Introduction
Editorial Note: This is a review of the LG 47LH90. Test results are for this model, but should indicate the general performance of other sizes in the LH90 series. The LH90 series also includes the 42LH90 and the 55LH90.  Read here for more details on series differences.
The 47LH90 is a decent TV with some nice features. Not all of the TV's test results were great, but it did have a 240Hz mode and local dimming. Unfortunately, we didn't think either was particular impactful.

The 47LH90 is currently available for about $2100.

Section The Good The Bad
Tour & Design Looks pretty good.  Tends to wobble on the stand.
Blacks & Whites Very bright. Black level is terrible, localized dimming isn't a great feature. 
Color Accuracy Better than average color representation. Color gamut is off. 
Motion 240Hz mode helped reduce blur. 240 Hz mode sometimes created artifacts.
Viewing Effects Handles external light well. Shallow viewing angle.
Remote Control Good design overall. Requires lots of grip-shifting. 
Connectivity Decent array of ports. They could have better placement. 
Audio & Menus Simple menu system. Audio wasn't great.
Formats & Media Supports 1080p. Has artifacting issues with 1080i content.
Power Consumption Not expensive to maintain. Eco features don't do much.
