LG 32LK430 supports external hard disc. Although i bought this
TV, did not test all features yet due to my brothers marriage. Below are the lines from user manual
------------
The recommended capacity is 1 TB or less
for a USB external hard disk and 32 GB or
less for USB memory.

I have only connected a pen drive of 2GB so far and it pretty much played all the formats. I guess mkv as well. As per manual below are the movie formats supported. you would see pretty much everything that is currently possible.

Let me know if you have any more specific questions on this model. I may be able to test for you.
Hi, i want to Buy a LCD TV 32", which should be supported External HDD.
I search and i found
Samsung series5, 550 model will support External HDD but the cost is 36,000/- (showroom price is 30 - 32K).
Will LG-32LK430 will support External HDD, with MKV, avi format?
Which brand should i go?
----------
In LG site they mentioned that its supports Divx HD, but they dont mention that it will support .mkv (H.264) format.
They Mentioned the following format only
Movie(*.mpg/*.mpeg/*dat/*.ts/*.trp/*.tp/*. vob/*.mp4/*.mov/*.divx/*.avi/*. wmv/*.avi(motion-jpeg)/*. mp4(motion-jpeg)
Video format : DivX3.11, DivX4.12, DivX5.x, DivX6, Xvid1.00, Xvid1.01, Xvid1.02, Xvid1.03, Xvid1.10 beta-1/beta-2,
Mpeg-1, Mpeg-2, Mpeg-4, H.264/AVC, VC1, JPEG, Sorenson H.263

To add to Balaji, it may not be able to decode DTS, but has optical audio out which may be able to send audio signal to your HT for decoding.
LG-32LK430 should play mkv files. If it has USB movie playback feature, it is likely to play mkv. The best way to check is to go to the showroom and check.
BUT LG USB movie playback won't be able to play DTS audio. In that case, you'd need a HD media player like WD Live. Or you can connect a
laptop or desktop to play the movies.
