PICTURE QUALITY
The LG 37LE5500 showed great color and brightness margin. As for the viewing angle, in this aspect the device has pleased us: the colors do not change when you change the angle, only black loses a little depth when viewed from an angle of 60 degrees.
When playing the signal from the HDMI input resolution was about 850 TV lines, that is, it was at a good level. The TV showed a fairly good quality of display of black shades. Black is deep, white is rich, and white objects on a white background show up with good detail.
Digital artifacts like combing on moving oblique lines is not noticeable, the movement on the signal of standard definition is displayed smoothly.
Flesh tones are a little oversaturated on the factory settings, but there are a lot of color settings to tweak the color palette to your liking.

Shades of black, as well as white objects on the bright background, are displayed with pretty good detail. Black is deep, white is rich.
