LG 47LH30 47" LCD HDTV 47-inch 60Hz 1080p LCD HD Television

I replaced another brand with this set. The last brand had issues working with my pc. It was very fussy about settings for the display. With this set, everything is smooth. I was told LG's are well suited for use with pc's. I was hesitant, since this set was quite less expensive than the one it replaced. Well, the picture is just as good, and it certainly is more pc friendly. Can't comment on the sound. I don't listen to the TV speakers. 6 months and glitch free. It also has analog out,
which is a nice addition to the digital out. I like the remotes uncrowded layout. The power switch on the front of the TV is nice. You wouldn't even realize it was there, and the power on glow is very dim, never drawing attention. Very pleased with my purchase.

I purchased this TV after my long time RCA 32" tired out. Initially, I was going to purchase a different LG 50" model, but after viewing the picture for some time, I realized that paying the $200 extra was worth every dime.

Firstly, set up is a breeze! Secondly, the picture and clarity is amazing! I love this tv, and I know that you will love it, too!

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.

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

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.

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 $200 for something that i'm just going to turn off?) 2. The price. I paid $775 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!

The LG - 47 in TV was a great deal LG makes the major parts for #1 brand tv,s . I love my set picture is better than sets costing $1,500 and more. Its the best $ spent. Sound was ok buy a theater with it, i bought the LG system for $225. extremely low destortion sound. Amazing TV picture crisp and clean. Go ahead buy the LG you will be happy. Im in love with my LG. The downer is remote instructions are unclear and navigation with it is hard to set up, take your time and guess a little. Best set i have ever bought. i give it 5 stars.

This was my first major online electronic purchase, initially I was sceptical, but after taking the leap, I am quite pleased with the unit and the delivery was on time.
I am now a "fan" of Amazon.

I'm generally happy with the TV for the price I paid. It's a big, entry level 1080p model so I wan't expecting too much. The limited inputs don't matter to me since I run through an AVR first and the casual observer probably won't care about my major gripe (see below).

Pros:
Great price for a 47" 1080p
Advanced color correction software
Esthetically pleasing

1 BIG Con:
The panel lottery! There is a big gap in the quality you can expect out of the picture depending on the panel you end up getting (you can check which panel you have by shining a flashlight through the grill on the back). I ended up with a Chi Mei panel (CMO) which is one of the cheapest panels you can put into a TV. What kills me is that increasingly, manufacturers are using 1 set of components for the 1st run off the line, then switching to cheaper components (without changing the model number) after cNet, Amazon and the blogosphere at large sing the praises of the first run. Sony was sued in a class action for this garbage.

From what I've gathered around the internet, no less than 3 panels have been used in this model and it DOES make a difference.

I did a true side by side with an "off-brand" 3 year old 720p Olevia (which this was replacing).... Brighthouse HD cable-box into both using HDMI, factory defaults. Anecdotally, I can say that the Olevia had much more detail in the black levels. I thought it was impossible, so I tweaked the LG as much as I could using different modes/advanced options and I could not get the same level of detail in the dark areas as the Olevia. Blacks were either gray and blocky or completely black.... no in between.

My jaw dropped when I watched the ending credits of a show with extremely fast horizontally scrolling credits (white sans-serif text on a black background). On the Olevia I could read every word but on the LG, it was a looooong blur. I could only read the words when I forced my eye to track the words as they flew by and even that was a challenge. The Olevia had originally listed its response time as 8ms (did I mention 3 years ago?!?!?), while the box this thing came in said 5ms. NO WAY. Maybe when the model was orginally released (with top-shelf components), and filed with the FCC and reviewed everywhere online... but there is no doubt in my mind that the "off-brand" 3 year old 720p OLEVIA handles motion better than this brand new LG.

Granted I'm not using scientific methods or precision measuring equipment. This is just how I'm seeing it. I really wanted to love this TV but right now I think in order to get what's on the box/in the specs, you have to buy the newest model.

I understand that there are times when a manufacturer has to change component suppliers, but I feel the industry as a whole is effectively baiting and switching to increase their bottom line. Lesson learned.

I really like this tv. There is not a whole lot to say everything is great and the sound quality is good. I wish it had audio out but otherwise it makes even bad videos look pretty darn decent. The price for this was almost a steal when you compare it to others of this size and quality so if you are thinking of getting a good television at a great price this is it.

Nothing to say against this TV. Looks great, very easy to set up. Plenty of inputs and a great remote.

I bought this item for my son who reports it is a top rate product.

The TV came from 6th Ave electronics, who were quick and prompt to ship it out. I received it in 4 business days, which I thought was very quick for the regular ground mail, and even more impressive when I saw what kind of business they used to ship the free shipping. I'll explain that below. The TV came in perfect shape, no scratches, it worked just fine. The picture is beautiful, the sound is good enough for me. I mainly only use it for gaming and the computer. Great TV for less than $800.

The shipping was semi strange. It was a no named company, but they called me the day they were going to bring it to the house and made sure I was going to be home. Then the truck driver called when he was on the way to my house, which all of this is extremely good so I wasn't waiting around guessing what day it was going to show up on, but I expected to see some sort of shipping truck, maybe even a white storage truck, but it was a guy in a regular pickup truck. Nothing was broke and I got my TV, but just expect this when you order free shipping from 6th Ave.

Other than that great purchase.

This set is extremely easy to use, has all the right parts and truly looks great when fired up.
The sound is a little lacking, but thats only because I am still running stock sound. Other than that, I am extremely happy with this purchase and would buy another LG in a heartbeat.

This is a great tv!!! I shopped for over 3 months both on the internet and in stores to make sure I was getting the best for my money before I made my purchase. I am very glad that I ultimatley chose this LG 47LH30. The HD looks amazing on this tv and the price is fair for an upper echelon brand like LG. If you are in the market for a new HD tv, I really think you should have a look at this one because it is 5 star quality all around. Be confident when purchasing this tv, it's worth every dime.

I consider myself an information hound. I am the type of person who researches model numbers and such before buying just about anything. The first thing that caught my eye about this LG LCD was admittedly the price. $750 for a 47inch lcd, are you for real? Then I was concerned that this was an older model with less features or substandard specs for this price. However after reading several reviews and debating the pros and cons we decided to go ahead with the purchase and I will say am very pleasantly surprised with the product.

First off I will say that Amazons shipping service was very quick and timely. The shipper gave us a contact number and communicated very well during shipping. The tv was delivered on time as promised and in superb condition with nare a scratch on the box.

The tv itself is a snap to set up, slide it out the box, put the base stand in it, tighten 4 screws and behold, you are done. 3 hdmi inputs were perfect for my cable, dvd and Wii and other connections are available as well. One thing i will say, ****if you are hooking this tv up to a home theater system, PLEASE make sure to purchase an optical audio cable, there are NO "AUDIO OUT" jacks on this tv. I bought one also here on Amazon for about 5 bucks and it sounds AMAZING with our Kenwood HT system. Otherwise you'd have to connect your audio through your dvd player and wont be able to watch regular "tv" in surround sound.

The television itself has many many options with regard to adjusting the picture and I suggest taking the time to do so. I spent maybe 30 minutes doing this and the time was well worth it. My dvds look flawless, my HD cable channels are clean and my nintendo wii is a heck of a draw with that big beautiful 47 inch screen.

The set does seem to attract dust rather easily and does come with a cloth for cleaning. The stand seems a bit wobbly and my wife was concerned with our little ones running back and forth in front the tv but so far everything seems to be just fine.

To sum it up, this is a great great deal for the price. No you are not getting top of the line electronics or materials, but LG has built a reputation on making good looking and well sounding televisions and this one is no exception. Well worth the money and a beautiful product that me and my family are enjoying to the absolute fullest.

This is the first HDTV I have ever purchased. It certainly won't be the last. I thought I would have to buy a new stereo system to go with it, but the speakers are incredible. The picture is awesome, as well. Shipped quickly, and was easy to set up. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't "agree" with some of the settings on my cable box. Think it's more the fault of the cable box, and I still get all of my HD channels on the settings that do work.
