LG LW6500

47" 1080p LED-backlit
3D 240 Hz
Internet enabled

older Released March, 2011

My wireless network is quite fast (15Mbps) but, unlike my laptop, this TV takes a very long time to load a YouTube video (many never load at all) or pictures of the movies on my Netflix queue.

The screen size is fantastic.....my older eyes like everything bigger.

The larger screen size can make you forget you are watching a TV and puts you in the action.

There are so many ways to tweak this set that everyone should be able to get what they need or expect in a television set; crystal clear, crisp picture with the darkest blacks and brilliant colors.

LW6500 by cabinfever (Feb, 2012)

The setup was simple and the picture is crisp and very clear.

Reviews Word on the street

	Read the review (Jan, 2011) Aside from the refresh rate and screen size differences, the two series of LG passive 3D TVs are identical according to the company's press release.

	Rated 87% by 392 users at amazon.com I give this tv 100puntos, the sharpness is incredible, making the whole film, video and photos 3d hd and more clearly in blu ray movies, you can connect your PC or game console and play your favorite games in 3D plus lenses are lightweight and battery, the lam internet connection is very easy and also connects to wifi you can also go on you tube, etc ... skipe play .... too good this tv is amazing, ultralight, ultrathin incredible price is worth it, henry lopez (Valencia, Venezuela). Rated 100% by by henry (Feb, 2012) We purchased our LG 3D tv in November of 2011 mainly because of the good reviews and 3D capability. Rated 20% by by Mike-Grey (Oct, 2012) The picture detail and quality from a Sony Play Station is incredible. Rated 100% by by regaltime28 (Mar, 2012)

Panel

The 3D passive effect of this TV is very good, especially with the "passive glasses" which are a plus because the price of the glasses are very reasonable compared to "active glasses" which are expensive.

LG LW6500 47" | Rated 100% by by Sparky (Aug, 2011)

Stunningly impressive 3D features, especially if it's your first 3D home TV experience.

LG LW6500 47" | Rated 80% by by Jenny (Feb, 2012)

I still haven't used the 3D glasses because when I bought this TV I wasn't interested in the 3D.

LG LW6500 47" | Rated 100% by by misiu (Apr, 2012)

3d

it also comes with a fun feature where you can change 2D-3D, by no means does it look anything like a 3D movie that was made in 3D, but i have found that some Xbox 360 games look really cool when changed from 2D-3D, some levels on MWF3 changed to 3D is pretty fun!

LG LW6500 47" | Rated 100% by by S2k189 (Nov, 2011)

When doing your research for a 3D tv, most reviews say active is the best to get the full 3D effects.

LG LW6500 47" | Rated 100% by by dairygrl89

The glasses are plastic made and very light to wear and unlike active shutter glasses there are no batteries to change.

Content

As to gaming, got online yesterday with MW3 (xbox 360), converted it to 3d through the TV and it was crazy the level of rounded depth and crisp clarity it added to the graphics.

LG LW6500 47" | Rated 100% by by M.-Allen

Watching blu rays and football games on this display is bad ass!

LG LW6500 47" | Rated 100% by by Spartan1138 (Nov, 2011)

but I was worried when I read a review from someone who said that the tv did not perform well when he was playing shooter games on the xbox 360 or ps3.

Picture quality

The picture is crystal clear and even the audio is clear and vibrant.

LG LW6500 47" | Rated 100% by by James-Beaudry-Jr (Feb, 2012)

Basically, if you want an energy efficent, sleek looking, sharp,crisp and sweet picture look no farther than the LG 65LW6500.

LG LW6500 47" | Rated 100% by by Spartan1138 (Nov, 2011)

I was not very happy with the Quality of the picture, Clear motion rate is very low.

Apps

Advertising is a little shaky when they say "Smart TV allows you to access limitless content, thousands of movies, customizable apps, videos and the best of the web all organized in a simple to use interface" I don't use Netflix type features at this point, but the one reason I decided to get this model and pay for a tv that has "smart tv" built in was to be able to access anything on the internet including, youtube video's etc..

LG LW6500 47" | Rated 80% by by leester

LG has released several updates allowing a better 3D picture, a decent web browser and several apps including HULU+, Amazon Instant Streaming and Netflix.
