The LG 47SL9000 is a new High Definition TV from one of Korea’s consumer electronics giant, LG Electronics. This TV is a radical departure from the conventional designs of most LCD TV’s. It is devilishly slim, and its front fascia is just one smooth slab of glass. And under this beauty comes technology to make your viewing experience extraordinary.

LG’s SL9000 series of HDTV’s have LED’s that light up from the edge of the screen. This makes the LCD much thinner than its counterparts. It might not be the thinnest set that you could buy, but measuring just over 4 cm at its sides, this is definitely slim. Looking at the front, you would notice that this TV has no bezel. This is what LG means with its Borderless design.

More contrast generally means better pictures. With this TV’s whopping 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio, the pictures that you would see here are simply mind-blowing. And if you haven’t already guessed it, the LED lighting also adds up to enliven the picture. It is also fully HD Capable, with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080p. This results in stunning detail and really crystal clear pictures in its expansive 47 inch screen.

With superior detail and high resolution, it wouldn’t make sense if the TV set can’t be viewed on different angles. Many LCD TVs suffer from narrow viewing angles. That is why LG designed this TV to be viewed at 178/178 degrees, wide enough for watching with the whole family.

The LG 47SL9000 LCD TV is equipped with LG’s Trumotion 100Hz motion control. Though the refresh rate is not as fast as 200Hz motion control technologies, it is still very effective in minimizing motion blur. Another feature that minimizes blurring is its 2 ms response time. Motion blur is not noticeable when watching fast moving objects on the screen.

Hooking up the TV to digital input sources is a straightforward affair, with four HDMI ports for all the video sources that you may have at your disposal. It can also accept analog inputs, with a VGA port and Component Video jacks. It also offers a digital audio output, where you could hook it up straight to your home theater system for better sound. It also offers other connections like a USB port, an Ethernet port, and an integrated Bluetooth connectivity. You could connect your phone wirelessly to the TV and start viewing pictures and listening to music from it. And if you want to watch a movie while not disturbing others, you could pair Bluetooth headphones to the TV.

All good things come with compromises though, and LG have certainly had some missteps with this TV. For one thing, the screen is a bit glossy, which can complicate viewing in brightly lit rooms. Also, as a result of its really skinny physique, the sound quality from its built-in speaker is a little on the tinny side. But for those who plan to hook this up into their home theater set-up, this is just a minor issue since they won’t be using the integrated speakers.

The LG 47SL9000 really gets a thumbs-up in the energy department, drawing 40% less power compared to traditional LCD TV’s. Combining stylish design with state of the art features, LG has created a masterpiece for your home theater.
