Samsung And LG 55-Inch 3D TVs - A Comparison Review

When LG announced its Infinia 55LW6500 55-Inch Cinema 3D HDTV and included four pairs of passive 3D glasses, one had to figure that this new large-screen high-definition television was going to be just another one of the large crowd of passive-eyeglass 3D receivers that would never compete with the likes of Samsung UN55D8000 55-Inch 1080p, but it does.

The LG Infinia 55LW6500 55-Inch Cinema, for example, is just as sophisticated as the Samsung UN55D8000, but there are some major differences in how they get to the same place.

Indeed, the LG Infinia is probably the more sophisticated of the two receivers because it solves problems without the need for active shutter glasses, which, until you study the technology behind the LG Infinia, seems better. However, once you look at the LG infinia, you realize that it is quite a receiver that really can use passive-eyeglasses.

Let's look at the science of depth perception and 3D first. Normally, your left eye and your right eye perceive the same image from slightly different vantage points. It may only be a difference of five degrees per eye, but when you look at an image and close one of your eyes, you see it slightly differently than when you close your other eye and see the same image.

The brain - nature's greatest computer - does the summing and subtracting so that you have depth perception of 3D. In other words, your brain and the way your eyes perceive a scene - at slightly different angles - gives you depth.

In today's top smart eyeglass receivers, such as the Samsung, you are provided with two pairs of shuttered eyeglasses. Each eyepiece shutter is supposed to totally shutdown for a specific period of time - at 240 Hz each eye actually receives four images for each eye and the shutter is supposed to close for two of the image periods that the shutter is open for the other eye. And, when the first eye is finished, the second shutter opens and presents you with its image while the first is shut down.

Some people claim this encourages crosstalk as you are supposed to be able to the first image even while the second is displaying. Frankly, we've never seen that and then some claim they see flicker on their peripheral vision. Again it's something we've never experienced.

However with the LG Infinia you may never have to think about active shutter technology again. The Infinia uses an active technology but rather than placing it in the glasses which also must synchronize with the Samsung, using Bluetooth technology, the LG uses the screen in place of the eyeglasses.

Using thin film technology, the LG fakes your eyes into thinking they are actually seeing 3D images by using two thin film pages set between the glass at the front of the picture tube in the Infinia and the outer glass. To give the feeling and impression of 3D, thin film images - one for each eye that is changed at the same resolution rate as active glasses - 240 Hz - is slipped onto the screen. It is keyed to the colors on one side of the passive eyeglasses so that you only see one image. The next image is changed the same way, and is keyed to the other color so, again, you only see one image. This eliminates crosstalk, ghosting and other problems associated with both active and passive eyeglasses. It is a most interesting use of technology, one that should be used by others and will likely be because you don't have to invest in expensive active glasses and batteries that also need a sync signal. All you need is the passive glasses, which have been perfected over the last couple of years and you're ready to go.

Feature for feature, the Samsung and LG are on a par. Both are network-centric, in that they are capable of recognizing and using WiFi 802.11 b/g/n hotspots, as well as hardwired networking. Each also has HDMI ports so they can not only hook up HDMI-capable devices such as blu-ray players and high-definition audio players, but they can also function as the center of a a home theater system as they can sync up to Dolby surround sound.

About the biggest difference you will find in the LG versus the Samsung is that while the Samsung uses a keyboard-style device for system control, the LG uses a simple Smart tuner. Actually an infrared controller, the Smart system is easy to use with the LG. For example, when it first comes on, the LG has a row of icons at the bottom that allow you to access and control various features. Plus, the screen presents you with Wizards with which you can change settings easily by simply pressing the home key to access the feature you want and then then Enter key to make the change. You press Home again and you're done. Like the Samsung, there is a wide range of apps available for the LG and it is easy to find them and change the task bar at the bottom of the screen.

The LG screen also adjusts the brightness to the brightness of the room, another nice feature. On the whole, each system is equally capable the only difference, really, is in how you make the changes.

LG Cinema Screen LM6700 55-Inch Cinema 3D 1080p 120 Hz LED-LCD HDTV Review (Model cardinal 55LM6700 )

LG Cinema Screen LM6700 55-Inch Cinema 3D 1080p 120 Hz LED-LCD HDTV Review (Model cardinal 55LM6700 ) Video Clips. Duration : 7.93 Mins.

- Please note I received this for reviewing purposes- The LG LM6700 is my second LED 3D TV, but the first using passive 3D glasses. The LM6700 has a lot of things to like in both performance and features, and in many ways it a very thought-out television. Picture Quality - For our basic TV watching we use a Tivo HD, which has a maximum resolution of 1080i. This seems to be ok for our 46" Samsung LED TV, but the larger 55" begins to show some picture degradation. Obviously, this is not the fault of the TV - just an observation. When watching Blu-rays you will notice that the picture quality is considerably better (the blu-rays are in 1080p). Also, the use of the 3D mode seems to help make the TV sharper, and really seems to maximize the capabilities of the unit. Brightness - This probably should fall under picture quality, but the LG LM6700 is not very bright. It is noticeably darker when compared to our Samsung 46UN8000. The claim is that this helps save electricity, but I am not sure if I buy that argument since all LED TVs will be energy efficient. The overall lack of brightness is my biggest overall beef with the LM6700 and is the reason for me taking off 1/2 star. 3D Effect - To repeat a central theme - it is very easy to use. The passive 3D glasses means no batteries and no need to sync them with the TV. It also makes them lighter and easier to wear for extended periods. The 3D performance is nice and controllable, it may be a little less pronounced than the active ...

First, let's review the features. The LG Cinema Screen 47LM7600 comes with some innovative features. For example, Magic Remote is a feature that allows you to control your television like a Nintendo Wii. You just need to point to the screen and your cursor will follow using the television sensors.

Like most televisions, the LG Cinema Screen 47LM7600 also comes with a smart share system. This allows you to easily browse files from external storage devices such as your laptop, cameras, and phones. You can even connect through Wi-Fi if your external device comes with such features.

In terms of the actual picture quality, you will be awed by how vibrant the colors are. Using the next generation 3D Technology, you can even experience cool 3D Movies like Avatar in your own home. With a high definition resolution of 1080p (the highest currently available), your picture will look extra crisp and sharp. There are several models for this TV. The best model available (LM9600) comes with a TruMotion technology of 480 Hz. Obviously, this is not as great as Plasma TVs and you may experience motion blurs once in a while. However, most if not all action scenes will appear clear.

As an ENERGY STAR qualified television, you will also save a lot of energy. When you check your electricity bill, you will be surprised by how much you saved, especially if you compare it with previous bills. So what did customers have to say about this television?

The first customer we interviewed was very please with the LG Cinema Screen 47LM7600. She was especially pleased with the stand which came with the TV. It was extremely durable and the television mounted without much issues. However, one issue the customer had with the LG Cinema Screen 47LM7600 was the screen matrix. She found it to be of low quality. What does this result in? A light and cloud effect for certain images. You can never miss this on a dark screen. That said, this issue did not really cause any huge problems with the overall television use.

Another customer commented that the magic remote feature was a little boring. In the beginning, she found it pretty cool because there was a now mouse cursor on her screen, but the excitement quickly died down when she no longer had any use for television apps. So what do you think about this television? Would you get a LG Cinema Screen 47LM7600?
