Thanks to LED technology, this set is a mere 1.2 inches thin. The TV can connect to other devices through two USB ports, four HDMI inputs, AV and component video inputs, PC audio and RGB inputs, an RS-232 LAN port and more.

Thanks in part to the XDA image engine, the LG 42LV5500 boasts a 5 million to 1 contrast ratio and a 120Hz refresh rate, which improve image sharpness and reduce image blur, respectively. The LED lit TV offers a slew of Internet features as well through its Ethernet or Wi-Fi connections. Features like LG Smart TV, which provides users with Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, Hulu Plus and more.
In addition to a list of apps and games, users interact with these features through the Magic Motion remote, an included remote control with motion control a’ la the Nintendo Wii remote. The LG 42LV5500 can connect to devices through DLNA sharing, and is Energy Star-compliant thanks in part to its efficient LED screen.
