LG 47LE5500

With its razor-thin profile and lightly tinted bezel, the LG 47LE5500 ($2,099.99 list) makes for an attractive home theater centerpiece, plus you get sharp images, great color quality, and plenty of Web apps like Netflix and VUDU. This 47-inch HDTV uses LED backlighting with local dimming making it very energy efficient. The panel's measured contrast ratio is merely average, and it suffers from some backlight seepage, although it's not nearly as prominent as other edge-lit TVs I've seen. One of the things that I loved about last-year's LG 42SL90 ($1,999.99, ) was its edge-to-edge glass design. You won't find that here, but the 47-inch panel on the 47LE5500 sits inside a black cabinet measuring just 1.2 inches thick; it's among the thinner TVs we've seen in the PC Labs recently. The top and side bezels are 1.5 inches wide each, and the bottom bezel is 2.5 inches wide. All four sides sport a glossy black finish with a sleek reddish accent that is similar to Samsung's Touch of Color bezel design. The screen features a matte, non-reflective, anti-glare coating, and the matching rectangular base is sturdy and offers easy swivel maneuverability. 10-watt down-firing speakers mounted on the bottom of the cabinet are plenty loud and can be cranked all the way up without distorting, but you don't get a whole lot of bass response given the slim cabinet design. For a more robust integrated audio experience, HDTVs from Mitsubishi, like the LT-46249 ($2,599.99, ) are a better bet.

LG 47LE5500

In the last few years the most compelling LCD challengers to the picture-quality reign of plasma were equipped with multizone LED backlights that could dim or brighten in different areas of the screen independently. Broadly known as "local dimming" technology, in the best cases it delivered superb black level performance and manageable tradeoffs in the form of stray illumination or "blooming." In worse cases, such as the LG LE5500 series, that stray illumination is not managed well. Unfortunately, we suspect that many buyers lured by the LG's claims of dimming won't understand the differences--among them the fact that this TV uses LED that illuminate the screen from the edge, rather than from behind. The LE5500 does offer plenty of perks, including accurate color, decent bright-room performance, a stylishly thin frame and numerous Internet features, but seekers of LED-based LCDs who place a premium on image quality should look elsewhere. Series information: We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 47-inch LG 47LE5500, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series. All sizes have identical specs and according to the manufacturer should provide very similar picture quality.
