LG LK450
- 32" 1080p LCD
- 60 Hz
Released February, 2011
Rated 100% by by Jesse-Roberts (Jan, 2012)The viewing angle is pretty good on the IPS, colors stay the same even from an extreme angle, although you'll see the white backlight more, still very much viewable.

Rated 80% by by J.-HOGG (Jan, 2012)Overall: Nice TV and so far so good, but I'm wondering if I would have been better off to pony up the extra $100-$200 for an LED-backlit model since this TV runs 14+ hours a day?

LK450 by c|net (Nov, 2011)We performed a hands-on evaluation of the LG 42LK450, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series.
LK450 by RC (Sep, 2011)This set looks just as good, and its very hard to see the size difference between the two screens.
thickness
LK450 by GoodCustomer (Jan, 2012)It is as thin as I could wish, and the plain black border is pleasant.
Performance Real world tests of LG LK450

LK450 by c|net (Nov, 2011)We did not test the power consumption of this size in the LG LK450 series, but we did test the 42-inch model.

LK450 by Roy-Basilisk (Feb, 2012)Image quality is indeed excellent, with the issue regarding relatively light black levels easily addressed through the extensive tweaking options.
