Introducing LG
LG is one of the fastest growing electronics companies in the world. Their motto is "Life's Good ™," and their products strive to confirm that idea. The 52LB5D is LG's new LCD model featuring a 178-degree viewing angle USB ports, three HDMI inputs, built-in speakers with surround sound, and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. And more. With this dynamic view, you'll get really great gaming, flawless movies, and the ability to look at your family photos and listen to MP3s. Plus, the QAM tuner lets you watch cable programming without the need for a separate box. All in a compact, flat screen. Such luxurious entertainment will have you agreeing with LG about the goodness of life in no time.
XD Engine®
LG has also created their exclusive XD Engine to contribute to picture improvement. This engine takes the low resolution of analog signals to near HD levels by improving brightness, contrast, detail, and enhancing color as well as reducing signal noise. This is a total solution that results in cinema-like, high resolution images.
Advanced LG Simplink
The LG Simplink, also known as HDMI-CEC, allows for easy, direct, user-friendly control of other LG Simplink products using the existing HDMI connection. HDMI is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all high definition formats including 720p and 1080i. An all-digital, uncompressed signal translates into the highest quality video and audio, seen and heard, direct from the source. Even if you have components that don't provide a high definition signal, a built-in image scaler handles inputs from a variety of digital and analog sources. This means the 52LB5D will scale a standard definition picture up to high definition.
Custom Visuals: IntelligentEye And Manual Adjustment
With the IntelligentEye feature, the super bright LCD monitor automatically adjusts to the lighting in the room, so you can view your screen just as comfortably on a sunny day as you can in a dimly lit room on movie night. Also, you can access manual picture adjustment with your remote, and change everything from the picture mode (like color temperature, and aspect ratio) to contrast, brightness, color and sharpness. The 52LB5D lets you then save your settings, and allows for a second user to choose entirely different settings. It's kind of like those beds with separate settings on the left and right side: now you can both keep your viewing preferences securely chosen, without worrying that the other person will reset them. Who would have known a TV could be such an influence toward a peaceful home?
The Sound Of The Good Life
You can also customize the sound. With four manufacturer choices, Standard, Music, Movie, and Sports, and one manual setting that you create (User), the adjustment possibilities allow you to have your ideal audio experience. Change treble, bass, and front surround to your liking. TruSurround XT takes advantage of any multi-channel format without needing to add extra speakers or equipment. Dialog clarity, bass enrichment, and the addition of stereo audio enhancement produces immersive sound from standard stereo material. The 3D EchoSound system creates a stunning simulated stereo effect from any mono sound, and provides a very deep and realistic three-dimensional sound stage.
And Don't Forget The Standards
Aside from its own innovations that make it an LG, the 52LB5D also comes with features many people consider standard basic necessities for today's TVs. Features such as parental controls, ratings display, system lock, and passowrd protection make this TV welcome in any home environment. Also, as with most flat screen TVs, you'll have the option of mounting the TV on a table or a wall. Plus, you can hook this TV up to your computer, MP3 device, camcorder, or digital camera, for multiple types of use.
