LG 47LG60 Overview

 

Description: 47" HD LCD 1980 X 1366 Resolution

INTRODUCTION to LG 47LGX

The LG 47LG60 47" LCD was introduced in the fall of 2008 and runs until the fall of 2009. The LCD has some of the "scarlet" design accents – red trim visible on sides, top and around the stand of the TV. It is very thin at only 2.7" in depth and looks impressive and expensive on its accompanying table stand with the red accents giving a touch of modern class. Processing speed on this unit is up to 120Hz but see our comments below regarding this new feature. It has 1080p resolution and all of the new LG technologies including processing enhancements. It contains 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 4 HDMI inputs (3 in back, 1 on side).

Up conversion from 480i and 480p: Processing hardware contained in the LG60 did a magnificent job up converting from 480i to native resolution. Images from Seabiscuit and Dave Matthews in Concert DVD appeared crisp and background noise is eliminated.

LG 47LG60 Review
Shadow and contrast are clearly shown off in this race track scene from Seabiscuit. Note the subtle coloration in the hats which contrasts with the pop of the red lips of the ladies.

The 47LG60 tested very well in conversion and background noise. Color rendition with HD material was crisp and we enjoyed pop this TV gives to newer content. More impressive was our Diagonal Filter Testing which showed no "jaggies" in horizontal moving bars even near the axis – a near perfect and best of class result (with True Motion feature On).

Price Considerations: At $3300 this is a moderately pricey 47" LCD competing with the new Sony Sharp and Samsung models. It has some nice features – the 2.7" depth and lots of effort put into the design elements.
