LG 47SL9000 LCD TV Review

Their new variety 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 become, stunning TV's at competitive costs.Their new range includes the LG 47SL9000, one from the smaller screens, although the specifications are pretty a lot the same across the board.

LG's SL9000 variety of HDTV's have a series of LED's located on the edge from the display as opposed to the traditional LCD format seen on numerous models currently obtainable. Light Emitting Diode has become the new byword in an industry that strives to produce ever greater levels of detail and viewing quality. There's no denying that the 47SL9000 and 1t is larger, 47 " brother produce 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 a lot 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 1t is slim compared to many of their previous models, it's not the thinnest Tv 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 designed for optimal viewing. One of the best recommendations we can make is to read your instruction manual and configure the Tv to your own requirements rather than utilizing the LG's defaults. One from the greatest modes on the LG 47SL9000 may be the Cinema Mode which has been created to supply an all-round high quality viewing experience out from the box. We discovered that this setting needs minor adjustments to get a excellent picture (some minor tweaks to you backlighting settings will do the trick).

Unfortunately, LG has decided to build the 47SL9000 Tv with Trumotion 100Mhz motion control - the motion control features discovered about the SL8000 series is a far superior200 Hz - but the set nevertheless handles fast moving action well.

The construct and design quality are up there with the greatest names in LCD manufacturing and also the 47SL9000 features fairly a lot all the connectors you'll require to turn it into a decent multimedia hub. Connecting the Tv to your compatible games consoles or Blu-Ray device simple and also the Television has assistance for older devices like VCR's and SD devices.

Sadly, there's no SD card reader simply because LG have decided this television only wants a USB port. No big deal as the USB socket lets you attach a great variety of multimedia devices (AVC HD, SD and HD DivX). If that's not enough, the SL9000 models also advantage from LG's assistance for DNLA compatible products which let you to connect to streaming content via the Ethernet port.

The SL9000's remote commander is both easy to use and advantage from a backlit panel that makes it easy 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 may be the super model-like body which, because 1t is 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 become a 1ssue for Tv enthusiasts with plans to connect the 47SL9000 up to their surround sound system.

The 47SL9000 LED Tv gets a big thumbs up in the power consumption department. The 47SL9000 uses only 0.3 W when placed in standby which, even though more than other LED TV's out there, is nevertheless a major step up from most from the LCD televisions on the marketplace right now.
