Screen

LED screens are generally thinner by design and the LG’s 55LW5600 LED Plus technology provides detailed color, amazing clarity, and contrasts that are the best in the industry. LG Cinema 3D will take you right to the movie theater and teamed up with the new lightweight glasses, you don’t have to worry about watching your movie at the right angle because every spot is a sweet spot. With any angle viewing, clear picture quality, smoother crisper images, 1920x1080p resolution, 120hz refresh rate, 8,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and a depth that is breathtaking; the 55 inch viewing screen (54.6-inch diagonal) will make you feel as though you’re in the action rather than watching the LG 55LW5600.

Cabinet

The cabinet design is simple yet elegant with LG’s patented high-test durable plastic that gives you a lustrous shinny finish but allows for more viewing space and less frame to look at. The LG 55LW5600 comes with the factory stand that allows the set to swivel forward and back 20 degrees. For the person that is more into wall mounting, this set comes with the compatible VESA mounting system to match a wide range of mounting brackets. A superb plus is that your 55LW5600 comes with 4 sets of new LG Cinema 3D Glasses for your viewing pleasure and you don’t have to order the glasses separately.

Setup

The setup is done virtually automatically with a simple touch of the remote, and for those of you who have the high tech WiFi systems, don’t worry because your LW5600 is WiFi ready, so connecting to your equipment is easy and effortless. The set up screen will walk you through the selection process with menus that are easy to follow and straight forward.

Picture

The LG 55LW5600 is a full HD 1080p LED HDTV, and the picture quality has as much detail and clarity as anything in real life, but much better. With Picture Wizard II and Intelligent Sensor, you are ensured to get the best picture at all times. Picture Wizard allows you to manually configure your picture to your liking, any time you want. Intelligent Sensor will adjust your picture for you automatically giving you the clearest, sharpest, and most brilliant picture that can be imagined.

There is discussion amongst 3D aficionados that passive 3D is easier on the viewer than is active 3D when watching 3D movies over longer viewing sessions. Some people experience discomfort in the form of a headache when watching 3D movies for a long period of time. However, there is much to say that the cause of this discomfort or eye fatigue is not the 3D technology itself, but related to poorly rendered and produced 3D content.

We chose to view the Blu-ray release, Tron: Legacy to evaluate this LG Infinia HDTV. This is a film that shifts between 2D and 3D aspect ratios. At a little over 2 hours of viewing, we found ourselves so caught up in the stunning visuals that we barely noticed when it shifted from between 2D and 3D. The 2D images were not degraded one bit when viewed through the 3D glasses. The imagery is highly dimensional creating a world that looks very real, yet even in the darkness you can see the clear shapes of landmarks and vehicles as well as the contours of the landscape. Tron: Legacy is bathed in darkness that draws upon the blacks, blues, and grays, yet, when whites, yellows and orange neon colors appeared on the clothing, the color was still stunning against the darker background. We watched the movie on the LG 55LW5600 while wearing the 3D glasses for the duration. We did not experience any headaches or eyestrain, just amazement at the stunning picture we just viewed.

Sound

The LG 55LW5600 offers Infinity 3D Surround that powers a 1 way, 2 speaker system. You also have the option to use two Audio Outputs (10watts each) to power external speakers if needed. Included features such as Clear Voice II, Auto Volume Leveler, and Dolby Digital Decoder all help to round out your sound options.

Returning to our 3D experience listening to Tron: Legacy, the soundtrack is a sophisticated sort of soundtrack that’s sure to dazzle the listener. The dialogue is very clear and the music is robust and is perfectly integrated with the picture. The track’s many lower notes belted out some sharp and battling bass that put the speaker system to the task. The sounds of distant thunder, while profound, didn’t overtake the gentle sounds of a crackling fire and insects buzzing overhead. This is a sophisticated soundtrack well presented by the LG 55LW5600 Infinity 3D Surround Sound system.

Energy

The LW5600 is Energy Star Qualified, which means it saves as much as 30% more energy than any standard set. In standby and active mode it only uses 0.1w to 159w of energy at any given time. The voltage setting is 100v – 220v, 50/60hz.

Additional Features

The LG 55LW5600 comes with a number of additional features such as LED plus w/local dimming, Magic Motion Remote, DLNA Certified, 2D to 3D Conversion, AV Input navigation, Input labeling, and Child Lock. If you aren’t familiar with the Smart TV feature, it is a suite of Internet based options including those offered through Netcast like Netflix, but with new welcome additions including Hulu, NHL GameCenter, NBA Game Live, and MLB.TV. This is a sports lover’s dream package.
