Lg 55lm7600

[AtheK]

@Athek:What price did you buy this for?
I'm looking to buy the same model and have found a LG brand shop which has agreed to sell it for 1.5L with all the Diwali offer goodies. Is this a good price?

I still haven't been able to check the xbox360 on this tv yet. Can you share your experience with regards to gaming, especially FPS/TPS like Gears of War or COD.

Feedback:
I managed to check the video playback capability of this TV. It doesn't play 10bit encoded files that well (test file was a 720p 10bit encoded anime). ASA encoded subtitles come up as plain text only. So those who watch Anime a lot would find this annoying.

It also starts with a slight audio lag when playing 1080p mkv files but auto corrects itself after 20-30 seconds. The FWD/RWD is also kinda wonky on HD files.

The Dual Play feature stretches 1 players screen onto the entire screen. The aspect ratio gets completely screwed. The feature requires special Dual Play glasses but the same result can be achieved using the supplied glasses by covering one eye of the viewer.

Hope the above helps anyone who is looking to buy this beauty of a panel.

1.5 is awesome price I got it for 1.62 after a lot of negotiation.

Have not played a TPS game yet, but call of duty worked absolutely fine.

Cool. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Any chance of getting info regarding TPS and any noticeable input lag.

Which Picture Mode did you play COD on?

Thanks

 

[AtheK]

i have my own customized mode, personal preference so no specific setting. I can check on Gears and let you know

 

[AtheK]

where are you getting it from 1.5 though, MRP was 2 change, so i thought i did a good stuff by almost getting 20% discount, but you are getting a better deal of 25% discount

LG brand shop in Gurgaon.

I'm trying for even lower, lets see

How is the backlight bleed on this set? I couldn't notice any in the showroom.

Planning to buy these soon and looking to strike a decent deal here in ahmedabad.
@L33TWiZaRd can you give me any contact details of this LG shoppe in gurgaon so that I could check if they ship outside delhi. May be they'll go even below 1.5 if you could strike a group buy:yahoo:

My neighbour has this set and it is pretty feature rich -- I especially like the 3D->2D conversion. From a feature per cost perspective, this set beats all others.

That said, there is an incredible amount of the "soap opera" effect present when motion control is on; the delivery/installers put it on Dynamic/Full Motion and super bright -- just like at the showrooms. This needs to be adjusted or the 2D experience just feels artificial. 3D is awesome; I think a 55" versus my 42" is the primary culprit.

I recently got a LM6700.

Out of box settings are horrible.
It should be calibrated, CNET and LCDBuyingguide.info has settings.
Switch off energy saving auto adjust feature.

I did not find the 2D to 3D conversion that useful. But 3D movie is awesome to look at. Glasses are cool.

Black are very good compared to my old LCD. Good PQ.

There is a small light bleed at the edge but you would not notice it easily. I guess all Edge lit TVs have this issue.
If you are very particular about picture get the thicker full array LED. For the rest 95% of people, this would not be a big deal.

Stand is beautiful and the TV is very sexy with its bezel less and super slim design. I do not think there is anything better looking. It even beats Samsung on looks.

High gloss screen, it is like a mirror. Fortunately I have recessed light in false ceiling. Do not keep any lights behind the TV. I like matte screen of my old TV.

Sound is weak. Again another disadvantage of being super slim.

Magic remote will take getting used to. I would prefer a second regular remote with keyboard slide on.

Presuming you have your entire collection of movies and songs on PC, install XBMC on your PC, now set the path on XBMC for movies and songs, it will then setup everything for you, starting from downloading Movie Titles to IMDB ratings and subtitles. Connect it to TV. You can then control entire collection from your iPad or Smartphone. It decodes everything, pretty much all pic formats and all audio codecs. So you need nothing else.

thanks for reply. one more question.. how you have connected using HDMI.. and tell me about smart phone connection as well because i m having samsung galaxy andriod phone.. thanks in advance

@K11 -> well said, when we setup on default, pics on blu ray were looking like they were shot through camcorder, some liked it at home, but i hated it, after calibration now it looks gorgeous. Yes you are right this is the TV to beat, superb stuff, just a little sad to hear that i could have bargained more, 12k saved would have been huge. All in all pretty happy.

@virbhardwaj: PC and TV both are connected to my Onkyo 709 through HDMI, and HDMI form Onkyo running to TV.

Is that xbmc media centre that you install on your pc as opposed to openelec and xbmc, which makes it the OS?

 

[Avijeet]

Finally... got it installed today... its a monster .... superb looks....
Final price was 1,48,000/-

Factory settings are pathetic.... will calibrate it as per Cnet suggestion tomorrow

I have switched off the trumotion feature.... every time i turn true motion on... judder comes back....

Pro -

100 times better 3d contrast, thanks to passive 3d.
Plex Media Server working like a charm
Simplink compatible with Philips HTIB
Magic Motion Remote is really handy.

Cons -
Not playing Sony HD Camcorder files.

Cluttered interface Firmwire not stable

Huge lag and connection error between Samsung S3 and LG TV, whereas Sony works great unable to screen share with s3.

I would say judder is still an issue... with true motion on.. u can see 2 cricket balls in fast motion.... that's pathetic.

Left Top and Right Bottom bleeding and little Dirty effect is there..

Purchased 55LM7600 yesterday. Got it for 1.35L with free 3D camcorder.
Factory sealed pack.. Yet to open it as installation is scheduled for today.
I know that default settings are not that good as compared this set with Sony 55HX750 but if you calibrate it properly it leaves behind Sony by long way. (I was managed to do this stuff at an outlet late at nights and in varying light conditions as I knew the dealer a bit.) The blacks are better than most of the LEDs. Will post pics tonight.

Wow man that's awesome price.

My dealer is also surprised to know the price.

Even the person who started this trade bought it @ 1.6+

Congrats bro
