrated DVD is a fantastic space-saver for a bedroom. The TV and DVD are both easy to use, and having only one control decreases clutter.

- I still need to tweak some of the picture settings, sometimes the picture feels a bit too bright.

Expert reviews for LG 32LG4000

TechRadar expert review

If you thought DVD was old news, think again. As players get progressively cheaper and the size of second room TVs gets ever larger, the good old TV/DVD combi may be about to make a comeback. And the LG 32LG4000 is leading the way.DivX supportThe built-in DVD player has been very tidily incorporated into the TV's chassis, with discs being easy to insert via a vertical slot, which is invisible from the front, tucked behind the screen. In fact, aside from being perhaps a tad chunkier than most 32-inchers, the 32LG4000 is very attractive by the standards of economically-priced sets.As it …

Most small flatscreen TVs have LCD screens. Some larger TVs have plasma screens. Some very new TVs have LED screens. Traditional TVs are called Standard or CRT.

Full HD TVs have screen resolutions of 1080p and can output at least 24 frames per second. Full HD is becoming common, but you won’t see Full HD on normal TV channels for a long time, so it remains optional for many people.

Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky.

Some products come with built-in DVD players or Blu Ray players.
HDMI Interface	2
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
Number of Scart Interfaces	1
Scart sockets are places where you can connect other devices to your TV. If you already have a DVD player, a VCR and a Playstation you might want to make sure your new TV has enough Scart interfaces so you don’t have to keep crawling round the back of the TV.
Frequency (Hz)	50
A TV’s frequency is how often the picture is updated per second, and is measured in Hertz (Hz). A higher frequency, such as 100 Hz, means that a TV is more likely to show fast-moving images with high detail.
Contrast Ratio (X:1)	50000
This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
Response Time in ms	8

Reflection Angle	178
Also known as the viewing angle, it’s a measure of how good the picture looks when you are not face on to the screen. Higher is better.
Screen Format	16:9
This is a ratio of the horizontal to the vertical size of the screen. 16:9 is standard widescreen format for TVs, replacing the older 4:3 format.
Brightness in Candela per square metre	500
Brighter TVs, such as LCDs, tend to provide a better experience in lighter rooms, whereas TVs with a lower brightness, such as many plasma TVs, are often better suited to darker rooms.
PC Interface	Yes
If you’d like to use your TV as a PC monitor you’ll need to make sure it has a port to allow you to connect it. This is usually a VGA port, but some TVs include a newer DVI port. Adaptors are availible to allow VGA to DVI and vice versa.
USB Port	Yes
