Just received the tv. a quick note be very specific in looking for a wall mount for this tv, the horz space needs to be 800mm (about 32”) and a Bell’O 8315DS will not work!! Returns for the mount must be thru the manufacturer and it looks like it will be a real chore to do so as all I’m getting is a phone directory when I call. Tiger has usually given me great service but they need to incorporate more info on spec’s in this respect.

TV spec sound great, however this TV performance is pretty bad. The image look distorted, the were shadows left behind and dot all over the screen when the images change on the screen. On the plus side it does have some good features. But for my money I preferred performance instead of lots of features the look pretty bad on the screen.

THIS IS AN AMAZING LCD/TV. I have had it for over two months now and my family as well as my neighbors cannot get over the clarity that this unit offers. We are viewing only the HD channels that the cable company provides and some of the programs are unbelievable, (PBS nature programs). Very satisfied with my purchase. Thanks

Great Product: I am new to LCD TVs and did my research prior to buying this one. A public show in the World Financial Center in Manhattan NY, where LG had exposed its products, convinced me that this was the right product for me. The resolution is very good, the view angle is outstanding; response time of 5ms is great for fast moving pictures. Nothing bad to say at this time (I had only had it for 3 weeks).

Really to early to tell how good this TV is at this point, just hooked it up today. I am witing this review to let others know the recommended VuePoint large tilt mount for 30-52” TV’s does not work with this 47” TV. The mounting points for the recommend mount are 400mm vertical and 400mm horizontial. This TV has a 800mm horizontial spacing so the recommended mount will not work.

All of my friends are fans of DLP. When considering bang for the buck many told me that DLP is the way to go . I won’t say that DLP’s are bad but will say that none of the models I’ve seen have what I consider to have a decent viewing angle. You have to have the TV nearly at eye level and not be too far out from center or you’ll notice what I consider to be a drastic reduction in picture quality. It’s the same with many LCD models. We all have our bottom line and viewing angle happens to be mine. I’ve studied, shopped around (online & at stores), and compared deals for the past 2 months. This unit had everything I was looking for in this price range. I wanted a TV that offered a great picture and provides a great picture for everyone in the room no matter where they are seated and within my price range. I found it in this TV. Viewing angle is very much exagerated in a lot of the specs listed by manufacturers (don’t be fooled) but this TV truly delivers. I’m one happy customer!

This TV replaces a 2 year old Olevia 37”. The LG 47” was an amazing value. Local prices were at least $600 more and Tiger had free shipping on the TV. 3 HDMI and component connections are plenty for everything I can think of hooking up to this set. The inteli-eye feature adjusts the contrast to fit the lighting of the room and the remote has seperate brightness adjust buttons. This is all good because this TV has a great, bright image! Image quality is amazing. I compared dozens of TVs for quality and this TV was the winner for features and image quality. HD cable is flawless as is progressive scan DVD. Blu-ray is unbelievable. I’ve moved my XBox 360 to this unit and can’t beleive the image.

Very good TV with very good features

I’ve had this TV for a couple weeks now, so although I cannot comment on the reliability of this TV, I can comment on its performance.

When I was shopping for an HDTV, this was the least expensive HDTV that I could find in the 45"-49" size that would accept 1080p over VGA and component inputs (not common) in addition to HDMI. This included plasma TVs.

Overall, the TV is very good in the $1500 price range. It has very good off-angle viewing for an LCD (something LCDs aren’t good at). The black levels are average for an LCD, which most people won’t have a problem with. With sports, I find that the TV does a very good job with fast motion. The only time I notice blurring or pixelation is when a logo/graphic moves across the screen (Fox does this periodically during football games when doing instant replays).

I have not watched any HD-DVD or Blu-Ray movies yet, so I can’t comment on how 1080p looks, but the picture quality with TV programming (720p or 1080i) is excellent. When watching standard def TV (480i), I find that the TV does a good job with scaling.

For all you "green" people, you will like the fact that this TV is Energy Star compliant.

Other comments:

Remote/controls - The remote allows you to choose which input to display. This may not sound like much, but some TVs force you to go through each input in order if you want to change it. With this TV, you simply press the Input button, then use the arrow buttons to highlight which input to select. There is also a set of buttons (on/off, volume, channel, etc.) on the right-hand side of the TV. They aren’t very noticeable, so they won’t detract from the design of the TV, but are handy if you need them.

Speakers - I find that the built-in speakers are average. If you need to turn up the volume (above 60), I find that the speakers don’t get enough power, so you get some vibrating noise. This isn’t a big deal if you plan on using a receiver and external speakers.

Stand - The stand that comes mounted on the TV is very basic. It doesn’t allow you to swivel, so turning the TV involves turning the stand as well.

Color settings - The TV comes with four preset video settings, plus two custom ones that you can set. The default setting (Dynamic) is set too high and makes all programs look horrible (washed out and jaggy). I recommend using the following settings (which I found on AVSForum):

Contrast 85
Brightness 40
Color 60
Tint 0
Sharpness 37
Backlight 17
Black level high (only available if using HDMI)

cinime 3.2 mode - off
aspect 16.9
xd - manual
xd contrast - off
xd color - off
xd noise - on
color temp - user (all are set on 0)

With these settings, the picture looks significantly better across all types of programming. I would recommend people use these settings as a starting point, then make their own adjustments. The default setting is too far off to watch any TV or movies (regardless of the source resolution).

Another nice feature is each input has its own distinct video setting. That means that the video settings for the Component 1 input can be set differently from the HDMI 1 input. This is nice because you may find that you like different settings depending on your video source. For example, I like using the Dynamic for my Xbox 360, but for cable, I use the above settings.

Documentation - The TV comes with a printed booklet, which is more like a "quick start guide". It also comes with a CD which contains the PDF versions of the owner’s manual. Despite it being 113 pages long, it doesn’t do a very good job describing the different settings that you can change. It simply lists the different options.

Packaging - LG does an excellent job packaging this TV. It’s in a normal rectangular cardboard box (like most HDTVs). The difference, however, is that you can take the sides and top off when unpacking the TV… kind of like taking the cover off a dessert tray. This makes removing the TV from the box a one-person job. Although relatively light (about 83 lbs with the stand; 70 lbs without), I still recommend having another person when lifting the TV.

Connections - 1080p is supported over VGA, HDMI and component. The main connections are located on the back of the TV, which you then can route the cables downward. There are also a set of inputs on the left-hand side of the TV (USB - for photos or MP3s, S-video, composite).

Firmware - Many TVs offer the ability to upgrade the firmware simply by downloading the update from the manufacturer’s website onto a USB memory stick. Unfortunately, I have no idea if this TV offers the same functionality. The manual doesn’t state anything, and I wasn’t able to find any information on LG’s website. My guess is that it doesn’t support this, but I have not verified this with LG.

Tuner - This TV has a built-in ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuner, so if you want to, you can simply connect an external antenna (e.g. "rabbit ears") to get over-the-air (OTA) digital signals (including HD). I tested this functionality, and it comes in very well. The downside with OTA signals is that if the signal isn’t strong enough, you will notice pixelation or freezing. This is normal with digital programming, because with digital… you’re either receiving the signal or not.
