LG 42LW550T

LG's 42LW550T proves definitively that passive 3D technology really does have a major role to play in today's 3D TV world

Seven 3D glasses included for free ; 3D viewing is comfortable and sociable ; Excellent multimedia functionality

full HD 3D not as detailed as on active 3D screens ; Very limited vertical viewing angle ; Uninspiring audio

The 42LW550T certainly isn’t perfect; there are plenty of areas where LG can improve things with its 2012 passive 3D range, and its key 3D reduced resolution issue isn’t going to disappear. But crucially, the 42LW550T’s smaller size does a handy job of...

LG 42LW550T

LG's latest ?Cinema 3D? TV is a good effort, but it doesn?t scream ?class-leader?

Good 3D picture; seven pairs of glasses included; vibrant picture; good black levels

Not the most confident with motion or edge definition; struggles with iPlayer

LG 42LW550T

The LG 42LW550T is a 42-inch passive 3D LED television also displays full high definition pictures. It comes with seven pairs of glasses that deliver two separate images to each eye to give the illusion of a 3D image. It features Freeview HD built-in,...

At a little over £560, the LG 42LW550T is an affordable option for those dying to hop on the 3D TV bandwagon. The LG 42LW550T may be a bargain but it still performs admirably

However, as impressive as the 3D tech is, the images aren’t enough to excite. The LG 42LW550T lacks the ‘wow’ factor that other high-end 3D TVs have. The LG 42LW550T has a high standard to live up to, but doesn’t quite reach it

The LG 42LW550T is capable of displaying images with a genuine sense of 3D but its pictures failed to get us excited.

LG 47LW550T

Tv has a fantastic picture, the conversion from 2d to 3d is a good idea and works pretty well, think it excels with scifi scenes (star wars etc), comes with several sets of glasses, played some blu rays and the clarity is outstanding, there are a lot...

faff- free 3D

This is not the prettiest TV-my Samsung is far nicer but at half the price you expect to compromise somewhere. The area where it really is so much better is the ease of use of 3D .The cheap and cheerful glasses which look like the sort of "pretend"...

Just Fantastic

I'm not going to repeat all the superlatives in the other reviews, suffice to say I have never been as satisfied with modern technology as I am with this TV. Even my technology-resistant wife is amazed and fully endorses the cost (rare event!).
