hello for all member's

Thanks Kittu and Akhil for the replies.

@Akhil

Ur suggestions for 42" Plasma ?

Also, many say that Plasma's are not good for gaming coz of fixed frames in many games. What do u say on that ?

Further, personally I haven't seen any plasma under 80k (my max budget) which is better than Pana V20, the problem with it is bad bulky looks...

Hey why don't you have a look on ps51d550 looks awesome to me

Folks,
Had a demo of both LG 50PZ550 Active 3D Plasma (77K with one 3d glass) and LG 42LW5700 Passive 3D LED (84k with 4 glasses)at Bajaj Electronics HYD.

Both look amazing!:clapping:

Plasma looks amazing but Passive 3D is always better.

The point here is LW5700 has a motion rate of 100hz which means flickering issue might be visible. So if you consider motion rate then there is only one choice- LW6500 series with 200 hz motion rate.

I read reviews about PZ550 mentioning the loss of sync issue in 3D after 15-20 min.
did anyone notice this at your demo?

Samsung 2011 3D plasmas do have issues with flickering and loss of sync. So in both ways LG is a better choice!

could anyone of you compare PZ550 and LW5700/6500 though both are different leagues.....

Hi

Has any one got a chance to compare the performance of Samsung 51PSD550 plasma 3D and LG 50PZD550 plasma 3D ?
Which one is VFM?

(It is weird that LG 50PZD550 is not listed in LG India site ! ! ! Instead they have the 60' version listed...)

Thanks

I got my LG 47LW6500. Its an excellent display. I am fallen in love with 3D. Watching 3D movies back to back. LoL. Two movies which i will rate on top for 3D experience is, Tangled and Avatar. These movies have so real 3D effect that you will forget you are watching the movie on TV. Its like you are inside the movie.

Without calibration the TV is too bright. After calibration, I am amazed with the picture quality. I was never a LG fan but I must say they have the best 3D TV in market now. Dont know what Samsung will come out with in near future. But definitely nothing this year. They have already launched their Active Shutter 3D TVs.

I upgraded my HTPC for 3D too. Core i3-2100 with H67 Motherboard is all your need to play any 3D movie. No need for discrete GPU. Install TMT5(my prefrence) or PowerDVD11 and just play your BluRay Discs. Select either "Frame Sequential" or "Checkerboard" format and Voil.!!

While watching 3D movies, you can adjust the brigtness and all other Video controls which were not accessible in other older 3D TVs. If you think 3D TV makes the movie dull, then check the backlight setting in LW6500. I can bet you cannot increase it above 50%. The picture will be too bright.

Yesterday i saw 2 movies back to back. Open Season 3D and Legend of The Guardians 3D. No strain on eyes, the movie experience was a pleasure. Glasses are ultra light. I would say, the Cinema 3D is a recommended product.

Oh by the way, when i watch Movies, i turn off Trumotion. So ppl who think this TV has less motion rate, then its a myth. In real you cannot watch movies in high motion rate.

Some high-res pictures please . :signthankspin:

 

[akhil7j]

Sure kittu. Will be uploading tonight.

I have personally auditioned this TV on akhils place and I can easily vouch, its the BEST 3D TV out there and yes we did auditioned lots of TV before finilizing this. As I said some where in my earlier post, the best part of this TV is to be able to change picture setting while in 3D mode which was not possible in active shutter 3D tvs (for what ever reason). 3D quality is mind boggling, never though 3D could look so good, specially after watching 3D movies on our good old Indian cinema halls I was bitterly disappointed. But this TV has brought hope and soon other manufacturers would follow bringing more competition and reduced price ........ buckle up guys this TV is the next hit in the 3D market ......

BTW ... tangled just looked out of the world on this TV... superb

Go for LG 47LW6500 eyes closed ..... not literally I mean.. .... but you can read my review and can judge by yourself ....take an exclusive and extensive demo of this product, you would not be disappointed....

 

[manu79]

Flatpanels HD has an unbiased review of the LG Lw6500 set, the 3d experience according to them is almost if not fully comparable to a good plasma 3d set which currently is their recommendation for best 3d experience...

The site gives some good tips n tweaks for owners :

^^ I am not sure how the comparison can be fair between plasma ...... Plasmas do not have the 3d Cinema tech currently which LG has to offer, which is why most of the 3D tv experience was dull AFA picture quality goes. Plasmas are anyhow dull in comparison to LEDs ...... so the comparison is not fair if you as me per my opinion ....

As requested, here are the Pictures of my TV and other beauties I have.hyeah:

I think you missed the portion towards the end of the review, the author has not compared a specific feature exclusively, he has rather expressed his view on the "Overall 3d experience" ... if you wish to discredit that then i cant oppose, go ahead

And when you mean Plasma's are dull, that's generalization. Plasma offer more natural colors. Of-course if you choose a dynamic picture profile even plasmas will begin to look like pseudo LED TV's . Its more or less like comparing a snap taken with a Nikon\Cannon DSLR and shoot the same with a PnS Sony digicam most people will prefer the Sony snap cuz the picture looks artificially bright and colorful
