LG 47LH90 Series LCD TV

LCD TV Buying Guide Comments

The 47LH90 LCD contains all of the new features of the LHX series but without the accompanying set top box. This will be a very high entry point piece. It has an LED backlit panel with the new 240Hz effective response rate time. While not an actual response rate, the panel is produced to reduce motion lag with sports programming or gaming. We do not recommend the 240Hz option for normal programming. Read below a caption from the review of the LG 47LGX to get a view of what the up conversion processing will be like in this LED TV.

"Up conversion from 480i and 480p: Processing hardware contained in the LGX did a magnificent job up converting from 480i to native resolution. Images from Braveheart and Tomorrow Never Dies were crisp and background noise is nearly eliminated. Indeed the LGX's upconversion processing prowess is so good that a consumer doesnt even need an upconverting DVD player. Let the TV do the work. I would even be hesitant about purchasing a Blu Ray player. There was, however motion lag present throughout the test material, more notably with the True Motion 120Hz turned off, however we felt it a necessary trade off to keep this feature off and preserve the realism of the films."
