LG 47LX6500 3D LED LCD HDTV Review - Intro

 

The LG 47LX6500 ($2699 MSRP) has a lot of intriguing features, most notably the 3D display. It's LG's first attempt at a 3D TV (along with the LX9500 series), and we're sorry to say that it's a poor result. Sure, it's a very good 2D performer, but who...

The LG 47LX6500 ($2699 MSRP) is a good-to-very-good television, as far as its 2D performance is concerned. The black level was weak, but the contrast ratio is acceptable. The color performance is outstanding, once again showing where LG's strength's...

LG 55LM8600 3D LCD HDTV

 

Full LED backlighting with local dimming, when properly implemented, is the gold standard for achieving the best black levels in an LCD HDTV. But such a set also requires a lot of gold to acquire. LED edge-lit designs, needing fewer LEDs and less...

LG 55LM8600 3D LCD HDTV

 

Unlike the Nanos, the two LM8600 models are not THX certified but do offer ISFccc features in their two Expert picture modes. The 55-incher, our subject here, is nearly as thin as the Nanos. Its screen is reflective, as are most of today's sets, and...

LG 47LX6500

 

The LG 47LX6500 is a 47-inch LCD that supports 3D display, hence the hefty $2699 MSRP. The standard 2D performance was fantastic, but we suspect that LG has a long way to go in improving its 3D TVs

The LG 47LX6500 has a thin, attractive frame made of reflective, black plastic. The thin-necked base has a slight brownish tint, which may or may not fit in with your decor. The remote control, like the user experience, is par for the course - nothing...

LG 47LX6500

 

LG's first attempt at 3D, with poor results (though strong 2D performance)

Great color performance; Smooth motion results

Migraine-worthy 3D; Steep early-adopter price

The LG 47LX6500 ($2699 MSRP) is a good-to-very-good television, as far as its 2D performance is concerned. The black level was weak, but the contrast ratio is acceptable. The color performance is outstanding, once again showing where LG’s strength’s lie.

LG 55LM7600 smart TV review

 

LG's new 55LM7600, part of the company's 2012 range of Smart TVs, is a leap ahead of last year's model in terms of design, style and functionality.

The LG 55LM7600 is a fine TV which looks great, offers excellent performance and remarkable picture quality.

Much Better

 

After using a Samsung model, I was did not like the quality of the Samsung and got this model instead. It was definitely worth the switch. The 3D is way better than the Samsung.
