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 review

Comes with seven pairs of 3D glasses as standard

3D picture quality is very good ; cheap glasses ; smart functionality

Issues with motion and upscaling ; can sound aggressive

A solid buy, especially if 3D figures high on your agenda

LG 42LW550T review

Excellent, affordable passive 42-inch 3D TV set with useful multimedia options

Seven 3D glasses included for free ; Relatively relaxing passive 3D pictures ; No 3D flicker ; Bright and punchy images ; Fair value

Lack of 3D detail ; Slightly jagged contours in 3D ; Poor input lag

LG's passive Cinema 3D technology has so far proved hit and miss. The 47LW550T impressed, while the 55LW650T disappointed, the 42-inch 42LW550T arrives with mixed expectations.

LG 47LW550T review

LG's new 47-inch 3D LED screen makes a convincing argument for passive 3D

Impressive Smart TV functions ; Excellent contrast level ; Extensive picture adjustments ; Fuss-free 3D implementation ; Audio performance

Crosstalk evident with some 3D material ; Overall design could be improved ; Passive 3D brings a drop in resolution

LG is unique in the UK TV market by offering both active and passive 3D sets. The 47LW550T is one of the latter, dubbed Cinema 3D by the Korean brand to help confused consumers realise that it shares the same glasses technology that they've become used...

LG 47LW550T review

Up until now, most of the marketing activity for 3D has been based around active systems, which require expensive (c. £100 per pair) LCD-shutter glasses which need charging, and can have issues with synchronisation to the 3D frame-switching signal.

Comes with multi pairs of glasses; half-res images are good; wide viewing angle

Inconsistent 2D-to-3D conversion; poor audio

LG 47LW550T LED 3D TV

The LG 47LW550T is one of the LG models that is currently causing a sensation in the consumer market because of its enhanced features. This 47-inch LG is unusual as it utilises both active and passive 3D and offers all you need to provide the ultimate...

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,...

The LG 42LW550T is capable of displaying images with a genuine sense of 3D but its pictures failed to get us excited. LG 42LW550T is tagged with LG, 42LW550T, review, 3D, LED television and 42-inch. Select a tag (LG, for example) to find everything on...

LG 47LW550

Performs well in virtually every area and makes a compelling argument for Passive 3D ..

Overall 3D performance, colour reproduction, black levels

Some 3D crosstalk, motion trailing

As the first 3D alternative to the established active shutter set, LG's 47LW550 makes a convincing argument for Passive extra dimensional technology. Apart from a few minor niggles it also makes a pretty good day to day 2D screen as well.

Great 3D TV for price

You may be able to find a better TV at the full retail of $800, but if you catch it on sale (I somehow caught it at $550), this is an amazing buy for a full-featured 3D TV. If you don't already have a sound setup, do yourself a favor and spend a couple...

Set-up was easy (though having a friend to help guide the TV into the stand helped). Looks thin and stylish on the stand ; Picture looked great out of the box, requiring no tweaks for color or even brightness. Still looks fabulous 10 months after...

I specified that the 3D looks good *in* 3D movies / shows, because the 2D to 3D conversion is a pointless gimmick, as it seems to be in all 3D TV's. Not worth bothering with ; Touch sensors on front of TV for power, volume, channel, etc. have no...
