When it comes to versatility, few HDTVs rival the LG50. It has multiple sizes, invisible speakers and 1080p full HD resolution. That's performance. That's LG.

 Outstanding Full HD Bang for your Buck! June 6, 2008

I've had great experience with LG products - so my purchase of a 47" Full HD set from LG seemed logical.
The picture on my 47LG50 is terrific! Setup out of the box was very intuitive, although I would recommend that the set's picture be set to "standard" instead of "vivid" (torch mode is set by default).
Even when powered off, this set is beautiful. Its piano black case frames the 47" screen very well, although it is more susceptible to fingerprints.
The set offers three HDMI 1.3 inputs and more connection options than one would normally need.
I couldn't give this set a stronger recommendation!
Great color and picture.... February 12, 2009

Pros - The TV has great color and picture quality. It's worth it for the price listed. No Motion blur with Verizon FIOS cable.
Cons - The TV gets a slight distortion on certain camera angles when watching high action sports such as football. This is very unnoticeable to most of my friends but I'm a very picky person and can tell on certain camera angles or plays when watching sports the TV tends to get static.
The speaker system has a Tru SRS surround feature which is useless along with a clear voice option. The speaker/surround feature could be better. I just use the default sound options for no added surround features from the TV.
A few things to take in to consideration.
1 - Make sure your TV room as adequate space. If you don't have at least 10-12 feet between you and your HDTV of this size you might get nausea. The TV can be overwhelming since its 47 inches big and looks totally different in your living room compared to in store.
2 - Make sure you fine tune the colors and lower the back light as it's very powerful. My Tv is tuned to a 60 backlight 80 contrast 55 brightness.
3 - Make sure you get an extended warranty with any HDTV you buy even if its not this model. HDTV's are highly susceptible to dead pixel lines. Most warranty's don't cover a dead pixel line unless it covers a certain area of the TV.
4 - Use a HDMI cable that's oxygen free and shielded. You can buy one online for like 10$ instead of 100$ at your local shop.
Amazing value for the price! June 7, 2008

We priced many tvs and this one was the best bargain for the money! Like the previous reviewer stated, I couldn't give this a higher rating. It's a great LCD!
Great TV at great price! March 1, 2009

A friend of mine has been spending hours the past several weeks trying to find that perfect LCD TV. I think he must sank 40+ hours into the project by now. He did eventually settle on a 40-42" (can't remember which) Sony for about $1500.
I walk into a close-out sale and walk out with a LG47LG50 in less than 15 minutes for $899. Now, I'll be the first to admit that not doing proper research into a high dollar purchase is not wise, but this TV is amazing! Lots of connections and a brilliant picture that is easy to customize. I've put my PC, a game console, and my over-the-air antenna up to this LG and all look great! My research-heavy friend came over to see it today and was thoroughly impressed with the set.
Best thing about this TV is how intuitive the menu user interface is. Everything from the physical remote control to the antenna tuning interface just makes sense. I'm not saying my 85 year old grandma can run with it, but I believe most people will have absolutely NO problems navigating the myriad of options on this set.
PROS:
- Great, large picture
- Good price
- Intuitive menus and button layout
- Attractive set (hidden speakers)
- Lots of connectivity
CONS:
- Glossy black finish makes finger prints and dust easily visible
- It's light. It's couple pounds lighter than other TVs this size. This could be a con as it feels "cheap," or it could be a pro in that it's light and easy to move. Not a deal breaker.
BOTTOM LINE:
Great set at great price. Would highly recommend.
Wonderful TV for the price!! December 7, 2008

We purchased this LG 47" back in July of 08 and we love it!! We have not had any issues with the picture or sound. I do believe it's one of the best TV's on the market for the money. We paid $1399.00 with free shipping and compared to some of the other deals out there, I don't believe you can go wrong with this TV. Like other products on the market there are bound to be some with defects, but I do know that LG stands behind their products 100%. If your considering a new HD TV this one is outstanding. Add surround sound and it's wonderful!
