LG 55LM7600 The 3D picture great anywhere
The set is beautifully designed--the stand is elegant, the wide expanse of screen a joy. The remote takes a little getting used to, but after a few minutes it becomes almost second nature. I mostly use my DirecTV remote or the remotes for my Oppo 93 or Onkyo home theater in any case. Just to get it out of the way, the sound is fine--as good as you might expect on a TV, perfectly o.k. for listening to most of what's on the TV. If it's a concert or a broadcast 5.1 movie I want to listen to, I'll go to my home theater, but most things are very listenable on the set's speakers.
The picture: when I first saw it at Costco sitting between a Samsung and a Sony, I found it hard to believe my eyes. The LG (it was a 47") seemed brighter, sharper, with more clarity and deeper color than either of the others. I put on the passive glasses (so much better than active shutter glasses!) and I, and a friend who was with me, felt out jaws hit the floor. I had never seen 3-D this good anywhere.We both reached out instinctively to accept a bouquet of flowers from this beautiful woman before sheepishly realizing what we were doing.
I went home, cogitated for a few weeks, and finally ordered the 55" version from an on-line e-tailer (not Amazon, although Amazon is one of my favorite sources). A friend helped me set it up-- at 73 I'm not so good at hauling 55 lb. TV's onto stands and screwing them together by myself. Within 45 minutes we had it set up and I had plugged in 4 components. I fired up the Oppo, and we watched "Hugo" (superb film!). The 3-D was absolutely remarkable. My friend, who usually says he really could not care less about 3-D, loved it and remarked over the phone later that he was still brushing snow off his sleeve from the opening scene.
I have been a fan of 3-D since the 50's, but I have always regretted that often there would be ghosting, crossover, or any of the projection errors that can strain your eyes and give you headaches. Still, I loved 3-D. On this TV, I have experienced none of these effects. The picture is crystal-clear, always in focus, easy to view without noticeable eyestrain or headache. I have viewed numerous 3-D films on Blu-ray played on my Oppo 93, and the experience has been uniform, even with films as darkly shot as "Immortals 3-D". I've also watched a number of 2-D films such as "The Tree of Life" and found a remarkable depth of color and clarity that enhanced the film over a previous viewing. This set reproduces film beautifully.
Some mention the flashlighting effect as an annoyance. I must be one of the lucky ones; I have never seen anything resembling flashlighting on the screen. Perhaps models now being shipped have been improved; I don't know. Happily, it's not a problem for me.
LG provides many apps and services on screen, one of my favorites being 3-D World with many free programs from aquariums, travelogs, documentaries, etc. These are well shot and beautifully presented, something for everyone. There's even one on pro wresting! Of course, you can access YouTube, Netflix, and other sources for streaming purposes if you so wish. Dependent upon your connection speed, these can be a little slow in response. They're not important to me, but if they are to you, you might want to consider the 8600 which has a dual core and should make streaming better. Or...get a good streaming 3-D player to speed the action!
I also got DirecTV's HiDef DVR package. There are two full-time 3-D channels (one is ESPN) and an on-demand channel as well as a 3-D Pay-per-View movie channel. There's a lot of 3-D available. I've noticed, by the way, that even feed from my vcr (yes, I still have a vcr!)looks great on this set. It's an all-around winner.
If I had any suggestions for LG, I would say that I would appreciate an easier way to choose inputs. Extra buttons on the remote might do it.
O.K. All I can say is that friends and family are delighted watching films on this set (both 2-D and 3-D), and I have not heard a single comment that hasn't been totally complimentary. My friends are great, but they can sometimes be ascerbic. I guess they haven't found anything to criticize on this LG.
I wholeheartedly recommend this set to anyone who wants a brilliant picture, both 2-D and 3-D. I would certainly buy it again.
