Overview

The LG 47LN5400 is a 47-inch Full HD LED television built around simplicity and dependable picture performance. Its 1080p resolution paired with Direct LED backlighting — where LEDs are distributed across the entire back of the panel rather than only at the edges — produces consistent brightness and solid black levels across the screen. The native 120Hz refresh rate, enhanced by LG's Motion Clarity Index 240 processing, helps reduce motion blur during fast-moving scenes such as live sports or action sequences.

Connectivity includes two HDMI ports, a USB input for media playback, component and composite video inputs for legacy devices, an RF antenna connection, and a digital optical audio output. The 47LN5400 is a non-smart television, so it does not include built-in apps or Wi-Fi — a design choice that keeps the interface simple and responsive. For viewers who prefer to choose their own streaming platform via an external device, this can actually be an advantage, as the TV avoids the sluggish software updates that often plague older smart TVs.
