Review of LG - 32LS4600 (and 42ls4600)
Slim, Superb connectivity options and Full HD, do you need anything more?
One of the greatest thing about LG-32LS4600 is Edge LED. Means it’s super slim, and knocking on the surface does not bring distortion (like Samsung TVs) and acts as a protector.
Next, i would give 5 star rating for connectivity options. 2 components input, 3 HDMI and 2 USB ports. Also the placement of 1 HDMI and 1 USB in the side make it truely awesome for quick connect and you do not need to struggle between the wall and TV.
I picked this TV as we do not need Internet/Apps on TV. Other features of this TV are -
- Full HD - 1080p/i: Most 32-inch LED TVs come with lower 1,366 x 768 resolution. The full resolution of the TV is 1920x1080p
The TataSky HD delivers 1080p resolution for it’s ten HD channels.
- DLNA - It is network ready and Windows Vista/7 can share media files with the TV. I was able to successfully browse shared files on Laptop and play on this TV. However, controlling playback (play/pause/stop) directly from Media Player did not work. There is a LAN port at the back of the TV to connect to sub-network. I was able to connect to Netgear n150 router and able to connect to DLNA server.
- DivX ready - played almost all of my video files.
- Edge LED: This brings better control over contrast ratio. The TV is super slim.
- 3 HDMI, 2 components, 2 USB ports: You can connect your xbox, HD set top box, and a DVD player to three HDMI ports. The USB port is 2.0
- LG’s free installation: LG offers free installation. I called in the morning and they were at my home on the same day for installation. This free installation includes wall-mount only.
Price in India: MRP of LG 32LS4600 is Rs 46,000 (listed on LG website) however it is available in retail shops at around Rs 36,000. (At Bajaj Electronics in Punjagutta, Hyderabad I was able to get more discount.) Note: Price mentioned here is indicative only and is subjected to change on manufacturer/retailer’s will.
Rating: 4.5/5

where the hell is 2nd usb port? Mine has a single. No option for connecting 5.1
One is on the side, other is on back. Though there is no options for 3.5mm or 5.1, but I think optical audio aout supports 5.1, not sure.
Hi Ankit, I bought this LED TV two weeks back. Design and Look wise it is very good. But I am facing one problem. When I am trying to play .mkv movie of 4.6 GB through USB pendrive(8GB).It is playing around 1min and then showing me a message USB loading... I dont understand the issue. Is it regarding TV or not!
Hi Ankit, I had bought this TV two weeks back.It is very good in looks wise.But I am facing a problem while playing a .mkv movie of size 4.6 GB from a pendrive(8GB). It is not playing continously. It is playing around a minute and saying disconnected, a new pop is coming saying that a pendrive is ready for use. I dont understand the issue. Could you throw some light on this issue? Thanks, Venkat.
Hi! I saw the TV today was impressed by the looks however on doing some research online I found Cnet has not given very good reviews. Secondly my other choice is samsung Eh5000 46" or Panasonic ThL42e5. What is your opinion? What is your experience so far?
I too bought the same a week back...looks good as of now:-) Great picture quality unlike samsung which doesn't differentiate between snow white and bright white....
What is the Dynamic Contrast Ratio (DCR) ?
how i connect lg 42 ls4600 to internet ? how can i browse the web
