LG's 2012 TV lineup

[Just Me]

For TV viewing, any old school CRT beats the crap out of any LED where concerned. Mediacrap is way behind time where this is concerned.

LEDs are for consoles, HD viewing..

I also on LM6410, in paper it is not bad. But yesterday when checked it at Courts, the sales recommend Philips 42 6007 which is claimed with dual-core processor and better on image quality, and internet browsing is better which support quite some internet media website, such as Fushion 风行(which is very famous for movie and drama in china).

My consideration

1. TV SD image must be good, mostly viewed everyday (heard that LM6410 not so good in some review, how about yours)
2. Internet function must strong, support as much function as possible, as now more and more content can be found by internet. This would be more and more, eventually into kind of Internet TV.
3. 3D is least priority. But since internet is there and more 3D content can be found, it is good to have if want TV last for more than 3 years.

How do you lm6410 perform, especially Web browsing? can you try to view Fushion?

Thanks a lot.

Nowadays the TV resolution is much higher into HD, the viewing experience is largely depend on processor how to "boost" SD to HD. Theoretically, other than algorithm applied, the processor power is always bottleneck. Therefore power processor and its DSP is also important, like what happened on Mobile phone or Tablet, which are already moving into Qual-core era. Sooner or later, it should happen on these TV in my view, as long as you need more internet thing with higher resolution.

Mediacrap is lack HD content, let along 3D. though high premium must paid. Have to wait internet to break the ice.

I bought mine off harvey norman in funan. No need bargain as the prixe is listed there. Go grab it.

I had yet to tryout the web browsing. No offense, afterall its a tv with added functions so I do not hold high expectations from it. If I really wan web browsing I would rather do it on my desktop.

SD image is poor but still viewable, but on HD channel its good and clear for me.

2. Internet function must strong, support as much function as possible, as now more and more content can be found by internet. This would be more and more, eventually into kind of Internet TV.

as far as i know FTA channels locally will all be moving towards HD direction by the end of this year. There is really a difference in image quality while viewing from my LM6410 when it comes to HD vs FTA channels.

really? where u got this?

Given the quality of the content mediacock has been dishing out all these years will moving to HD make any difference?

Singapore

for imported shows... yes?

just the visual difference. At least while watching news can see the chiobu broadcaster more clearly.

Do the current LG models have DVB-T2 tuner built-in?

 

[JDelphiNet]

well ur glass crack is a remote problem. im overall satisfied with my lm 6690 and lm7600. i dont like 6410 though.

The glass didn't crack. It's the LCD Panel that did.

Anyway, was told that a 3rd party can be brought in to verify/check the cause/why the LCD panel cracked. Cost will be $60 + 7% GST. Customer will by default shoulder. If the 3rd party says the cause isn't due to user fault then LG will shoulder the 3rd party fee and will do the LCD panel replacement free of charge.

FYI.

Oh yes, has LG sent the engineer down to check the crack?

Strange issue

I am facing strange issue with my TV (47LM6700).

Earlier I was using with Wi-Fi connection. Recently I connect with LAN cable to test the TV's web browser and make sure it's working fine on cable as few users posted they have issue with LAN connection cannot browse the web.

It was working (able to browse) fine so I disconnect the LAN cable and start using the Wi-Fi. Since then it started to auto restart (on and off automatically) every few mins. Restart happens once it connected to Wi-Fi (internet).

The cable I used was using with my Laptop. If I disconnect the cable from my laptop then there is no auto restart, if connect back the LAN cable to my laptop then restart starts.

Some more its intermittent...Means one day have other day don't...

Called LG for the service. The technician came and said its M1 issue (his house also have the same problem without understand the mine) then do some test and said its really a M1 issue or the router problem blah blah..

Tested with his mobile broadband (he brought the 3G router)...it was ok. then I ask him whether can I connect my laptop also to the router...tested together it was ok for a while (like 5-10 mins) later started the same issue on his router (internet) also.

Then (finally) he said may be a motherboard issue and change the MB to test. Even though I didn't see anything he said that board also have problem and said will order from Korea.

Yup. Checked it visually only. Same thing.. didnt bother lifting a screw. Then they said can get a 3rd party to check.. but will be chargeable at $60 + GST.

As I said, why don't they do it themselves? It should be part of their post sales support.

Is your laptop set to static IP?

 

[mzabu25]

Is your laptop set to static IP?

It's on dynamic. I tried static also have this issue.

 

[Just Me]

for imported shows... yes?

What kind of imported shows? Hokkien dramas like "Tornado" and old USA movies from the early 2000+ era?

 

[kun1he2]

It's on dynamic. I tried static also have this issue.

Maybe can also try setting the TV's IP to static.

If TV still restarts when both are different static IPs, then the problem could be something to do with your laptop.

Btw, have you tried connecting other laptops/desktops to the network? Does the restart only happen with one particular laptop?

May also want to make sure that you have an updated anti-virus installed on your laptop and do a full scan - I suppose there could be virus out there which sends malformed IP packets to harm other devices.

Edit: Actually, come to think of it, I've seen my LG TV restarting itself before, at least on two occasions - no idea why, but it is quite fast, seems much faster than a normal power cycle, so didn't really think much about it.

Edit #2: Looks like you are not alone:
http://www.avsforum.com/t/1412321/is-your-lg-tv-rebooting-restarting

From the link, it seems like the problem is related to other devices on the network - even replacing the TV won't help.

Set to static on both (TV and laptop), so far no reboot. will monitor.

I didn't tried with other PC/Laptop. if the above didn't work then will try with other machine

Edit #2: Looks like you are not alone:

I read before that the reboot issue is only on LM8600 series

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help. will update on this.

btw..i wrote to LG about the trumotion (no deblur) feature they replied that all trumotion options comes with de-judder and de-blur if my TV does not have, ask me to screenshot and sent to them. I did send to them then replied ask me to update the firmware but I am already on the latest (I think 4.10.9). Even they don't know their products feature????
