  Buy This TV. Picture is unreal. 3D is phenomenal!

  by LamarLopez on March 4, 2012

  Pros: 1). Very good picture quality in 2D mode, great color depth
  2). Decent 2D to 3D conversion, inexpensive 3D glasses
  3). Sound is very powerful for this skinny TV.
  4). Set up was easy and the smart TV features are great
  5). Very wide viewing angle

  Cons: 1). Noticeable backlight bleeding
  2). No Physical Buttons on TV

  Summary: There's no way you will dislike this television. Impossible. Even if you tried to nit-pick, there's no way your conclusion would be to go to another TV. The bottom line is that, if you're looking for high-end features and picture quality in both 2D and 3D, you absolutely will love this TV.
  
  WHY I CHOSE THIS TV OVER OTHERS:
  I saw the review on Consumer Reports that placed it as an extremely close second overall TV behind the $3000 high end Bravia-- at HALF the price. And it was ranked #1 in 3D. I own a Samsung and replaced a Sony, so this is my first LG. I absolutely LOVE IT. It uses edge-lighting and local dimming to produce crisp, high contrast colors and black levels. That's the latest and more expensive technology you can buy. There is a slightly newer local dimming tech that is marginally better-- but you won't notice or care, especially since it's TWICE as expensive.
  
  The TV is maybe an inch / inch and a half thick and looks great from an industrial design standpoint.
  
  PICTURE QUALITY:
  It's black levels are BLACK-- contrast is excellent and you don't see dark gray where black should be. In fact, the black levels are so good that I really can't distinguish them from the bezel.
  
  2D television was great. The TV comes in Eco Mode, so I punched it up to "default" to get a higher brightness and contrast ratio. However, I did very little else so make the TV look superb. Contrast was excellent and colors were saturated but not too saturated. If you prefer other settings, there are defaults for all types of viewing scenarios, plus feature-by-feature custom settings that you can save as your own custom setting.
  
  3D PICTURE QUALITY (Advantages of Passive 3D):
  I found this TV's passive 3D to be very effective. The effect was pronounced and worked very well. And, unlike a shutter display system, my eyes did not become fatigued after watching a movie. I tried Tron Legacy 3D and I jumped out of my seat in a couple spots. Passive 3D means you don't need a shutter to flick on and off to make the 3D effect, which also means the glasses are cheap, light, and do not require batteries. This set comes with 4 pair and extras are super affordable.
  
  GAMING:
  This TV also worked great for gaming. I tried it with both 2D and 3D games on my PS3. The PS3 recognized my TV and switched it into 3D mode when I told it to, which is awesome. There are settings for "game" in the display presents, but I did not find them necessary. To address a concern one reviewer had with "lag"-- I saw none. Lag is usually caused with some of the motion-flow effects the TV uses when you watch TV or blu-rays to reduce motion between frames. This adds latency, or "lag," to games but is imperceptible when watching a movie. But I did not perceive this at all, because I had set the TV to know that the #2 HDMI input was a game system. If you do this, you should never need to fiddle with anything. It's possible early TV's didn't have this feature, but mine certainly does. Since your TV updates it's software and firmware over the internet with the supplied WiFi dongle (or Ethernet,) you will always have the latest features. So don't worry about ordering one the doesn't ship with the latest software, because it will just update the first chance it gets anyway.
  
  APPS AND OTHER FEATURES:
  The apps seem fun enough, and in the case of the TV services such as Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, and others, you could use this set as a stand alone entertainment device. I happen to have a PS3, so I didn't need them, but the implementations were easy to use (I tried Netflix and a couple other apps.)
  
  The TV comes with a Wii-like controller for games and pointing. I have not used it much but there is great potential here. There are games and other features you can use it with, and the quality is a mixed bag. With time, this could become better. It's a neat feature with promise.
  
  CONCLUSION:
  Buy it!, but before you're will buy it, I suggest you have to check for best deal at: Ledhdtvbuyingguide.blogspot.com/p/lg-infinia-47lw6500.html
  
  Hope my review helps.

  Summary: First of all, this is my 1st purchase of an LED 3D type TV since they 1st came out. I have done extensive research on this purchase, from looking into the Sony Bravia NX810, HX800, EX720 and any other "decently" priced 3D TV. I watched and watched the prices on these items, and all except the NX810 were dropping. This was kinda scary as if I was going to spend alot of $ on a TV, why would I want one I cannot find anywhere? The other ones were reasonably priced, but did not include a 3D transmitter or glasses.
  
  After what I would consider "over researching", which was not being able to pick out one TV because I saw so many that I liked but yet had either bad reviews (sound - NX810) picture - EX720, or just were year old technology (everything else) I happen to come across this TV on a couple of different websites for a awesome price. The ONLY downfall was NO reviews anywhere, yet the price was phenomenal on every website but Amazon.
  
  After about a week at the lower price, Amazon dropped their price and I pulled the trigger, even with no reviews. Well, I just got the TV today and there are still no reviews, but if you are reading mine 1st, take it from a novice TV person and GET THIS TV. All I can say is WOW!
  Picture - awesome
  Sound - better then expected
  Ease of use - very simple, now just need to tweak settings and transfer cables over to HDMI.
  3D - Very simple to transfer over to, just a click of a button, and after seeing Gran Turismo 5 in 3D, I was blown away. Just easy to look at without being overwhelming. Like I said, this is my 1st TV of this nature, but if anyone has seen 3D they know what I am talking about.
  Look - wow...this TV is just a knockout...nothing more to say...just have to see it to believe it.
  
  In conclusion, this TV was worth the wait if you are getting a 3D TV for the 1st time or thinking of upgrading, have no fear that this TV will meet and exceed your expectations. It has mine, and I have high ones...I guess over researching allowed to me wait just long enough to get this majestic piece of art.

  Summary: I paid 1100 for it on-line. Has very good image, converts 2d in 3d did't know that after I purchased it. I've connected all my media to the TV through a basic media share on my windows PC...and you can connect a USB HD and see movies from there too..
  I'm very happy with it.
  But forget about apps they are bad to worst, I hope they are working on those....

  Lots of settings to customize

  Cons: Terrible Support
  Plex cannot stream 720p or 1080p files if they are not EXACTLY up to spec.
  No DTS support? Which is just strange

  Summary: I would not buy this tv if I knew how horrible the support is. They have one guy on the plex forums, who ignores you or says he doesn't ...
