FULL HD 1080p RESOLUTION
Displays HDTV programs in full 1920 x 1080p resolution for a more detailed picture.

INTELLIGENT SENSOR
Unlike other sensors which can only sense brightness of ambient light, LG`s "Intelligent Sensor" uses 4,096 sensing steps to evaluate its surroundings. Using a sophisticated algorithm, the LG processes picture quality elements including brightness, contrast, color, sharpness and white balance. The result is a picture optimized for it`s surroundings, more pleasing to watch and which can also save up to 50% in power consumption.

24p REAL CINEMA
Hi-def movies run at the 24 frames per second speed that they were originally filmed in, making your home-cinema experience one step closer to a "Real Cinema" experience.

CLEAR VOICE TECHNOLOGY
Automatically enhances and amplifies the sound of human voice frequency range to provide high-quality dialogue when background noise swells.

LG SIMPLINK
Allows for convenient control of other LG SimpLink products using the existing HDMI connection.

Not a High End tv

"I bought this TV because its a good deal for a high end tv with 120 hz and good contrast. Hooked it up to my ps3 via HDMI and watched Transformers on blu ray.
