1. The Best 47 LED TV Is
Undoubtedly The LG
47LS4600
By Scott McMahon
If you are looking for the best 47 inch LED TV, it is undoubtedly the LG 47LS4600 as some of the
the owners of the LG 47LS4600 will share with you their experience with this amazing LED TV
from LG. This review is on the LG 47LS4600 LED TV. The 47 denotes that this is a 47 inch TV.
Nowadays purchasing a TV is no longer a simple affair let alone finding the best 47 inch LED TV
among the sea of TVs from so many manufacturers. There are so many types of TVs – Plasma,
LCD, LED, OLED etc If you really want to, you could literally spend weeks doing research and
reading technical reviews after reviews and ending up to be more confused than you started
off.
I believe many of us are in this situation and as such what I would like to do in this review is to
make it as simple as possible and with as little jargon as possible. This is because at the end of
the day, even with all the advance calibrations tools etc etc what it really boils down to is what
our eyes can perceive and differentiate for us to enjoy what is on our TV be it movies or playing
games.
As such what a better way to gauge how good a TV is then to hear it from owners who have
bought and used the TVs. Here we have some owners telling us how they feel about their LG
47LS600 LED TV.

2. What Is The Difference Between LCD and LED TV?
Technically speaking the LED TV is also an LCD TV as the screen on both is a liquid crystal
display. The LCD display consists of two layers of glass that are polarized and joined together
with the liquid crystals passing or block the light to display the television picture. The crystals
do not produce any light. However the light actually comes from a series of lamps at the back of
the screen.
The difference between an LCD and the LED TV is that on an LCD TV, the lamps at the back of
the screen are fluorescent lamps while the lights at the back of the LED screen are Light
Emitting Diodes (LED).
Which one between these two types offers better picture quality and which one is the best
overall? What offers value for your money and will last longer? There is no specific answer to
these questions and it just boils down to one’s preference.

3. What Owners Of the LG 47LS4600 thought of their LED TV?
Excellent LED TV May 15, 2012
By Eugene Evans "Fasteddie" (Baltimore,MD USA)
I am very impressed with this tv so far...
The TV itself is very sleek and modern looking. It’s one of thinnest LED's I have seen and
would be great for mounting on the wall. The thin black border is very nice and actually
makes the screen look even bigger!!
The stand is also very modern looking and all the trim is a nice glossy black finish.
The picture quality is amazing as well. I went from a 47" Vizio to this LG and its a world of
difference!!..The colors are very vibrant and the black is dense. The adjustments and
settings are very easy to use and can make a world of difference!!..Especially if you find the
codes for THX settings!!
The sound is ok, for this one. I would say its the only thing that could use some
improvement.
Overall this TV is the best bang for the buck!!.. I have owned about 15 LCD/LED tv's and so
far, this is one of the best by far!!
5.0 out of 5 stars The Reason LG is Winning, June 3, 2012
By Tim (Central Coast California)
While Panasonic, Sony and Samsung all battle each other for who's TV is best, LG saving
the money and passing it on to the user, specifically me. This TV is loaded with everything
you would expect in a 2012 TV minus the fads or undeveloped programs. This one caught
my eye because it is so thin and the price is amazing. The bezel on it is very thin and the TV
without the stand is under a inch and a half thick. I bought this to replace my old dinosaur
of a Sharp TV (also an under-rated brand). It is still a great TV, but at almost 6inches wide
it was a heavy best. This TV, although not recommended, I am able to hold in one arm it is
so thin and light.
The picture is great, but I am never a huge fan of edge lit LED as they always appear
lighter/whiter at the edges. It isn't a huge deal expect a really dark scene in a movie, and is
most noticeable when loading a game or movie and the input is blank. The screen should be
black but is grey around the edges. That was a rather large rant, but it is not by any means
a turn off from this TV.
I am a big fan of LG Simplink, although not flawless it easily allows the connection of a
surround sound unit with only a few button pushes on the remote. I do appreciate the
picture calibrator, but I found some user adjustments were still needed as the TV couldn't
get it quite right.
The sound is pretty weak on the TV itself, but that is almost expected these days. I simply
got a sound bar to go with it and it suffices for the sized room this TV is in.

4. Pros:
+Amazon Price
+Thin Bezel and Thin Body
+Great 1080p picture
Cons:
-Underwhelming sound
-LED Edge lighting
Overall you would be lucky to find a better built TV in this price range. Keep it up LG.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing TV, May 29, 2012
By Dan Laskowski
I recently purchased this TV from a local electronics store; my wife and I are very very
pleased with it! I was looking at either this TV or the Panasonic TC-L47E50. Fortunately I
was able to compare the two side-by-side in store, and the LG looked much better. Sound is
decent for a flat-panel TV. Colors look very good and vibrant especially after customizing;
the quality is fantastic. Nice and sleek looking, thin bordered TV. Took me about 20-30 mins
to unpack and set up.

First, I was confused but be aware this is NOT a smart TV (that means no Hulu, Netflix, built
in, you'll need something like a roku box for that)
That being said I specifically didn't want a smart TV because I wanted the money I was
paying to go into the TV and not into making deals for apps on my tv.
This is my first HDTV so I'm certainly not an expert but the picture quality is beautiful. I
spent a lot of time researching to make sure we got the right one and after about a month
of research we settled on this one. Purchase was made from SAM'S CLUB because at the
time they were $30 cheaper, and to be honest I was nervous about shipping something as
fragile as this.
Sound quality is OK, but I'm known for having a tin ear as well. I did have to enable the
smart volume because otherwise it fluctuated so badly.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for the $, June 12, 2012
By Aemal Khattak
I purchased this tv after a lot of research - See if you can get the Amazon pricing (got it for
under $1,000 + free shipping via Prime; right now listed for $1,299), that is sweet.
Pros: Nice picture, easy controls, sleek design, no 3-D (yes, I consider that a plus).
Cons: Sound quality of the built-in speakers, only a TOSLINK (optical cable) port for
connecting to the receiver, and the stand is flimsy. It must be secured at the back end to

5. prevent TV from tipping over. LG provides a location in the stand base where the stand can
be screwed to the table top, provided you want to drill a hole in your table top. I mounted it
on a wall so tipping over is not an issue for me.
5.0 out of 5 stars Bang for the Buck Winner!, June 5, 2012
By Spiderick
This set was not my first choice. The one I wanted was not available at the time. I had it
sent to me on a one day delivery with my Amazon Prime membership. It arrived in perfect
shape and was put together in about 20 min. This set just impresses me every single time I
turn it on. No dead pixels, and no backlight bleed. It does take some fine tuning to achieve
a great picture, but all the tools are there. All in all, I highly recommend this set and I also
think it is a steal at this price.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Picture, July 8, 2012
By Luci Blace (Odenton, MD)
I bought this to replace an old DLP that was dying. I have a Samsung LCD that I like a lot,
so I was a little anxious about getting this LG, but this TV is impressive - especially when
you consider the price. The picture is just fantastic. Here's a breakdown of some of the
awesome features of this TV:
Pros:
- Picture Wizard: Great built-in picture calibration tool.
- Awesome picture quality
- Save money with this model by not paying for all the built in extras (Amazon, streaming
content, etc)
- Simple menu interface
- Works with my Harmony remote
Cons:
- Screen is glossier than other TV's I've had so glare is a little worse than my old TV
- Had to dig into the options to disable the noise reduction processing that always seems to
cause more issues than it solves
- Weak built-in speakers. Will prob buy a soundbar to go with the TV
The TV has some minor issues, but it's a great price and it's got a beautiful picture. You
can't beat the value for the price. We'll see how it holds up over time, but so far so good.
