LG 47LX9500 Review: 47” LED LCD HDTV

Up for Review: LG 47LX9500 LED LCD TV. Shattering the 1” barrier once again, this svelte model from LG is all set to woo all the customers in the HDTV market; both for its fashionable exterior as well as its impressive features. While most of the TVs are still battling against this depth problem, this set has managed to integrate most of the important technologies released this year within its thin frame. 3D happens to be universal favorite of all HDTV manufacturers this year which finds prominence in this TV too. Besides that, there is NetCast Entertainment and a very high refresh rate too. It is clear that LG has made this TV for people with an eye on the latest technology but who want a smaller screen either because of a smaller home or a lesser price.

What was earlier considered to be the domain of Plasma TVs now occupies a proud place in the list of features of this LED TV. The contrast ratio is an incredible 10,000,000:1 which is comparable with any good Plasma TV of today. However, the actual performance remains to be seen after it reaches the homes of the consumers. But nevertheless, it can be safely assumed that the pictures will be razor sharp and with the 3D effect, will be ready to jump off the screen. You may have to watch the TV with special glasses which you will get used to with time.

The manufacturers speak about a 480 Hz TruMotion refresh rate in this TV. There is an issue of contention if such a high rate is achievable and able to eliminate blurring and artifacts totally from the images. But again, what we can be sure is that the picture quality will be beyond complaint. With 3D taking the lead, the images will really seem life-like and the action scenes are bound to be a pleasure to watch. And what’s more! The NetCast Entertainment Access will allow you to browse the most popular sites on the Internet and you will get to see the latest videos and hear the music on a high-definition TV.

Wireless connectivity makes sure that you have no unnecessary cables to deal with. Imagine watching the TV on the walls with no cables and being almost pasted to the wall because of its small depth! There will be no need to visit the theater as you have a complete home entertainment system here. There are 4 HDMI for connecting high definition devices like Blu-ray disc players and gaming consoles. There are also 2 USB ports for watching the photos from the digital cameras. And with so many features, LG has not forgotten to comply with the Energy Star requirements for this year. This set is definitely the one to buy only if you can spare the extra dollars.
