The LG LF7700 is an LCD TV with built-in FreeSat-HD. This is the first LG set with built-in FreeSat, following a partnership deal between LG and FreeSat in January 2009.[1] Until then Panasonic were the only brand to offer TVs with built-in FreeSat.[2] As of 2009[update] the LF7700 is the only LG product with built-in FreeSat currently on the market; LG hinted that the partnership could be extended to other products.[3]

Reception
[edit]What Hi-Fi? reviewed the 37 inch model and said: "Considering this is LG’s first foray into the world of Freesat TVs, the 37LF7700 should be applauded".[5] They also reviewed the 47 inch model and wrote: "Whether you want Freesat or not, this is the pick of the big-screen bargains."[6] CNET called the 42 inch model "an admirable effort at a reasonable price."[7] TechRadar summarized: "It holds its own against the competition, but as ever the Freesat tuner comes at the expense of better features and performance, and it lacks good multi-sat options".[8] The Register said it "delivers good image and audio quality" and it's "pretty good value for money".[9]
