NOTE: This TV sells as the LX9900 in the UK.

This model is the 47'' version of the 55'' TV that we tested in our labs, the LG 55LX9500

Everything we said in the original article holds true--the only thing that's different is the size! 

The only exception is that some manufacturers fit different sized televisions with panels from different sources.  In that case, our comments are only valid for the panel that we originally tested.  Contrast, black levels, colour handling and ghosting are all subject to change from one panel to another.

Manufacturers who do fit the same panel in all of the TVs in a range can expect the same results across the whole range.  The only factor which could be prone to slight variation is the brightness, producing slightly different contrast.  According to our own tests, and assurances from manufacturers, the results of one TV can accurately be applied to others in the range.
Pluses

-

Excellent image quality with dyanmic backlighting

-

Incredible contrast (turn on the dynamic backlighting!)

-

Objects really jump out of the screen in 3D

-

Low energy consumption and wider viewing angles than normal

-

Includes two remotes (one backlit, the other a Wiimote) plus two pairs of 3D glasses

Minuses

-

Dynamic backlighting can leave a halo around some objects

-

Crosstalk is more visible in 3D mode than on Panasonic's plasmas

-

3D glasses can be a little tight

-

Media player doesn't support M2TS, MTS or subtitles

The LX9500 is a great TV in both 2D and 3D. It reproduces colours accurately, is very responsive and has a great contrast ratio when you use the dynamic backlighting. The only disappointment is a little light blooming around bright objects.
