LG 47LH90 47-Inch 1080p 240Hz LED Backlit LCD HDTV, Glossy Black/Infused Blue
If you’re a video purist, you might be put off by the Toshiba’s few technical shortcomings. But if you’re looking for a great LCD set for a price that, while not cheap, is more affordable than most of the competition, this might just be a winner for you. It’s one of the best-looking sets we’ve reviewed, and possibly the best ever from Toshiba. Highly recommended. Read the full review at HomeTheaterMag.com.
This TV was on my short list as soon as it was announced. It’s a beautiful glossy black TV, with a subtle infused blue around the edges. The blue is only really visible in certain light, otherwise it just looks glossy black, but the TV looks beautiful either way. I don’t care much for the “mole” that sticks down on the bottom left of the TV as I’m a fan of symmetry, however this is still a gorgeous TV.
The LH90 series is LG’s flagship LCD this year featuring backlit “local dimming” LED’s, and in my IMO it’s one of the best buys on the market. Local Dimming allows for deeper blacks, that rival good plasmas, and easily beat normal non LED LCD’s. The picture on the this TV is fantastic. Beginning last year and continuing this year, LG offers more picture/color adjustments then any other manufacturer. Colors are great out of the box, and your video modes include Standard, Natural, THX Cinema, Sport, Game or Vivid. In addition there are two Expert modes where you can create and save the exact picture you want. Also there is an intelligent sensor mode that automatically adjusts the picture for you based on the ambient light in the room. The OSD menus are color and icon driven and very easy to use. They are much better then what is offered by most other manufacturers. The OSD menus and pictures adjustments is one area where LG trumps all other manufacturers. I would rate Samsung second in this regard.
