Fantastic TV, but turn off the Trumotion
Beautiful, crystal clear, bright, high-contrast image. Nice price.
I've seen people complain about strange blurring effects or unusual
motion. That's the Trumotion technology--turn it off! My brother is an
installer and he's heard of people returning LH40's because of this
problem. Turn off Trumotion and the picture returns to normal.
The Trumotion defect is easiest to spot in a scene with rough
camera movements. I first noticed it in a scene inside a helicopter
where the camera was kind of jumping around to show how rough the ride
was. Instead of showing the correct scene, Trumotion, even on low,
smoothed out the ride and it looked like the actors were just floating
around the scene in a weird way. I turned off Trumotion and everything
looked great.
I guess Trumotion could have its uses, but it should be off by default.
This TV also bleeds some backlighting out the back of the TV. In a
dark room, when the scene goes dark, you may suddenly realize that the
wall behind the TV is lit up. It's a little distracting because of
that, but most of the time I never notice it.
All the connectors are back-facing which makes it a little bit harder to wall-mount.
Despite these issues it's a beautiful TV. Trumotion is easily turned off.
LG 47" LCD, 47LH40, A++
First thing I want to say here is that I spent 2
weeks in and out of different electronics stores, comparing
technologies and brands and features to narrow down the best HDTV's in
the 46-47" range. Of coarse the Sony Bravia was the #1, but it is over
$[...].
This TV came in on my #1, for it's 120Hz "TrueMotion" picture, and true 1080p quality. So I bought it.
For three weeks now I have had the pleasure of owning this HDTV, and let me make some things straight about other reviews.
1. The TrueMotion 120Hz feature is a little strange at first. What
it does, is it puts a skinny Blur around the outline of an object in
motion, causing that object to look LIFELIKE when it moves. This
applies to people walking, trees swaying, and footballs flying. After
about two days of watching, you may get used to it. I got used to it,
and LOVE IT. It is now weird for me to watch other TV's without this.
However, if you do not get used to it, you can turn off the TrueMotion
feature and just have a 120Hz refresh rate.
2. The lip-sync. The LG TV is as smart as they come. It will take
about 4 hours of TV time for it to calibrate itself to your cable-box
or satellite-receiver. Also, depending on your HDMI cable usage, the
problem can be solved by going on Amazon.com and buying a $[...]
"Digital Audio Cable" and using that for your TV sound rather than the
HDMI cord. Again though, easy fix once you get to know your TV.
3. The 47LH40 has smart picture capability. Which kicks Butt. My TV
Room has two great big windows directly across from this TV. By
enabling the Smart Picture feature ON, it will sense the light in your
room, and adjust its backlight accordingly. I do NOT get any glare, and
the picture is always razor sharp!
4. Little-known fact, is that LG makes the TV tuners for Samsung,
Sony, Sharp, and Toshiba. So naturally, they will put the best
technologies in their own TVs, making it one more reason to love LG.
5. It has 4 HDMI inputs! Which means virtually every component you
want to connect (PS3, XBox, DVD player, Blueray, etc...) can connect
with the best HD picture.
6. The 80,000 : 1 contrast ratio is deeper blacks for dark-shows
and movies. This is truly noticeable. I replaced my 4 year old Samsung
32" HDTV with this one, and can not believe how much this actually can
be noticed once you have another TV to compare it to. My old one had
60,000:1, and deep-blacks would appear "pixelated"... but any scene,
day or night, a lot or a little detail, looks just as good (or better)
than it would in person!
Now that I have given you a few reasons to consider this TV, I just
want to say that in the past 3 weeks of me owning this, it has been
nothing but excellent. My TV shows have never looked more realistic...
Football and (preseason) Hockey make you feel like you are in the
stands! And Video Games (PS3 specifically) make you feel part of the
game. It is truly a great TV, at a great price, and I highly recommend
it. Just have patience, if your lip-sync is off for the first two days,
give it time to adjust, or watch the owners-CDROM they give you, you'll
find out how to fix that. Everyone's cable input is different so the
Tuner needs time to adjust itself.
Hope this helped!
Great Deal, Amazing picutre. Buy it!
Just purchased this TV two days ago from a local
home entertainment store. Got it for $1050, a steal! Since Best Buy had
it for 1079, I got the price down a little more.
I did lots of research and read tons of reviews. I was considering
the Sony V5100 series and all of the Samsungs 650 series and up. This
beats both of them. Do not listen to bad reviews about LG, none of them
apply to this tv or any of LG's newer TVs, and don't compare pictures
between this and other TV brands at best buy or FRYs because TV
calibration can be way off at those big chain stores.
I compared side by side at home entertainment stores with the Sony
(way overpriced) and the Samsung 630B and 650B. The Sony is nothing
special looking on the outside and the picture doesn't blow you away.
The Samsung, you lose so much detail in the color because the screens
are way too bright. I saw side by side the Samsung's reds were so pink
and its greens so bright and fake, a red flower on the LG was dark and
beautiful and you could see all of its fine lines and folds...however
on the Samsung it was pink and the lines and folds faded because you
lost that detail. Samsung just looks to artificial and bright for me
and I don't like that. Also the LG isn't a glossy screen so you never
have to worry about light reflecting from the screen. The blacks are
very nice as well, I mean it isn't an LED or plasma but the average
consumer cannot tell that much anymore with LCDs becoming so good.
The LG was recommended by two very good home entertainment stores
over the sony and the Samsung. It is just such a good deal and I liked
the picture more, truer colors, very deep blacks and a classy look on
the outside. Not to forget the speakers are much much better than the
Samsungs, and the LG has the intelligent sensor which detects light in
your room and adjusts the panel for how bright or dark you room is, to
make picture calibration automatic and more accurate for the setting.
It is a truly amazing TV for the money, I mean if you want to
overspend for a SONY go ahead and if you want the top, top of the line,
this obviously isn't your set but it is a damn good TV. I mean keep it
for 4 or 5 years and then the next big thing LED or OLED will be out,
so whats the point in spending $2K+ today when in a few years your TV
will be old news.
Go for the bargain and just get this TV, its an incredible set.
