LED BACKlighting system
Using LEDs for backlighting pushes picture quality to our best levels ever. Experience deep blacks through a 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. LED backlighting also results in more natural color representation and faster response time for smoother, more natural picture motion.



XD Engine

LG's proprietary XD Engine technology takes low-resolution analog signals to near high-definition levels, providing better overall picture quality and an enhanced viewing experience. XD Engine encompasses six distinct processes that help to improve brightness, enhance detail, apply more accurate color and reduce noise, among other benefits.
XD Engine



AV Mode
The AV Mode optimizes the picture into Cinema, Sports, and game Mode according to the video and audio content. The viewer has the ability to quickly choose the correct mode for the picture they are viewing.




Intelligent Sensor

Unlike other sensors which can only sense brightness of ambient light, LG’s “Intelligent Sensor” uses 4,096 sensing steps to evaluate its surroundings. Using a sophisticated algorithm, the LG processes picture quality elements including brightness, contrast, color, sharpness and white balance. The result is a picture optimized for it’s surroundings, more pleasing to watch and which can also save up to 50% in power consumption.




TruMotion 120Hz

fluid motion Advance 120Hz panel provides clearer, smoother images, even during fast action scenes creating a more stable structure for a crisper picture.




24p Real Cinema
Hi-def movies run at 24 frames per second, the speed that they were originally filmed in, making your home-cinema experience one step closer to a “Real Cinema” experience.



Fine-Tuned Natural Sound

audio LG’s 2008 line of TVs include a unique invisible speaker system, tuned by renowned audio expert, Mr. Mark Levinson. Speakers are embedded in strategic spots behind the front cabinet and use minute vibrations to turn the entire front bezel into the speaker system. The result is a clean, polished look, and enhanced audio by increasing the “sweet spot”, giving a wider and richer sound field.

Clear Voice Technology automatically enhances and amplifies the sound of human voice frequency range to help keep dialogue audible when background noise swells.




ISFccc Calibration Ready

isf Your LG HDTV will look great right out of the box, but also contains the detailed adjustment capabiliyt necessary for professional calibration to Imaging Science Foundation specifications. The resulting ISF "day" and "night" modes will then picture performance customized to the user's specific environment.




LG SimpLink
Allows for convenient control of other LG SimpLink products using the existing HDMI connection.





HDMI 1.3 with Deep Color
HDMI 1.3 supports 30-bit, 36-bit and 48-bit (RGB or YCbCr) colour depths. Previous versions of the HDMI specification only supported 24-bit colour depth.
  • Eliminates on-screen colour banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colours
  • Enables increased contrast ratio
  • Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white. At 30-bit pixel depth, four times more shades of gray would be the minimum, and the typical improvement would be eight times or more.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's ok for a first generation LED backlit LCD, March 23, 2009
This review is from: LG 47LG90 47-Inch LED Backlit 1080p 120Hz HDTV, Gloss Piano Black with Blue (Electronics)
I owned it for a few weeks and then returned it. For this much money for a 47" LCD, I expect a lot.

The colors were saturated and the blacks were dark, just as you'd expect from the LED backlit set.

But the blooming or haloing created by the local dimming is just too much. There aren't enough LEDs in the array. So when white text scrolls on a black background like credits you can see a halo around ever letter or word. Then as they scroll, the LEDs turn on and off accordingly and you can very easily see this "pop" of the LEDS turning off. You then begin to notice the same haloing around faces in dark scenes. Pretty soon it is all you see.

You can turn local dimming off, which essentially turns the LEDs into an always on backlight like all CCFL based LCDs. But then you lose the dark blacks benefits, and soon you realize you paid 50% more for a feature that you aren't using anymore and now your set looks about the same as all the others at far less cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive, July 18, 2009
This review is from: LG 47LG90 47-Inch LED Backlit 1080p 120Hz HDTV, Gloss Piano Black with Blue (Electronics)
I've owned this TV for a week now. I haven't experimented with white scrolling text to look for the blooming and I almost don't want to. After working with multimedia encoding and 3D graphics, I've discovered that ignorance is sometimes bliss. Once you notice something, you can't stop yourself from seeing it all the time (like macro blocks from MPEG compression, motion "judder,", etc.).

I'll also agree with other reviewers that you really need to play with the advanced menus in order to tune the picture. "Vivid" and "standard" are nice for cartoons and anime but are too over-the-top for anything else. The auto-adjusting setting is a nice idea but in practice is annoying because it pops up a logo to tell you it is adjusting the picture. I was watching one night and every time I turned a table lamp on or off, the picture would adjust (which would be fine if it didn't annoy me with an on-screen logo to tell me about it).

This TV is no Samsung (LED). I can definitely tell the difference in the local showroom and the Samsungs are very svelte. But for this price, I don't think you can find anything comparable. The LED backlighting definitely increases the visible contrast; you'll see blacks that you just won't see on a non-LED LCD. I haven't seen the blooming or LED "popping" that other reviewers have mentioned, but even if I turn off the dynamic lighting, the LED still gives me brighter lighting, less heat and (theoretically) longer life and greater reliability. Plus, I get bragging rights for a while. "Check it out; the very latest in big screen HD tech!"

Speaking of bragging rights, all of my friends have commented about how wonderful this TV display looks, even people who have bought Samsungs and Bravias in the past year. Considering that I bought this TV at a price that was the same as the non-LED Samsungs, I'm quite happy. All the technical negatives noted about this TV are probably spot on, but for the price, I don't think I could have done nearly as well with any other TV. I bought this TV as sort of a memorial to my brother who died just this past Christmas. He was very into big screen TVs and the latest tech. I think he'd be happy to see his nephew watching Bakugan in HD glory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Picture, March 27, 2009
By Robert Rubeck (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: LG 47LG90 47-Inch LED Backlit 1080p 120Hz HDTV, Gloss Piano Black with Blue (Electronics)
I am not sure why the last reviewer discussed the 47' tv they found for far less, that is true but that's because the other TV's wont produce the picture quality of this TV and this TV blows all normal tv's out of the water. I saw this TV calibrated in the magnolia room at best buy on the wall next to a pioneer pro elite and the picture quality was in my eyes BETTER. I have been waiting to pull the trigger on a new HDTV until I could get more HD content and I am glad I did. As one of the reviewers posted the local dimming can potentially create some halo effects, but my viewing experience has not proved to show this. The picture quality on this TV is WAY WAY WAY better then any other LCD I have viewed other then the Samsung LN46A950 and the Sony tv with LED backlighting. I agree that this TV was expensive at its release but as anything in technology if you wait a few months you can get a deal. I just picked this TV up two weekends ago for $1800 at best buy on sale. The Samsung is stil $3,000 and the sony is in the $5,000 neighborhood, so at $1800 I couldn't pass this up. This TV is GREAT!!!!! I love the TV.
