LG Electronics 47LN5400 47-Inch Deals

This review is from: LG Electronics 42LN5400 42-Inch 1080p 120Hz LED-LCD HDTV (Electronics)
Pros:

120Hz (This can be a con as well, see below) - There is a review stating this is not a 120Hz panel, it is.
IPS Pannel - This is the type of LCD it is and IPS delivers better, truer color.
Excellent viewing angel - Someone stated it has a poor viewing angle. I don't know what that person was looking at but this is not true for this LCD.
Inexpensive - This is a very good bang for the buck TV.
Great for bright room. There is a review that states this is TV is poor in bright rooms.
Great for gaming - There is a review stating this panel is poor for gaming. Actually this TV has very low latency and as such there is little lag in the TV responding to movement in games.

Cons:

120Hz can't be turned off. This can make movies seem too real, what is known as the soap opera effect. It bothers most people and with most 120Hz TVs this can be turned off. With this TV it can not. LG could release a firmware that has the option to turn this off, but don't bet on it. This effect is not negative in most TV shows (except dramas), sports and games.
Poor for dark rooms. I think this is due to the 120Hz and strong contrast. Again I think this is just for things that are affected by the soap opera effect. It becomes worse in the dark.

Neutral:

Only 2 HDMI ports - If you need more than 2 you may want to think about getting yourself a receiver or Home Theater in a Box
Sound - If you need better sound you may want to think about getting a receiver or Home Theater in a Box
Not a Smart TV - If this is important to you look elsewhere.

Overall most will be happy with this TV. If you are sensitive to the soap opera effect then look elsewhere.

I got a great deal on the price of this TV, and I am pleasantly surprised at the great picture it has. I knew going in that the HDMI and other connections were lacking on this unit, but with a few changes in the way I connected my components, I was able to overcome what I was use to. The user manual is lacking some of the specific technical detail that I would like to see, but I guess for a novice it is OK. All in all it's a good tv and I would recommend it.

We replaced our 35" Toshiba Tube T.V. with this.
Wonderful replacement.
We don't play games or connect to Netflix, etc...so the sound is great and we have not felt a need to buy a speaker bar yet.
The picture quality is great.
I did need to work with the settings to get the picture we need for the lighting in our living room.
I would highly recommend this product.
