Fantastic
We received this LG last week and couldn't be happier. My husband set it up himself and had it programmed and ready to go in a short time. The picture is great and we are extremely pleased with the sound. We looked at many LCD's before making this purchase and I know we made the right choice. The price, unbelievable. No matter which angle you look at the screen, the picture is clear and sharp. It doesn't matter if the room is dark or well lit, great picture!!!

Excellent LCD
I recently purchased this TV from Fry's Electronics for about $1400.00 with tax. I have been waiting (for almost a year) for the Samsung 650 to drop below $2000 but finally decided to go with this LG. I could not believe the price of this television given it is 1080p and 120 hz. So far, I could not have made a better purchase. The sound is great and the picture is absolutely wonderful. I've been watching movies on Blu-ray and playing games on my Playstation 3. My jaw drops every time. The pictur...

Outstanding TV
I reviewed many, many LCDs before purchasing this unit. I am a long time Sony fan but after looking at the various offerings in this size/class and comparing them to the LG there was one major thing that stood out, there was NO glare at all. I have this TV in a room where there tends to be a lot of glare and the Sony I had in the room was terrible with reflections. I went into a local store to see the 47LG70 and could not believe how well it dealt with glare from the lights in the store. Tha...

Very good for the price. Durability?
Had to return it within a week because of a 1/2 inch blue dot that had formed in the middle of the screen. Got the second one home and the faux chrome decorative piping at the bottom of the frame peeled right off when I (carefully) removed the protective plastic. The picture is wonderful for most applications; it has excellent color and deep, rich blacks. The standard audio and the surround-sound simulation are both very good. I'm not entirely sold on the 120Hz feature, though. Couldn't real...

Great All Around TV
I bought this TV about a week ago and I am very pleased with it's performance. I have Directv with the DVR and HD package, and it's the best relationship ever! Rich colors, and deep blacks are wonderful, they "pop" at you, almost like 3D! The TV is not heavy at all, easy to set up, nice clean sound, feather touch power button, piano glossy black color, 4 HDMI, and the best picture ever. To take advantage of the 1080P, I plugged in my PS3, and the pictures are amazing, deep blacks, and vibran...

Wonderful picture, excellent TV
First of all, I think I underestimated the size of this TV. When the Amazon delivery guy showed up, my jaw dropped at how big the 47 inch looked in our master bedroom. That said this TV has some great features, with some calibration we were able to get some of our 720P Apple TV content to look exceptionally well. One caveat is that the picture with all the bells and whistles is almost TOO good when playing non HD content, so that sometimes shows look almost hyper real and more fake. We found th...

Full review of 47lg70 -4.5 stars-
This is for SD content at a 16x9 ratio on this model as there is still so little true HD content available (over-the-air is still <10% 16x9). DVDs upconverted to 1080i look incredible, with no noticeable artifacts and enabling settings/processing features don't detract from picture quality. Over the air "HD" digital channels are not quite as good, but clear. SD DirecTV varies but you get a slightly soft picture or else "shimmer" artifacts around the edges of moving things, most notable on ...

Great bang for buck
Picked this set up at Frys last week, I was weighting it against the new Vizio 47 inch 120Hz. Read that the Vizios 120Hz mode left something to desire. Got this LG for $1399 which is an incredible deal for this TV, actually same as the Vizio. 120Hz is great for viewing broadcast, when watching DVD it makes the picture funky. Overall picture quality is great, sound is also very good. Love the swivel stand and the sleek design. The USB in is a great little feature, just plug your usb drive or came...

Good deal for the price
Good deal for the price. I bought this instead of the Samsung 550. The only problem is the remote - Consumer reports rated it down - I wasn't all that concerned, but I tried to program it for my Samsung DVD/Surround Sound system and it wouldn't work. I e-mailed LG and they said they wouldn't guarantee compatibility with other components - which is fine - but I thought Samsung was a well known brand enough for it to be compatible.

Impressive
I am not new to HD LCD's. This one is brighter and has more clarity than I ever expected. It appears to be in 3D most of the time. People and objects appear to jump out at you. I believe this is due to the rich colors/vibrant colors and deep blacks. Also, there's absolutely no glare. I am not totally confidence that the 120Hz feature really makes a big difference. I'll give it some credit though - it's 25-30% better than without the feature. You will not notice this unless you watch motion mov...
