This 47-inch LCD's high-tech, glossy-black case and Photoshop-quality menus ooze so much in-crowd style, you'll have to upgrade the rest of your apartment just to keep up with its sexy accruements. Picture doesn't really disappoint either: a bright-but not over saturated-image brought out the details of our Blu-ray test movie while maintaining a very natural look throughout. The LG did stumble though when de-interlacing some 24 FPS video sources, creating jaggies and moiré. And its noise reduction left us wishing the studio had picked a better print to transfer to Blu-ray. In last year's market, this TV would've killed. But considering the tumbling prices of 2007, we expect nothing short of perfection at this dollar-to-inch ratio.
