LG 47LG90 47-Inch LED Backlit 1080p 120Hz HDTV, Gloss Piano Black with Blue Review


I’ve owned this TV for a week now. I haven’t experimented with white scrolling text to look for the blooming and I almost don’t want to. After working with multimedia encoding and 3D graphics, I’ve discovered that ignorance is sometimes bliss. Once you notice something, you can’t stop yourself from seeing it all the time (like macro blocks from MPEG compression, motion “judder,”, etc.).

I’ll also agree with other reviewers that you really need to play with the advanced menus in order to tune the picture. “Vivid” and “standard” are nice for cartoons and anime but are too over-the-top for anything else. The auto-adjusting setting is a nice idea but in practice is annoying because it pops up a logo to tell you it is adjusting the picture. I was watching one night and every time I turned a table lamp on or off, the picture would adjust (which would be fine if it didn’t annoy me with an on-screen logo to tell me about it).

This TV is no Samsung (LED). I can definitely tell the difference in the local showroom and the Samsungs are very svelte. But for this price, I don’t think you can find anything comparable. The LED backlighting definitely increases the visible contrast; you’ll see blacks that you just won’t see on a non-LED LCD. I haven’t seen the blooming or LED “popping” that other reviewers have mentioned, but even if I turn off the dynamic lighting, the LED still gives me brighter lighting, less heat and (theoretically) longer life and greater reliability. Plus, I get bragging rights for a while. “Check it out; the very latest in big screen HD tech!”

Speaking of bragging rights, all of my friends have commented about how wonderful this TV display looks, even people who have bought Samsungs and Bravias in the past year. Considering that I bought this TV at a price that was the same as the non-LED Samsungs, I’m quite happy. All the technical negatives noted about this TV are probably spot on, but for the price, I don’t think I could have done nearly as well with any other TV. I bought this TV as sort of a memorial to my brother who died just this past Christmas. He was very into big screen TVs and the latest tech. I think he’d be happy to see his nephew watching Bakugan in HD glory.

Great Picture – Wayne Kuhn – Redlands, CA
I bought this TV because it had an LED back-lit panel. The picture is brilliant, the colors pop out. The view is good from almost any angle. It generates very little heat. It was the best price performance LED LCD we could find. I wasn’t disappointed. As an extra, the delivery man was courteous and helped me place it and test it.

couldn’t be happier – Michael Porter – Beaufort, SC
the quality of this tv is amazing everyone i know that owns an HDTV says that this one is so much better, the difference between 60 & 120Hz is crazy, even watching a 700 mb 90 min AVI movie on this tv still looks awesome which i thought it would be horrible quality on such a big tv. Anyways you might find other TVs for cheaper with the same specs, but take it from someone who used to fix TVs for LG their customer service is so much better than any other company i have seen that on the rare instance something goes wrong they will take good care of you.

short term review – D. Deutsch – chicago usa
Picture definitely with more contrast and brighter than a regular LCD. I had to switch trumotion off because the feature made all movies look like a reality show.

Freaking awesome – J. Melton – Fairborn, OH
This is the first HDTV I’ve ever purchased and I feel good about it. It’s a beautiful picture, right out of the box. It took me about 10 minutes to unpack, another 5 to connect, and another 5 to configure. Out of the box, I have zero complaints about the picture settings. So far, the only thing in the image I dislike is the halo around candles/bulbs in a really dark setting. Other than that, this is a fantastic t.v.! You can view the image from any angle and the tru-motion/local dimming features make for a significantly sharp/contrasted image. Once in a while, you get a guy that has been working on t.v.s his whole life and starts bashing every little non-perfect thing about a t.v., but if you work, eat food, and watch t.v., this LG is for you! Energy Star, 120Hz, LED backlit, VESA 200×200 mounting, anti-reflective screen, super easy menu system, amazing picture….. come on! Buy one now! – Josh – Fairborn, OH – 18 Jul 09

LG 55LH40 55-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Gloss Black Review


Hi Guys, I know it can be exhausting reading/researching all of the reviews about so many different flats. I started a year ago and was pretty convinced with Samsung but glad I didn’t get any of them (650, 750…series, etc.) because the reviews a year later are not so hot. I was going to buy Walmart’s Visio 55″ 120hz this week for 98 because it looked like a great flat and the reviews weren’t half bad either. I went to Best Buy to get a surround sound (research on customer reviews was minimal for these because the flat was tiring enough, lol). Anyway, I saw the LG 55″ 120hz for around dollars more. The only perk over the Visio was this one had 70k ratio vs. Visio’s 50k. Took it home and with the help of a friend, had the flat up and going an hour or so. Most of my time was invested with centering and installing the support bracket on the wall. I probably could have hung the sucker myself being it is only 70lbs but better to be safe. I hooked up my 5.1 and Blue-ray today. I am not hard to please as I have endured over ten years with an old tv (small tv at that, lol) from 1995 with no surround sound. I really think it’s an awesome flat. I haven’t adjusted one thing and the flat looks absolutely great. You will want a surround system or sound bar, the sound is just good ole tv quality sound. I will probably try some fine tuning when I get around to reading the manuals. Anyhow, for those that are interested, I bought the Sony DAV-HDX285 Home Theatre system and the Samsung BD-P3600 Blu-ray player. I don’t like integrated units because of the possibility of one part going bad. I bought this particular Sony BR because it has the wireless network technology…I am listening to Christmas music right now from [...] as I write this novel, lol. I also use it for my Netflix movies. All of the components mixed together sound just like the movie theater in my living room, of course my living room is close to the size of one, 1200 sq. ft., lol. Anyway, I will report back here if anything goes haywire. One last thought, I didn’t buy any of those very expensive warranty packages. The manufacture is good for one year. I figure if your product can make it one year it will probably do well for you beyond that. Merry Christmas all….Dave

Ignore the 2 star review – Wiley – USA
Forget about the 2 star review, I first purchased a 2500 dollar lcd for my media room, which spends much time as a pc monitor, I bought a 47 inch lg to replace it, it was 1100 dollars, Since then every tv is being replaced with lg units. The operation is good, the picture is every bit as good as the 2500 dollar set that didn’t play well with pc’s The HDMI problems are just as much a part of the technology as any problems with the tv, every link has to be 1.2 hdmi, or you will have problems, even then, hdmi can be tricky, The hdmi technology still needs improvement, Just that simple. Not the fault of the TV. I have many issues with other components with hdmi once in a while. Especially on some of the lame HD cable boxes, which are really brand and model dependent. The LG brabd represents tremendous value. A comment made on another review, claiming LG uses inferior components is false. Yes, lg does produce many other brands that are very inexpensive, and they do use lower quality components, if you bothered to look, the LG uses better power supplies. If you want to throw stones, take a look at all sony kdl series tv’s, then the xbr, huge difference. This set cost’s half of an xbr, and trounces the kdl series, at a lower or equal cost.

great tv – S. Bourgeois – Houston, Texas
we just bought this tv and the color and sound is wonderful. great investment.

No good at all. – K. Mottus – Wyoming, Michigan United States
Purached the tv for the good price at the local retailer. Took it home and set it up. As soon as the picture was up I was not happy. The colors were dull. And there is not a lot what you can do about it. Contrast ratio is bad too. I had a DVd in and that looked afoul. Big chunks of unformed colors. Even the Blue _ray was not clear and HD as it suppose to be. And I dont know what it was, but motion was sometimes hard to watch on tv. Felt weird for the eyes. I do understand, that just a standard tv channels can not look that good in a huge TV, but this was not good at all. Colors and clarity are deeply off.
So if you just want a big tv without quality behind it and you are just willing to go and waste your money on that, then go ahead!
We returned it and got ourselves Sony VE5 Eco. And as picky as I am- I am happy ! Colors and sharpness are like out of the different world!
