Best bang for the buck

I have never written a review for anything, but a review for this TV is a must. It's picture quality is amazing from cable to BluRay to DVD. It has brought my old DD's to life with the motionflow 240hz technology. If you know anything about this, it looks as if you are on the set when they are filming and gives a depth to each scene. Just watched the Se7en on it (non-Blu-Ray) and caught things I missed on the set due to this TV's clarity and depth. I thought it would only bring my Blu-Ray's to life, but even movies like The Natural plain DVD were killer and made Robert Redford seem timeless like it was recently shot even though the movie was shot nearly 30 years ago.

I purchased this set from a local Fry's for 999.00 and based on thorough research and comparisons, it was a steal. Even watching the high end Sony's etc, they were giving the same picture quality at almost twice the price.

I can't speak for the lip sync issues, as I have it running to an old surround sound system and not showing any problems.

Bottom line, LG is making a rival 240hz slick design flat panel that exceeds other high end brands at a fraction of the cost.

Best TV for the price

I have never written a review on Amazon before, but I do have to write a review on this TV as there is only one review giving it one star. I received this TV today and couldn't ask for better service from Amazon. They delivered it with the free shipping and the company even installed it for me! This TV has very beautiful lines and with its "borderless" frame design, I would have to agree with most it just makes it that much better. The intelligent sensor on this TV is a nice feature for people that like the TV to do all the adjusting automatically based on your lighting but I would have to say that using the vivid setting with the energy saving is the best setting. The trumotion 240 Hz is an excellent feature to have as it smoothes out jitter from previous 60 Hz models. Personally, I could not have picked a better TV for the price and I would have to say this is a steal and would recommend it to anyone!

Excellent TV at a good price

I've had the TV for about 2 weeks and have been very happy with it. The picture quality is great and after 2 weeks I don't see any dead pixels. Set-up was easy, but I suppose most of them are. I spent a fair amount of time researching TVs and based on the good reviews I heard about buying on Amazon (i.e. return policy), the TV picture quality (based on visual comparison to other TVs I saw in the store) and the fact I had a limited space so the 47 inch (verus 46 inch) gave me a little more screen size, I decided to buy this TV. I don't really know what else to say besides I'm happy with it. One caution I would give is I suspect the glass screen cover would reflect a light pretty bad, so be sure that where you set it up you're not going to have a lamp or windows shining right into it.

OUTSTANDING VALUE

I own a 46" Samsung previously rated #1 by a Consumer organization. This 47" LG is far superior on several levels.

Pros: Unbelievable picture quality, especially on movie channels.
Tweaker's delight. Numerous user customizable settings for both picture and audio.
Television is thin and very sharp looking.
Cost is several hundred dollars lower than comparable heavily advertized models.
Remote is well laid out and easy to use.
240hz user-controllable scan rate on a TV at this price.
4 HDMI 1.3 inputs.

Cons: Stand must be installed by the user (I cut LG a little slack, it is only 8 screws and took 5 minutes).
User should tweak picture settings to get the best PQ. Once adjusted, the picture quality is incredible.

If picture quality is your primary concern, you will not be disappointed by the LG 47SL80. Also, Amazon consistently had the best price for the TV.

As a side note, Pilot air folks called and provided a local number to setup delivery. Delivery was on-time and the delivery staff were very courteous. For me this was a good experience overall. I highly recommend both Amazon and this LG TV.

EXCELLENT TV !!!!
