+ Nice styling and brilliant picture. The HD picture is particularly good and the size of the screen means that the TV doesn't dominate our living room but is a vast imporvement on the 28" wide screen TV it replaced. I am very pleased with this TV.

- Picture quality not as good on dark lit scenes, presumably due to the limitations of LCD technology. Only one HDMI connection although I don't find this a problem. No means to turn the TV completely off other than at the power socket.

Score 8.0/10

+ Picture quality is very good and it has some useful features e.g. split screen, various sound and picture formats with easy to use controls. The design of this model is excellent as the surround frame is minimal meaning that most of what you are looking at is the actual screen.

- Probably as with all lcd screens at the moment there is some distortion in picture quality with fast moving images but no doubt this will eventually improve with new technology.

+ I am delighted with the set. I spent ages researching and looked at some televisions within a much higher price bracket and specification but without doubt this one offered the best value for money. I like the speakers at the bottom of the screen as they balance the overall appearance with the size of the screen.

- Not the best sound quality but better than most at this price level or even just above.

- No way of actually turning the power OFF on the set, unless you turn off at the mains. Fortunately I can. Sometimes the picture is rather dark, but simply increasing the brightness does the job.

+ The PIP (picture in picture - 2 screens at once) is very useful. The number of scart inputs is good.

- without an HD signal the picture is not good at all but I believe it will be amazing once HD channels are more accessible and cheaper to get. There is no power button, only stand buy so unless switched off at the mains it remains on stand by using energy.

TechRadar expert review

If we were superficial types, we'd be completely seduced by this 32in LCD TV's appearance: there's something sophisticated and sturdy about its black frame with silver strip that would look at treat in most living rooms. Still, the HD-ready LG 32LC2D has got to back up its delightful appearance with some visual results, as it's up against some fierce competition in this group test. This cracking start falters on further inspection: connectivity is a little on the average side. There's only one HDMI, a little short-sighted and hardly forward-thinking for the price. There are three…
