LG 42LV3700 42-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LED HDTV with Smart TV

The purchase through Amazon and its supplier was great, no problems .. The smart LG TV good works with a great image, lead to believe that with a stick of somas smart and do not control is not availble yet. They are published in television applications that are not yet available (Hulu-Plus). a lot of software to use a smart TV is not working or ready yet. I feel I should not advertise a product or sell if no readey to use, I think it will have to wait. He gave high marks based on Amazon's service, the purchase through a local provider would have been about $ 3 Hunderd plus tax, shipping, extended warranties and more ...

VIZIO XVT3D554SV 55-inch 1080p 480Hz 3D LED HDTV with Full Array TruLED, Smart Dimming and VIZIO Internet Apps

The 2D image here is very strong, almost as loudly. Remember when you moved from SD to HD, and all kinds of TV suddenly seemed ... wrong? As if the sets were not simply counting HD? The picture here is so clear, so deep and so high contrast colors that can have that experience again. Sometimes it seems as if the images are 3D in 2D. Compared to my previous games, is very confusing.

I made some changes in the review of the issues and conclusions.

Calibration
As usual, the outside of the box settings tend to favor a look that could give you a tan. However, the default "movie" tones things a lot (and looks a lot like what I have, after hours of calibration, making it possible to save the effort and just make a quick selection, assuming All these things come from the same box). Technically, the output modes of the box all appear to be a bit like a "hot" side, then you need to cool the image a bit, if you want the values ​​of textbooks, but I think the picture a bit as hotter the better. Somehow (although I know better) seem more realistic.

Display Brightness
The screen is bright. That's right. I found that does not cause a problem during the day because of the inherent brightness of all lighting shrugs distributed sources reflected (not put me in direct sunlight, but not advisable for most games). And, of course, the set looks great in a dark room. However, if you sit down and have some lights in front of her at night, can be reflected. Some thoughts even give an effect, prismatic diffusion can be a distraction. No big deal. It does not take on the appearance of some screens mirror. However, it is visible and may need to rearrange your whole position or lighting.

Remote
The sliding keyboard remote control works reasonably well, but has a list of problems. First, it is not on, and a remote control that this complex is a real problem if you are using to replace the cable box or DVD remote control. You'll find lots of tiny buttons, many almost flush with the case, it can be done by touch. The slide-out alphanumeric keyboard is good to enter the information needed to access the Netflix or browse the clips, but a Tweet refers to the biggest thing you can write comfortably. The management of multiple devices at once clever and annoying. The remote device associated with each entry to the TV. So if you tell HDMI-1 is your satellite receiver and HDMI-2 is the blueray player that (after proper configuration) change the function of remote control to the appropriate device when you switch the input. However, getting control of a different device, without changing the input (if, for example, has all the devices running through a receiver) is clearly much less manipulated.

3D
At first, I was having problems with DirectTV to recognize this set as 3D and kept getting the "Your TV 3D is not consistent with this resolution." This seems to have been resolved, and now I can watch football matches and re-runs of old shoes waiting for more content in 3D, along with others. The 3D depth is good - equal to the apparent depth in the Samsung X500, which is the best I've ever seen. However, there is no apparent way to use 3D images in 2D, but a trick, a trick is very useful when you want to see "Rain of Meatballs" for the 20th time just to see some 3D.

USB
I have not seen any videos of the USB ports. I downloaded a clip in 3D on a flash drive unless it is presented as a test of Samsung. Although there are three USB ports, none of them seem to recognize the clip (or better, even to respond to insert the flash drive)

The 2D image quality
I'm still very taken with the 2D image. Even the neighbors were not impressed with Vizio previous games are excited about this. Deep blacks, nice color saturation (the initial setup is a bit on the warm side ... but I think I like a lot). The brightness and contrast a wide range and down to the "torch" that many stores seem to like it. If you think that looks good on the platform of MegaMart, looks even better on the wall at home.

I've raised my rating a star after two weeks of having the whole. I still love that comes with a remote better, but now everything is calibrated and connected to my system, I have much to complain about.

LG Infinia 55LW6500 55-Inch Cinema 3D 1080p 240 Hz LED HDTV with Smart TV (Included: Four Pairs of 3D Glasses)

I bought this game a week ago, and I found the ring to test everything. So far I'm very impressed.

The disadvantages are limited and are not part of a game-changer. One of them, no audio outputs on the TV that is not an optical output. If you have a legacy sound system that does not have an optical input, is not the end of the world. ~ For an extra $ 25 or so you can get an adapter, which transfers the optical signal to analog composite or RCA coaxial. $ 100 to purchase one that will do Dolby Surround (I had to do). It was a bit unpleasant, and I was tempted to have a home theater system, but it was necessary for me (and save a few hundred dollars more), which has a lot of extra games and video devices that use. It's easier to run just a TV's audio output to home theater system and everyone connected to the TV to avoid having to play with the settings too. I think that is the dispersion of audio output with most new sets anyway. Digital age takes over, I guess.

The 2D to 3D features in this game is so fun. I have to congratulate the programmers who designed this set as I'm sure trying to write a code to suit every situation has some code visual hiccups, and all that is a great feature. Images with very well defined, ie a strong plan, fund, issue a middle ground, forcing the 3D image from a 2D image that works amazingly well. That does not give you anything, mind, but certainly boost the funds back to a very credible and impressive image often. But there are times when the screen image is very confusing and an approximation. This happens particularly often with women's shirts with words on them. The face looks like it will go far, the neck is pushed back, chest ... well, let's use the word you used earlier: hilarious. A little exaggerated, yes, maybe, but it makes you wonder if people have this project done on purpose? The speculation is probably not true ... encoders dirty, dirty. It's something I noticed, some not, but I think worth mentioning. 90% positive on this set of features, give it to you.

Navigating the game is a little weird, if you want to get through the menus. It was designed more for the magical remote control (uses, too) I've found, is more or less how to use a Wii remote control if you are familiar with it. A traditionalist as I tried to use the regular remote control, took a while trying to break through the often grouped. I am also in favor of advancing technology and all, but calling TruMotion 240Hz, or whatever, it would be easier to find for the laity, in the long run if you put an explanation of the context in bubble looms an item in the menus. On the other hand, shows the 240Hz feature takes a little more confusion to the configuration of the sensitivity range update framework from 1 to 10. They assumed people do not know what a hertz is, I suppose. Discover trumotions 1 to 10, I had to guess what was playing on the screen.

Disable 240Hz may be desirable, too, if you're angry letters and "trace" on the screen. It was a feature that is denied that the point of refining the photo you have solved this problem, I think. I found it once, but I have yet to find it again. Another item on the menu.

If you are an avid gamer like me, you want to clear all the nice little features that come with this device. There are about 1 / 5 of a period of seconds in the picture ornaments compromised. Halo looked great with 3D TruMotion bound and on, but 1 / 5 of a second is the difference between a headshot and betrayal (s). It was a miserable game played that day.

I had the opportunity to see the previous model (55LW5500) to test the 3D features of the old liabilities to the characteristics (55LW6500). There were rumors that could improve the resolution of any liability in 3D with 3D are essentially taking a picture of 1080 by 540 pixels for each eye. I have read about the improvements to this feature, and I think (the comparison a few days apart), the 3D image has been enhanced. I do not know how they have improved from what I can tell, the polarizing film on the screen would have thought was a stone, and perhaps some of my own psychological system wants to be better is being dragged in the review, but I think has improved. Hard to say without a 3D active shutter in front of me with the old and new models, but I'm satisfied with the image. If you want the image in 3D without active shutter glasses (which I did), I think this is a whole.

The picture is great, the colors are excellent, LED lighting works well, lightweight package and easy to mount on a wall, the image wizard gives you a very good approximation of what you would like a photo. In one sentence, I'm satisfied.

LG Infinia 55LV5500 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV with Smart TV

This is my first big screen HDTV purchase and I had a list of requirements to be fulfilled. He had to play a lot of video codecs natively (no need for a Blu-ray) and formats (avi, iso, avi, xvid, etc.). And the viewing angle and image quality was to be fantastic (as better than comparable models in recent years). This TV certainly less met my needs and was within my budget. My main sources are the video over-the-air HD channels files, MKV HD on my computer, and video content from the TV comes with applications.

Pros:
Very thin frame. As with all LCD-LED frames, these TV shows are only a few millimeters thick. It also has very little power.
-Great image quality. I have no complaints. Tru-Motion to hang and some calibration and looks fantastic. Entirely comparable to Sony and Samsung, with the correct settings. There is some grain Ness, if you get too close, while ensuring the air HD, but this is the case with every series I've seen, if the LED or Plasma.
- While this feature is not advertised, LG 2011 Smart TV comes with the "Plex" compatibility. Plex is a server that is installed on your computer and you can stream video / audio / images on wifi or wired LAN. It is much better than the DLNA in every way. I only use the Plex server, DLNA anymore because the GUI is much better and the connection now seems to be more reliable. Plex play almost all video files that play on any resolution (MKV, AVI, ISO, XVID, even without compression BD-start). There are currently some problems with DTS audio on anything but 2 channel stereo though.
- I believe that each unit comes with an IPS panel. More most panel lottery with this model, at least. Panel "IPS" for more information about Google that if you are not familiar.
-The magic wand from a distance. This TV comes with two remotes. A pattern that has been built on a light background and looks very good (big buttons). The second remote that comes with this TV is called "Magic Wand Remote" and is basically a Wii-mote. It is a Bluetooth remote control that moves you to move a cursor on the screen. This makes typing on the onscreen keyboard and easy to navigate through menus a breeze.
- Wi-Fi standard. This model comes with a standard Wi-Fi adapter, so you do not have to buy one. The TV also has a LAN port (Ethernet), if you want to go cable.

Pros:
-The biggest shock to me is not really a problem specific to this set, but wi-fi transmission in general. I tried to transmit 1080p MKV and 12.8 GB on my LAN 802.11g can not do without the video buffer every minute or two. I found that the most important factor in whether a file or buffer to gently touch via Wi-Fi is the file size. My wireless connection is strong and no problems of interference or distance. Not only is it possible to send large files in most LAN Wi-Fi HD and have to play without any buffer, so that certain files can not be seen. That said, no less than 5 GB of flow (including HD MkVs) unbuffered Plex perfectly and you have the ability to activate subtitles. A lot of small MKV is working for me still look great in HD (comparable to that of Blu-Ray). My next step is to see if an external hard drive connected directly to the USB port on the TV would eliminate buffering. I'll update when I try to do in the future.
-The speakers on this TV are terrible. I think when you have a thin TV you can not put anything better than laptop speakers large. Right out of the box, I thought the speakers were broken, it sounded metallic and distorted, as if off. After adjusting the sound settings a bit more reasonable sounding, but still very soft and has a lot to boot. To really enjoy this game, at least I have a sound bar. Almost all external speakers would be an update here.
- The LG YouTube application (and in case the YouTube application also Plex) are useless. You can not see the channel pages, you can not find specific videos and can not view live broadcasts YouTube. That are more or less subject to what they want to endure when seeking something and to make matters worse the application is very slow. I have a 12 MB connection to the Internet and the TV is in the same room as the router, so the burden of any random video that gives you fast, but the application itself can not be used. That said, once they get a YouTube video playing 1080p looks amazing.
- All other applications in general, are heavy and feel like they are in beta mode. Do not get this TV if you are primarily interested in Internet connectivity and resources. Built in the browser is slower than dial-up and does not support flash. Plugins Plex have other applications comparable to LG, but did not work. Plex is the best option as a single server, but may improve over time in relation to their plugins (applications). FYI Plex on television is accessed through an application called "Medialink".
-There is a bit flashlighting occasionally, but not really enough to complain. No opacity seen and not the trailing edge of light (good thing).

The only thing I will mention is that this TV may have disabled the functionality. I was reading the user AVForums impressions "of television and at some point in an earlier version of firmware, it seems that local television had attenuation settings that lead me to believe there may be an LED-lit edges. Do not take my word for she did not really know. It can also be built in DVR functionality if you connect an external hard drive (again, apparently, disappeared with a firmware update). None of these things are advertised and are characteristic of the versions international model. You can find more information about this on their own, but is actually a favor or against one, something to ponder.

2011 55LV5500 LG model has a price comparable to Sony and Samsung LCD-LED to make a good market share away from them. It was located on a Samsung or Sony, but after researching this model and get a great deal from another site, I went with the LG 55LV5500 time and am satisfied. We have to wait and see if it gives me the life of a Sony TV. I give this TV 4 stars, the great defect of being broken Internet applications.

View my photos uploaded. I recommend this TV based on the size and good image I saw this model at Sears. Purchased from Amazon after the purchase price. UPS delivered a box a little elaborate. Carrying case, said AUSYLJR panel. This panel is certainly full view of the panel, but in my room that is not a problem. I compared the website of the LG contrast ratio by two different contrast ratio of Amazonas and the agreement is not declared. The creation of the base with eight screws was easy. After my DW care helped me lift the TV to the top of the dresser was ready for the smoke test. But first I noticed a small incision in the central table in the masking tape. One star deduction for this defect. When you turn the set went into a configuration so simple, but I stopped short when I first wanted to find the OTA channels. I plugged some rabbit ears and let it automatically do a thing. Once done switch the input of an HDMI cable from my cable box and everything seemed fine. It was very easy to get a wireless connection. All I had to do was enter my password Linky. So I clicked on Netflix and I have a message of approval. Meanwhile, television began to update its software, which took about 10 minutes. After rebooting I found that erased my password Linky so I went again. Now the proof of Netflix.

I selected the documentary Restrepo, addicted to the headphones and started the test Netflix. Immediately I was impressed by the quality of video and audio I was seeing. Trust me. It was great! !

The few free applications LG are a joke.
The Facebook application is not very good compared to the PC site Facebook.
The TV image of the open seemed much darker than I liked, so turn off the power saving mode, which solved the problem.
I realized that when my cable DVR, pause mode, went to a black screen with a moving image display little savings they had less black around the moving image.
Amazon just dropped the price of this model. Amazon agreed to combine their new low price - only once.

Printing the first week:

LED lighting little escapes through vents in the back of the set.
This LG TV viewing is still an excellent image, but I'm not a big fan of LED TVs. I prefer my older Sammy LCD model 650 only in my TV room.
This TV was mounted in March 2011 and sold to me by Amazon in April 2011.
Amazon seems to alter the price up and down this TV almost every day.
