Announced January, 2012
Rated 60% by by J.-Roman (May, 2012)I'm wondering if a normal remote for 55LW6700 (correct me if I'm wrong) or similar model (with a NORMAL remote PLUS a 'Magic' Remote) would work on this TV, then the TV would become a little faster on some basic functionality (channel switching, for example).

Rated 71% by by c|net (Sep, 2012)Colors on the other sets, in particular the Vizio, the Samsung ES8000, and the Panasonic plasma had a richer, more pleasing look in my side-by-side comparison.

“47
LCD
Rated 60% by by J.-Roman (May, 2012)It would have worked better as a barebones secondary remote than as the main remote.
47”
LED-backlit
Rated 71% by by c|net (Sep, 2012)It didn't dim or disperse reflections as well as the true matte sets in the lineup - the Sharp and the Sony - but it did a better job of handling them than either of the Samsung ES8000 or the Panasonic, and pretty much tied the less-mirrorlike ES6500.

LM8600 by Tony-Battaglia (Nov, 2012)The best tv I have ever owned-superb picture, easy remote, great 3d-makes old movies look new and crisp, I recommend to anyone looking for led tv.
LM7600 by REVIEW88 (Jun, 2012)Picture is quite an improvement despite such screen size and distortion that you'd expect.
