TelevisionInfo.com gave 32LH40 (which is the smaller version of the same line 55LH40) a pretty good rating citing, “It
doesn’t have the highest contrast ratio and its color temperature tends to wander, but it did tend to have less artifacting/blurring issues than competing TVs. Overall, the 32LH40′s picture quality performances were about on par with other TVs its size and price. The one advantage it offers is media playback via USB.
