LG 37LD450 37" 1080p LCD HDTV



It's time to take your home theater into the age of HD. And there's no better way to make the leap than with the LD450 series LCD HDTVs from LG. Thanks to its Full HD 1080p panel resolution, widescreen aspect ratio, and 4ms response time, the entry-level 37LD450's 37" LCD display delivers HD video with crisp clarity and a cinematic feel. Further, while 24p True Cinema technology improves the performance of film-based content, an XD Engine optimizes panel brightness, enhances color, and reduces image noise. Look to two HDMI inputs for optimal HD connectivity, and to a USB port for access to JPEG photos and MP3 audio.

Discover the HD experience at home with the LG LD450 series

With the LD450 series, LG serves up an entry-level 1080p LCD HDTV that delivers advanced panel performance. First off, the Full HD 1920 x 1080p LCD panel resolution is ideal for watching the HD video found on sources like Blu-ray Disc. Additionally, the 37LD450 offers a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio for a cinematic experience, a wide 178° x 178° viewing angle that accommodates everyone in the room, and a fast 4ms panel-response time for clean, smooth images. Further, 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio delivers enhanced color and detail. Finally, the 37LD450's 60,000-hour panel life lets you enjoy high-performance LCD for decades to come.

The Real Cinema experience, at home

Way out west in Tinseltown, your favorite films are recorded at 24 frames per second. Unfortunately, most television content is recorded at 30fps, so most televisions are designed to display motion pictures at this speed. Until now, the solution has been to interpolate, or add, artificial scenes into 24fps content in order to "stretch" it to fit a TV's 30fps capability. Recent demands on the part of movie lovers for an authentic home-cinema experience have lead to technological advancements making a 24fps experience possible at home. High definition video like that recorded onto Blu-ray Disc contains 24p (or, progressive-scan 24fps video content) that brings true film into your home. But wait! There's still one more piece the puzzle. While true 24fps film makes it from Hollywood to your Blu-ray player, just like a movie-house feature film, it needs a screen to be enjoyed . . . i.e. your flat panel needs to be able to display 24p content. Enter the 37LD450 with 24p Real Cinema video processing. This technology makes your new LD450-Series LCD fully capable of displaying 24fps video thanks to specific video processing that reproduces film-based images as video content.

Vroom, vroom

Video processing isn't video processing without an engine. An XD Engine, that is. This LG-exclusive technology uses advanced video processing to optimize black levels and panel brightness, to enhance color, and to reduce image noise and artifacts. Additionally, XD Engine technology provides de-interlacing of analog signals, making these compatible with the performance level of modern flat panel technologies. From style on the outside to advanced technologies on the inside, your home HD experience begins with the LG 37LD450.

Bring on the sound

The advanced HD video performance offered by the 37LD450's panel is only half of the story when it comes to the complete home-theater experience. "What's the other half", you might ask? Audio. Not only does the 37LD450 LCD HDTV sport a two-speaker, 20W built-in audio system, but it reinforces it with a variety of audio-enhancing technologies. First, an Infinite Sound system teams up with built-in Dolby Digital decoding to deliver a virtual surround sound experience. Second, an Auto Volume Leveler II ensures that volume levels remain stable — i.e. no loud spikes in volume when TV programming cuts to commercial. Finally, the 37LD450's Clear Voice II technology automatically enhances and amplifies the sound of the human voice's frequency range during scenes when background noise swells, assuring that you catch every last syllable of crucial dialogue.

A side of PC, please

Coming to the rescue in this multiple-component, integrated-system world, the LG 37LD450 serves up an extra helping of connectivity with a PC input. Surf the net, download online movies, play games or get a little work done, all on 37 inches of stunning HD LCD.

The advanced connectivity of HDMI

Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, LG's 37LD450 features two HDMI connections. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)

Your HD lifeline

High Definition Multimedia Interface, or HDMI, is the only home A/V connection that allows for both Full HD 1080p video and 7.1-channel studio-quality audio to be passed along a single cable. In other words, in order to take full advantage of your home theater's high definition potential, you need to HDMI cabling to link HD-capable components. It's only natural that you might have questions regarding how best to outfit your personal HD system. Vann's sales representatives are here to explain all of your options.
