LG Infinia 55LW5600

 

By now you may have heard all about passive 3D, how it might or might not be better than active, how LG/Vizio and Samsung/Sony/Panasonic are at each others' throats trying to convince buyers to choose one over the other, and how 3D TV is here to stay....

The LG LW5600 series evinced excellent color in bright and dark areas, along with relatively deep black levels and even screen uniformity for an edge-lit LED-based LCD TV. Its matte screen works well in bright rooms. The Smart TV Internet portal is...

This LG LED TV is relatively expensive. Its edge-lit local dimming LED scheme produces some artifacts and blooming; highlights were somewhat muted in dark scenes; and even from off-angle the picture loses contrast worse than most such TVs. The LW5600's...

While passive 3D has its flaws, the LG LW5600's 2D picture quality is very good for an edge-lit LED-based LCD TV, especially in bright rooms.

LG 55LW5600 3D LCD HDTV

 

Much like the format war that once divided us between HD DVD and Blu-ray, a battle between two different types of 3D-capable HDTVs rages on while customers wait to be convinced that any of the new tech is worth the trouble. One of the first to enter...

Decent black levels for an edge lit LCD ; Easy media streaming via Plex or DLNA ; Good, cheap 3D - under the right conditions

Passive 3D glasses cut picture resolution ; Confusing menu setup ; Neither one of the two remotes is easy to use

LG Electronics LG 47LW5600 47" 3D LED Black LCD Flat Panel HDTV

 

The LG 47LW5600 more than holds its own in an increasingly competitive 3D TV field. For $1530 (as of April 10, 2011), this 47-inch, LED-backlit set delivers decent image quality, great connected-TV features, and a pleasurable passive-3D experience in...

Innovative gesture-controlled remote ; First-rate connected TV with DLNA support, good 3D

Image darkens with off-axis viewing ; Audio is anemic, manual covers dozens of models

The stylish, 47-inch LG 47LW5600 packages impressive connected-TV features with decent image quality, 3D support, and an innovative second remote, at a moderate price.

LG 55LW5600

 

LG LW5600 series information: The review of LG's 55-inch 55LW5600 is based on our experience with the 47-inch 47LW5600 TV. According to LG, the two televisions have identical specifications (excepting for dimensions and weight) and performance should...

Affordable entry for 3D HDTV ; Four pairs of glasses supplied ; 3D effects better than expected ; Wi-Fi ready, adapter included ; Decent backlit remote

3D effects not as distinct as high-end competitors ; Pricier sets have better 2D picture quality ; Confusing consumer-unfriendly manuals

The LG 55LW5600 is a great alternative for those who don’t want to drop a bundle on 3D HDTVs using active shutter glasses.

LG 47LW5600

 

The LG 47LW5600 ($1699 MSRP) offers great color performance and an improved 3D experience from older-generation 3D TVs at a mid-range price. With an extensive library of internet content and very few shortcomings, the LG 47LW5600 is a decent buy....

Great color performance ; Improved passive 3D experience

Mediocre motion performance ; High black levels

The LG 47LW5600 is a solid LCD TV that has excellent color and internet performance. While it underperforms in a few key areas, the user experience and interface is very good. Until the cost of the unreasonably expensive active-shutter 3D glasses comes...

LG 55LW5600 3D LCD HDTV

 

So far, three manufacturers have released 3D HDTVs that use passive polarized glasses rather than active shutter glasses: VIZIO, Toshiba, and LG. All three use technology developed by LG. In our June issue, we took a close look at VIZIO's 65-inch...

The LG 55LW5600 came very close to earning a Home Theater Top Pick recommendation. I went back and forth more than once on the single issue that troubled me: the nonuniform brightness at the sides of the screen. Ultimately, I must come down on the side...
