47" LG 47LM4600 1080p 120Hz 3D Class LED HDTV + 4 Pairs of 3D Glasses $480 is no longer valid -BG



NOT TRUE 120Hz... 60Hz and Black frame insertion (except do to the LED layout in the display) it's not actually done correctly. But this is a 60Hz only TV.

More info
 
You can also use code UMX83518 for $50 off this TV making it $479 AR shipped.

That's over $100 less than it was in this 5 star 33 TU thread 2 months ago. http://slickdeals.net/f/5641216-4...-shipping?

If that coupon works then this deal will get a lot of thumbs up. I bought this TV in that last deal.

Overall a really good TV and I'm happy with it... just don't get too excited about the 3D hype, it gets real old real quick.

jbrown 02-19-2013 06:48 AM

Throw in the bonus 3% back on Chase Rewards too :)

I am so torn on this set. I've read all the negativity concerning the false claims of 120Hz. This would replace my last CRT set and I had set 1080p and 120Hz as minimum requirements...

Can anyone who has this set comment on motion blur? Does the latest firmware help at all?

Anything over 60hz is a gimmick. Why you might ask? Because all source material is broadcast at 60 fps (fps and hz are effectively interchangeable). What this means is these 120 hz sets have to GUESS what to display on every other frame. It's literally impossible to do and approximation is the best that can be done.

The only reason for 120hz sets is for active 3D, in which each eye is sent a 60hz signal via the active shutter glasses.

Seriously, I just replaced a 7 year old 32" Samsung LCD TV. Motion blur was NEVER a noticeable problem, nor was the fact that it was 720p. Side note: if you plan on sitting more than 10 feet from your TV 1080p is largely useless to, but our videophile and tv manufacturing overlords don't want us to know that.

Used the coupon this morning (found it on retailmenot).

BodegaBay 02-19-2013 12:44 PM

Thx OP. I placed the order along with the $50 coupon code.

bytista 02-19-2013 01:13 PM

In for one. I needed a new hdtv since my 32" sharp broke from water damage. It has good reviews so i'm hoping this TV is just as good as my sharp.

rockmo 02-19-2013 01:18 PM

Hard to resist!!! Is the shipping a hassle? Don't want to ship it to work and don't want to take a whole day off waiting???

sbl03 02-19-2013 01:20 PM

Nice price. Wish there were deals for smaller TVs though.

I'm in the same boat. Really looking for a deal on a 40-42" TV for the bedroom, but I might just pull the trigger on this

it look like start charge shipping ...
for mine side $31.64 to CA

mcoope3 02-19-2013 01:41 PM

Worth noting that the free shipping only works to Residential addresses. I tried to ship to work and had to change it.

kaorukamui 02-19-2013 01:46 PM

Anyone know if this has an option to turn it down to 60hz? 120 hurts my brain.

hppwdn 02-19-2013 01:46 PM

I got one of these at Best Buy on the clearance deal awhile back. Tempted to get another, though I've been looking at the 55LM4600 for $699 at Costco if that's still available.

Very Good Price on a great tv! I have the 47LM but the Smart TV version and its outstanding all around. Should be FP.
Nevermind, its FP now. This will sell out.

what about blu ray disks and video games? 120hz is not a gimmick for those. Also sports are definitely noticeable below 120hz.

click2siva 02-19-2013 01:55 PM

Not a Slick Deal

Since i got all 3 items for $799 + Tax at FRY's
55" LG 55LM4700 1080p 120Hz 3D Class LED HDTV + 4 Pairs of 3D Glasses
LG Bluray Player
Soundbar

bdead20 02-19-2013 01:55 PM

Got the 47" a year and 1/2 ago. Love it! Never seam to use the 3D though it works great.

iPineApple 02-19-2013 01:56 PM

Such a good deal but I want the apps and build in wifi. So sad.

CLKeenan 02-19-2013 02:18 PM

No opportunity for a price match at amazon or Newegg (which offer the equivalent of free 2 day shipping for me) due to the tigerdirect specific rebate, correct?

hmongsda 02-19-2013 02:19 PM

Just got this same TV from frys 3 weeks ago. Its decent. I've used the 3D for mine own videos [10-15 minutes long each]. I'm not sure about watching a 3D movie...I think its pretty hard to watch a full length movie on 3D.

mechgt 02-19-2013 02:19 PM

Just used the code from the OP (UMX83518) a couple hours ago... in for 1. Thanks!

Actually 120hz is even more of a gimmick on Blu-ray movies which run at 23.976 FPS/HZ.

Edit note: I do own a 120HZ TV myself, so I'm not TC'ing as this price is good, just saying make your purchase decision by criteria other than the refresh rate (black levels, true 24p, edge lit vs direct vs full array, etc).

Free shipping, no tax, and no environmental fee for those in CA! Seems like a pretty smoking deal.

Similar Model Review
 
From what I've read, many are suspicious of LG's 120hz claim. Below is a review of what seems to be a similar LG model. Caveat emptor.

I just bought this a week and a half ago from Newegg for $550. Wish I'd waited. Wonder if there's any way to get some kind compensation from Newegg. They hooked me up with store credit a few years ago when I bought an item and it went on sale the next week.

Any thoughts on whether this is still a decent deal without the $50 off? I just started looking to replace my 32" when this popped up on FP...

miltownsho 02-19-2013 03:22 PM

Darn, looks like a great deal just can't justify it till I move in May.

BR movies are usually 24 fps. This does not divide equally into 60 but it does into 120.

What this means is that on a 120hz panel you do not have to do 3:2 pulldown which can cause judder during panning.

Video games from consoles never go over 60 fps.

That said some people really like the faked frames to make 120hz. If so that's somethign to consider.

I think it's pretty much accepted as fact LG 3D TVs are all half their rated hz... so the 120 is a 60hz panel.

That said I have the lm4700 and I have no problems with it for gaming or movies although I do miss the trumotion for bf3 as it's frame rate does suffer a bit and the lag introduced by the frame interpolation was worth it to me....

Thanks for the heads up. Would rather buy from Newegg for $550. Dealing with a TD rebate to save $20 isn't worth the headache.

uh im confused as why this is a slickdeal, you guys realize you can pick up the 55" 55lm4600 @ costco, for $699.99, which in turn your paying $150 for a sound bar......

or is it really slick for the 47"???

If you call they will grant the coupon, but they are saying it expires tonight. Ugh, I really like this tv, I had it for 20 days from sears in december/jan, but I bought the bigger brother 55" when it went even cheaper..

I want to get a tv for my mother, and this is a hell of a deal for a 47" led that I enjoy.

Then again, I can probably find one that doesn't have 3d which we don't need cheaper.

I'm going to pass, slickdeal though

srinyy 02-19-2013 08:28 PM

I called customer care of Tiger Direct they asked me to send the screen shot of the email offer or link to the offer to apply $50 credit to my order ... Please share me the screen shot if any of you have it... thanks

Wait, Costco has the 55 3d with a sound bar for $700 ? Or are you simply stating the $850 55 from TD is $150 more due to the sound bar being included?

fxclm5 02-20-2013 12:02 AM

td is $150+ for just a sound bar

I think what he meant was the latter.
LG Model #'s
LS4600 = No 3D, No sound bar
LM4600 = w/ 3D, No sound bar
LM4700 = w 3D & Sound bar

It's like having a TV with a flashlight issue say up in the upper left hand corner. I can overlook / ignore an issue but if it comes to my attention, I like many others can become hyper-focused on it. That's the way judder is to me, also partly because depending on the source material the "fix" can be less desirable than blur/judder.
A lot of people don't like the 120Hz effect. For most things I don't, but it doesn't mean it's a gimmick, it's an interpolation technique that varies in implementation from TV brand to brand & within those brands from line to line.
Looking at certain videos in 120Hz gives me a sense like I'm in a dream mode, my brain really objects to this, it can feel fake like the characters are floating almost 3D like. But it's all dependent on multiple factors; the content/material and how it was shot etc., and how well the TV handles the material.

But that wasn't the point that person I think was trying to make, and that is that these along with several other LG lines this year are listed as being 120Hz Tru-motion when they are in fact LOCKED @ 60Hz maximum refresh rate on the panels and instead they are attempting to implement a process they call black frame insertion. However given the budget nature of the LED arrays these and the other TVs are not able to even correctly implement a true black frame.

It's not 120Hz... it's locked. Read the above linked article from HDGURU. When they called LG on this B$. And many other consumers complained they added a FAKE ANTI-JUDDER setting in a firmware update but it does not change the TV from a 60Hz locked TV. I don't believe they have issued any such fake firmware setting for these series.

For those dealing with the Active vs Passive debate this is an interesting read:
http://www.displaymate.com/3D_TV_ShootOut_1.htm
http://www.lgnewsroom.com/newsroo...ents/61296
Of course there are those like Joe Kane and one other who uses non-scientific methods to conclude it can't be 1080P but interesting. I find the LG Passive 3D to be better to watch.

But it's all dependent on multiple factors; the content/material and how it was shot etc., and how well the TV handles the material.

But that wasn't the point that person I think was trying to make, and that is that these along with several other LG lines this year are listed as being 120Hz Tru-motion when they are in fact LOCKED @ 60Hz maximum refresh rate on the panels and instead they are attempting to implement a process they call black frame insertion. However given the budget nature of the LED arrays these and the other TVs are not able to even correctly implement a true black frame.

It's not 120Hz... it's locked. Read the above linked article from HDGURU. When they called LG on this B$. And many other consumers complained they added a FAKE ANTI-JUDDER setting in a firmware update but it does not change the TV from a 60Hz locked TV. I don't believe they have issued any such fake firmware setting for these series.

For those dealing with the Active vs Passive debate this is an interesting read:
http://www.displaymate.com/3D_TV_ShootOut_1.htm
http://www.lgnewsroom.com/newsroo...ents/61296
Of course there are those like Joe Kane and one other who uses non-scientific methods to conclude it can't be 1080P but interesting. I find the LG Passive 3D to be better to watch.

I think you misunderstood my point. I fully realize how 120 hz TV's function, that was actually my point. Interpolation is a guess, nothing more, as to what comes between each shot frame. Beyond the fact that the image can't possibly be 100% correct, to accomplish this the TV actually buffers the incoming video stream so it has two frames to interpolate. What this means is in instances where you want the most lag free gaming experience, 120 hz televisions can actually hinder gaming. Each set is different and I believe the "Game Mode" on many sets disables the 120 hz functionality.

Oh come on, judder? First off the person would need to own a Blu ray player capable of outputing 24p content. Secondly, beyond Blu ray there is no other source video that 120hz set will correct. Broadcast and gaming both do 60hz signals which judder would still exist regardless of the TV. Beyond judder issues, the human eye can't see much difference at rates above 60 hz anyways, but feel free to Google. It's all over the web.

In regards to my TVs, the only difference I could ever tell between my 32" 7 year old Samsung LCD and my high end 50" Panasonic Plasma and 61" Samsung DLP was black levels and solarization. It had a horrible contrast ratio (a hall mark of it's age) but no, I could never tell a difference in sports nor could I tell a difference in resolution (720p vs 1080p) unless I sat closer than 7-8 feet. I just replaced it with a 43" Samsung Plasma and the black levels are noticeably better and solarization is improved, but still not absent. EDIT: Also add ghosting, another hall mark of it's age, but that has to do with the LCD response time, not the refresh rate of the TV.

In regards to this set, you are correct, it is not a true 120hz set. My point was don't let that deter you from buying it. It's a fantastic set at a great price.

Don't care much for 3D, though would like to see a good deal for a >60 inch TV.

Any deals for 65 or even 60 inch LEDs. I see so many deals for 55 inch ones.

55" LG 55LM4700 1080p 120Hz 3D Class LED HDTV + 4 Pairs of 3D Glasses
LG Bluray Player
Soundbar

Any idea if they still have this deal? I'm hoping to score the same. It's currently $899 on the website without the blu ray player.

dood, this is shameful to be frontpage on slickdeals...... just shameful for the 55"

im not sure about the 47" but the 55" your better bet is to just buy it from costco for $699,
and save yourself $150 for a soundbar

55LM4600 @ costco, bestbuy etc is the same model as the
55LM4700 minus the sound bar

do the research, then come thank me for telling you to save $150 by not buying a stupid sound bar.

THIS, FYI my costco ran out of stock of the 55LM4600, went to bestbuy and had them pricematch it 2/19/13 - yesterday

i know costco has 2x year warranty, but i got to pay with my credit card @ bestbuy and not my savings account with costco

I am so torn on this set. I've read all the negativity concerning the false claims of 120Hz. This would replace my last CRT set and I had set 1080p and 120Hz as minimum requirements...
Can anyone who has this set comment on motion blur? Does the latest firmware help at all?

In regards to this set, you are correct, it is not a true 120hz set. My point was don't let that deter you from buying it. It's a fantastic set at a great price.

However, I was replying to what you said to jbrown. What he was talking about was what I was pointing out, that it's NOT true 120Hz it's a 60Hz panel.
But then you went on to say it's a "gimmick", by that logic 3D is a gimmick, adjustable back lighting is a "gimmick", those are subjective thoughts & opinions that was my point. It's a feature of televisions that TRULY offer it and this one CLAIMS to offer it and it does not.

When a company lies/deceives it's customers that is never a good thing.
Debating how useful 120Hz is or isn't depends as I said on the person, on the TV set (maker, line) and the content. Blu-ray players that are 24P are common so that's a non issue.
My first TV was an LCD monitor (hd capable) - truly amazing for panoramic nature type shows but poor for action TV or DVD/Blu-ray. The second was a plasma 2006 and the has been the gold standard for everything except weight, thickness, and power consumption :(. When looking at my LG LD550 on it's own, I love the picture quality and my brain is just fine with what at this point in time it perceives as what is normal viewing. Put it next to the plasma and it's not hard to pick out and see distortions in fast action.

I get that you get how 120Hz works by creating extra frames, but you seem to be focusing on the glass as though it were nearly empty (vs) the glass being nearly full as the quality of the chip / processor that handles the interpreting. By no means is it perfect and some sets / makers \ lines do an awful job of it. That doesn't mean it has no place or improvement in content, not just for 24P content.
There is no doubt there are a huge amount of subjective options that come into play as to whether 120Hz is necessary, improves, or hurts content and to me the quality of how it's done matters greatly, but this statement "Beyond judder issues, the human eye can't see much difference at rates above 60 hz anyways" is another subjective one. I can see the difference watching HD content between the Plasma, the new LCD, and the new LCD w/ 120Hz Tru-motion turned up.

I've left it on (some times intentionally, sometimes not) and had people over to watch a show, movie or they wanted to flip to a game. It's a funny reaction in most people because they start doing all sorts of strange facial and head moves in response. It's anything but undetectable to the human eye (again completely depends on the content) and really how much movement is present.

I'm not knocking the PQ of this TV. My point for writing is, it's a feature, you may think it's a gimmick but so would a lot of people say about any feature they don't use, have or like for example 3D. You may not like it or think it's completely messing up because it's not perfect neither is anything, but when processed correctly it can improve smooth viewing anywhere from modestly to significantly and can match or improve to a plasma 60Hz or better.

The big issue though is that LG is lying and false marketing a feature the TV doesn't & can't posses. I'm not saying that ruins the TV at all. I think most non-sports fanatics are running their truly capable LCD's with 120Hz in standard non-interpolated mode. That doesn't mean what LG did was OK! :mad:

Just 3 reviews on Amazon! Why is that? Doesn't seem too many is buying this brand and model. How is the picture compare to other brands like Samsung and Vizio.

Chatting with TigerDirect Rep. He indicated that valid date is 2/18/13-2/20/13.
I posted the link indicating 2/23/13 but he didn't say it was valid. So I end up cancelling my order. So buyer Beware.

geocacher99 02-22-2013 11:41 PM

popswala 02-23-2013 11:12 AM

This is one of the tv's I got my eye on. I would get it right now but but having a rebate instead of instant saving makes me hold off for now. You still pay that $100 rebate and takes up to 2 months to get back. So your not technically saving that much right now. Even though it is still really tempting

ETP 02-24-2013 02:09 AM

Where do you buy the wall mount in the manual? No one seems to have it?

dont ever risk yourself with TigerDirect rebates. they are the worst in industry and I got burned so many times and they never paid me and helped me out. also they pitch at you their rebate assurance policy thats just a bogus. I filed the report on it but no one even replied. be carefull.

I've heard bad experiences on the web as well but I've never had a bad experience myself. I've sent in two in the past five years and have always form mine. It does take a full 8 weeks though and I religiously keep copies of everything.

carloo 02-27-2013 04:29 PM

This rebate crab is risky. There is always risk involved. I don't like to take the risk on the rebate. I have done it a few times and I was burned couple of times so I really try to stay away from it if I can.

The only reason for 120hz sets is for active 3D, in which each eye is sent a 60hz signal via the active shutter glasses.

Seriously, I just replaced a 7 year old 32" Samsung LCD TV. Motion blur was NEVER a noticeable problem, nor was the fact that it was 720p. Side note: if you plan on sitting more than 10 feet from your TV 1080p is largely useless to, but our videophile and tv manufacturing overlords don't want us to know that.

not true

first off even 60hz TV's vary as to how well they can handle motion

The next variable is some people can just plain tolerate more motion blur than others

Next...this TV and it seems most LG's ( and a few other brands) dont have true motion interpolation built into their picture processing capability
They use a backlight scanning method to simulate frame interpolation
Simulated frame interpolation is not true frame interpolation

There are some professional reviews online( CNET) detailing the differences in the each

Whether or not you can see 1080P is due to a few variables

How big the Tv is
How far away you are from it when viewing
How good your eyesight is
How good the picture quality of the TV is

I already sent in my rebate, and I just got an email saying I wasn't approved. They claim I didn't send in the UPC code. HA! I kept a copy of everything. When I looked at what they scanned in and kept on their site, they scanned in front and back of everything, even the envelope but not UPC. What a-holes. I am holding in my hand a copy of the UPC code.

Now the fight begins, because let me tell you, I am getting the $100 Amex gift card. The Better Business Bureau is my friend.

Oh and buyer beware of the address they provide (the one in San Diego). 4myrebate.com is really a Florida company called Worldwide Rebates, Inc: http://www.bbb.org/south-east-flo...complaints
