LG is a manufacturer recognized for exceptional quality electronics at a price that's right. Their most recent foray has seen them enter the flat screen LCD television marketplace with some surprising early results.
Their new range of LED TVs,
the SL9000 series, have been wowing consumers; the combination full HD capabilities and hassle free functionality and a long life have been drawing in converts. But how great are these new LED televisions?
LG have produced, what would appear to be, stunning TV's at competitive costs.Their new variety includes the LG 47SL9000, one from the smaller screens, although the specifications are fairly a lot the same across the board.
LG's SL9000 range of HDTV's have a series of LED's located about the edge of the display as opposed towards the conventional LCD format seen on numerous models currently obtainable. Light Emitting Diode has become the new byword in an industry that strives to create ever greater levels of detail and viewing quality. There's no denying that the 47SL9000 and it is larger, 47 " brother create exceptional viewing (the 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio alone produces a truly stunning selection, and depth, breathing new life into HD viewing).
The only downside to the screens on the 47SL9000 - the 1080p HD display has been coated having a glossy layer that has a habit of reflecting lots of light off the surface so you need to plan to put this Television in a room where it won't be in direct sunlight. LG has coined the term 'borderless' to describe the SL9000 series but, even though it is slim compared to many of their previous versions, it is not the thinnest Television obtainable to buyers (3.5 cm at the edges and over 4 cm at the bottom).
When first turned on, the LG 47SL9000 loads up the default factory settings as default which are, if we're brutally honest, not created for optimal viewing. One of the greatest recommendations we can make is to read your instruction manual and configure the Television for your own requirements rather than utilizing the LG's defaults. One from the best modes about the LG 47SL9000 is the Cinema Mode which has been created to supply an all-round quality viewing experience out of the box. We found that this setting wants minor adjustments to get a great picture (some minor tweaks to you backlighting settings will do the trick).
Unfortunately, LG has decided to construct the 47SL9000 Television with Trumotion 100Mhz motion control - the motion control functions found about the SL8000 series is a far superior200 Hz - but the set nevertheless handles fast moving action well.
The build and design quality are up there with the best names in LCD manufacturing and also the 47SL9000 features pretty much all the connectors you'll need to turn it into a decent multimedia hub. Connecting the Television to your compatible games consoles or Blu-Ray device easy and the Television has assistance for older devices like VCR's and SD products.
Sadly, there's no SD card reader because LG have decided this television only wants a USB port. No big deal as the USB socket lets you attach a good range of multimedia products (AVC HD, SD and HD DivX). If that's not enough, the SL9000 models also benefit from LG's support for DNLA compatible products which let you to connect to streaming content via the Ethernet port.
The SL9000's remote commander is both simple to use and benefit from a backlit panel that makes it simple to see what you're doing when utilized in a dark room.
The LG 47SL9000's audio capabilities could do with a boost. It's not that LG have scrimped on features; far from it. The culprit here is the super model-like body which, because it's being only 2.9 cm thick, leaves no space for decent speakers! The resulting audio is under par in depth of sound but this is unlikely to be a issue for Tv enthusiasts with plans to connect the 47SL9000 up to their surround sound system.
