Note: The only difference between the LG and the LG 42LW570S 42LW579S
is the integration of HbbTV!

I have long been looking for a 42 mm flat-screen TV, all technical
Innovation for the future includes. Most of them failed already own at
the fact that most displays more than reflect itself
To deliver picture quality.
The LG 42LW579S falls in many things on a purely visual. The display
reflects significantly less than the competition and also the frame
the Edge LED looks through the bronze-colored side sections up and down
visually very interesting from.
The interpolated 600Hz device is equipped with a local dimming panel,
which is also the power consumption is significantly reduced. Basically, I'm glad,
that the machine is not super flat but with about 3 cm but has a certain body.
Equipped is the unit with 3 tuners, ie DVB-T / DVB-C and DVB-S2. Naturally
all connections are available. (4 x HDMI, Scart, YUV and Composite)
Even on a VGA port for a computer or laptop is designed.
The initial installation is designed well thought out. I mostly use the
DVB-S2 tuner. Unfortunately, the configuration turns out to be mühseelig. If the
Astra channels are found, you have yourself a list of the individual transmitters
assign a program number, which is very zeitaufwenidig. Maybe I'm spoiled,
to a processing by the program editor would be significantly easier and faster, especially since the
TV can be incorporated into the network. (More on that later)
The image quality of the tuner turns out in SD and HD in very good quality,
of course depending on the source material.
Note: With 42 inches you can see the SD quality still hot for good, but I have
compared with the identical 47/52 inch device and as PAL SD is based on the
Size just one single pixel race.
Particularly pleasing: the format switching works flawlessly and not only in TV,
but also in Bluray / DVD operation. Many other manufacturers do not take it in this regard
as accurately and drag the image 'unnatural' and you can not even intervene.
LG adheres as closely to requirements. Excellent!
The values given in the lower section please see the menu picture settings
assume then you have the TV perfectly calibrated!
With a good Blurayplayer (I have the LG BDC 590) do you get per DVD
and upscaling a good picture, which comes sharp and balanced.
With Bluray the unit is running on course to Höchtsform! Even fast panning
or writings not blur. Local Dimming does a great job, because now is
black really black! The colors shine naturally without outshine and
white is without color cast! Even difficult grayscale are color neutral.
We tested the display with the AVCHD Test Disc HDTV PRAXIS.
All tests are passed with flying colors.
CORRECTION: The device has no 1080p / 24fps Micro bucking !!!
Initially, it was available until I have found that it in
3D mode is an extra menu where you can adjust 3D separately.
In the factory setting is TruMotion and noise suppression
enabled. Disable this unconditionally and everything is super clean
and liquid!
If the sound can be a flat rate say what concerns all flat TVs.
The tone of such devices is simply unbearable to unacceptable but
This problem also Samsung, Sony & Co. The physics can not be
tricking and so is none of the devices on 5-Euro-radio alarm level addition.
Note: In this respect, I have found a solution! One can namely the
Tap tone of LG via headphone jack, turn off the internal speakers
and redirect to a 2-way system.
For this I got myself the JBL Control 2.4.
The Main Menu page appears at first moment overloaded, but you get used
itself. A lot of the time the functions The 'Red Button' function, ie HbbTV,
works surprisingly liquid, provided you have a fast Internet connection.
Under 16Mbit should at streaming, particularly in HD material, do not go.
LG draws upon a clever concept. It distinguishes between appel similar apps
and so-called premium services. The premium services are very extensive.
The 5 most important ones are in the front plane. Among them are Max cathedrals, MySpass,
Q-Tom, Kino.de and the nightly news. Behind MySpass be complete archives hide
and series for comedy fans. Entire series seasons as STROMBERG & Co. can charge
streamed. Even current TV Total episodes without advertising are available.
Q-Tom is also fun! The first interactive music television. Video clips in
super quality non-stop. Would like to highlight for film buffs
I CineTrailer-Tv. Many trailers are in HD quality.
In the app department, there are many free, but also interesting Apps!
z. Ex the app 3D Zone, which currently provides rares 3D material.
While the premium services are not beeinnflussbar, you can see the apps themselves
Manage, install and sort. A USB flash drive is not required to, that
the device is about 400 MB for apps internally available.
This can also be integrated into this TV network goes almost
This a fully functional web browser itself. No, is rather rare.
Have the browser tested and he does his tasks quickly and reliably.
The bookmark list is very helpful. For a conversion into a TV is the browser
well implemented. Respect!
Topic 3D: Well, I'm certainly not a 3D fan, but we will not in the future
get around it. Well turned out for me at the IFA 2011, the question of all
System 'neutral' to compare.
The active shutter technology occurred to me for many manufacturers with unpleasant flickering,
Flicker and ghosting effects on! The price per glasses with nearly 100
seemed out of the question! LG is there a significantly better way!
The passive glasses are not only cheaper (7 pieces are the LG 42LW579S!)
but many negative effects are nipped in the bud. No flickering, relatively large
Viewing angles and very sharp and bright projection thanks to strong light LED display.
If one switches the LG in 3D Blurays in 3D mode, the display automatically
much brighter adjusted to compensate for the loss of brightness.
The 3D effect is absolutely stunning and amazingly realistic. Even pop-out effects,
acting from the flat out, are reproduced very realistically.
Buyer of my 3D BlurayPlayers BDC590 I got the Bluray 'A Christmas Carol'
with Jim Carrey with it! The first 7-minutes of this film are just insanely good
produced by Disney and are ideal for a DEMO demonstration!
The best 3D performance I've definitely on the LG 42 LW579S I now my own
call.
The overall handling of the device makes around fun! Are commands from the Fenbedienung
promptly accepted. The illuminated remote control is clearly structured and looks very stylish.
If you add all the points together and accurate in all corresponding points the quality
look, you will notice that it gets no better 42-inch model for less than 1000.
This opinion's not just me, but also the trade press, which this device as
HIGHLIGHT catches your eye!
Samsung, Sony & Co. have to wrap up warm, because these are usually more expensive, but not
necessarily 'better'. On the contrary, often lack features that this device offers flat.
Therefore, I can quality-conscious freaks for LG 42LW579S an absolute buy recommendation
pronounce!

The values were determined 3D MPO files with the BUROSCH!
After the adjustment has my a perfect 3D image, which natural colors, rich blacks and unadulterated white results with the included LG glasses.
I recommend as check out tip the DISNEY 3D Bluray a Christmas story, which with the Motion Capture technology delivers stunning 3D images without negative pleasant ghosting effects! Have Fun !!!!
Supplement: Many critics decry the lack of USB recording function via satellite that from LG
was omitted due accruing royalties. A producer at a certain
Product budget cutbacks.
As an ambitious home cinema fan I am very happy that LG emphasis on more important
Features that are indispensable in a high-quality flat screen TV,
as z.Bsp. the ISF image calibration possibility that in this price range
normally not common. Already alone this for the realization
Features LG would deserve an award!
I would not have missed the LG LW579S as an overall package, as it is built, no more day !!!
Update 29/01/2012:
The only big problem of LW 579S was the station sorting.
This problem has now been solved comfortable.
With the German version of TllEdit 5.0 now you can see the satellite channels on a USB stick
copy, edit on the PC and back again to play the instrument.
However, I have tested it only by satellite. The other built-in tuner is me
not important, because DVB-T is high beyond the pale and DVB-C wired
I use not because I want to be by satellite "free," what the program feed
concerned. Program technically and qualitatively is therefore only DVB-S and DVB-S2 interesting.
Update on all smartphone fans 06.06.2012: There is a free LG Fernbedienungsapp that I recommend every Smartphoner! So you can navigate the menus by LG pad much faster than would a mouse to the TV connected. This feature is normally only possible if you buy the kostenpflichtge Magic Remote.
When setting up the app you have to pay attention only to the fact that the TV and the phone on the same network are. The TV connects to your smartphone via "pairing". The displayed in the TV code has to be entered once in the smartphone and connects the devices.
