LG now farms out the design of many of its screens to a studio in Milan, with even the base range of LCD TV's of which the 32LC56 forms a part coming in for the stylistic treatment. With sleek crisp lines and an ultra thin profile, the 32LC56 finds itself at the forefront of flat panel design.

As part of their budget range of LCD TV's, the LG 32LC56 comes with a screen resolution of 1377 x 768 rather than the Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) on the higher spec LY/LF range, and along with the LF series it is equipped with an 8-bit rather than a 10-bit panel and as such loses the 'Wide Colour Gamut' of the top end LY series.

Picture processing technology on the 32LC56 comes in the shape of LG's proprietary XD engine. The XD Engine brings together a range of picture processing enhancements under the XD umbrella, and amongst other things focuses on improving the input signal quality.

The absence of Full HD resolution on the 1366 x 768 37LC55 does not detract from its performance to any great degree, with the 32in panel not really large enough to show the benefits too their full. High Definition pictures on the LY/LF series are better, but not by much - the 37LC55 is impressively sharp and detailed with HD inputs.
