LG 47LG70 47-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV Review
Excellent LCD!!!
I bought this LCD last year (Nov 2008) on Amazon for 80. I was trying to look for a good black Friday sale on a 120mhz LCD. I went and checked out so many LCDs and saw this one which I loved. Well after looking around for the sales and deals, nothing came close to Amazon’s price, which included free white glove delivery and no tax, so my total price was 80.
TV arrived on time and the delivery guy even took it up stairs and unpacked it and hooked it up so I could test it to make sure it was working fine. Setup was a breeze and watching my HD Uverse and my upscale DVD, both on 1080i, is such a blast. I don’t have a Blu-Ray, so I could not tell you how it looks on 1080p yet but I have seen how it looks at the stores playing Blu-Ray and it looks great! I can’t tell you how great the picture is, you have to see to believe. Do what I did, go to a Best Buy, Fry’s, or any electronic store and look at the picture yourself. The great thing about that is you can do a side by side with other models and brands. I also have a PC hooked up to it and using it as a monitor and playing games on it via the computer looks great. Movies played off of the computer or streamed from the internet look great as well. The LCD has 4 HDMI connections which is a great feature to have. To me the build-in sound is good. I have it in the media/game room and it sounds just fine without any hook extra hook ups. When I have people over, I’ll turn on the surround sound on to feel the movies but for everyday watching, the build-in sound is great. Many of my friends that come over comment on how nice and true to life the picture quality looks. These are people with other LCD like Samsung, Panasonic, Toshiba, and Sony. Their LCD/Plasmas range from 42-50 from 60-120mhz. It’s nice to know that they think your LCD looks good. Glare is not an issue with this LCD. Others I had seen at the stores had a bad glare from the lights of the store and this one did not at all.
Like I said before, I had shopped for many months looking and playing around with different LCDs and Plasmas, looking and picture quality, features, price, etc. This LCD stood out in my top 5. The price offered on Amazon sealed the deal for me.
This is by far the best LCD for the price. You can’t go wrong.

Great TV but had problems with remote control sensor – sparrow00 – Ocala, Florida, USA
This television is awesome. It has an intelligent sensor which corrects the picture automatically based on the room conditions. Very sleek design and very elegant touch/manual control features. Has USB, component, and HDMI access on side panel as well as on the rear of the TV.
One problem I have just come across after having the TV for 1 year is that it would no longer respond to any remote control. I had to change the remote control sensor which did not correct the problem. After loads of internet searches and trying obscure things, I found a tech forum discussion board in which several people were having the same problem.
The solution was to plug in any 1/8″ headphones into the remote control or the headphone jack on the back of the TV. I tried this and it worked. Then logically, I decided to air-can dust all the component access points on the rear and side panel of the TV. The remote continues to functional as normal without having the headphones plugged in.
Hope this helps anyone who is searching!
Glad I own one – L. Steven Holmes – Deer Park, WA USA
I have had this 47LG70 for 14 months. My friend just bought a new Samsung, LCD 52 inch, and has it hooked up to Direct TV HD. The other night he stated that his HD was not as clear as my Dish TV HD. You should have seen his face when I told him that I do not have HD. I am always getting comments on how clear the picture is. The best feature’s are the Aspect Ratio; this sets the screen to the signal feed automatically or you can adjust it yourself. Picture Mode; This mode has Intelligent Sensor as well as other choice’s. The Intelligent Sensor adjust the quality of the picture in different lighting conditions. Our LG is set up in a room with large windows with Southern exposure. No matter what the light condition is the screen stays the same. Oh yeah, No glare!!!!!!
If you are not sure what to buy. Stop your looking and buy this unit. You will not be sorry. The one only draw back is that it only has one Composite (RCA) Connection. But is does have plenty of other inputs that you may never use or need.
This TV is great… When it works… Which is never. – P. Miller – Wisconsin
Ignore all the other reviews where they say that have owned the TV for a week and love it. I’ve owned this TV for a year and have had plenty of time to discover what a rip off it is.
Picture quality: No complaints
Tuner quality: Terrible. I get better reception from a cheap external tuner.
Sound Quality: The “Invisible Speaker” Buzzes constantly. If you buy this TV plan on also buying a separate sound system.
Inputs: The Inputs have a delay which make it impossible to play video games because the buttons you push on your
controller don’t match up with the action on the screen
Reliability: This is the worst of all. I have already had to replace the mother board and now the bulb just blew out. Even between repairs, the picture does not always boot up properly forcing you to turn the TV off and restart it.
This product is junk! Choose a different brand.
