LG 55LB7200
The LG 55LB7200 is a major improvement over last year’s LA7400 series, especially when it comes to color. The colors on this model come out vibrant and natural-looking. Local dimming also helps improve picture quality features by boosting the overall contrast. We were also excited about the High Dynamic Range and the ISP panel, which has been used to great effect in Panasonic LED TVs before. Other improvements are seen in the side viewing angles and the light flow through. You’ll definitely be impressed with the overall brilliancy of the picture. Another perk is the Magic Remote, which finally has an input button for convenience.
