LG 47LG70 47-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV

The LG70 series is the ideal HDTVs for home theater enthusiasts. If they prove one thing, it's that nobody demands more from LG products than LG itself.
Customer Review: 47 LG 70 TV
I cannot watch a movie full screen on this TV. The zoom 1 has to be used to enlarge the picture, and that cuts out part of the picture. There is such a waste of the screen when you watch a picture in 16:9 ratio. Also, the clarity of the picture is bad on some channels. I get a motion delay when things happen, like a hesitation or shadow behind it. The colors in some channels shows green/blue lines in certain areas. I have called an LG service dealer, and they thought some may be due the cable providers signal being supplied. I am waiting to see if the digital transistion will make it better. If it does not I will be taking the tv back for warranty work or a replacment. I have been somewhat dissatisfied with the product so far. The model in the store did not show these flaws. I hope these issues can be resolved.
Customer Review: Great bang for the buck
I've had this TV for a little over 6 months and really enjoy it. The picture quality is fantastic in HD and the colors really pop. The black levels could be better and if you have this tv on a shorter stand, the colors tend to wash out when your vantage point is looking down on the tv (standing up). The TV really needs to be at eye level or above to avoid the washing out. Also, you NEED to calibrate this TV. I had it for two months before I found calibration settings online, and WOW what a difference it made. You will get so much more out of this TV if you have it calibrated correctly. I like the matted screen because it reduces glare to almost nonexistent; however you lose a little clarity in dark scenes compared to other LCD's. I previously owned a Samsung 750 and returned it because it had so much glare...but the darks scenes were very clear. I prefer not having the glare with my LG; it's a tradeoff. All in all, i reccomend this TV because the picture quality rivals that of other higher end LCD's, but the price doesn't. Of course there are some drawbacks, but if you are willing accept those drawbacks, you'll save some money and still get a high quality TV.


High-definition TVs (or HDTV) are TV's that have a way of accepting and displaying the newer digital broadcasting, which is at higher resolution standards than SDTV. To be able to get the excellent and superb quality picture that is a trademark with HD TV's it will require a HD signal. Most high definition TV's will be able to capture the HD signal in one of these ways:

High definition TV's are capable of receiving what is call over the air broadcasts with the help of an antenna. The HDTV will pick up the broadcast over the air in HD. The TV will process this information with the help of a HD tuner. The tuner can be built in the TV, which is the case in most of the newer TV's or the tuner can be attached to the HD ready TV externally. The external HD tuner boxes are available through your cable or satellite company or purchased outright at an electronics store.

High definition TV's are capable of receiving HD signals through their cable companies digital service. The cable company supplies a cable box that supplies the HD channels or if you have a Cablecard HDTV the cable company will issue the security card needed to put into the card slot built into the TV. This card allows you access to the channels.
High definition TV's are also capable of receiving HD signals through the local satellite company. In order to access HDTV through satellite most companies will require you to purchase a new satellite box that is set up to receive HD signals. Satellite companies offer it as an upgrade to your regular service.

High definition TV's today have many other options available to them. Some video games and systems can be used with a HD signal. Almost all graphics cards for the computer can be used with a HDTV jack.

One thing to remember when you go out to purchase a new HDTV is that because it has more lines of resolution the HDTV will provide a much superior image than SDTV. Even though you may be shopping for a TV on a budget it is wise to not that the size of the TV has an impact on the picture quality you will receive. You will be able to view a superior quality picture in larger TV's. The smaller the TV the less you may be able to tell the difference in image quality.
