Sound
-----
The sound is to watch TV perfectly adequate. It is within the capacity of a very flat LED TVs, even at high volumes, clear and clean, if rather shallow. To gamble anyway I used a 2.1 system of my PC, bass you should expect from the TV of course not.
Multimedia Features
---------------------
Recording, play back video files, etc. I have not tried all of them, because it is not important to me. However, I have already connected the PC. That works just fine, more on that later.
Construction, operation, optics
------------------------
Construction went very easy, I have the 47-inch version and was able to build the TV without problems alone. Just the 8 screws required to install, that's it. When I took it the first time out of the package, I was overwhelmed, how big it is compared to my old Samsung 32-inch HD-ready TVs. A completely different world. Operation etc. is very easy, the remote control is clear and understandable, as is the menu. Instructions I did not need'm technically but also reasonably proficient. Had I but desired as with Samsung TVs own HDMI button to durchzuzwitchen connections quickly. When LG it was partly unnecessary of clicking, because you have to select the source from a menu individually. But of course is not a reason for the point deduction.
Image
----
The most important: The picture quality! Double-edged sword be idem Tv, I think. I watch via satellite. The private are digital and HD programming than I have the public service, arte, Servus TV and Anixe. Now and Blu Ray on the PS3, gaming via the same and the PC is also connected via HDMI. For programs which offer the full HD resolution, Servus TV, Blu Ray, the TV shows of course his muscles. Sharp images, because you can not complain. In football and fast movements, I can not see any streaks and stuttering. While gambling, I had no noticeable input lag. Input lag there of course with any TV, the only question is whether this is so low that it does not really stand while gambling. Here I fell in FPS games and football, nothing like, so true: gaming fun! Important !!! -> Before the respective HDMI input, connected to the PC and console, the TV menu as "PC" label. The TV then switches off various image enhancements, making the low input lag is possible. The picture still remains very very good, provided you fit Contrast, Brightness and Co. at a little.
Clouding, called halos, incidentally, I had not, but I'm not satisfied with the black level. The TV has a non-disconnectable "feature" that adjusts the black level to the image content currently shown. I have, for example, an external receiver. If you switch to this, the TV turns black during the switchover. In the lower half of the screen, the receiver will display a blue box, where the sender information is available. For the TV, this means that it must enable the backlight at this point, while he can completely switch off on the upper half of the TVs. This means that the upper half of the image is completely black (as you could wish for a black level, the lower half, there where the blue box will appear, but slightly gray because as I said aanspringt the backlight of the TV at this point. After a short time (1-2 seconds), the black level fits but then completely on, so that it is uniform. I think it looks completely ugly and has irritated me right at the beginning. It is in this Tv really see how the lighting works and adjusted. For normal TV screen but which absolutely does not stand out in the dark or deep black images already. hats annoyed me right. Since this effect can not be disabled, I had to reduce the general backlight and brightness to be controlled. For me personally to make the image a has Tick to dark, so that I could find an acceptable compromise for me. Moreover, I do not think I had a defective model, as part of the series dispersion "feels" the observed effect on normal. Life I want with it but not trotzdme.
See who's currently deterred: You have to see it realistically. I think I'm very fussy what technology terms. Most people would not notice something like this or more disturbing, but I envy them. My wife, for example, was enthusiastic ("soooo grooooß") from the TV. Your kommts just not on the technology to;)
A star deduction for the problems described
3D movies + 3D gaming
--------------------
3D ... what I've been looking forward. Again, my expectations were probably too large. Have the first 2D -> 3D function tested. Works added very good, one can clearly see how much the image is plastic and is gaining space. Had examined the electric market for comparison already several TVs. If Samsung (6030) This function was barely perceptible, with a Phillips I liked best (but know the model no longer). This LG here that makes very good. However, it also noted that the image loses at Details and a little bissl is blurred. For correct 3D movies it Wurd then also very double-edged for me. Pop-outs in "The 3 Musketeers" and "Immortals" were very nice, the 3D effect is really top notch, but I could not accept that it (technologically due to passive 3D) is to reduce the resolution. It shows clearly, the picture is blurred, light ghosting (ghosting) visible, especially with text. In Blu Ray menu and passages with text I was even somewhat bad, because everything was blurry (seat pitch 2.5 - 3m).
While gambling with 3D ists similar. Hab Killzone 3 in 3D mode tried. Lags did not exist, 3D also looks impressive, but somehow the wow-effect does not last long when you realize that the graph is generally blurred. I played with the 3D setting and tried everything possible, satisfactory in terms of a compromise between 3D depth and sharpness of the image did not exist. Again, I felt sick for a little Zockerei.
Either good for me the passive 3D technology not (have also looked at the movies only once, but since I Wurd not bad) or 3D is completely overvalued at the present time. Istsicher quite nice, but would try me 2-3 times and then never touched again safely.
Again a star deduction
Conclusion
-----
The TV is probably very suitable for people with normal everyday demands. One can look good normal 2D TV and 2D Blu Rays and to gamble, it is also suitable, as well as a PC monitor. If you like the 3D effect in the movie, is the TV also happy, that brings the cinema to the living room. Nevertheless, he goes back to the basic Backlight Dimming described problems (probably. Wars pronounced than in other, Tagged series dispersion in my device, but do not feel like again to order), and because I felt sick when 3D applications. Be my budget therefore invest in a 2D Tv and thereby put less emphasis on gadgets than on the built-up panel.
