LG 47LM670T Pro Reviews


Ultimately, the 47LM670T is a ravishingly well designed thin-screen with an average HD picture. This won’t stop LG shifting mountains of them. My advice is look further up the Cinema Screen range, where greater picture precision should better complement this set’s high fashion façade.

With the 47LM670T, LG has produced arguably the prettiest 3D TV of the year. It also has an excellent internet portal, top-notch file support, and bright, inexpensive 3D. However, image quality lacks finesse. This is a screen for the daytime TV crowd, not movie enthusiasts or sports fans.

It’s a shame we’ve had to devote so much page space to a few issues that come along with the LG 47LM670T as, but for a couple of problems that can really hamper the immersion, it’s actually quite a capable mid-range TV. The problems in question are seemingly panel driving related and we would be hopeful that LG can investigate and act accordingly in releasing a software update to address both the motion trailing issues with 50Hz content and the occasional inability to deal with high contrast material at 1080p24, i.e. most Blu-ray discs, in similar fashion. We would certainly consider the former problem the most intrusive for day to day use but that doesn’t mean the latter can be disregarded, particularly for big movie watchers. Most of the rest of the package was very impressive; an accurate colour palette with even toning, excellent video processing, comparatively good screen uniformity and an excellent range of Smart TV features - all wrapped up in the best GUI we’ve seen to date - will mean the LM670 will certainly find favour with some but, ultimately, we feel that LG needs to address the two highlighted issues, in particular, to meet the needs of the videophile shopping in this market sector.

The 47LM670T is (literally) a great looking flatscreen. With no apparent bezel when it's turned off, and only a token one when it's on, the screen is a poser of the highest order. And with a glossy new user interface to match, beauty isn't just skin deep. Visually, the set is all about shop-floor pizzazz and doesn't stand up to close scrutiny. Still, we don't hold that against it - it just makes us eager to explore further up the range.

LG means business – as if that needed reiterating – and the 47LM670T is quite a statement of intent
