I bought this TV on clearance because the price was right, and it seemed to have the best picture quality of the TVs that were discounted. I am very happy with it. It was easy to set up. There are tons of ports, so we could get rid of the AV switchbox. It practically programs itself. The picture quality is still great. No complaints at all.
What's great about it: Very easy to set up, price was great, picture quality is top notch
What's not so great: Haven't found anything yet
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great TV at a great value price. We have a well lit living room and were told it might not be best to buy an LCD, but we aren't having any problems what so ever seeing the picture clearly.
What's great about it: This is a great TV that has a clear picture and no problems in a well lit room.

The picture is crisp and clear, but the picture is boxed most of the time on shows and movies. This puts a black line all around the picture and doesn't really give you the full 47" that you pay for. The menu is a little harder to navigate than other tv's I have used or just doesn't allow you as many options. Overall good tv and great price.
What's great about it: good picture and sound
What's not so great: Black box around movies and shows

the price was great although it's a discontinued model. the LG 47" may be a little big for our family room but we will suffer through it. It would be better to have a owners manual come with the tv rather than on line.
What's great about it: good price
What's not so great: easily collects dust, shiney frame distracting

I picked this TV up on clearance for $799 and compared with other TV's for that price this is one steal. Granted it is only 60Hz however, for a second flat screen for the bedroom it is a killer deal.
What's great about it: Clear, multiple inputs, great price
What's not so great: Only 60Hz

I love the tv, after I added the HDMI cables the picture was alot better. I do not have HD TV channels and the tv still looks as if I do to me. sometimes a brief min it looks like you can see small digital imigas in peoples faces. that has only happened once and im sure its because its not HD channels

I replaced my 50" projection tv w/this LG 47" tv. In addition to the LG being a HD tv, the screen on this 47" tv is larger than the screen on the 50" tv I had. This LG 47" tv looks beautiful and the picture quality is also beautiful. The sound quality is not the best, but this is something a home theater can counterbalance. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase, and I would highly recommend this tv to friends.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, beautiful picture, and excellent price
What's not so great: Nothing.

I bought this TV this weekend after driving all over the metroplex to pick it, but so far I love this TV. The picture is good as well as the sound, there are a lot of people writing reviews complaining about the sound not being that great. I mean what do you expect, you are not going to get deep bass as if you had your own surround sound system hooked up to it. Only thing I do not like is that you dont have any audio outputs, but overall this TV was a great buy and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Audio outputs

Wow! What an amazing TV! Ordered this on BestBuy.com for $799 and picked up in store. The ease of ordering on-line and picking up at the store was wonderful. Zero stress. Picture is so clear and just stunning. The calibration is very easy on this TV using the picture wizard. The sound is the only thing negative but you buy a TV for the amazing picture... will need to buy a home theater system to make up for the sound. Haven't found anything else negative about this TV. I spent about a month researching TV's.. brands... price... features and landed on this TV. Bought a SONY Blu-ray player to go with it b/c it was on sale for $149 and was cheaper than the LG Blu-ray. The two go together perfectly. Couldn't have bought a better TV.. if you are looking for a great TV without the HUGE price tag.. .this TV is for you!
What's great about it: Picture is clear, colorful and stunning
What's not so great: Sound not so great

I bought this as an upgrade for my 42" 720p Toshiba Regza lcd that i bought 3 years ago.When I unpacked,the first thing that impressed me was the heavy swivel base.My former tv had a cheap plastic stand that resembled a boomerang.Second ,when put together ,this was a very good looking TV.Third,the sound was much improved over the Toshiba.I had to crank the volume way up before but not now.I can understand the speech more clearly.And ,in its class ,the picture won hands down.I compared this with a 120hz tv in its price class and it had a better picture.And there are numerous tweaks for the picture.So it's just a great value for the money.
What's great about it: Good Quality Great Price
What's not so great: Nothing so far

We found this for a reat price at another retailer and purchased it at Best buy since they would match the price. When we saw the TV in person we were immediately impressed by the picture quatlity - especially for the price. It has plenty of connections for all of our game systems and HD receiver. So far I have not seen anything on this TV that I was unhappy with. Love it!

The picture quality is amazing and i've never seen a flat pannel with SOOOO many settings to tweak for the perfect picture. They even have a picture wizard that gives you a test image for picture adjustment. If you checkout CNET.com, you can read their official review and check out their recommended optimization settings for picture.
For those who are unhappy with the sound, your are smoking something crazy. If you play around with the sound settings and set it to tru surround, the TV sounds great. Obviously the tv wont sound like a 1000watt system, but it sounds great when compared to other flat panels.
I got this TV for $200 less in store, which is weird because you'd think it would be cheaper online... plus I qualified for 36months no interest, which was icing on the cake, considering you usually have to spend over $1000 for that type of financing.
What's great about it: picture adjustment, sound, size, price
What's not so great: could use an extra composite input, hdmi input and an svideo
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had been looking for a very long time for a TV at the right price, and was excited to receive this one as a gift! This thing is "HUGE", and looks awesome in my living room. At first I was less than satisfied with the picture, and a very annoying horizontal white line scrolling the screen on many channels; until I realized after doing some research, that the problem was CABLE, and the fact that my provider here supplies HD service using a Component connection. So the very nice man at Best Buy, who was more than familiar with my issue sold me a HDMI cable, and this solved the problem, and the picture is great, but I still was told that for MAXIMUM QUALITY, this TV needs to be connected with Satellite...at least in my area!!
What's great about it: EVERYTHING!
What's not so great: Can't think of anything!

I bought an LG 37in for my wife on her Birthday. I was so taken with the picture that I checked out the LG 47in. and bought it for the Living room. I now have 2 LG's and couldn't be happier. By the way, I paid $699.00 for this model. Bestbuy matched a competitors price. Not to shabby.

It's a good hdtv. I haven't had a problem with the normal sound like others have. There are a lot of sound adjustments in the audio options that can be modified. I haven't even turned my tv up over half way and it has plenty of sound for me.
I bought this on black friday. after taxes it was almost 1000 exactly. you can't beat this tv for the price.
What's great about it: great picture, great price
What's not so great: a little tricky for surround sound

Picked this up Black Friday 2009 for $850 also puchased the 4 yr in home warranty with it for $150 so my black friday deal $1000 for this TV with a 4 year in home warranty! What a STEAL. We've watched some Blu Ray movies on it and played a few PS 3 games and put it through The Thanksgiving weekend football marathon and the deal I received on this TV and the performance is unmatched. The sound on it is pathetic at best, but I have it hooked to a surround sound system so it is a non-issue for my needs
What's great about it: Picture, Looks great with PS 3 and Blu Ray
What's not so great: Sound is terrible

Bought this LCD about a year ago now and am 95% satisfied with it. It does anything and everything for me. Blu-Ray looks stunning and video games and computer look amazing. You can pretty much do anything you want on it. Only downside to this television is that the sound on it is terrible. To watch a movie most people like it to be pretty loud to get more of the affect. With this tv I put it at 70 just when I'm watching football with friends over. It doesn't get distorted on the sound when its that loud its just that it isn't the clearest sound and definitely not the loudest. To get rid of the problem I would suggest just to purchase a home theater system with it, so you don't have to deal with the sound from the tv.
What's great about it: Has Muli-Function Capabilites and the Picture is Amazing!
What's not so great: Sound is terrible and it only has 3 hdmi in
I would recommend this to a friend!
