Up for Review: LG 22LH20 – This 22 inch display the smallest in LG’s popular LH20 series and will certainly appeal to the budget-conscious consumer looking for a great LCD flat panel at a reasonable price. The 22LH20 provides pictures in sharp 720p high definition technology as well as regular 480p definition. Cleverreviews likes the sleek and simple design of this small flat screen as well as its ease of use. Initial set up and calibration of the LG LCD television was simple with the system’s Picture Wizard which takes the guesswork out of adjusting the visual display.

The LG 22LH20 has an excellent built-in HDTV tuner which can receive over-the air broadcasts with the help of an optional antenna. Viewers can also attach a cable or satellite box for high-definition satellite programming. We were very impressed with the flat panel’s image clarity as it is enhanced by a 1366 x 768 resolution. The 16:9 aspect ratio also provides the proper ratio for widescreen programming. Fast action sequences we watched on this set were great thanks to a quick 5ms pixel response time. The superb 60Hz refresh rate is also key in providing life like movement on this set.
The XD Image Processing technology on the LG 22LH20 is responsible for providing crisp colors and the proper brightness of images. Signal noise is drastically reduced to provide crisp and vibrant pictures. Overall audio quality was decent and about what our reviewers expected on this small LCD television. This television provides consumers seeking surround sound capabilities the appropriate plug-ins. The on board Clear Voice II system automatically enhances and amplifies the human voice frequency range to help keep dialogue audible when background noise swells.
There is a single HDMI input for high definition components such as video game systems, DVR systems, or Blu-Ray DVD players. We thought that an additional HDMI slot would have provided the proper number of HD ports for today’s consumer, but on a smaller television LG thought one should be sufficient. The television also comes equipped with a parental control V-Chip, 24p Real Cinema controller, SIMPLINK™ Connectivity, and is ISFccc Ready. We also laud the LG 22LH20 for its Energy Star 3.0 compliance. This means consumers will save a lot of money when this television is on or in standby mode. We think the 22LH20 is a great choice if you’re looking for a low-cost, small LCD screen. With LG’s commitment to quality, you can purchase this television with confidence!

The 720p HD resolution is awesome, I mean the picture and colors are so sharp even if you’re just playing video games on your XBOX or just watching a movie. Nice review by the way it’s both informative and helpful.

The image processing technology on the LG XD 22LH20 is clear in color and brightness of images. Noise signal is reduced to provide sharp and vibrant images. Overall audio quality is decent and better than our respondents expected from this small TV screen. This quest for television provides consumers with the ability to surround sound plug-ins. The Board of Directors of the clear voice and amplifies II automatically increases the frequency range of human voice to help keep dialogue audible when background noise swells.
