LG 55LW6500 Reviews
LG Infinia 55LW6500 55-Inch 240Hz 1080p 3D LED HDTV with Smart TV
Review By “Dr.Thames S.”
I write this review within three weeks. Because real experience is gained only after sometime. So I put the last three weeks very intensively with the features and probably tried everything. So, Let’s make it quick.
Processing
The processing is great in short words. The optical glass of the frame looks very classy. The standard black design is very good effect. The back is very well made and attached with several screws. In sum, today’s television very similar in design and differ only by the most printed brand name. Even the most responsive touch controls on the lower right front of today’s standard of every manufacturer.
The assembly instructions are enclosed, even as a layman is not necessary. The structure is self explanatory and very easy.If you feel insecure when it comes to deal with such an expensive device, you should build him up with two people.
Connections
LG offers everything you need. A connector for the antenna and an integrated tuner are naturally present, so that theoretically no need for an additional receiver. Not to be forgotten is also the CI slot, the card with the appropriate adapter, the direct viewing of pay TV allows.
With four HDMI ports to the latest 1.4, and two USB ports, TV is also equipped in this respect perfectly. USB ports are on TV now compulsory. Nothing is more convenient than a USB stick with the stream the latest episode of a TV series into the socket on the TV and upscaled to experience.
Menu
What is common to the menu is very clear and understandable. This also plays a role in the appearance of the menus. Selecting the signal source is not just the words as HDMI1, HDMI2 or USB1 and USB2 are displayed. Much more this is better explained with diagrams. Especially television laymen may not know the difference between USB and HDMI and get this as the basis of the appearance of the source port also displayed graphically. Similarly, in the format settings for image display, for example, the differences between 16:9 and 14:9 or 4:3 are presented graphically. Through the HOME key takes you quickly into the setup to make any necessary adjustments.
Tuning
For cable reception I can not give any experience, because I do not have these ports. Selection of satellite begins with the channel search and take depending on the number of stations found a couple of minutes. The ordering of television channels and radio stations is very easy on the hand. Manual sorting and arranging for group selection is the TV provider is not a problem and goes out of hand.
Picture Configuration
Everything here is some set around the image. The formats 16:9, Auto, Full Width, 4:3, 14:9 and Cinema Zoom offered. I personally always prefer the automatic setting because I emitted 4:3 material, may convert at all in 16:9. Thus, the broadcast material remains in its original state. Anyone with a small image on a large screen format or cropped have no problem, can confidently rely on this setting.
Also very easy and clear audio settings are kept. Whoever wants to make the automatic volume adjustment advantage.
With the function Clear Voice LG offers the function to improve the voices on playback. I never use them, because I use another function 3D surround sound, which cannot be combined with a clear voice.
Network
The network can be easily set. Once connected via a cable or a USB adapter, the menu is to enter the network key and you can make smart function for the TV settings.
Important for me is the function of the software update. With a few clicks you have so easily able to check whether a new firmware for the LG is available. This was also the first thing I’ve done after initialization of the network – without problems.
Media Players
When playing media, the menu is easy to clear and also very simple. If you have a USB stick for example want to hear music or watch a film that opens a popup to open the menus. With the remote you can directly view any existing data or film, video files and photos broken down individually to display. For many data on a Stick definitely an advantage for clarity. Also the remote control is really good. Beautifully finished, excellent feel, nicely decorated, everything is easy to find and learn.
Smart Share and DLNA media center functionality
The TV is DLNA certified. DLNA enables wireless networking with other DLNA devices, which also works across manufacturers. This allows media content (pictures, movies, music) of a PC wirelessly networked with the LG TV. This access the material and gives it back to the TV.
The PC as a media server can be easily set up with the freely available software Medialink. So I could access music, movies and pictures that were stored on my PC and shared, accessed and viewed directly on the TV. An optional box from LG, it is also possible to all DLNA devices like cell phones and laptops to connect. I was able to test the function with my Panasonic BluRay player, which worked very well with the television.
Smart TV
With the Home Premium or button on the remote control to boot into the Smart TV world. The navigation is very simple and clear. Signing up is easy as well, and LG would not ask for personal data. Just only Username and password must be set.
There are many other features such as Twitter or Google Maps on your TV just yet make no sense. Also The use of Facebook on such a device I don’t think it’s a good idea. However, all the offerings of the retrieval of the evening news still seems most useful.
Picture quality
The picture is sharp and beautiful to look at in detail. LG also offers an excellent colors and deeper black. SD programs are scaled up very well. Anyone connected to the home theater system receives a normal DVD looks at the appropriate source material is an upscaled image in near HD quality. Especially with this great HD TV is an absolute pleasure and a really nice experience. Whether movies, sports and documentaries.
Otherwise, the TV offers in all other areas is also a fabulous picture. There absolutely is no problem conjuring up a natural image on the panel. The backlight is higher and will still get rich, accurate colors without pallor.
No Streaking during fast movements. Especially in sports like soccer, tennis, ice hockey, or fast-action scenes where the cameras have captured the images always fast, the TruMotion 240Hz technology that will provide in connection with a low response rate for a detailed picture all the time. I love to watch hockey games, there is no trace of streaks. It’s amazing how realistic the image appears even in fast scenes. Overall, the picture is so good, only positive findings!
CINEMA 3D
I absolutely open mind on the 3D technology. I’ve never attended a 3D cinema, I could also still no 3D experience. In order to bring it directly to the point – I’m thrilled.
The 3D technology is fantastic and it works almost perfectly. I’ve seen rich colors and sharp images, Especially Ice Age in 3D it has done to me in this piece of technology. Madness and breathtaking as the mammoth was in my room. The LG supplied with 4 Pairs of 3D Glasses included microfiber cloth for cleaning. The glasses sit very well and fills the field of view very well. Processes the glasses is also excellent, the plastic layer of the glasses seems thick enough.

3D conversion function
As a special treat, LG has also integrated a conversion function from 2D to 3D, which I personally find very interesting. In standard mode, the conversion function is not as good as the validity and disappointed. So you have to make fine adjustments depending on the materials that are easy to use, When the conversion feature was turned on, you can change the depth of the effect on the menu button. What can I say, it works really well. Of course, obviously not as good as a real 3D production.
Sound quality
The 2 x 10 watt speakers ranging from completely for normal use. The sound comes out very nicely. The artificially generated surround effects can be seen. However, one cannot expect miracles even with a device for that price. Here everything is clearly laid out on home theater.
Conclusion:
Who plays with the idea to purchase a new TV set and it puts an emphasis on modern technology, can access this device safely. There is
almost nothing that LG has skipped to the latest technology. Included the 3D functionality offered by a new sense of television viewers and manipulated. and thanks to conversion function itself offers new interesting possibilities for the daily program. The menu system I feel just as perfect. Very clear and modern LG knows so well to inspire even non-technical person.
I’m not thrilled by the Smart TV function, but I can hardly blame. As mentioned, I think that this feature just yet in its infancy, with LG, as well as every other manufacturer. Currently offer are just too few features and useful content are scarce.
After three weeks of intensive testing, I can only recommend that all interested parties a purchase. You will not be disappointed!
