LG LCD TVs have traditionally been reasonably comfortable with HD material and that trend continues with this set. The picture looks winningly crisp and detailed, and there's impressively little noise created by rescaling 1,080-line images to the screen's 1,366 x 768-pixel native resolution.

Colours look slightly richer and even more natural than with standard definition, meanwhile, and there's seemingly even less trouble with motion blur.

The trickiest element of the 32LB75's picture to judge is its black level response. For while on the one hand there's less greyness over dark images than we're used to seeing with LG TVs, we have seen more profound blackness on one or two rivals. Though to be fair, none of these rivals cost as little as £600.

One other problem with the picture is that it loses quite a lot of contrast if watched from the side.

Sound 

Sonically, the set is nothing more than okay. Treble details are clearly rendered, but they also sound too dominant and 'mechanical' owing to a fairly fundamental lack of bass.

Value 

What few gripes we have with the LG 32LB75 become much easier to forgive in light of the set's extremely approachable £600 asking price.
