Some customer reviews of LG 47LE7900

Simon,

Score 4.0/10

Good points:: Looks good from the front and picture quality is good. Price is reasonable for a full LED TV
Bad points:: Ridiculous design! TV is very flat but then the scart and 3 of the HDMI cables are designed so that cables have to stick into the back (rather than the side). if you want to hang it on the wall, it means there is a large gap at the back making the slim design a bit pointless. Also, the power cable is not detachable (like virtually all other manufacturers) so it is very difficult to hide the cable behind a plastered wall.

LG customer service is very poor. The product went wrong and they continually failed to call back when they promised.

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Excellent picture quality, esp the hd channels which there are not many of yet on freeview hd yet. I linked this up to my blu ray player and have to say this is awsome! There is ease of use for internet apps and bluetooth. Handy that it has 4 hdmi slots for other devices.
Bad points:: Screen can be a little reflective but you get used to it, and the sound is not fabulous , but hooked up to a surround system that gets round it . remote is a little bit fiddly!! but all in all you will not be disappointed.

Linda, Cornwall High spec fanatic

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Very slim TV, picture quality is very good indeed , also a very big plus side to the TV being LED is that there is very little heat genarated from the back.
Plenty of connection options and very easy to select each one.
The remote has a backlight switch, so no problem using it in dim light.
A quality TV, with a 2 year standard LG guarantee, not mentioned by a lot of retailers!!
Bad points:: Sound is a little weak, possibly due to the set being so slim, but I have mine set up through home cinema surround sound and it's really amazing when done this way.
The screen is in high gloss and very reflective if you have a window or bright light source behind you, but in normal veiwing conditions it is perfect.

Number of scart ports	1
Scart sockets are places where you can connect other devices to your TV. If you already have a DVD player, a VCR and a Playstation you might want to make sure your new TV has enough Scart interfaces so you don’t have to keep crawling round the back of the TV.

LED-backlit screens can either be ‘edge-lit’ or ‘local dimming’.

Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the LG 47LE7900

On the LG website itself, the specifications for the LG 47LE7900 includes: Bluetooth, Plays DivX, Plays mp3 files, Plays Photos, etc. But the specifications here does not indicate these. Can anyone confirm these features are present?

Nettey asked on 08 Feb 2011
1. Hi. I own one of these screens and can confirm that the set has Bluetootht built in and can play mp3, video & image files from any USB storage device plugged into it. Can't vouch for DivX but if it is in the published spec it will probably work fine - like everything else on this great TV!

2. I own the same model L G, but I am very unhappy with it as it is not the same model that I paid for.

are they worth buying and are they good value £800 from tesco allcomments welcome thanks a lot

john asked on 02 Mar 2011
1. if your dealing with tesco o.k.
  
  A verified owner replied on 02 Mar 2011
2. I'd recommend these sets unhesitatingly but feel that (like many sets on the market) you need to invest in a separate sound system to get the best from them.
  
  At £800 they're a complete bargain - I paid around £1150 when I bought mine.
