LG 47LE5900 review

The LG 47LE5900 is a slimline 47-inch LED TV from LG released in early 2010, offering HDTV, along with a wide range of other features, including Internet connectivity. One of a range of TVs, ranging from 32 to 55 inches, is based on the relatively new flat screen technology: LED.

LED TVs are relatively new to the market and compete with existing flat screen technologies: LCD and Plasma. LED uses light-emitting diodes to produce colors, replacing the bulbs and color wheels used by other technologies. The advantages are that it provides more intense and saturated colors, with better detail. Plus, the lack of moving parts means there’s less chance of part failure.

With a built-in high-definition digital tuner, this TV supports full 1080p picture resolution, with a 100Hz refresh rate (called LG’s TruMotion). The introduction of digital television has expanded the possibilities of television programming, with additional channels and features, including high-definition images. The advantage of the 47LE5900 is that it supports HD programming out of the box, without the need for an additional decoder, as with previous TVs.

Internet connectivity, which LG refers to as NetCast, allows you to draw content from the Internet directly to your TV, without necessarily having to connect a computer. There is a network port on the back of the TV to connect to a broadband connection, or you can use a WiFi adapter. Among other services, this connectivity allows you to access YouTube videos, Skype or photo sharing services.

While the ability to connect digital cameras and camcorders to televisions has been around for a long time, the 47LE5900 has a USB port for easy access. This means it’s quick and easy to access videos and photos, without the need to carry an extra type of cable. In addition to this, there are four (4) HDMI ports, allowing for a number of input sources.

DLNA connectivity is also compatible with this model. DLNA is a trade name for devices that can connect with each other to share content, which basically allows you to connect your TV to your computer, printers, and mobile devices. Essentially, this allows you to play or display music and videos, with the caveat that there are digital rights management restrictions in place.

While LED TV technology has been around for a few years, most consumers have been waiting for it to hit the mainstream, with the inherent price drop and technical evolution. As more and more manufacturers start to release products, consumers will discover that there are cheaper products with better features on the market.

The decision to step in and buy a new TV is a big investment for most families, and ultimately the choice should be made based on what you want out of the product and what features you need. At least for now, the LG 47LE5900 is a well-designed TV at the higher end of the screen size spectrum, with features that put it at the forefront of today’s technology.
