I am in a market to get my first 3D TV soon. May be in an week or so. The models I have in consideration are

a)Sony HX series
b) LG LM series
c)Samsung ES series

But I think the active glasses from Sony and Samsung may be great disadvantage for me. No doubt Sony has a very good Picture quality.
Also I would be using the TV for high speed gaming as well so refresh rate is also into consideration.
What's your take Guyz?

i recently been to one of LG dealer nearby my home and he showed me a demo of LG 3D tv.. the results was amazing.. what a quality.. i just loved it.. i went there to check 42inch LED tv but after seeing this 3D tv of lg.. my choice have changed but i have little budget issue so can't get that one..

He showed me 3D in two tvs.. one was of 42inch and other one must be 55inch(i didn't check the size) but the result was amazing.. and also, he showed me dual 2D and 3D viewing from two different glass which was amazing.. one person can see 3D and other one can see 2D also! i liked that feature.

What according to you would be the best one? 42 inch or 55 inch??

Demo all the TVs yourself. If you don't feel much difference in 3D performance between HX850 and LG, then get the HX850 as it has a 240Hz panel/Motionflow 800hz, much better black levels,color accuracy and overall picture dynamics.

That means you will be easily watching it over an hour or two... That means, if u get an active set, you'll be seriously having headache n other problems.. I think passive 3D is best suited for you.. :)

And that will be deciding factor for u!..
IMO, Sony HX850 will be great with high refresh rate, good contrast ratio, better PQ, etc..

LG LM6500 onwards, the quality is quite good.
My personal fav, LM7600 has a PQ quality better than the flagship LM9600 (something of 9-series :p )..!!

The Choice entirely depends on you!

What's your take Guyz?

Do you have a budget? What about screen size? You should not arbitrarily decide which screen size to get because the size you need will be entirely dependent on how far from the TV you will be using it. For example, if you're only going to sit two metres from the TV, there's no point in getting a 55 inch TV. In this case, a 42 inch TV would be the most appropriate. You should sit 4-4.5 meters away from a 55 inch TV.

Aside from the size, if you are into gaming, I would highly suggest that you look into the LM6700 or LM7600. These TVs will be perfect for your gaming needs.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

LG WRman Sherlock, out!

LG set has some high input lag, so if you are gonna use the TV for competitive gaming you should keep this in mind.

The LG 55LM760T further suffers with a more familiar LG problem: input lag. We measured a 68ms delay between pictures arriving into the TV and them finally appearing onscreen which, while actually not as high as some previous LG TVs, is still potentially enough to negatively impact your gaming performance with some types of game.

I am aware of the amazing picture quality in Sony HX series.
What's your take on LM7600?
Is it worth the price???

Thanks for the reply WR sherlock.
As far as the screen size is concerned, I am thinking to get it around 47" or 55". Though going for a 55" will cost me too much so I had to look into this as well.

Visited a LG shoppe located near my home in Laxmi Nagar(Delhi). LM7600 wasn't in the stock there so wasn't able to get the demo of the same. Got a look at LM6200 and LM6400 and they were quite good.
The salesguy present in the shop also told me about the current offers available on the LG 3D TV but wasn't able to tell the more details in brief as he said the concerned guy for this is on leave today.
I am still to get the demo of Samsung and sony before i make my final call..

HX850 is the best led t.v out there after hx950 with black levels comparable to a plasma like ST50, also a very high refresh rate and mci though its pricey but worth it

The Motion Control is not very good....

When I say that the motion sensing is not very good at all, I say this NOT because I'm an LG Rep, but because I've tried it out myself and it's all just gimmicks. Honestly. Then to add fuel to the fire, not all applications even support the Motion Control -- namely Facebook. There's also a lot of lag, and a lot of trouble trying to get the TV to recognize your hand. Oh, and you have to be literally right in front of the TV to get it work properly. Perhaps I'll show you what I mean through a video....

Now, let me put my LG Rep hat back on....

LG supports .avi files, which are generally DivX and XviD, and MKV files! So pretty much, it will play most files you throw at it.

@Sam22

I'm sorry but what do you mean by "deal" with Active 3D. As I've said before, last year there was quite a big gap in 3D performance between Passive 3D sets and Active 3D sets. Active sets had lot of flickering and were just not that comfortable. But this year the gap is very little. Passive 3D is still slightly better but only for those few people who cannot tolerate Active 3D. You just demo HX850 3D once and see what you think

There are reviews that have rated HX850 3D performance above Passive 3D LG Tvs

Though yes, glasses are considerably more expensive than Passive. So if you have a large family then Passive should be preferred as one Sony 3D glasses cost 3.5k. You do get 2 glasses free with the TV but if you have like 6 or more people at home then buying 4 more 3D glasses will set you back by about 14k. Whereas in LG you get 6 glasses free I guess. And additional ones cost Rs.1000 for two or something

So Passive 3D is more cost effective, but in performance not much difference.

oh,,,I know that active sets have became a lot better than what they used to be last year but don't they still lack in terms of battery being used and flicker at times as well.

Can you throw us the URL for HX850 being rated above LG passive sets so that i can enhance my knowledge in a more better way.

Don't consider Samsung in case of high end 3D sets.

Apart from that, though HX850 uses active tech still it is the best out there, I think you should visit a local showroom near you then only you will realise the difference.

My suggestion would be LG 42LM6400. Reason - best combination of 3D tech (passive), features and price (around 80K - with some Delhi dealers). And if after a few years, 3D TVs really go out of fashion, you will not feel the pinch. On the other hand, if 3D TV really picks up, you will still not feel bad about replacing it.

I could not agree more! Reviews from other people should only be used as a guide. It's like trying different flavors of ice cream. There will be a bunch of flavors that your friends absolutely recommend you. And from those bunch, perhaps the majority you may like, but there will definitely be some that you don't like. And most of all, you won't know what it tastes like until you've tried it yourself! That is why all half-way decent ice cream shops let you try different flavors before you buy it.

Okay, I have this incredible urge for some ice cream now.

I just wanted to throw a line out for the LG LM7600 and mention that the LM7600 is definitely a very good all-round performer. While the other TV you were looking at may specialize in 2D picture, the LM7600 is definitely no slouch on the 2D PQ either. There are many reviews about the LM7600 saying it has good picture quality:

LG 47LM7600 Review - Watch CNET's Video Review
LG LM7600 - reviews - TVs - none - PC World Australia

These are just two of them. Things to note are the 3D picture quality as well as the Smart TV features, which are both very good.

Also keep in mind if you are into competitive gaming, you should avoid LG models as they have higher input lag. HX850 is 3 times faster than LM7600/8600/9600.

If you are just casual gamer then nothing much to worry

Also keep in mind if you are into competitive gaming, you should avoid LG models as they have higher input lag. HX850 is 3 times faster than LM7600/8600/9600.

If you are just casual gamer then nothing much to worry

Yes, the LG models do have some input lag, but it is not as much as you may think. The LM7600 is rated at around 30-40 ms, which is still fairly decent for gaming. The HX850 has 28-32 ms, which is better, but not by much. If you're a competitive gamer, you have no choice but to go with a plasma anyways because they have the least amount of input lag (aside from a CRT). However, then you can get problems with image retention if you play very often (those static HUDs!), and that's never fun.

PS: You can read reviews on both TVs here (it's where I found the exact input lag numbers):
LM7600: LG LM7600 / LM760T review - FlatpanelsHD
HX850: Sony HX850 (HX853) review - FlatpanelsHD

From my experience, this website does very comprehensive reviews. Check it out!

There are some sites that measured 100ms, thats thrice as much lag as HX850's 30ms.

Anyway, get a demo asap. If you care about picture quality then HX850 is a no brainer. It produces better picture quality than LG LM9600 flagship model even, so comparing it with LM7600 is not even fair.

If you are a fan of LG then you can get LG of course. LM7600 is a very good tv but not in the same league as HX850.

Or if you want the 2D picture quality of HX850 yet don't want to miss passive 3D then wait till April next year. Sony 2013 bravia range will use passive 3D.

I am not a fan of LG or what so ever brand but I noticed that there are so many users who have got LG 3D TV in recent times and they are giving positive feedback from them.
The same holds true for Sony Hx850 as well, so that's the only reason that I am not able to decide which among the two to go for.
I am gonna spend huge money so I don't wanna regret for my decision after getting the TV.

Hey Sherlock Can you please tell me something about this TV.. Never Heard about this....

I don't think you would wanna buy 27 inch 3D TV ???? That model is a 27 inch TV/monitor

Nov 30, 2012 at 3:56 PM
Yes, as randomuser 111 has said, that is a "personal' smart TV, meaning the size is a smaller. That model is a 27 inch. I do no believe that would be ideal for your living room. Perhaps for your bedroom it will be okay.

But if you want more information about this TV anyway, let me know! I'll be happy to answer any questions for you.

No, it is currently only available in European markets, I believe. However, I have no reason to believe why it will NOT be launched in India.

So you finally did demo it :)

Share your demo experience and also which other TV sets you compared it with.

Though I must say I'm really surprised you decided to get the HX850 finally. I always thought you will get LG only as you seem to like LG a lot and also you yourself recommended LG TVs mostly.

Thanks WRSherlock.....Thanks for letting me so many tech details of every Tv.
I will surely post the pics once I get the TV.

Yes, I did deomed it and The PQ of the TV was very stunning.
I can understand your amazement that I am going for Sony. I like LG because of the flicker free Passive tech and they are a bit cheaper than Sony as well.
I hope, I don't experience any flicker once i get my sony HX850..

You didnt demo HX850 3D performance??

I did demoed the 3D performance wearing the active shutter glasses and found them to be quite light weighted.
Since I demoed it only for 10 minutes so I am not sure that whether i would get flickering while watching it for long hours.

Unless you plan to watch 3D more than 5 hours per day, there is nothing to worry :)

Which size you going for ? 40/46/55 ? And what deal are you getting

Passive 3D Tv or active 3D TV - flicker free 3D glasses or active shutter glasses - it doesn't matter - it is simply not possible to watch (in 3D) a 3D TV for 5 hours in a day. In fact, even passive 3D TV makers - like LG - advise in their manuals to avoid watching for more than 30-45 minutes at a stretch. If you are sensitive to flicker, active 3D is simply ruled out - you wouldn't be able to watch it even for 5 minutes. And remember, different persons react differently to flicker - so you may not feel it, while your brother may be hugely bothered by it.

@sam22 - Congratulations on your purchase - you got a good TV for yourself. Do post your experiences about it.

Thanks a lot Sherlock, I know you might be a bit sad that I didn't bought a LG 3D TV but i would like to give you a small suggestion that please ask LG to work on Picture Quality factor a bit..

A Short Experience till date with Sony HX850

The 2D picture quality on the TV is just amazing, though i still have to watch a 3D movie on it. I am not able to explore much about the TV till date as my BOSS isn't allowing me to do so, I think I would take a full review of it on 25th..
Till then, Just keep Guessing :p :D

No worries! I am not heartbroken or anything of the sort. I am glad that you are happy with your purchase! Maybe since you will have a bit of time since you will have off tomorrow for Christmas you will be able to give us an update on your TV!

In any case, LG has a lot of new surprises in store for 2013! Just wait and see!
