There are different versions of the same size box. Obviously, they use a 
different LCD!

If you go search, there is very little differentiation between the 
models. Even if you know exactly what the model is you won't find the 
spec limits in the user manual.

The user manual (pdf) which I got covers:

37LB5D 42LB5D 47LB5D 52LB5D

32LB4d 37LB4D 42LB4D

I *think* that the 4D versions are the 1366x768 and the 5D are 
1920x1080. There is NO explanation of any differences except as to 
physical dimensions and weight. NONE.

 From my own experience, I suspect that LG has used the exact same edid 
code throughout all of these models. Until I forced xorg.conf to ignore 
the edid, and to use the patched edid.bin, Xorg.0.log reported 1920x1080 
and I got ridiculously tiny fonts on login and on console screens. 
(Mythtv was fine and I ran it that way for easily 2 months, but I could 
only debug or change things using an ssh connection.)
