LG 42LS5700

LG's affordable 42LS5700 is a great mid-range smart TV that delivers a solid performance.

The bundled Magic Remote is refreshing and intuitive.; An excellent contrast that shows great black/white differentiation.; This LG uses very little power

Motion performance could have been better
