LG LW980 Series

Bright screen. Passive 3D is convenient and inexpensive. Built-in Wi-Fi. Handy Magic Motion remote.

Very expensive. Blooming issues with LED backlighting hurts dark scenes.

Bright scenes look great, like the (one of the few) memorable scene in Predators where the group sees the alien sky. Dark scenes can also look good, with solid shadow detail, but very, very dark scenes where part of the scene is completely black can...

In fact, it’s thelovely naturalism of the Nano TVs’ pictures that became the most lastingimpression from our time with playing with the sets, meaning that we remain hugelyexcited about getting them on our test benches in the coming weeks.

Gorgeous design ; Mostly brilliant 2D and 3D pictures ; Excellent multimedia tools ; Ships with seven pairs of 3D glasses

Minor resolution loss with 3D Blu-rays ; Visible signs of the 3D filter ; Black levels a touch troublesome ; Rather reflective screen ; Input lag isn't great

So here it is at last. After a seemingly interminable wait, the new flagship model in LG's LCD TV range, the Nano 55LW980T, is finally here, bringing with it a massive feature count and, hopefully, LG's best flat TV picture quality ever.

Good design and build; massive feature count; good online service; excellent 2D and 3D pictures

Limited vertical viewing angle for 3D; occasional 3D crosstalk

Thin, great 2D picture, great 3D picture, plenty of connections, Wi-Fi,

Needs a narrow viewing angle to make most of 3D image,

The LG 55LW980T is one of the televisions of the year for us, with a great picture quality for both 2D and 3D.

Fantastic 3D experience
