As a LG SimpLink product, the LG 47LG70 provides convenient control over external products using the existing HDMI connection. The audio quality of this LCD TV is one of the highlights of purchasing a LG. With the Clear Voice technology that automatically enhances and amplifies the sound of the human voice’s frequency by reducing the background noise and a unique invisible speaker, the 47LG70 offers the clearer and crispier audio experience. Moreover, its digital ATSC and QAM tuners provide hassle-free enjoyment form digitally broadcast content be it from cable, air or satellite. The only hitch that reported in some reviews is the sound range fluctuates when you flip in between HD channels and non-HDTV stations. But as compared to so many significant features, this minute flaw is nothing.
