Was really pleasantly surprised

I had a 42 "Toshiba Flat and was thinking long to replace it with a larger one as I already in the basement a small 100" have set up home theater. The issue was then before Christmas the Amazon Cyber ​​Deal price of 999th
When ordering, there were indeed some problems since the internet portal my order canceled me again and again, because I had allegedly ordered via the domestic quantity. This problem was solved but as always confident of the great and nice support colleagues from Amazon and I got out of goodwill nor the IronMan3 Bluray as an encore. So service should look like.

But back to the TV:

I had moment during the delivery period, which lasted about 1 week with me in advance some abdominal pain, since it in the reviews and forums are almost to every major flat enough material to Clouding, Flashlights, banding, etc. to read. More on this later.

Once unpacked and assembled the stand, well not as easy wars. Had I but never a 55 "unpacked. Packed he was wonderful. However, with a sticker on the package that you can tackle the TV almost anywhere, if you freed him from the package. What then but I am surprised to instructions should you it flipped out of the box with disc face down on a table, so you can mount the holder. I then did not dare at a frame width of a few mm. Have me. With the second person was it anderst feasible.

Was only there for a few days, now he's on the wall with a wall bracket Ricco.

Initial went really fast, LAN connector plugged in, power cable and antenna port and off we went. Yes, the tuning and sorting is a bit tedious, but it is done only once, and after 1 hour the stations were then as desired. With Chansort SW it should go, that I did not get reasonable out veleicht this is due to the new firmware.

Now, the first TV SD image, there was the enthusiasm with basic settings for picture and sound is not so great. Such burdened by preconceptions Clouding, it was also seen directly in black areas, in all four corners there was Flashlights and clouding. So once a little disappointed with the settings "played" and informed in various forums. With only the local dimming, good color, contrast and brightness settings, the picture was suddenly super. Extremely picky consumers, it will probably still notice for images with a lot of black color, looking for me the picture is wonderful and perfectly acceptable in this price-money accommodation. Each manufacturer and each LED / LCD of this size has to deal with it and also a lot more expensive models have the same problem. A general statement that example. the Samsung 6500 is better, I think is wrong, because there you can have bad luck.
The local dimming, so the partial shutdown of some LED's on the panel when the black component in subregions of the image is high, to increase the black level is, indeed criticized by many. Sure, there are of course some disadvantages as for example already sufficient a station logo to make it appear bright again a part of the image. There for the manufacturer still room for improvement. I think it's still great and leave it switched on. Banding and pixel errors did not my TV.
Once one has an HD image seen it, you're very enthusiastic. The colors and sharpness are great. The overall black level could still be somewhat higher, but really at a high level. The setting options in the menu, most peculiar of the image are enormous and one has only to talk test some combinations. I turned Truemotion and can live with the "digital" improvements, because the image is thereby in total for my taste still better. Jerking or great artifacts, I could not recognize.

3D picture: I was extremely flashed directly. Have already long been an Epson 5900 projector with active glasses. There I was already impressed by 3D.
At first I thought, yes Glasses and "half" resolution can be anything, I was disabused. The 3D image is among the best I've seen so far. Here comes a 3D and a HFR cinema not. There I with 3D Glasses and still ghosting (shadowing). In this TV but there is absolutely no ghosting. A razor sharp image. Even Jurassic Park 3D is absolutely inspiring. Animated films like Sammy look terrific and colorful. TOP.
Depends the television plus the wall and there is a LED chain behind it, it is as if you are looking through a window.

There are a total of 6 glasses, 4 and 2 Dual Play 3D glasses.

Tested 3D Games Blur and COD Black Ops were 1 on XBOX and that is in dual play really great. Uncharted 3 on PS3 was on the projector in 3D already playable but eyes stressful.
Here one might no longer exhibit the 3D in Uncharted and I play it now again so that through.

Internet, Youtube, I have tested, it works and is easy to operate with the Magic Remote.

For Magic Remote now a few words. I am used to from home theater basement a Harmony One, there was a slight change with the new remote commander to operate the TV. Of course it's stupid by the manufacturer to save the normal remote control and here the free extra would have been desirable. However, the TV can also be controlled with the wonderful Magic Remote. One click and you have called a number field. This goes blind. Or one uses the scroll wheel. The pointer control over position sensor works perfectly. Even my 73 year old father (rather not technically so), who was two days with us was impressed immediately by the operator.
Of course, everything tastes and habituation thing.

It was since the delivery on 10/12. already mehere firmware updates that can be installed automatically. What has changed, no idea.

Attention !! It is transferred to the producer in default, the Shift and USB online behavior that can be off the menu.

The rest I'm still testing and will expand on my review yet.

Negatives:

If the TV is turned on, it takes me a few seconds until the remote reacts so you do the volume controlled high, you get the evening once a fright when one delays the volume can settle down.

But light (depending on device) existing Clouding & Flashlights.

The lighting of the LG logo can indeed be regulated in the menu, which the manufacturer has, however, thinking, I want to know. It can completely off or after 10 minutes. This applies only to the on state. Remember you can not turn it. Off but the TV has always adhere to the logo. Huh ???

Conclusion:

I'm really now after a few weeks still excited, my children also, even my wife (rather dismissed all new technical frills) is excited and has already said that it's been a good acquisition (which is a bit hot). I find myself, that we now have HD / 3D almost only watch on TV and do not use the projector, despite the larger screen.

I think this in the 1,000 class lying Television is quite apart from the Samsung unrivaled in 6510/6500, as regards the price-performance ratio and the setting options.
Sure, you can also take the 6608/6918 with 400MHZ which is supposed to have a similarly good picture. I would buy it to me at any time.
