The LG 47SL9000 Our View Of It
For starters, this 47 inch liquid crystal display television makes use of high-tech LED backlighting rather than more traditional fluorescent backlighting around the edges of its picture screen. Because it uses LEDs, LG can deliver a 47 inch television that is so thin and seamless one might think that one is getting a TV that is somehow missing something from the casing and the like, but it won"t be.LG has also taken a number of its best technology features and packed them into this particular model. For starters, it"s actually a real high definition TV and not one that claims to be "high-definition ready." This means that the TV has a display resolution that comes in at a full 1080 pixels, which the standard for TVs wishing to call themselves high definition. Ex-cop lamented by a full 3,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio, meaning colors will be extremely vivid across the spectrum. All of this outstanding picture display capability is made possible, as well, by the inclusion of LG"s "TruMotion" technology suite. Anything that"s put up on the display screen will look very fluid and lifelike and one would have a very difficult time in picking out any extra defects because the TV also has a very nice 100 Hz motion engine riding herd over everything. In fact, the television displays true-to-life pictures with extremely little effort.
The television is also well-equipped in a number of other ways. Because it uses LEDs to backlight the display screen, it is extremely energy-efficient, meaning that it will consume up to 40% less energy than comparable fluorescent-lit LCD TVs. Additionally, LG has included its Sensor2 technology that adjusts the picture screen brightness to take into account the viewing environment, which is another feature designed to help it save energy.
Connectivity-wise, the LG takes a backseat to no comparable LCD TV. It features several HDMI input ports as well as a capability that allows it to connect with Bluetooth-equipped devices relatively easily. It also has a very nice surround sound stereo system, though just about every TV will benefit far more from having a good home theater stereo system hooked up to it, so keep that in mind.
The TV comes with several different tuners, including an analog TV tuner and a digital TV tuner as well as a variety of video features. Combine that with what LG calls its "Borderless" TV design, and it"s hard to see how such a sleek and extremely feature-equipped LCD TV would make for a good candidate for most any size viewing area. Excellent picture and stunning thinness all present themselves at even a casual glance.
At present, pricing for the LG 47SL9000 TV range between 1100 and 1600 British pounds. For a TV that offers LED backlighting and 3,000,000 to 1 contrast ratios, it"s easy to become impressed by its relative low price, especially when one considers that comparable TVs will cost several hundred pounds more. It has a 47 inch viewing area and a picture that is true high definition in character. It is very versatile and can connect to many other components, making this TV very likable in almost every aspect.
