This model is the 55'' version of the 47'' TV that we tested in our labs, the LG 47LW550T.Everything we said in the original article holds true--the only thing that's different is the size! The only exception is that some manufacturers fit different si...
Attractive results in 2D and 3D, Accurate colours: average deltaE of 3.1, Light, comfortable passive 3D glasses, Matte display (so not many reflections) and low energy consumption (90 W), One of the best LCD 3D TVs: not much crosstalk and less eyestrain than with active 3D technology...
Contrast ratio not quite perfect (1005:1), More crosstalk visibile thanon a plasma 3D TV, Media player doesn't support M2TS or MTS files...
The LG LW550T television only just misses out on a four-star rating because it can't quite deliver the same image quality as its big brother the LG LW650S. That doesn't take away from the fact that it's a great 3D TV...

The subject of today’s review is a much-talked-about “Cinema 3D” TV from LG Electronics. The LG 47LW550T is an LED-backlit HDTV which features the company’s film-type patterned retarder (FPR) polarized 3D LCD technology that should appeal to viewers wh...
LG managed to produce a 3D TV that is both effective and practical for the majority of consumers. Even though the 47LW550T cannot resolve 1080 vertical lines in 3D mode, it is quite capable of delivering compelling 3D experience without a premium price...

For this review we tested the 47in model in the LW550T range, but it's also available in 42in (42LW550T) and 55in (55LW550T) screen sizes. All models have identical specifications except for their dimensions and power usage. We're confident that image...
Excellent for watching 3D video in a well-lit room, but can’t match the great 2D performance of the competition...

We thought there was something brewing when Sky chose LG as its “official partner” for 3DTVs last year - after the Korean giant released a single “passive” 3D screen for the Sky 3D channel’s launch. And with the arrival of this, one of dozens of new p...

Up until now, most of the marketing activity for 3D has been based around active systems, which require expensive (c. £100 per pair) LCD-shutter glasses which need charging, and can have issues with synchronisation to the 3D frame-switching signal. But an...

Anyone reading the AV press recently could be forgiven for thinking that a format war has broken out over 3D TV. LG and Samsung in particular have been quite confrontational in their marketing as they both try and promote their preferred approach to 3D de...

LG's 2011 passive TV range didn't get off to a particularly promising start. The 55LW650T was supposed to be the brand's flagship passive 3D model - until the brand's ‘Nano' models arrive much later in the year, at any rate. Yet it disappointed, partly th...

The 42LW550T certainly isn't perfect; there are plenty of areas where LG can improve things with its 2012 passive 3D range, and its key 3D reduced resolution issue isn't going to disappear. But crucially, the 42LW550T's smaller size does a handy job of hi...

LG's passive Cinema 3D technology has so far proved hit and miss. The 47LW550T impressed, while the 55LW650T disappointed, the 42-inch 42LW550T arrives with mixed expectations.It is also the latest combatant in the increasingly rancorous scuffle betwee...

caused somewhat of a stir when its won our May 2011 . Rival sets from the likes of Samsung and Sony lost out due to the LG’s super-competitive price, but will the 40LW550T be good enough to be another winner?Well, looking at the specification and wha...

The LG 42LW550T is a 42-inch passive 3D LED television also displays full high definition pictures. It comes with seven pairs of glasses that deliver two separate images to each eye to give the illusion of a 3D image. It features Freeview HD built-in...
At a little over £560, the LG 42LW550T is an affordable option for those dying to hop on the 3D TV bandwagon. The LG 42LW550T may be a bargain but it still performs admirably. The passive 3D tech works to deliver impressive 3D images from inexpensive glasses. The first time you watch something, there’s a real sense of looking at something in the third dimension. The LG 42LW550T comes with seven s...
However, as impressive as the 3D tech is, the images aren’t enough to excite. The LG 42LW550T lacks the ‘wow’ factor that other high-end 3D TVs have. The LG 42LW550T has a high standard to live up to, but doesn’t quite reach it.
The LG 42LW550T is capable of displaying images with a genuine sense of 3D but its pictures failed to get us excited. LG 42LW550T is tagged with LG, 42LW550T, review, 3D, LED television and 42-inch. Select a tag (LG, for example) to find everything on...
