2011 LG Models
LG 47" 47LW6500
LG's 47" 47LW6500 is an LED edge lit passive 3D television. The passive 3D isn't as high resolution as active 3D is but the glasses are far, far les expensive and many viewers find that passive 3D causes them less eyestrain.
LG 47" 47LV5500
We enjoyed the 47" 47LV5500 when we reviewed it this year. It isn't 3D but the picture quality was good, it had a robust Internet TV offering and the new motion sensitive "Magic Wand" remote was lots of fun to use. If you are looking for most of the features found in the top tier models but don't want or need 3D capability then take a look at the LV5500.
LG 47" 47LV3700
The 47" 47LV3700 is a very slight step down from the LV5500 series of televisions. Sometimes bypassing a few bells & whistles can save you a lot of money so be sure to compare the two when making a purchase decision.
LG 47" 47LK530
LG's 47" 47LK530 offers most of the features of the higher tier LED back lit models but the LK530 uses CCFL to back light it's LCD panel. It is a 1080p, 120Hz panel and it offers the full Smart TV online feature. We have found in many reviews that CCFL back lighting can have better overall uniformity since the light is coming from the back and not the edges of the television.
LG 47" 47LK520
The 47" 47LK520 is basically the same TV as the LK530 abaove but it lacks the Smart TV Internet feature. If you are uninterested in using your television to stream media or do you social networking you can save a bit by stepping down to this model.
