LG's 2012 TV lineup

[bojangle]

why you all still worrying about trade-ins, and whether they accept crt or not?

if you read what I've posted, you don't need to trade-in and still get the vouchers.. or maybe some other freebies too.

ok, recieved my tv and am pleased with the pictures so far, enjoying it over the weekend, so never log-in here and sorry to those brothers that waiting for my reply via PM. Am replying now.

Personally I prefer the 3D quality as compared with previous LW5700/6500. Which was also confirmed by my friend who bought the LW6500 2mths ago and came over to audit and compare the features. Now, he's regretting for not waiting for another 2mths.

Infact the price selling now I can say is cheaper as compared to LW6500 before it was discontinued. The last price for 47' LW6500 before discontinued was around $2199. When LM series released, shops start clearing stocks by offering $1799 or $1899. So, if you compare last price of $2199 and now, the price is cheaper after you minus off the vouchers value.

Hmm..mind sharing where and how much u bought ur tv? And wat freebies did the salesman offer u?

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?

I have got no problem with my LG TV playing mkv files directly from USB drive. I even played it with 3D movie.

I have not tried it to play mkv files from NAS yet. Not too sure can it access files directly to my NAS. Anyway, will try it this weekends.

As for PVR, don't intent to use it because after reading some info. from internet. The external HDD has to be exclusively used only by LG TV that support this feature. That means recorded TV programmes cannot be played on your PC because the HDD has to be also formatted by your TV using different method.

What file format is your 3D movie?

i encountered problem connecting to my mio wifi router. no problems with all my other devices. but just can't connect the TV LM6700. anyone encountered this problem?

For those who are interested...

The flagship LM9600 is out on display..
True local dimming instead of edge lit.

But wonder what kind of impact on such TVs sales now that DVB-T2 is confirmed next yr.

 

[kahhiang]

Yep its true that trade in is not necessary after talking to the salesman.
I bought the 47LM6700 and they wrote for me trade-in waived off on the invoice and can proceed to LG at alexandra to collect the $300 choice voucher. Free gift only the HDMI cable plus wall mounting bracket. I bought also the 42LW5700 few months ago and regret now as I can see the picture quality is better. The wifi built in seems better than WIFI dongle on the LW5700 during movie streaming. No external USB module needed for the magic wand but im already using the LGTV remote on Iphone apps to control the TV which can key in the letters much faster.
It finally can play the flash 10 www.youtube.com compare to my 42LW5700.

LG 50PM6700: 50 inch Class 3D capable 1080P Plasma TV with Smart TV (49.9 inch diagonal) | LG USA

Just for info ....saw this plasma selling at Courts for S$1299 (exclude delivery charges) , think quite values for money.

No impact la...if you using Starhub SCV Box or MiO TV box. If not, then it will have no impact too until MDA completely switch off Analog Signal which is scheduled to be in 2020. By then, if you still have this TV...I kowtow to you

for pple who dun normally watch FTA programs thru the PTV Box... too muc of hassles with remotes & stuffs, non-subscriber..

integrated DVB-T2 tuner means 1 less box (assuming e above).

for pple who buy HDTV... will definitely relish the opp of better streaming thru digital than analogue and, very likely....it will b ALL Digital from 2013 rather than 2020..

guess its easier for me to wait till 2013 rather than 2020...

anyone knows where is the light sensor on the LM6700 TV? just curious

Dear members,
Im not too sure if any 1 have encouter DLNA connection problem with LM6700? I currently have a 42LW5700 and 47LM6700 both connected using Aztech homeplug to the router. Im using the DLNA service to play mp4 video over the LAN but strangely, 42LW5700 plays smoothly over the entire movie but when playing the same movie with 47LM6700, it seems lagging and somtimes the voice is not coordinated properly as well.
I swap the homplug but the problem still persist. Could it be network problem on the TV itself or the DLNA service?
Thank you in advancve for your advise and comments

Why not use Wifi for your LM6700? I am using Wifi N to access my HD files on my NAS which has DLNA enabled. No problems with lipsync.

 

[Eric Ying]

can the 2012 series able to read dts audio in mkv file ?

 

[kun1he2]

Looking at the reviews online (non-SG), it seems like it can decode dts in the mkv container... Best if someone local can confirm.

I don't own any of the above model you mentioned but i think LS series is not the 3D TV.

Hi thanks for the advise. manage to find out the problem. It seems like DLNA when playing MP4 with 1024x432 in 47LM6700 seems problem. But when I convert the video to 1024x576 it's ok now. It's weird that my another 42LW5700 does not have this problem

 

[andre_flea]

I use my LM6200 to read mkv from upnp with both dts and dolby audio and it works flawlessly. However, from if we pass DTS through hdmi (in this case, from my mac), LM6200 unable to decode it (yet).
I haven't tried using direct USB though.

can the 2012 series able to read dts audio in mkv file ?
