Short Review
- The LG CU500 features a compact design with dimensions of 96.5 x 49.5 x 19.3 mm and a weight of 105 grams, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its TFT display measures 0 inches with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, offering basic visual performance with 65K colors at a refresh rate of 60Hz.
