The LG 42LV5500 42" Smart LED TV packs a vast amount of great high-end specs and convenience features in an affordable TV that will complement any room in your house.
The combination of dynamic contrast ratio, which delivers a ratio of 4,000,000:1 and full 1080p HD, makes the 42LV5500 a remarkable TV by any standard. But that's just the beginning. LG hasn't sacrificed creature comforts for strong specs.
The TV includes a revolutionary way to access limitless content, thousands of movies, customizable apps, videos and the best of the Web all organized in a simple to use interface. That's what you get with an LG Smart TV experience.
Since every room is different, the 42LV5500 employs an AV Mode (Cinema, Sports, Game) to match the color and light level of your specific space. If you would like to take it further, you can activate the Picture Wizard II self calibration function and take charge of specific quality settings like sharpness, backlight level, tint, color and black level. The 42LV5500 is also ISFccc Ready, meaning that it can be professionally calibrated to your spec and the settings saved as a preset. Switching from custom user-selected settings back to the factory default settings can be done with the touch of a button.
The 42LV5500's wide connectivity, which includes four HDMI connections, enables one cable connection of your A/V components. The USB inputs allow you to share JPEG slide shows and videos with your friends. Real Cinema technology displays HD movies just as they were shot in 24p (24 fps) for an authentic theater experience at home, while Dolby Digital 5.1 Decoder balances the voice channel in relation to swelling music or background noise, so you never miss a word of dialogue.
In addition to all of the above, the 42LV5500 is loaded with convenience features like a sleep timer, parental control, closed captioning A/V input labeling and favorite channel programming. Lastly, Energy Star compliance means that you'll be saving money while helping to save the environment.
