Hi,
My out of warranty LG 47inch LCD had a blown power unit, so Argos have kindly offered to supply me with a brand new set. My model is no longer available, so I can choose any TV from the catalogue for my original £900 price paid, or upgrade if I add the extra cash.
Ive narrowed it down to the LG 47LE7900 which is just £100 extra, but I can only find a review of the 42 inch model, which criticises the performance of the edge lit LED system. Apparently the local dimming gives inconsistent results, and if you are watching a dark scene then you can see a slim line of brightness around the whole picture edge.
Can anyone confirm if this is a major issue, or just something that you will see just occasionally, in which case I can probably live with it. Argos also have a Sony edge lit LED for an extra £200, but a user review on Amazon was very critical of the edge lit LED system. Is it just a gimmick to make the panel thinner which Im not really bothered about.
Also, the 47LE7900 is currently out of stock and its been ages organising the replacement, but the 47LE5900 is the same price and currently in stock the only difference appears to be Bluetooth and Picture Wizard, but I think I can live without these. I dont see how these two features originally made the 7900 £200 pounds more expensive before the price drop.
If anyone could recommend or offer any advice on any TV which is around £900 - £1000 from the Argos range, Id be very, very grateful.
Thanks everyone.
