3D Technology Checklist
This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use the checklist below to ensure you have everything you need. 3D viewing requires:
A DisplayFirst, you'll need a 3D-ready display--whether it's a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays have more processing power than standard 2D models for displaying 3D images in rapid succession. A Source
Your display may be ready for 3D playback, but you'll still need a device to read 3D content. This can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3 system. 3D Content
3D content--the actual entertainment, in other words--will be played back using the source mentioned above, whether it's a 3D broadcast from your cable provider, a 3D Blu-ray Disc, or a 3D video game. 3D Glasses
For now, the vast majority of 3D HDTVs require glasses for 3D viewing. Many use powered "active shutter" glasses, others polarized "passive" glasses. You'll need one pair per viewer, and they'll have to be compatible with your display, whether they're the same brand, or a pair of "universal" glasses designed to work across brands. HDMI Cable
To connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a high-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation feature bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second), for carrying the 3D signal without any loss of quality.
If you want to get more information about 3D, shop our 3D products, watch videos, or interact with other customers, we invite you to visit 3D 101, our customer center about everything 3D.
Internet-Ready Television
Internet-ready TVs use your broadband connection to deliver dynamic content, whether it's streaming video from Netflix, new music from Pandora, or a quick glance at today's weather forecast.
Although there is overlap, each manufacturer offers a unique bundle of free or paid services, including streaming video and music, social networking apps, online photo galleries, news and financial updates, weather info, sports scores, and a variety of other smartphone-like applications.
Manufacturers continue to add new content to their offerings, keeping customers current through firmware updates, and making a bit of research a prudent step in your buying decision.
Learn more about Internet TVs, how they work, what services are offered by different manufacturers, and exactly what you'll need to get started at our Internet TV 101 customer center.

MAKE DIGITAL DEVICES COMPATIBLE.
To build a digital network, you need digital devices. That's obvious. But unless those devices are compatible, it won't be much of a network. DLNA Certified devices work together.
SAVE MORE THAN ENERGY.
Earning the ENERGY STAR means a product meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. For TVs, it means they save energy both in standby and active (when they're on) modes. ENERGY STAR–qualified TVs use about 30% less energy than standard units.
FIND THE PERFECT PICTURE.
Get easy self-calibration with on-screen reference points for key picture quality elements such as black level, color, tint, sharpness and backlight levels. Take the guesswork out of picture adjustments with this simple-to-use feature. It's not actually magic, but it will sure seem that way.
VIEW IT IN THE RIGHT LIGHT.
Let your TV do the adjustments for you. Intelligent Sensor automatically optimizes the picture to the lighting and color conditions in the room for a more enjoyable viewing experience.
WISE AND NOT WASTEFUL.
With our Smart Energy Saving Features, you can conserve money and energy.
ISFCCC READY.
LG's ISFccc Ready HDTVs contain the detailed standards necessary for professional calibration of brightness, contrast, tint, sharpness, color levels and much more to meet local lighting conditions for both daytime and nighttime viewing. Settings are added to preset modes for easy access from your LG remote.
^ Wireless Internet connection & certain subscriptions required and sold separately. The Magic Motion Remote does not come equipped wtih all LG Smart TV enabled TVs and a separate purchase may be required. The Hulu Plus service is projected to be available via a firmware update in June 2011. The LG web browser does not support Flash 10 or HTML 5, therefore, access to certain web content may be limited or unavailable.
** For a small percentage of the population, the viewing of stereoscopic 3D video technology may cause discomfort such as headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you experience any symptoms, discontinue using the 3D functionality and contact your health care provider.

First the good:
3D is amazing. Passive 3D is the most comfortable, bright, and attractive option out there. I have owned Active 3D sets in the past, and this is truly the future. I did not notice any scan lines, or distracting artifacts when watching 3D as some have noted. The colors truly do pop, it's a fantastic set for kids and a large group of people to enjoy 3D.
2D...It's a roller coaster ride, plain and simple. Biggest fault is the light leakage, the drawback of an edge lit LED television. It didn't bother me at first, but after a week, I'm sending it back. All four corners leak light in black scenes, and on my TV, white 'clouds' of light poked through the middle of the set. It's a rollercoaster because, when the movie/game is actually playing, you don't notice it behind the image. The image is very, very good, in these times. But when playing a letterbox movie, or navigating a black screened menu, it rears it's head, and it's truly ugly.
Another aside is the off angle viewing. I've noticed that if you're not sitting directly in front of the TV, the light spillage is more apparent coming from the opposite side.
I didn't expect inky blacks, but the light spillage was something that truly turned me off, and got in the way of enjoyable letterbox movie watching.
However, other than the light leakage, I found the colors to be very good, the settings very good, and the image was plenty bright. The glossy screen did not factor in at all, just don't have a light source behind the couch where you're sitting and you won't notice anything.
Second fault, game playing. Plain and simple, I cannot play Modern Warfare 3 at the same level that I could play it on a Plasma. Even when setting the input to PC, which reduces the lag noticeably, it was still never as responsive as a plasma would be. However, when you set the input to PC, the picture quality drops slightly. I was a little disappointed to find out the excellent contrasty picture I had spent fifteen minutes setting up would noticably wash out when I enabled PC mode to my input. Something for you games to consider with this TV.
In summary:
1. 3D is amazing, the best I've seen.
2. 2D is very good.
3. Light leakage is very bad, clouding is apparent in black backgrounds.
4. Lag can be tweaked to be good, at the cost of picture performance.
If all you do is watch 1.66/1 films and 3D, get this TV. Nothing compares. If you watch letterboxed movies and play video games on a regular basis, I would advise a plasma display.
UPDATE: Paul's TV does NOT take back non defective TV's without a 15% restocking fee, and a $100 delivery charge. Buyer beware when using them!
UPDATE2: The 'white clouds' disappeared when I took the provide lint free cloth and gently massaged the screen, apparently it occurs when the screen presses against the backlight during shipping. It is funny that the people at LG or Paul's TV never recommended this simple solution.
I ordered this TV from Amazon even though there were other vendors that offered the unit for a few bucks cheaper. Amazon's customer service and 30-day return policy were important to me.
I loved the fact that when I ordered I could select a delivery date and time from the drop down box. I ordered on a Saturday and I received an email confirmation of the delivery time from Amazon on Monday morning and from the delivery company on Tuesday morning. The TV arrived today almost exactly in the middle of the three hour delivery window. The "white glove" or "enhanced delivery" service was terrific. The two guys quickly unboxed the unit, put it on the stand, and then lifted it onto my TV stand. We plugged it in, turned it on, and determined that it was working. This unit was supposed to come with four pair of 3D glasses, but only came with two. I noted that on the delivery receipt before I signed, and after the delivery people left, I sent an email to Amazon. Within an hour or so Amazon sent a return email with a phone number for LG Customer Service. I called them and didn't have to wait long to get a customer service rep who was very polite. While she waited on the phone, she asked me to email her a copy of my Amazon receipt. She got it instantly, and then arranged to ship out the additional two pair of glasses.
Setup was pretty good on this TV. You have to take a little USB key out of its plastic and plug it into a port on the back of the TV to get the wireless connection working. When putting in my wireless security key, I wasn't sure how to use the onscreen keyboard to enter numbers. Turns out if you hit the FAV key on your remote, the onscreen keyboard toggles between lower case, upper case, and numbers.
Thanks to Amazon reviews I read before I purchased, I knew there was a picture wizard so I hunted around a little bit and found that. It is a VERY nice interface for adjusting all of your settings (brightness, contrast, tint, etc.). IMHO, this eliminates the need to pay someone to calibrate your TV.
Once I hooked up to my wireless network, the TV was pretty quick to tell me there was a firmware update to download and I told it to go ahead. When that was done, the TV powered off for a second and then back on, and then notified me that another update was waiting, so I downloaded that one too. Evidently, the updates needed to be done sequentially instead of just going to the latest one. I didn't time it, but I'm guessing it was a five minute process and you could skip it if you want to. Personally, it makes me feel good about LG that they regularly provide these updates.
The picture is fine, but perhaps not as razor sharp as I recall my friend's 55" Samsung to be. This might be a reflection of me not remembering it right, or a function of the fact that this is 10" bigger. My son is coming over Wednesday and bringing a blu-ray disc, and he has a better eye for this stuff so I'll come back and provide an update on picture quality after we go through that.
I just purchased a Yamaha receiver and have my u-verse box, blu-ray player, and AppleTV all plugged into that, so I only have a single HDMI going to the TV. I also use a Harmony Remote to control everything (what a Godsend that is).
Overall, the Amazon delivery experience was top notch from scheduling all the way through to delivery, and also their very quick response with the LG phone number when I complained about the glasses missing. LG was very good with the customer service (although the phone call took a loooong time, I was put through to a customer service rep within minutes).
More to come........
UPDATE 1/22/12: I've now watched a movie with Blu-ray and have a football game on. I am very happy with the picture. The viewing angle, in particular, is very wide so it won't be a problem for my Super Bowl party. There is a reflection if I have a lamp on that is next to where I am watching. I expected that so I'm o.k. with not using that lamp while watching TV. Very happy and no complaints.
