Low Cost 3D,

This review is from: LG 42LW450U 42-inch Widescreen Cinema Full HD 1080p 3D 100Hz LED TV with Freeview (Electronics)
I have owned this television for about 2 weeks now. It is a nice looking TV and is very thin. The screen has a bezel around it which is not quite as nice as some LG TV's which are like one sheet of glass. It is still very sleek though.This TV uses Passive 3D - or Cinema 3D as LG are calling it and this set comes with 7 pairs of passive 3D glasses- exactly the same type you get at the cinema. The passive glasses are more comfortable and a lot cheaper to replace than the active shutter glasses that you need for some 3D televisions. This TV does have a usb port for viewing films and photos and listening to music but it does not have internet connectivity. I have seen various debates on the internet over whether passive 3D is as good as active 3D. I'm no expert, but having owned this TV for a couple of weeks and having watched various Sky 3D content and several 3D films I cannot see any problems with the 3D at all. You do need to be watching it from the same height as your head- or on a bracket that angles the TV down, as if you are looking up or down by a couple of feet on the 3D picture it starts to distort slightly and you can see the lines on the screen. Other than that I have had absolutely no issues with crosstalk, ghosting or any of the other problems you see sometimes with 3D. I have mine on a stand and it it is roughly head height when sat on my couch or a chair. The kids have watched it lying down and not seen much difference. I have only seen an issue when standing up or close up to the screen- about a metre and this was only when trying to find out at what point there might be a problem. I don't know about you, but I don't normally tend to watch TV whilst standing up or stick my face right up to it! There is much debate over 'Full HD 3D' and claims that passive 3D TV's like this don't show full HD 3D, just half the resolution. To be perfectly honest it's not that I don't believe the science behind it that proves this, who am I to disagree with the experts - but I honestly cannot see the difference. Nor can any of my family or friends who have watched the TV with me. The picture, in 3D or otherwise is spectacular and the sound is fine. The 2D picture is also great on HD or standard definition and you can convert 2D to 3D with good results although I don't tend to bother. There are plenty of settings on the TV to adjust the picture and Trumotion settings. I set mine to the preset 'Cinema' which works well for me. The TV has 3 HDMI in connections so I can have the Sky box, Xbox and Bluray player set up. I have also played 3D content from an external hard drive via the usb port and this worked perfectly. For the cost this is an excellent TV, particularly good for families because of the number of glasses with the set and also how cheap they are to replace (£1 at my local cinema per pair). If you are looking to update your TV but are unsure about 3D I would say this is a great choice for an all round TV that has 3D capabilities.

I'm reviewing this without owning - but my father does. I've been umm-ing and ahh-ing about active vs passive for a year now, and having seen them both at work i have to say its a no-brainer. A friend of mine had to have a 3DTV and with very little research, he went and bought a Samsung active, which was very nice for me as I got to go and roadtest it for free. Aside from the glasses being clunky and a bit over-complicated (are these on or off?) the 3D image showed a little depth but nothing like you see at the flix. Not so with the LG, this had depth, and in ya face screen-popping.As someone else said, the impression we're given is that passive displays are half-resolution, but to me it was HD. And the picture in general, without 3D was quite possibly the best i've seen on any tv. If you just want a fantastic HD TV, i'd buy this. If you want a fantastic HD 3DTV, i'd buy this. Infact, i am buying this as soon as i get a few quid!

I'm an old hat when it comes to HD, I've been at it almost as long as it was possible to do. When it came to 3D though I retained a degree cynicism. 3D in the consumer market is still moderately new and I was not at all sold on the idea of expensive active shutter glasses which do not lend well to family or group viewing without paying almost as much as the TV all over again.When I saw the LG advertised originally I maintained my corporate cynicism however our main TV developed some rather unsightly marks internally, akin to bubbling and this forced me to think hard about 'what next'. Eventually, exhausted from reading hundreds of web pages about 3DTV, I took the plunge. It arrived before I had any material to watch. That aside, once it was connected up and run on "normal HD" content I couldn't believe my eyes - it was almost like being reborn, the difference between this and my previous Philips high end HDTV was remarkable. I was very impressed indeed. Even my wife commented and she takes a great deal of convincing. Fortunately I have Sky+ HD so 3D was a web-visit away, while I started hunting down the desirable 3D titles on BD. The 3D experience was truly superb, faultless. My wife who is a permanent glasses-wearer found placing the supplied passive spec's over her own to not be unpleasant and can easily sit through a full film without discomfort. As to me with 20/20 vision, I have as yet experience no unpleasant 3D "side-effects" like nausea, headaches, despite watching up to 3 3D movies in a row during a 3D marathon. I would have to place this TV as my star buy of the last 5 years, no quibbling. Thank you LG for an excellent product!
