Manufacturer's Description
The LH2000 series is HD Ready and certified by the Energy Saving Trust to save you money off your electricity bills.
22LH2000
The LH2000 series introduces the greener side of innovation. The LH2000 series is not only HD Ready but is also certified by the Energy Saving Trust for saving you money off your electricity bills.
HD Ready
High-definition television, or HDTV, is a new standard of TV with better-quality picture and sound than normal TV, the sort of standard you would see at a cinema. HDTV brings you closer to the action, offering more colours and a higher resolution picture (twice as many horizontal lines). This can make HDTV images clearer, sharper, more detailed and very lifelike.
Freeview/Digital
With LG, you’ll be ready for the digital switchover. By 2012, all areas of the UK will receive TV in digital as opposed to analogue. Freeview is a subscription free service which brings up to 48 digital TV channels including ITV2, E4, BBC3, and Film4, plus 24 digital radio stations, no contract and no satellite dish.
To check if you can receive Freeview in your area, text your postcode followed by your house number or name to 83331* or visit www.freeview.co.uk
HDMI
Connect your games console, blu-ray player or home cinema system through the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) port for a true High Definition multimedia experience.
AV Mode
LG TVs have three special modes (Cinema, Sport and Game modes) for enhanced picture and audio quality. These are easily accessible using the AV MODE hot key on the remote control. Cinema Mode - Watch movies with vivid colour, smoother motion and cinematic sound effect. Sport Mode – Takes you closer to the action by emphasising the main colours and reducing motion blur. Game Mode – Optimises the TV for computer and / or games console for a more dynamic gaming experience.
Invisible Speaker
The front bezel works as a speaker, replacing the normal speaker grill. With the Invisible Speaker System, the speakers are embedded in strategic spots underneath and around the front bezel. They enhance the audio by increasing the ‘sweet spot’ to give a wider and richer sound field. This speaker system provides a clean and fashionable design compared with traditional side or bottom speaker designs.
An Energy Saving Recommended Integrated Digital Television (IDTV) can save around £7 a year and 20 kilograms of CO2 each year compared to a similar TV and set top box; they are amongst the most efficient in their class. There are over 16 million terrestrial digital TV receivers in the UK, and if these were upgraded to IDTVs it would save around £112 million in energy bills. With energy-saving features such as ‘Video Mute’, mechanical power-off switch and ‘Intelligent Sensor’, LG has one of the largest ranges of TVs registered to the Energy Saving Trust’s Energy Saving Recommended scheme. To gain entry to the Energy Saving Recommended scheme products have to meet strict criteria to ensure that they are amongst the most efficient in the market place.

An excellent quailty LCD TV at a bargain price.
Of all the smaller screen LCD TV's the LG 22LH2000 is an absolute gem. Due to its impressive 8000:1 contrast ratio the picture is clean and crisp and bright, and even viewing in regular standard definition the picture is very good.
A common complaint about smaller screen LCD's is the poor quality or tinny sound, and while the LG 22LH2000 does sound a bit weedy if left on its default settings if you go into the sound menu and turn on the SRS TruSurround and turn the bass up to 80 the sound is incredibly good for a small TV.
As a side note, the images shown in the Amazon photos are not the UK spec 22LH2000. The version sold in the UK is slightly different in that the power, volume control and channel buttons are located just behind the the top right of the screen and not on the bottom right hand side as pictured in the photo's.
At the price Amazon are selling at this TV is an absolute steal and a hundred quid cheaper than on the high street.
Good Tv for under 200 quid
i cant believe some of the other reviews for this tv, the sound quality is fine, if you want cinema surround sound you're going to need an external amp, thats the same with bigger tv's that cost 3x the price.
i got this as a bedroom tv for my mum, its very easy to use, has analogue and digital tuners, hdmi/scart inputs (which i dont think she will use).
the analogue tuner is handy (even though terrestrial is being turned off) if you want to watch Sky over the RF connection (using a magiceye) the TV's sky remote code is 0206 , this took a while to figure out (must have tried about 50 codes) but now i can control the tv (and the volume) using the sky remote.
another review says that you cant use the rf connection (ant/aerial) to plug in vcr's and similar devices, this isnt true. you just have to set it to the right mode (I), it picks up the picture using "BG" but theres no sound untill its switched to the right Pal mode (pal I).
i tried it out with my ps3 and bluray playback looks fine, its possible to zoom the picture in and alter the aspect ratio, so you can crop the black bars from some movies and make the most of the small screen size.
overall a decent tv and a good upgrade from a 15inch crt.
Great spec for a small screen television!
I brought this tv for my halls at University and i must say this TV has shocked me with the features it offers. Working with Home Entertainment in my past career, I have never seen a small screen TV that is likely to have great sound as well as multiple input connections such as a USB.
I was originally looking into buying the Samsung LE22B450 but realised that although the TV is a good brand, its not worth the spend as Samsung as a manufacturer do not make enhanced small screen tv's and it is pretty standard and they tend to focus on enhancing large screen tv's especially because they make more profit margin of those sort of items. If you want more for in a TV, e.g. more picture, BETTER SOUND, more inputs as well as a USB, then you need to consider the next top brand which is LG as they tend to input the best features into all Tv's including small screen TV's.
I usually buy Samsung's, but after conducting my research, I found this TV to demonstrate why it is worth the spend. Although the contrast ratio is dynamic on this model, it doesn't really matter as you are not expected to receive an active ratio on small screen tv's up to 22 inches anyway. Some models do infact like the old discontinued Samsung small screen tv's that go up to 8,000:1. But dynamic shouldn't bother anybody. Also if you are somebody who solely want's a good small screen tv because you want good sound then I can honestly tell you, this TV is for you. You will not find any other LG or Samsung small screen tv in the market today to give you sound that you would expect to get from a large screen tv. Also my research showed that LG focus on providing the best freeview digital response ever, meaning you will see that they can give you the best reception as well as other features like a TV guide with the freeview. My research was right as LG do indeed have the best free view response because they continuously focus on developing their integrated free view features in their TV's and i don't think Samsung or other companies can beat that. If you want to go uni as well and want channels as well as an extensive TV guide to tell you want programs are on when (bit like the Sky TV guide), then this TV is for you or any other LG Tv really!
What I didn't like about this tv are two basic things. The fact that the USB input does not recongise all format drives and the fact that the left, right, up and down button on the remote control is quite hard to press. But with regards to the USB area, I didn't expect a small screen tv to have USB connections so i wouldn't bother with the fact that it cannot recongise so much as the TV's sole reason for buying is to watch tv. Furthermore, large screen tv's that have USB connections rarely have USB connections that can recongise all formats anyway which is why most people buy home cinema systems that have USB connection(s) to plug their iPod in or whatever it is they have to view content such as music, photos or movies.
Pros:
- Picture quality is fabulous
- Sound is amazing (it goes up to 100 instead of the standard 30-50)
- The Tv has built in true surround sound
- You can adjust the screen to view in different modes, e.g. gaming mode, cinema mode, music mode etc.
- The frame around the screen panel is thinner in its width, meaning you got more screen panel to view (most tv's give you a massive frame so you only get less viewing provided on the screen).
Cons:
- Up, down, left, right button is a bit hard on the remote control to press and needs a bit of force.
- USB connection doesn't recongise all formats
- If you have a device such as a VCR, Games Console etc and want to connect it to the TV via the Ariel input and not the Scart, HDMI or Component then it won't recongise as the Ariel input has only been designed for you to connect an Ariel in so it can pick up channels better. (Shame really as you may have adapters or something with different devices connected and all feeded through an Ariel connection but it wont recongise).
The Cons listed is perhaps the only reason why I had to give this TV a 3 star. They are not essential or critical problems as my main factors of having a good TV are listed in the Pro's and in this case it has met all the essential criteria you need for a good TV.
Hope this review helps! I thought I write it as I know this model sells a lot on Amazon and no body has written anything! I know i would like to read reviews on products I would like to buy, so I am sure you would if you are interested in buying something but there are no reviews...
