Hello people,
This is a short review of LG's latest launch - JAZZ THEATRE series 32LH60YR model. I got it 2-3 days back.
What's in the box : TV,Remote, tabletop stand, power cord. (Remote comes with alkaline batteries !)
Front panel is in stylish black color with power status LED. (Power LED can be deactivated through settings - a very weird feature !)
I/O terminals in the rear panel can be seen in this pic :
Few exceptional features (in my opinion) of this model are highlighted below : (compared to other brands /models in similar price range)
- Contrast Ratio : 1,00,0000
- Response Time : 2.4 ms
- TruMotion 100Hz
- USB for Audio + Video playback
- A-V out terminal
- Free DVD player DV-388 with full hd upscaling & USB
(I want to try and see if upscaling works for USB media also)
- Awesome sound - converts L+R to 3.1/5.1 channel (simulated)
This model has got thundering sound with very good bass as compared to any other TV of 32" presently. Many LCD's lack in this area & this is where LG has done a really good job of setting completely new audio standards with their JAZZ & THEATRE series. This model has got 70W rms output.
Note that the Side panel has a plastic deflector to direct the speaker sound towards the viewer and give a sourrond effect
Looking at the features, this model seems to be a marriage between LG's JAZZ 32LG80FR & Scarlet 32LH70YR models. It's got sound system from JAZZ series & Trumotion + 2.4ms of Scarlet.
Picture quality : No pixellation with Tata Sky composite input (got 95% signal)
Perception of picture quality varies from person to person, so I don't want to comment on it. I hope some website comes out with a test review soon.
On the down side :
- Connecting cables for component / HDMI / VGA not included.
- 5.1 channel is not as good as 3.1 channel mode.
Bass is not so good in 5.1 mode. Looks more like a marketing gimmick. (Note that 5.1 channel is simulated, it does not have 5.1 channel audio input as such !)
- JUST SCAN picture mode is greyed out. (I dont know why, I have contacted LG care for the same) :huh:
- Picture slideshow thru USB does not occupy the full screen. It shows up in 4:3 aspect ratio with two black vertical bars
- No PIP i.e. Picture in Picture
- Price = 42k which I feel is a little on higher side. Comes with free DVD player and 50 movie pack which are compulsory.No discount if you dont want these things.
Last but not the least, note that this review is not aimed at praising LG. Consider this more as a buying guide to make a choice between this model & other brands/models. Doubts / questions are most welcome.
