5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful TV with a cool remote March 21, 2012

By GKCMilner

Size Name:47-Inch|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have been using my TV for about 4-days now. I know Amazon has a separate shipping/packaging review area so I won't let what happened reflect on this rating, but I do want to mention that the TV was shipped in the store box with no additional packaging or protection. The first TV arrived with a cracked screen, but Amazon overnighted another TV (packed the same way) and it arrived OK.

I bought this TV based on my experience testing one at a local electronics store. I was really impressed with the 3D quality using passive glasses which was a requirement for me (I did not want active shutter); I also really liked the remote. I found it super easy to type in the search fields and to make on-screen selections. It's very accurate and easy to use. And since the TV also has an IR receiver I was also able to add the TV to my Logitech Harmony 880 remote as well.

It has taken some time learning how to use all the TV features correctly because the owner's manual is weak, which is probably my biggest complaint. It took me a while to figure out what all the 3D setup options were and what all the selections were for. The on-screen interface is very cool and super easy to navigate; especially with the magic remote. The only thing lacking that I wish it had is Pandora radio. There must be some legal reason because when I use the TVs web browser and go to Pandora.com there is no audio. IN LG SmartTV there are a lot of free apps, including some cool 3D programing.

Picture quality is great with plenty of brightness. I was impressed that it was to my liking right out of the box. There is a short setup process when you first turn it on that lets you turn the energy saving feature on/off (I chose off) and if the TV is in a store/home (I chose home).... It has no more or less light bleeding than any other LED TV I sampled, and has no light leakage. My Samsung had a more even backlighting, but that is only noticeable when it's a black screen; and seems to be a problem with a lot of LED TVs (all the ones I looked at anyway. One thing I would like to point out is that I seem to get the best 3D experience when the room is completely dark. I normally watch TV with a soft light behind the TV, but I now turn it off when I'm watching 3D. Glare also really impacts the 3D quality.

To top all of this off, the TV is one of the most beautiful sets on the market. I replaced a 40" Samsung LCD, and I was worried that this 47" might be too big in the same space; but because it is almost frameless it is only 1" wider (the Samsung had a distracting thick, high gloss frame). It has a sleek modern design with brushed metal accents. The stand is a very heavy plastic with a matching brushed metal finish.

All-in-all I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I feel I got a great price and I love the package deal from Amazon that included LG AG-F216 Cinema 3D Glasses Family Pack (6-Pairs) for 2011 LG 3D LED-LCD HDTVs and the LG NB3520A 300W Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer.

***UPDATE***

After using it a bit more I wanted to add a couple things:

The light bleeding I mentioned earlier is only noticible on the initial startup splash screen where the LG logo is on a black background. Once the TV warms up there is almost no noticable light bleed on dark scenes. I am very happy with this.

When watching a movie from a flash drive, the play, pause, forward, rewind, buttons on my Harmony remote don't do anything. I have to use the magic remote.

We watched the Immortals in 3D and the effects were nothing short of amazing. We are so happy with this TV.

***UPDATE 2***

If internet access and Apps are important to you, you might be disappointed. To me the LG Smart TV Apps are pretty much worthless. I like Netflix, Amazon VOD, Pandora Radio, iHeart Radio, and Slacker Radio. The only one that this TV has is Netflix (it does work well). The TV has a decent web browser, but when I go to any of the radio websites they block the sound. Navigating Amazon Prime VOD is just a terrible experience and not worth the effort. I will be connecting my Logitech Review back to the TV. Bottom-line: Great hardware, disappointing web connectivity.

If this were a 10-star rating system I'd give the TV an 8.5

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart, and Easy to Use May 3, 2012

By Rex Kullmann VINE™ VOICE

Size Name:55-Inch|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

This handsome TV features a thin bezel and modern look, ease of use with attractive menus and very good picture quality.

Set Up

Like all other flat panel TVs, once you unbox the set, you'll need to assemble and attach the stand. LG's stand seems a little flimsy. There's some give when you touch the TV and the manual gives specific instructions on where you should grab the TV when you pivot it on the stand. I've had no problems, but a more substantial feel would be comforting.

When you first turn on the TV, it takes you through a few easy steps to set it up. Pairing with the remote, joining your wi-fi network, choosing your energy saving preferences and the like. My TV also found a software update once it was connected to my wi-fi and prompted me to upgrade. Easy.

Performance and The Flaw

I'm a TV production veteran of many years. I'm really picky about picture quality in some respects, but don't care a bit about some of the things some TV reviewers seem obsessed about. What you can see with test signals isn't very important. What matters, in my humble opinion, is what you are seeing when you sit down to watch. Are you watching the movie or watching how your TV performs? The LG's picture quality is very good, but there's one Flaw that takes me out of the moment and makes me pay attention to the TV.

The LG 6700 uses LED edge lighting. It results in splotchy light leaks around the perimeter of the screen. The Flaw is visible during dark scenes and in a darkened viewing room. How bad is it? It's invisible 99% of the time, but when the movie ends and the credits come up, there's those glowing globs around the edges. When the hero goes into the haunted house with a flashlight, there's those ghosts all around him.... Turning on the Energy Saver feature, which reduces the backlight when the room is dark, lessens The Flaw somewhat.

It's pretty easy to overlook The Flaw since the LG has a great picture otherwise. Good, well saturated color, plenty of contrast and good brightness. 3D performance is stunning. If you want to change something, you'll find every adjustment you can think of in the settings menu. So overall, I rate the LG's picture very good despite The Flaw.

This LG is one of the many new TVs that use glossy screens. Glossy screens give a more vivid and colorful picture than non-glossy screens, but at a cost. They are much more reflective. Is a glossy screen for you? Pretend your TV screen is a mirror. If you're sitting on your sofa looking at that mirror, would you see a strong light source, like an unshaded lamp or a window? If so, you'll prefer a TV with a non-glossy screen.

This LG's audio performance is mediocre. There is an EQ built-in the settings menu, but using it to boost the bass makes little difference. The speakers just can't reproduce it. While the audio is fine for dialog, I think LG assumes you'll use a sound system if you care about fidelity.

3D

The LG uses passive 3D glasses. They produce a good 3D viewing experience and have an advantage over active shutter glasses in that they are much cheaper to buy, don't use batteries, and are universal among brands. Next time you see a Real D 3D movie in the theatre, hang on to your glasses. They work fine with this TV. You get 6 pair of 3D glasses with this LG. Your local Best Buy carries additional glasses from LG and Real D including kid sizes and clip-ons and high-priced premium stylish ones.

Here's the part of the review where I expected to dismiss the 2D to 3D feature. The LG, like many new BluRay players, will synthesize 3D from regular 2D content. Darned if it doesn't work pretty well. It's not as good as real 3D, of course, and you probably won't use it that much. (Are you going to start watching CNN in 3D every night?) But for a few choice programs, it's surprisingly good.

There's a button on the remote that toggles 3D on and off with one button press. All in all, LG has done everything possible to make 3D simple to enjoy with a minimum of fuss. Push the 3D button, put on the glasses and eat your popcorn.

Smart TV

This TV has apps, just like your smart phone. There is no longer a menu where you adjust picture and sound settings. There's an app that does that. There are apps to switch inputs, search for available video you can download, browse the internet, turn 3D on and off, display media from your smart phone or computer, display the user's manual and on and on. 21 apps come preloaded on the LG, and you can download more. Most of those are gateways to other content, including a lot of children's programming. Most are free.

You can get to the apps you've installed through the My Apps menu, or through the home screen which also has a "Premium" menu where you'll find Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and more. The "3D World" menu has a number of streamable 3D programs. Most menu screens keep the program you were watching when you entered the home screen boxed in the upper left corner. You can select it to close the menu and return to your program.

LG's operating system seems rock solid, but some of the apps are buggy. The internet browser, for instance, seems impressive at first with tabbed browsing and flash installed. But some websites will lock it up, even to the point where it's difficult to make the browser quit. And while flash is present, using it will bring a warning that you're using an old version and it won't be supported for long. Another app, AccuWeather, gave me a face full of error messages when I tried to add Fort Lauderdale to my favorite cities.

Still, LG has sent out at least one update since my set was built, so there's reason to believe the bugs will get squished eventually.

Media Link allows you--theoretically--to view your computer's media files on the LG's screen. It requires a third party app, Plex, to be installed on your computer. I have a MacBook, and the Apple version of Plex crashed immediately when I launched it. No Media Link for me!

The Remote

LG has gone its own way with the remote control. Instead of a wand with a zillion buttons, you get a wand with a few buttons that works like a Wii controller. You wave it in the air to move a cursor on the screen. It's clever, but I have gripes.

First of all, the buttons are mostly surfaces flush with the face of the remote. Also, there is no light or glow-in-the-dark lettering on the remote, so when it's dark, you're left to fumble about on a seemingly featureless wand. I don't know how many times I've moved the cursor over the icon I want, then pressed the button only to have the muting come on. That's the button directly below the select button.

While you're waving the remote around, it stays on. When you're still for a few seconds, the remote turns off. So if you're perusing the menus and pause to read something, the cursor will disappear and you'll have to shake the remote to get it back. When this happens over and over, it gets annoying. Also, if you take a swig of your drink, then bump the remote when you put down your glass, a big red cursor pops up on the screen to spoil the mood your movie was trying to build.

While I struggle with this remote, everyone else in my household like it. Pointing at icons on a big screen is much better for them than searching for the right button on a crowded remote. Ordinarily, I put the original remote away and just use my universal remote. Not this time. Everyone but me wants the LG remote. It stays on the coffee table. But I'm not out of luck.

Even though the LG remote is an RF remote, the TV accepts IR signals, so my universal remote will work with it. Well, up to a point. I can navigate using arrow keys, but there is no button to call up the "home" or "My Apps" menu. The upshot is that I'll be able to do all the non-smart functions with the universal remote, but apps and on-line content will require the LG remote.

The Bottom Line

The LG is a smart, easy-to-use TV with a lot of really cool features. Picture quality is very good and highly adjustable. Plus it's a handsome piece of hardware with its thin frame and nearly all-glass face. Yes, I have a few gripes, but there were plenty of cool surprises to offset them. Five stars. Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall good product, minor flaws March 6, 2012

By koty183

Size Name:47-Inch

I can't say for the speakers on this set (I use an external system and the built in ones have never been used), so other people talking about it being muffled, I can't say.

What I can say is the picture quality is wonderful. This TV is light, good quality picture, Passive 3D (big for me), and has no noticeable delay when gaming.

Some problems, to get the PQ so good, they went with a glossy screen (seems to be somewhat the norm now) and this causes some reflections, but nothing too bad.

The remote took some getting used to, but I have a universal remote if I just need to switch inputs. The remote it comes with is great in my opinion for navigating the menus and store, etc. It does a good job.
One minor annoyance, if you move the remote a bit (move the table it's on, drop it, knock it off the couch, etc) it makes the cursor appear for a few seconds. This happened when watching netflix, but nothing too bad.

The reason I gave it 4 stars is the netflix and hulu apps work well, but have this weird glitch that would happen every 5 minutes where it looks like it just panics and shows a lot of random cached pixels. I'm hoping this is a software issue that can be fixed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV but let me tell you about Amazon's TV "Price Match" and "Enhanced Delivery" June 1, 2012

By SmartConsumer

Size Name:55-Inch|Amazon Verified Purchase

Let me say that the actual tv, itself, is FANTASTIC. The picture is crystal clear, it is thin as a razor, and it's by far the best 3d technology on the market.

That being said, let me tell you about Amazon's "services" on their TV price match and enhanced delivery.

First the price match. I bought this tv new for $1,499.00 on Amazon (from Amazon) with free shipping. Because the tv qualified for Amazon's "price match", I checked out one of their qualified competitors and saw that it was $1,449.00 with free shipping (there's a list of websites and they will only match if the price comes from one of those websites). So I was excited to call up Amazon and get a $50 refund, right? Seemed pretty straight forward.

Well, it turns out that Amazon adds this phantom $50 charge to their competitors' prices in their "price match" because of their "enhanced delivery" (I'll get to the delivery part in a second). That's right, even though the shipping was FREE on Amazon, they tacked on that 50 bucks and called it a service, claiming since they (Amazon) were going to come in my house and plug up the tv to ensure it works (this is the enhanced delivery as opposed to just standard delivery where they drop it on my doorstep) that they were going to add the extra money to make it "comparable".

I tried to explain that the price differential was $50 and that shipping was directly comparable, but they argued back with me for close to half an hour. I argued this was a "price match" and not a "price + service" match and that at no point had Amazon ever informed me that I was paying $50 for a guy to plug my tv in (who would willingly do that as a consumer?!). They claimed it was built into the price ($1,449).... I told them I was misled as a consumer, believing that I was merely paying for the product itself ($1,449) and was receiving free shipping. I tried to explain to them further that I was not getting that service from the competitor - nor did I want it - yet another reason not to factor it in. They told me that I was still getting it from Amazon, so when I tried to deny the service and opt for standard shipping (I might add I didn't ask for a $50 discount from Amazon for the downgrade in shipping), they told me that it was not an option and I *had* to pay for the enhanced delivery...

Now on to the delivery itself. I finally realized that I wasn't going to win with Amazon so I waited for my order. The shipper told me that I needed to be at home between 3pm and 7pm for the delivery. So I took off of work early and got home at promptly 3pm. About 6:30, the shipper called me and stated that my tv never "made it on the truck" and that they wanted to come back the same time the next day. They said they were really sorry and that I would be the first order delivered so I wouldn't have to wait so long. So I took off work early AGAIN to wait on the delivery. Long story short, they did not show up until 7:15pm. When they did finally show up, it wasn't a "they", it was a "he". And I had to help "him" haul in my own tv from his truck, up my driveway, up my stairs, and into my house because, well, one man can't realistically carry a 55 inch tv by himself.

After helping the man carry my order in (what if I had been a petite woman or an elderly man? How would this guy get it in himself? He had no dolly!!!!), he started asking me to sign. I looked at him in disbelief saying that this was "enhanced delivery" that I apparently paid $50 for and left work early 2 days in a row for! Get the tv out of the box like you're supposed to, plug it in like you're supposed to, hook up the cable to make sure it works like you're supposed to, test at least 1 hdmi outlet like you're supposed to, and clean up the mess and haul away the trash like you're supposed to! These were all things Amazon told me he would do and were even on his checklist that I had to sign at the end. However, he said Amazon had noted that he was to simply come in and plug it up to make sure it turns on! Amazing! Who would pay $50 to have their tv carried an extra 10 feet inside the door and have it plugged up just to see if the electricity works?! "Oh yes, I see a bunch of snow on the tv - it appears to work great! That'll do. Thanks".

Anyway, sorry for the rant, but my experience with Amazon has been AWFUL. Just a word to the wise - beware the enhanced delivery and price match guarantee. It sounds good on the outside, but when it comes down to it, THE TV THAT YOU WANT TO PRICE MATCH MUST BE AT LEAST $50.00 CHEAPER FOR YOU TO GET REFUNDED A SINGLE PENNY!!!!!!! Also, make sure you get your money's worth from your "enhanced delivery" that you're secretly paying an extra $50 for!!! Make Amazon give you the EXACT details IN WRITING of what you'll get with that service! Read more ›
