The new LG 47SL9000 has got style and technology in one great package. It is a design masterpiece from Korean electronics manufacturer LG. Even when turned off, this LCD TV will have you gazing in awe on its borderless front fascia. Power this thing up and you will definitely wonder if what you see is real or just an illusion.
It has LED’s lighting the edge of its screen, making the picture astoundingly bright while still maintaining the slim profile. Though it isn’t as thin as a blade, it surely is far from thick, measuring just 4 cm on the sides at most. Hang it on a wall and it literally looks like a picture frame.
More contrast generally means better pictures. With this TV’s whopping 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio, the pictures that you would see here are simply mind-blowing. And if you haven’t already guessed it, the LED lighting also adds up to enliven the picture. It is also fully HD Capable, with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080p. This results in stunning detail and really crystal clear pictures in its expansive 47 inch screen.
With most other LCD TV’s suffering from narrow viewing angles, the LG surely has an advantage. With viewing angle of 178/178 degrees off-center, you can be free to move around while still being able to see perfect pictures.
The LG 47SL9000 LCD TV is equipped with LG’s Trumotion 100Hz motion control. Though the refresh rate is not as fast as 200Hz motion control technologies, it is still very effective in minimizing motion blur. Another feature that minimizes blurring is its 2 ms response time. Motion blur is not noticeable when watching fast moving objects on the screen.
If you already have lots of digital input devices at your disposal, then this TV would not disappoint. It has four HDMI ports for digital signals. It also has a multitude of analog input jacks, like a VGA Port and Component Video inputs. It has also a digital audio output for you to connect it directly to your Home Theater System. For digital media formats, this LCD TV has what it takes to get it played. It has a USB Port, Ethernet connection for streaming media from a media center, and Integrated Bluetooth. With Bluetooth technology, you can view pictures and listen to music from your cell phone, and with a Bluetooth Headset, you could even listen to your movies privately.
The features and the design of the TV might be too good to be true, but there are some parts of it that are a bit flimsy. For one thing, its screen has a glossy finish, which is prone to reflecting strong lighting. It would best not to put this TV where it would result to glare, or you might have a hard time seeing your pictures. Its small size also comes with a price. With a very thin profile, it is impossible to fit better sounding speakers, so the sound quality is compromised.
The LG 47SL9000 really gets a thumbs-up in the energy department, drawing 40% less power compared to traditional LCD TV’s. Combining stylish design with state of the art features, LG has created a masterpiece for your home theater.
