LG's 2012 TV lineup

[tanjhj]

i read frpm us amazon review. LG passive 3D technology not best used with the 3d glasses they provided. the best is to use "


Uh oh. I had one other person report this to me. The glasses that came with your monitor are the RealD compatible glasses, i.e. the glasses that LG ships with their TVs. So in other words LG is now supply the wrong glasses and the only way you'll be able to see the best possible, ghost free images will be to buy a set of Zalman 3D glasses. I've also been told that the Marshall Electronics GL-C45 3D Glasses, which are designed for their professional 3D monitors, are also compatible, although I have not confirmed this myself.

Shame on LG for supplying the wrong glasses with their monitors. Are they really that clueless, or do they simply not care?"

"There are two polarizers involved for each lens, a circular polarizer and a linear polarizer. The RealD (and LG 3D TVs) use linear polarizers with a horizontal orientation, while the LG (and Zalman) 3D monitors use a diagonal (45 degree) orientation."


zalman 3d glasses is very ex so i can understand why..

May I know how is the calibration being carried out?
Where to get the disc?
Are there many types of calibration disc?

Thanks

There are a few types of calibration systems available in the market but the one that is from Disney is the easiest. It has beginner and expert levels, do the beginner level should be good enough. Anyway, the new LG TV also come with the Picture Wizard calibration feature, very easy to use but I think still cannot achieve optimal.

You just search Disney wow in google and you can read it in more details. I do not know whether is it available in Singapore but I bought from Amazon. There are two blu ray discs but only the first disc is useful, the second disc is just photographs.

If you are interested, give email me at khunlim@rocketmail.com

Hi, I totally agreed with you. After testing with the free 3d glasses that came with the TV, there is strong ghostly effect, really uncomfortable......very different experience from what I tested at the store. Maybe, the demo glasses are the good ones....not too sure.

Anyway, I just bought one pair of ZALMAN passive 3D glasses and another pair of ROCKETFISH passive glasses by OAKLEY from AMAZON. Both glasses have good positive reviews. It will arrives in a few weeks time. I will test with these glasses and give my reviews here again.

Just got my 55LM6700 from Mega Discount Store at $3349.
Payment by credit card. But only come with standard freebies.
I.e. magic remote and 4 pairs of glasses.
Trade in any tv for $500 Choice voucher.

One thing that I'm really pleased with the tv is that it supports Xinmsn Catch-up TV.
Have tested quite a few and this is the only one that has proven to be working.

Yah... Xinmsn catchup tv hardly working w most other smart tv.

Glad it works w this set... Thks for e tip!

According to the offical specs, it supports Flash10 and HTML5. But does not support Java or ActiveX.

Why LG setup so... Special rules

One thing to note about LG TV is that they usually stop developing new firmware for past models once newer models come out.. that means your existing LG TV will stay at its capabilities until you change it or it up lorry.. My old LE5500 has limited Netcast links and video/audio playable formats since its last update available and i guess now that the 2012 models is up, my LW6500 will probably stay put as it is...

The firmware update is hence, to provide aftersales design defects rather than to provide regular update for add on features..

I am not sure if other brands have a better support in term of firmware updates to even older models... anyone any experience?

where to buy the clip on 3d glasses?

Let me answer my own question....

Bought two pairs of clip on 3D glasses(AG-F320) from LG service center for $37.45

Went to Golden Village to buy another pair of flippable clip on 3d glasses to test, cost $5.... It works after I unscrewed the left glasses and swopped it with the right, vice versa. Use it at your own risk, don't know whether in the long run will damage your eyes or not.

Just got this tv and have a couple of questions:
- how do I get the PVR function to work? Can't find anything on it in the owner's manual, neither is it in the in-tv user guide

- the TV does not recognize mkv files from USB drive nor DLNA NAS drive. Anyway to get mkv files to playback on the tv?

 

[Raj1969]

Just got my 55LM6700 hooked up. Still playing with it.

Does the unit come with a warranty card or do we just register online?

 

[keanho]

hi, those with the new TV, for the aspect ratio mode, does it come with a similar hoizon mode (which stretches the sides of the wide-screen picture more than the middle)?

checked the specs and doesn't seem to have. how is the ratio of the normal 4:3 over the air show ?

 

[bojangle]

those who got the tv already, please share your calibration settings.

Looking forward for my tv on Sat.

Any tv will do. and you have to go to their designed place to collect the voucher.
Only selected model is entitled for the trade in for voucher.
Just now ask the sale person, 55" give 500 voucher, 46" give 300...
