Review summary: One-upping your pals with tech talk is one of life's great gadget joys. It used to be hard drive space on your PC and then your phone. Today though, it's all about how many Hz your TV has. 100? Pah. The LG 42LH5000 has 200Hz, aimed at making pics look ...

Pros: 200Hz pics, cheap for what it is

Cons: Washed out colours, grey blacks

Verdict: A fine HD Tv with 200Hz let down by basic lack of decent colours

Pros: Great price for its specification ; loads of features and connections ; good control of motion blur ; very bright for a 32-inch screen

Pros: Capable and assured picture. Good spec, including 200Hz. Stylish. Decent value for money

Cons: Perhaps could do better with black levels - but this is a minor quibble
