Top 3 22-inch LCD TVs

The price brackets have been getting narrower by the day since the R word happened last year. Thus we at tech2, caring as we are have decided to turn the dials of our focus to a smaller screen size for LCD TVs, that is the humble 22 incher. The thing is that these TVs have not fared badly in our reviews, and price wise they make sense, thus this is a list of the top 3 22-inch LCD TVs that we think you can buy.

LG M237WA LCD TV Monitor
Rs. 16,000
This one needs mention first as it is very reasonable and, let's face it, LG markets their stuff well. This one is an LCD monitor cum TV according to them, which technically is not that different barring the built in tuner , but we will go with the flow. Why? Because I love the red streak at the bottom panel, as I mentioned in the review. Ok, not just that, the TV comes with healthy enough specs(LG is famous for their infinity:1 contrast ratios) and a neat little package of a LCD TV. The bezel is smooth and sleek, with a piano gloss finish, and highly curvaceous edges. 2 HDMIs, cable Tuner in (that’s what makes this a TV) one DVI-D, audio in (3.5 mm miniplug) and a composite, S-video and component video connection are also present.

The model is a 23-inch screen, of perfect 16:9 aspect ratio. Native resolution is 1920 x 1080. The brightness is 300 cd/m2 and contrast is 20,000:1 dynamic. Response time is 5 ms (GTG). The performance held some disappointment. Extreme whites and blacks do not pass the grayscale test, as they all merge into blocks, and there is not much separation and detail in near black and near white zones. A purist might need to look at our second option on the next page for better visuals. There is not much backlight bleed and subjectively speaking the colors looked good actually, though not without a little saturation on the high white levels.
