LG is currently the proud recipient of the 2011 Energy Star Most Efficient award for its 144-watt 47LW5700 LED TV, and it appears the company is loath to lose that distinction in 2012 — it claims to have made a 47-inch LCD TV panel that draws just 28 watts of power, making it the world"s most efficient. The reduction in energy usage comes from placing an LED backlight along just a single edge of the panel rather than all four; a special three-layer film is used to diffuse and focus that light across the entire display. LG claims 400 nits of brightness while the panel itself draws less power than a 40-inch LCD panel or 20-inch PC monitor; according to data gathered by CNET, it"s not unusual for a 40 to 50-inch LCD TV with all its other electronics to pull nearly 200 watts. With the revised Energy Star 5.3 going into effect just 10 days ago setting a hard limit at 108 watts of total power draw and 6.0 set to lower the limit to 85 watts next fall, this new panel might be just in time.
Take the LG 47LH55 for example. This 1080p LCD touts its 240Hz TruMotion technology. Two years ago, almost all LCDs were a standard 60Hz, meaning they displayed 60 frames per second.
Last year, 120Hz TVs were the rage. (The theory is that these 120 frames per second LCDs would be more capable at smoothing out motion in fast moving scenes.) Of course - in theory - if 120 is good, then 240 must be better. And 2009 is the year that most manufacturers have introduced at least one 240Hz model.
But the big tech wheel keeps on rolling and it"s picking up momentum. Even before year"s end, a mere 240Hz display is not enough muscle to maintain top dog status. Now, to be the big kahuna, 240Hz LCDs must feature LED backlights.
With that said, since the LG 47LH55 employs the more traditional CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent light) as a backlight, in this tech hierarchy, it now is relegated to the tier below LG"s more expensive LH90 240Hz LCD LED TV.
But a notch below the top is still very high and I like the 47LH55 not only for its excellent picture quality but because LG has produced one of the easiest to setup TVs that I have encountered.
(Editor"s Note: LG also makes three other sizes in the LH55 series, the 37" 37LH55, the 42" 42LH55, and the spacious 55" 55LH55. Since all four models have similar specifications, this review of the 47LH55 can apply to the other three.)
The video performance of the LG 47LH55 is excellent as long as you don"t sit too far off axis or too close. The audio fidelity is good, better than many integrated speakers that I have heard.
With the Picture Wizard facility, the arduous task of setting up your TV is simplified. LG also includes an abbreviated manual that you can access directly on your TV screen.
A 47" 240Hz LCD at $1800 is competitive, but I just checked a few Internet dealers and found the LG 47LH55 for under $1200, which is even more appealing. Remember, when you are comparing different models that this one is not LED backlit nor can you connect it directly to the Internet. But it delivers solid performance in one of the easiest to use packages that I have seen.
At almost four inches thick (sans stand) and weighing 51.5 pounds when attached to the swivel stand, the 47LH55 is not the skinniest kid on the block.
And since this LCD, like almost all of this ilk, doesn"t have a wide viewing angle, the ability to rotate it towards your seat and away from any annoying glare is a definite boon.
LG provides two connection panels. The smaller convenience panel is nestled deep into the left edge of the TV. It contains one HDMI input, one Composite Video In with stereo Audio Ins, and a USB port for uploading JPEG photos or MP3 songs.
Next to this panel on the back, a larger panel includes three more HDMI inputs, two Component video (YPbPr) Ins (with matching stereo Audio Ins), one VGA PC input with an Audio In (stereo minijack), and an RS-232C service port that can also be used to connect to control devices. There is no S-Video In, though I can"t imagine why you would want one.
The 47LH55 does not provide a LAN port, therefore you cannot connect directly to your home network or stream content off the Internet. If you want this Internet feature that LG calls NetCast, then the company offers it in the LH50 LCD series and the PS80 plasma line.
LG supplies a printed Startup Guide, but the more detailed manual is packaged electronically on a CD. Unless you have a laptop that you can locate near your TV, referring to the manual on the CD is not convenient.
But LG counters that situation by adding instructions that you can access while watching your TV. You load up this Simple Manual from the Options sub-menu. The seven page on screen manual covers basic topics like using the remote and navigating the menus.
Since manufacturers are not attaching those yellow ENERGY STAR tags that you find on air conditioners and refrigerators, you will have to study the ENERGY STAR list to see how the 47LH55 compares to other 47" TVs. A quick scan indicated that it is competitive.
LG also includes an Energy Saving setting, with Auto, Minimum, Medium, and Maximum options. By picking a lower setting, you reduce the TV"s power consumption by lowering the backlight level.
Before I launch into my usual description of how we normally setup a TV, let me talk about an easy to use, on screen feature that LG provides called the Picture Wizard.
We use the test patterns to adjust black level, white level, and color bias. The player is set to output a 1080p signal, which is the native resolution of the 47LH55.
LG provides two Sharpness controls, Vertical and Horizontal, with a scale from 0 to 100 (Max). When looking at a Safe Zone test pattern, I noticed the beginning of fringing at 60. I left both at 50.
If you can"t control yourself, LG offers all the tools that a certified ISF technician would need to calibrate the TV. When you are fine tuning the settings in the Color Management menu, remember that the ISF tech may be using meters that can detect slight differences in the adjustments. You may not be able to see any changes with your unaided eyes.
Since this is a 240Hz LCD panel, I want to briefly discuss how LG"s 47LH55 achieves 240 frames per second. To begin, if the original content is 60Hz video, then to go to 120 frames, the TV creates an extra frame with a technique called motion interpolation and motion compensation (MEMC).
From there, LG uses backlight scanning to jump from 120Hz to 240. Toshiba and VIZIO employ the same technique and I have discussed the technology in detail in my review of the VIZIO SV471XVT. Please read it if you need a refresher. The diagram below illustrates the process.
In the Picture Menu, LG offers two settings, TruMotion and Real Cinema, that effect how the display deals with motion interpolation and motion compensation (MEMC).
With some of these high frame rate TVs, I notice that they can create an almost 3D-like (crisp separation of foreground from background) effect. The three dimensionality on the 47LH55 was not as pronounced as on some of the TVs I have reviewed, but occasionally, you do get that "Good Golly, Miss Molly" experience.
On the flip side, when MEMC is really cranking away, it can become confused, especially when someone in the scene is walking fast past a complicated background. You see a bubble around the moving object. I witnessed this artifacting in a few rare scenes on this LG TV. If it bothers you, turn off TruMotion 240Hz.
I like to sit close to my TVs, much closer than most normal people. Even with all the advancements in Super In Plane Switching (S-IPS) panels like the one in the LG 47LH55, the picture on this LCD still has a tendency to wash out if you are sitting too far off axis.
The problem can also occur if you are sitting too close to the TV. The edges have a tendency to lighten which is more noticeable in dark scenes. It finally dawned on me to sit a more typical distance (about 8") from this 47" TV. At that location, the screen was uniformly saturated.
And I really appreciate how flexible and responsive the TV is to your preferences. If you want to pump the picture up for your favorite sporting event or subdue it for a more cinema-like experience, the 47LH55 can handle it.
The LG 47LH55"s video performance lives up to my lofty expectations for high end 240Hz LCDs. What really stands this series apart from the crowd is how easy it is to setup with its Picture Wizard feature.
The styling for the 47LW5600 is fairly traditional with a glossy black bezel surrounding the LCD display (1 1/4" wide on the top and sides and 2" on the bottom). The one flair is a thin, clear, beveled edging.
Since this TV employs a passive 3D system, it does not need a 3D eye wear transmitter that syncs to active shutter 3D glasses. The LG passive glasses system makes viewing 3D content much simpler.
In the middle of the panel, facing out towards the back are one Component Video In (with matching stereo Audio Ins), one Composite Video In (with matching stereo Audio Ins), an RS232 port, and a Wireless Control port that supports the LG Wireless Media Box (sold separately).
To expand the reach of this TV even further, LG has made the 47LW5600 DLNA Certified. When attached to your home network, the TV can access videos, photos and music stored on your DLNA Certified computer or other compliant devices and play the content directly on to your big screen.
But for full featured TVs like the 47LW5600, you really need another input device to navigate through all the options. Some manufacturers are offering a remote with a slide out keyboard. LG is taking a different tack with their motion-controlled Magic Remote.
The EPA states that this LG"s On Mode Power is a paltry 63W and Standby Power Consumption is .1W. Based on the formula that the TV is on five hours a day and in Standby for the other 19, the Estimated Annual Energy Use is 115.67 kWh/year.
I am delighted to report that if all you want to do is watch TV, the setup is easy, breezy. In fact, LG"s Picture Wizard setup guide is the most straightforward, useful calibration device that I have met. And its results should satisfy all but the most obsessive.
The LG’s onboard sound is thin and colored, but as long as you don’t expect it to serve as a good music and/or home theater system, it’s serviceable for casual viewing.
LG’s 3D glasses are priced at $130 per pair, and none are included with the set. However, as I write this, a promotional offer provides two pair of glasses plus a copy of the 3D Blu-ray IMAX Under the Sea free with the purchase of the set along with an LG Blu-ray player.
In the Expert1 mode, the LG’s video processing was superb in both HD and SD. It passed all of our standard tests with no visible problems (see the Video Test Bench chart). The manual states that the set isn’t compatible with a 480i input over HDMI, but it worked for me.
I experienced one issue that was subtle, and, on most program material, hard to spot: horizontal (and occasionally vertical) banding in large areas of uniform color, such as solid white or a clear blue sky. The most obvious example I found was the first few minutes of the 3D Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. In fact, this artifact was often easier to see with 3D material than 2D, although I could still spot it in some 2D sources. Testing a second 47LX9500 revealed that this issue wasn’t confined to our first sample. But the complex details in most scenes masked the problem completely.
I didn’t notice this banding in the similar (but 2D) LG 47LE8500, perhaps because the 47LX9500 is 0.3 inches thinner than the 47LE8500. The backlighting in an LCD set, whether conventional or LED, must spread evenly across the entire back side of the LCD panel. The less space there is from the lighting to the panel, the more difficult it is to provide uniformly diffused illumination.
In all other respects, the LG performed superbly. The two most telling gauges of subjectively right color—fleshtones and green foliage (we see the real things virtually every day)—were exceptional. From the wooded surroundings of a small coastal New England town in the SyFy HD series Haven to the Seattle greenery in the montage from the Spears & Munsil High Definition Benchmark Blu-ray test disc, greens were consistently believable. And fleshtones looked right. Of course, all bets are off when the program works overtime to be creative with color—we’re looking at you, CSI: Miami.
Resolution was also outstanding. I’ve recently gone on a old World War II movie kick, inspired by Winston’s War: Churchill, 1940–1945, a 576-page book I’m slowly working my way through. I watched everything I had on hand on Blu-ray, including A Bridge Too Far and The Longest Day (both excellent films, especially the less well-known Bridge) to Battle of the Bulge (terrible movie, but well photographed). While I found that some of this material didn’t hold up as well on a much larger screen, it all looked great on the 47-inch LG. I even spent some time with standard-definition World War II fare, including the grim but gripping first two-thirds of the 1988–1989 miniseries War and Remembrance. The 4:3 transfer of this epic TV production isn’t very good by today’s standards, but it proved how well the LG handles even relatively mediocre SD fare. I didn’t mind the lower resolution; the story, and the LG, kept me engaged. Nevertheless, I’d love to see this full miniseries released on Blu-ray, but I don’t see that happening. Ever.
The LG’s local dimming really delivered. Both the black levels and shadow details in all of my favorite test scenes were first rate. Season one of the new SGU: Stargate Universe is a surprisingly dark production, in terms of both the writing and the lighting. The LG handled those dark scenes beautifully. When the source called for a fade to black, or for black bars, their darkness melted into the near pitch black of my darkened room. While the blacks aren’t quite that dark when parts of the screen are lighter, the way the set handled dark scenes was never less than completely satisfying.
The single exception to the LG’s local-dimming prowess was the same one I noted in my review of the LG 47LE8500. Local dimming can produce halos around bright objects set against a dark background—halos that shouldn’t be there. I didn’t find them distracting most of the time. But in the opening star field in Stargate: Continuum, my acid test for this artifact, there were visible halos around several of the brightest stars.
LG Electronics Inc. (Korean: 엘지 전자; RR: Elji Jeonja) is a South Korean multinational electronics company headquartered in Yeouido-dong, Seoul, South Korea. LG Electronics is a part of LG Corporation, the fourth largest LG Chem. It comprises four business units: home entertainment, mobile communications, home appliances & air solutions, and vehicle components. LG Electronics acquired Zenith in 1995 and the largest shareholder of LG Display, world"s largest display company by revenue in 2020.Samsung Electronics. The company has 128 operations worldwide, employing 83,000 people.
In 1958, LG Electronics was founded as Hangul: Korean War to provide the rebuilding nation with domestically produced consumer electronics and home appliances. The start of the country"s national broadcasting that created a booming electronics market and a close relationship it quickly forged with Hitachi helped GoldStar to produce South Korea"s first radios, TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners.GoldStar was one of the LG groups with a brethren company, Lak-Hui (pronounced "Lucky") Chemical Industrial Corp. which is now LG Chem and LG Households. GoldStar merged with Lucky Chemical and LS Cable on 28 February 1995, changing the corporate name to Lucky-Goldstar and then finally to LG Electronics.
In 1994, GoldStar officially adopted the LG Electronics brand and a new corporate logo. In 1995, LG Electronics acquired the US-based TV manufacturer Zenith and absorbed it four years later.

When you"re shopping for a new TV, these are the sets you"ll come across most often. We"re going to break down the differences, so you understand what it means when a TV in a shop is described as LCD or LED.
LCD stands for liquid crystal display. The liquid crystals block or allow light to pass through them. The different colours and brightness levels created by the liquid crystals and various filters become the picture on the screen.
At the same time, you shouldn"t be put off if the TV is listed as LCD. It"s possible that is still has an LED backlight, but, as it still has an LCD display, it"s not an inaccurate listing.
Shopping for a new TV sounds like it could be fun and exciting — the prospect of a gleaming new panel adorning your living room wall is enough to give you goosebumps. But with all the brands to choose from, and different smart capabilities (we can explain what a smart TV is) to weigh, as well as the latest picture tech to consider, it can be daunting. Is this article, we compare OLED vs. LED technology to see which is better for today’s modern TVs. Once you determine which panel type is best for you, make sure you check out our list of the best TVs to get our editor’s recommendations.
Non-OLED TVs are made of two main parts: An LCD panel and a backlight. The LCD panel contains the pixels, the little colored dots that make up a TV’s image. On their own, pixels cannot be seen; they require a backlight. When light from the backlight shines through an LCD pixel, you can see its color.
The “LED” in LED TV simply refers to how the backlight is made. In the past, a thicker and less-efficient technology called CCFL (cold-cathode fluorescent light) was used. But these days, virtually every flat-screen TV uses LEDs as its source of backlighting. Thus, when you see the term “LED TV,” it simply refers to an LED-backlit LCD TV.
Currently, LG Display is the only manufacturer of OLED panels for TVs, famed for top-line models like the CX. Sony and LG have an agreement that allows Sony to put LG OLED panels into Sony televisions — like the bright X95OH — but otherwise, you won’t find OLED in many other TV displays sold in the U.S.
The differences in performance between LG’s OLED TVs and Sony’s result from different picture processors at work. Sony and LG have impressive processors that are also unique to each brand, which is why two TVs with the same panel can look drastically different. A good processor can greatly reduce issues like banding and artifacting and produce more accurate colors as well.
Other brands that source panels from LG include Philips, Panasonic, HiSense, Bang & Olufsen, and more. You’ll also see lesser-known brands sparingly, but for now, they’re all getting their panels from the same source.
Samsung does make OLED smartphone panels, and the company recently announced it would start building new TV panels based on a hybrid of QLED and OLED known as QD-OLED, but it will be a few more years before we see the first TVs that use this technology.
Despite the name, microLED has more in common with OLED than LED. Created and championed by Samsung, this technology creates super-tiny, modular LED panels that combine light emission and color like OLED screens do, minus the “organic” part. For now, the technology is primarily being used for extra-large wall TVs, where colors, blacks, and off-angle viewing are excellent but with more potential for greater brightness and durability than OLED TVs.
LED TVs rely on LED backlights shining behind an LCD panel. Even with advanced dimming technology, which selectively dims LEDs that don’t need to be on at full blast, LED TVs have historically struggled to produce dark blacks and can suffer from an effect called “light bleed,” where lighter sections of the screen create a haze or bloom in adjacent darker areas.
Because OLED pixels combine the light source and the color in a single diode, they can change states incredibly fast. By contrast, LED TVs use LEDs to produce brightness and tiny LCD “shutters” to create color. While the LED’s brightness can be changed in an instant, LCD shutters are by their nature slower to respond to state changes.
That’s why gamers, in particular, want TVs that can handle VRR or Variable Refresh Rate. It’s a rare feature on both OLED and LED TVs, but you can expect to see it show up on more models in both types of TVs. Right now, you can find VRR in certain Samsung, LG, and TCL TVs. But neither OLED nor LED TVs have a real advantage when it comes to VRR; some models have the feature, and some don’t. Your gaming system also has to support VRR, though that shouldn’t be much of an issue if you own a new Xbox Series X, PS5, or even a PS4/One X.
OLED, again, is the winner here. With LED TVs, the best viewing angle is dead center, and the picture quality diminishes in both color and contrast the further you move to either side. While the severity differs between models, it’s always noticeable. For its LED TVs, LG uses a type of LCD panel known as IPS, which has slightly better off-angle performance than VA-type LCD panels (which Sony uses), but it suffers in the black-level department in contrast to rival VA panels, and it’s no competition for OLED. Samsung’s priciest QLED TVs feature updated panel design and anti-reflective coating, which make off-angle viewing much less of an issue. While OLED still beats these models out in the end, the gap is closing quickly.
OLEDs have come a long way in this category. When the tech was still nascent, OLED screens were often dwarfed by LED/LCD displays. As OLED manufacturing has improved, the number of respectably large OLED displays has increased — now pushing 88 inches — but they’re still dwarfed by the largest LED TVs, which can easily hit 100 inches in size, and with new technologies, well beyond.
LG says you’d have to watch its OLED TVs five hours a day for 54 years before they’d fall to 50% brightness. Whether that’s true remains to be seen, as OLED TVs have only been out in the wild since 2013. For that reason and that reason only, we’ll award this category to LED TVs. It pays to have a proven track record.
Can one kind of TV be healthier for you than another? If you believe that we need to be careful about our exposure to blue light, especially toward the evening, then the answer could be yes. Both OLED and LED TVs produce blue light, but OLED TVs produce considerably less of it. LG claims its OLED panels only generate 34% blue light versus LED TV’s 64%. That stat has been independently verified, and LG’s OLED panels have been given an Eye Comfort Display certification by TUV Rheinland, a standards organization based out of Germany.
OLED panels require no backlight, and each individual pixel is extremely energy-efficient. LED TVs need a backlight to produce brightness. Since LEDs are less energy-efficient than OLEDs, and their light must pass through the LCD shutters before it reaches your eyes, these panels must consume more power for the same level of brightness.
