(REAL NAME)
BE AWARE THAT THIS MODEL DOES NOT COME WITH 3D GLASSES!! AND THEY ARE ACTIVE 3D NOT THE PASSIVE TYPE THAT YOU GET IN THE THEATERS. There are similar models that come with the magic remote and glasses but they are more expensive and the TV will have a dual core processor. BUT NOT THIS ONE!
The other bad thing is "made only for this model" accessories. There is only one type of "Active" glasses that will work and that is the 3D AG-S350 Shutter Glasses which will basically cost you $50 each. You can find generic but they will cost $80 each. :-O
The magic remote, AN-MR300, is also extra at $80 each. You will see variations of the remote, AN-MR3005, AN-MR300Q, etc., with some being much cheaper but LG says they are only for specific television sets and won't work with this model.
So aside from the added extras this will cost you it is a fantastic television but you may want to spend a little more for the model that comes with the accessories.
The video is CRYSTAL clear, i mean, ive never had a tv so vibrant and colorful, it is fantastic. It has a smart feature that allows the tv to detect light in the room which is nice, but i dont use it, but im sure others will.
It is a smart tv, and its actually smart. The internet is really cool, plays lots of videos on real sites. I dont use many of the apps, but there are plenty of games and stuff. Some of the apps i do use is netflix and hulu plus. Both are good, but on my ps3, netflix is able to automatically play the next episode of a show, but not on this tv, although i spoke with a representative and they said thats netflix not the tv, which makes sense, but still. but i bet eventually they may be able to upgrade through firmware.
It is a plasma tv, so I am constantly nervous about burn in. Fortunately this tv has ways of avoiding the burn in effect. For example, pausing the tv, after about a minute or two brings up a screen saver that moves around so nothing is on the screen in once place for too long. Also has an easy "sleep" program under apps, unfortunately it isnt directly on the controller, but thats ok i guess, just be careful before falling asleep. But I have had plasma before and never really had any problems so maybe its all in my head, but still be careful just in case.
The 3D is the whole reason I bought this tv. I tested out 3D first on a small 24" playstation display, and i loved it, so I bought this. The active glasses come seperately, and can cost about $40-$50. They are so light and comfortable, they are just as good as the passive glasses. I recommend active because the quality is so crystal clear and these specific glasses are the best ones ive ever worn. Full 1080p in each eye, I just watched jurassic park in 3D and was blown away, I just hope they come out with more movies in 3D.
BUT OH WAIT!!!!
It has a 2D-3D conversion, which is pretty cool! Obviously it isnt as good as watching something that was shot in 3D, but watching the Matrix in 3D was pretty great, also video games like skyrim!
All in all, I love my new TV, and for the price, I say its pretty great. 50" is perfect for my room. I originally wanted bigger, but my roommate already has a 55" so its all mine, which is great for me!
After about 2 hours of use, the TV let out an unbearable very high-pitched squeel and shut down. I unplugged it and plugged it back in after about 5 minutes and everything was normal for about 10 minutes then, again, the same problem occurred. I repeated unplugging and replugging and viewing and the same problem occurred after about 5 minutes. I repeated the previous procedure and, when the problem recurred, instead of unplugging, I lightly smacked the back of the TV where I heard the squeel most intensely and, voila!, the squeel stopped and the picture came back on. After a few hours of watching, the problem occurred again which I remedied with the same "whack in the back". I also blew some compressed air into the small holes in the back where I heard the squeel coming from. Since then, the TV has worked perfectly. I don't know what caused the initial problem but it seems to have disappeard.
Other than the initial problem, I am very pleased with the TV. It has a very good picture and the Smart TV features are very useful. The only criticism I have is that I had to buy 3D glasses separately which cost me $100 for two pair that should have come with the TV.
Edit 1:
I've found that other active 3D shutter type glasses, the Samsung SSG-5100GB which sell for $19 each on Amazon.com, work with the LG PM6700 series 3D HDTV. Too bad for me that I found out about them after I bought the LG AG-S350 glasses at $50 each.
Edit 2:
The PM6700 can be used with a Logitech K400r wireless keyboard which has an integrated/built-in trackpad. It costs a lot less than the retail price of the LG "magic wand" which I have (I was given one for free so the keyboard actuall cost me more) and is much more useful. Just plug the RF transceiver that comes with the keyboard into the PM6700 and turn the keyboard on and it works.
I was a little dissapointed when I realized this model does not include a smart remote. But then I found the free LG smart remote app for iphone and ipad and I'm happy enough with this that I do not feel a need to spend another $80 or so for a smart remote. (After a month on the fence last summer, I have grown to enjoy the smart remote point and click system on my LED. With it, I don't need glasses or a bright light to navigate all the tiny buttons at night and that's a big plus for me.)
Other people can speak to the techicalities of the picture vs. other models better than I can. In my simple terms, I enjoy the sharpness of my LED tv and this model trails the LED slightly in that category. That said, some people may find a slightly softer edges more settling. But for me the width of the quality viewing angle and the rich colors of this set have me pleased with my purchase.
It was a little heavier than I realized (I should read product descriptions more carefully), and with the 60" size it is generally speaking a two person job to move it around the house and up onto the console. That said, this TV is less than half the weight (and half the price) of my previous 51" plasma that was purchased in around 2005/2006.
I'd probably give it 4.5 stars if that were an option, but the full fifth star might have cost me an additional $1,000 so I'm happy!
The WiDi (if you have 2nd generation laptop) feature is amazing as well and you will really enjoy video quality without a cable. TV sound is simply great.
Overall the picture quality is very good, however, the other video options such as Game, Vivid, etc are found not that useful as I found the video quality is good when standard video is set.
Cons: With the default options we have observed that the picture quality/display is little dark when compare to other TV (I have Samsung 50"). This is little disappointing..
