LG 47LG90 47-Inch LED Backlit 1080p 120Hz HDTV, Gloss Piano Black Review
LG 47LG90 47-Inch LED Backlit 1080p 120Hz HDTV, Gloss Piano Black Review from Ben Nolen Tech geek. Meets all expectations, 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.
