Picture

The LG 5600 series can convert virtually any 2D video input to 3D with up to 20 different depth modes. Since the set ships with four pair of flicker free passive 3D glasses you can get the 3D effect immediately after setup. Regarding the passive 3D glasses, a big plus for kids and people with sensitivity wearing the heavier battery operated active-mode glasses is the fact that the passive glasses weigh several ounces less than active 3D glasses. This is not a small consideration since you’ll be wearing it for hours.

LG Cinema 3D features 180 degree wide angle viewing. The LG 47LW5600 LED edge lighting produces superb contrast and its LED Plus backlighting keep the picture’s colors and shadows adjusted for changes in room lighting. You’ll get beautiful cinematic view from the 47″ screen from any viewing angle. With a TruMotion 120Hz refresh rate motion artifacts are minimized. LG’s Intelligent Sensor automatically optimizes the picture to the lighting and color conditions in the room. However, the TV’s matte screen performs better than the glossy screens when the TV is in a brightly lit room, too.

Features such as full 1080p HD in both 2D and 3D, 2D to 3D conversion from all sources, and auto dimming for room lighting are packed into the design.

Sound

Twin 10-watt speakers use Infinite 3D Surround technology to augment the audio output in up to five different sound modes to fir the viewing experience.

Cabinet

The 47LW5600 is 1.2 inches thick when wall mounted. The wide 180 degree angle viewing for 3D ensures the picture is viewable anywhere in the room from where it is positioned.

• “I researched various TV’s for months before deciding on this one. I believe PC Magazine gave this the editors choice. They rated it as having the best 2D picture on the market and as having one of the best 3D pictures too. So I decided to put this in my cart and wait for the price to drop under $1000.00 and when it did I purchased it. Set up was easy. I had no problems what so ever. The picture is mind blowing! Better than I expected even from looking at the one at BestBuy! If your in the market for a TV this is the one to get. I’ve long been a fan of Samsung but was immediately interested in this TV when I saw the price of the 3D glasses! The 3D pic is awesome!” – Big Joe (MA,USA)

• “This TV is amazing. I’m a geeky super tech junkie. I follow tech like crazy so know my info here is not only research it has all been fully tested on this set. First off, no HDTV does apps very well so if you’re considering this or any set for the apps, forget it. Some sets do them well but blu-ray players do them much better. Even the highest end Samsung has problems with apps. There are also complaints about the TV splitting the resolution for 3D. This is only true for some 3D, like on the Xbox 360 or any other device using a stereoscopic display that is intended to force the TV to create the 3D effect. If you have a 3D blu-ray player this is not the case. A 3D blu-ray player will do FULL 1080p 3D. So this is movie theater quality 3D. Since this set uses passive 3D you actually get the full 3D effect like in the theater with no batteries or heavy glasses. It’s comfortable with no headaches or issues. It looks amazing. I was against getting a 3D TV until I saw this in a store and noticed it actually worked. Active glasses looked terrible but this blew me away.” – Protoguy (USA)

• “A great picture with no motion blur. The entire family and guests all agree. Certainly worth the price < $900. Can be viewed from everywhere in our living room. We recommend this for anyone wanting a 47".” – Portage (USA)
