The TV did already when unpacking a good impression. Processing seems to fit, and the pedestal was something different from the previous TV in my household. Ruckzuck the device was set up and put on the TV rack. This is also alone possible. Well, with my 1,93m I tu me of course easier when wearing the device than smaller people.
The initial installation is relatively simple vonstatten. Only during automatic channel scan I had to trim short because he wants to look through a network here, which I was at first somewhat incoherent if no LAN cable is connected. Why then the possibility is given in Cable? Well, I changed to "full" search and off we went. Actually, I need this search does not work because I have a cable receiver. However, I was interested in, would see how many stations the integrated tuner. Here then quickly entered disillusionment. A ratio of 81 (C tuner in the TV) to more than 300 channels from the external receiver is already rather bitter. Something I would certainly see as a reason to investigate here, why here some stations are missing. But for reasons described I read from it, because it does not really tangierte me and I would not let me take the joy of the new TV. What then, however, surprised that it was proportionate many analogue channels. Including ORF 1. However, the quality of this is frankly underground. This can be forgettable, unfortunately.
When the scan I set out to find the correct picture setting. The default settings are in principle not bad, but thanks to a relevant forum (Hifi-Forum), I found but one for me almost optimal. What you should mention here is that you should definitely turn this power saving mode. The causes, at least in Expert Mode a milky, light gray yellow veil. This then looks very unnatural. Who wants to deal with the issue more, may probably spent hours testing the individual possibilities of image adjustment. Since there are already three per color possibilities of change. Something like my smaller LCD LG has not. For an absolute layman I find something exaggerated. This is so definitely overwhelmed.
Finally, it is the sound system and the BD player was finally connected to the receiver to the TV. Thanks to HDMI no problem and quickly done. Here it should be noted that I switched from HDMI 1.3 to HDMI 1.4 in order to achieve the optimum result in the 3D mode. Thus, the 3D experience could begin. Disc in the BD player and starts it. No way, because now comes a message that in the long run is really annoying and also not be switched off. You will be prompted to set up the 3D glasses and this has to be confirmed with OK. Is it a universal remote control just in BD mode is something stressful when you have to re-rumdrücken tens of times until it is gone. A look at the manual, if you can turn that helps nix. This is indeed held in dozens of languages and includes several models of LG, but useful information or descriptions of the features of the TV are here in short supply. There are television in itself also a manual that can be called. But since then are not smarter. Since my TV had an old firmware, for example, would be a description of how to hinbekommt an update via USB, was not so wrong. So you have on the PC again and Find. Well, the LG-HP helps one since relatively quickly on, but a few details in advance in a manual would be my opinion not too much to ask. The update itself would have been relatively easy to accomplish, if I had not understood the description of how to do it wrong here. A USB stick you have to get with FAT32 formatting, then pick the appropriate update of the LG Support page and then extract the zip file first. Then ABSOLUTELY advance to create a folder named LG_DTV on the stick and then move only the extracted file there. Then slide the USB flash drive into the USB connector on the TV and it comes by itself going. After complete installation of the TV switches off briefly and the same again. Only then pull off the stick. Perfect it, if you still perform a factory reset would. Who needs but not necessarily my opinion. The new firmware was it even without this.
So far so good, as the 3D Disc finally allowed to continue without meaningless impressions must be clicked away on TV, the first real eye-opener came. The passive 3D system is really close to the cinematic experience. Razor sharp and no more than distortions in the cinema. I have now "the Smurfs", "Tron" and "The Three Musketeers" viewed and am thrilled. Only the Sogn. Pop-outs I could not really perceive. This was more evident in the cinema. But compare theater with a 47-inch would then already measured. What pleased me that there is 4 of the glasses to gave at LG. Only the missing clip for eyeglass wearers. Here Amazon provides otherwise for spare (thanks for this!).
Pro:
- Class SD, HD and especially 3D image
- 4 passive 3D glasses are included including 1x clip for eyeglass wearers.
- Numerous image adjustment options
- Easy initial installation
- Internet Compatible with LAN or dongle
- Design handsomely
- Sound good for the small "body" of the TV
Neutral:
- Might be less than that of external receiver station is found
- Update not possible without search
Negatives:
- No reasonable manual
The few neutral and negative arguments prevent full marks. But I would not have missed the TV no longer. Good acquisition to date.
Update: In the meantime, I have now but attach a negative point, which can be quite bothersome. If you look at football, both in SD as well as HD on, you have to unfortunately with Sogn. Banding live with faster panning in a long shot. This is horizontally visible and looks like a shady bar. This seems to have generally the LM series. Otherwise, I'm still happy with the purchase.
