LS5700 by kuznetsov (Apr, 2012)I decided to buy this model because of good viewing angle range and better than average sound.
thickness
LS5700 by B.-Geraghty--Resident-Geek (Jan, 2013)Surprisingly enough to me since we bought our last HDTV in January of 2011, the world of HDTVs has gotten even more incredibly thin and light.

Remote
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 100% by by Luke-H (Feb, 2013)The LG AKB72915206 Remote Control works seamlessly with the LS5700 and will cost less than $15 shipped.
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 100% by by Blue-Sky (May, 2012)The remote is different and takes some getting use to but I love new gadgets so it's fine with me.
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 100% by by SWDavis (Oct, 2012)A lot of reviews discuss problems with the remote becuase it is a pointer instead of a standard remote.
Panel
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 80% by by B.-Geraghty--Resident-Geek (Jan, 2013)That's just what I feel we got with the LG 47 LS5700; this is essentially a high end TV with a lower price point because it doesn't have 3D.
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 80% by by B.-Shumway (Aug, 2012)It shouldnt be difficult to find a tv that doesnt boast the "3D" with stupid sets of glasses that just make you feel disoriented and ill.
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 80% by by B.-Geraghty--Resident-Geek (Jan, 2013)You have a cursor on screen and what is essentially a mouse button to interact with things; this is nice to type stuff on the screen as using number keys is awful (so it is superior in that capacity) but overall I find it cumbersome to interact with the TV in this way.
Apps
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 100% by by rxer--lax-dad (Apr, 2012)It's a great size for the bedroom and video streaming works great.
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 80% by by Erik-ArnesonThe television itself is great, and Netflix works like a charm.
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 80% by by B.-Geraghty--Resident-Geek (Jan, 2013)I was an avid user of the integrated netflix on our 42 inch TV (LG 42LD550) which did work well.
Network
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 100% by by Tammy (May, 2012)High def Picture is fabulous, the sound quality is great, unique remote that is easy to work, wifi and internet speed were pretty quick.
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 40% by by Edward-Gray (May, 2012)My new network has a guest channel, but that won't work either since the tv has no way for you to enter a password on the guest network access page.
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 80% by by B.-Geraghty--Resident-Geek (Jan, 2013)One of the other major reasons I picked this TV was when we purchased the 42 incher we had to express ship a 'usb dongle' in order to connect to wifi, whereas this TV is wifi ready; online in two minutes flat.
Video streaming
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 100% by by Chipras3You can fully control your TV with your phone, browse and start your different apps like Netflix instantly, type way faster with your fingers than with the Magic Remote, move the on-screen pointer by moving your finger across the phone or tablet screen, and it has an input selection button right on the main screen (something the Magic Remote lacks).
LG LS5700 47" | Rated 80% by by B.-Geraghty--Resident-Geek (Jan, 2013)Apps I've pulled down so far: browser, facebook, hulu plus, netflix (of course).
