LG 42LK520 Review Features

Firstly it’s a good option for a person looking for a basic functional TV. It packs a lot of features & has greater display quality than many of the LED & Plasma TV out there in the market. This attributed greatly to the 1080p HD feature & LG’s very own TruMotion technology which gives virtually a blur-free & smooth image. The Full HD feature helps maintain the crispness of the image intact & gives an excellent quality display, which is much better than the standard HDTVs in the market. The 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio also aides in giving a brilliant image quality.

The LG 42LK520 Review would be incomplete if we don’t talk about its TruMotion technology & the Picture Wizard II technology. The TruMotion technology gives the viewers smooth, crisp & blur-free images. This feature makes watching sports & fast paced action movies a delight to watch. The screen refresh rate of 120 images per second gives the display a virtually blur free image.

The Picture Wizard II technology automatically optimizes the display settings when switched on. The feature gives real good details in case of black tones or shadows in the picture. Various display settings like tint, color etc. are all adjusted to give balanced & vibrant images.

Another feature of LG 42LK520 to be reviewed is the Intelligent sensor which optimizes the LED backlight according to the lightening present in the room.

Certain other features of LG 42LK520 Review are the various ports provided for connecting various gadgets to your LCD. Right from a 2.0 USB port to 3 HDMI ports & ports to connect your disc played, game consoles or even speakers. Also LG 42LK520 is Energy Star certified indicating that it is low on power consumption.

The outer casing of black plastic is subtle with tapered sides. The LED light at the bottom adds a good effect when it changes color from red to blue depending on the mode it’s on.

LG 42LK520 Costumer Reviews

Read some reviews from real customer below.

This LG 42LK520 is replacing my well-loved Toshiba CRT tv (which, to my dismay, refused to age or give any sign it was ready to quit and justify my purchase), so I can’t claim great sophistication when it comes to comparing modern, flat-panel TVs.

Having said that, I couldn’t be happier with this LG. The image is crisp and true. The color saturation on the default setting is perhaps a touch brighter than life – which I’m sure can be manipulated easily, but I rather like seeing the world with bright green grass and impossibly blue sky, so I haven’t bothered. The trumotion works well and so far I have seen no after-image or blur. The sound quality is good, but not great, but it matters little to me as I run it through my fairly old home theatre system which makes the whole experience quite wonderful. I even like the subtle light that glows on the lower right corner and turns from red to blue when you turn the tv on – totally unrelated to the tv’s performance, but it’s just cool and makes the tv look expensive. I am enjoying this TV tremendously, and sometimes will turn it on just to look at how nice the picture is.

For about $650 with free shipping, how could I not be happy? Shipping was impressively quick. Set up was relatively easy, though the installation manual is so simple as to be relatively useless. Incidentally, if you’re hooking it up to your satellite receiver, you have to press “input” on your remote and then select “HDMI” – the instruction manual doesn’t tell you this.

None of the minor weaknesses (like the sound – which isn’t bad, it just didn’t blow me away) are signficant enough to drop it out of five-star range. At this price point this TV provides incredible value. I really could not be happier with this purchase. – By Cassandra.

I had spent about 6 weeks researching the various LCD TVs on the market. Granted there are several high end units out there with high end prices. Having purchased the LG 37LD450 about 7 months ago, I wanted another LG. It was coincidence that the LG 42LK520 was a brand new model, just released in March/11. With no previous reviews, I took a chance that this unit would be equal to, or surpass the previous model. I am pleased to state that this LG model has surpassed all my expectations. Well done LG – By J.R. Smith

I went to 4 different stores, went to dozens of websites, and looked at a hundred different TVs before I settled on this model. You don’t need to spend twice the amount for a smart TV because you can simply hook up a Roku box or basic computer to this model for much less money, also you will have much more options with a computer hooked up to your TV than relying on a TV’s embedded browser.

Basically the screen on this model was brighter than most of the other screens on display. Also, the TV with its trumotion technology made the video appear much smoother than most of the other LCDs on display at the store. It had the brightness and crispness of an LCD with smooth motion like a plasma. The speaker system is surprisingly good for the size of the speakers put inside thin TVs these days.

We bought our model at Walmart but you can find it cheaper online if you don’t mind the extra time and hands involved in shipping the product.

Tips: This TV ships with the eco-setting turned on. This means that the screen will dim automatically when there is less light in the room. You can turn this feature off. – By Mr. Mango
