LG 47LH30 47-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Gloss Black Review


I purchased this TV recently as an upgrade from my smaller and 3.5 year old LCD TV. This one is definitely a step in the right direction. The deciding factors for my purchase of this TV would be 1. it doesn’t contain true motion technology. (that technology’s appearance has always bothered me. yes, i read that it could turned off with the simple push of a button, but why spend an extra 0 for something that i’m just going to turn off?) 2. The price. I paid 5 which is pretty fantastic for the brand and quality (thus far).

The TV is extremely light weight for the size, which is greatly appreciated. The setup is a breeze. The expert picture setup is a nice option and very helpful. And finally having an Energy Star TV is a huge plus as well.

Now as for the picture, I use DishNetwork, a Bluray player, and an HDDVD player. I do not use HD Satellite, which I will remedy eventually, BUT I will say that the picture while watching TV is “heavenly”. It seems bright, slightly washed out, some colors are very bright.. others, not so much. Yes, i’ve played around with the settings as much as humanly possible (the expert setup is amazingly simple and helpful). My only conclusion is that this must be caused by the Satellite Receiver’s output, but I will say that I did not have this problem on my previous television. On the other hand, when I watch a DVD, Bluray, or HDDVD the picture is well worth it. The 50,000:1 contrast ratio isn’t the highest available, yes, but it is still noticeably darker than my last television. It really adds a nice element when watching a movie. The refresh rate isn’t the best as well, but I don’t notice any blurring during action shots.. and honestly, i’d much rather have the 5ms refresh rate over that “soap opera”/paper cutout technology that seems to be everywhere nowadays. Conclusion, I got exactly what I wanted with the picture of the TV. For the price, definitely worth it.

Sound, I couldn’t tell you. I run all of my sound through an Onkyo 7.1 surround sound system. The TV does include a digital optical output, which is a great plus for those who want to run a clean looking and sounding system. I figure most people will, or eventually will, run this through an exterior source.

Overall, a great buy. Not the thinnest or most attractive TV on the market, but it’s still clean. I dig it. The price for the brand really makes this purchase for me. Hopefully this will be helpful for future buyers!

good tv – M. Burton – Lexington,KY
Loved watching the super bowl on the large screen, picture quality was great. The only time I notice a difference between the 60 hertz and the newer 120 hertz televisions is during basketball games. For the price you cannot go wrong.

GREAT DEALS. BEEN TOLD W0W 1000XS – Jason Marsh – OIL CITY, PA
DON’T PAY MORE. EVERYONE IS JEALOUS BECAUSE THEY PAID UP TO TWICE AS MUCH FOR A SMALLER LCD TV WITH NOT AS GOOD OF A PICTURE. SOUND IS NOT VERY LOUD BUT YOU YOU HAVE A BIG HD TV …… GET A BIG THEATRE SYSTEM….I RECOMMENT THE PANSONIC SC-BT300….JUST LIKE IM AT THE MOVIES ONLY MY WIFE CAN GET DOWN ON ME WITHOUT EVERYONE WATCHING

Was worried about purchase but Happy with outcome. – L. A. Hernandez – San Jose, California
I’ve never ordered anything this large and expensive online before so I was nervous about my purchase. In the end everything turned out perfect, The TV arrived without any scratches, no dead pixels, or other defects. The “Pilot” delivery service sent 2 guys who were nice and set up the TV for me and made sure it worked.

About the TV: No complaints. The TV is everything it says it is in the above description so it’s all I expected it to be.

My only wish is that there was a headphone jack on this TV but there isn’t.

Little warning about what to expect with a 1080p HDTV. Before I did some research I assumed that everything I watched on this TV would be a big improvement over my previous 720p HDTV but I was wrong. The only things that are improvements over a 720p is 1080p content which is pretty much just blu-ray movies. Cable TV, Playstation 3 videogames, Xbox 360 videogames, are all 720p. And content that is native 720p looks best on a 720p tv. So I did notice that cable and video games looked slightly better on my previous 720p tv but Blu-ray movies looked best on this 1080p TV.

Over all I am very satisfied with my purchase and recommend this TV.
