INTRODUCTION
The LG 47LG60 47" LCD was introduced in the fall of 2008 and runs until the fall of 2009. The LCD has some of the "scarlet" design accents – red trim visible on sides, top and around the stand of the TV. It is very thin at only 2.7" in depth and looks impressive and expensive on its accompanying table stand with the red accents giving a touch of modern class. Processing speed on this unit is up to 120Hz but see our comments below regarding this new feature. It has 1080p resolution and all of the new LG technologies including processing enhancements. It contains 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 4 HDMI inputs (3 in back, 1 on side).
PICTURE QUALITY RATING: 90.5/100
Test and Optimum Viewing Distance: 12 feet
Up conversion from 480i and 480p: Processing hardware contained in the LG60 did a magnificent job up converting from 480i to native resolution. Images from Seabiscuit and Dave Matthews in Concert DVD appeared crisp and background noise is eliminated. I'm going out on a limb here and stating that the viewer will scarcely will benefit from a Blu Ray player – the processor is that good at up converting standard def signals! There was, however motion lag present throughout the test material, more notably with the True Motion 120Hz turned off, however we felt it a necessary trade off to keep this feature off and preserve the realism of the films.
Note the exceptionally accurate post calibration blue tones in this scene with Dave Matthews.
