Can’t Believe Your Eyes? Yes
 That Is The LG 47LM7600
           3D TV
By Richard Malcom

Buying a new TV is an investment for most people. This is
because that new TV will last you a few years and if you have
made the wrong decision, then you will be stuck with that TV and
regret that you have not done a more careful analysis before you
went ahead with your decision.

However a lot of people have found that it is no longer that
simple to make an analysis on the right kind of TV to buy as TVs
are getting more and more sophisticated these days.

Even though the shape of TVs has gone flat, there are so many
sizes and types of TV with so many features that it makes it very
confusing just to zoom down to one. Sometimes instead of
getting more enlightened by reading the reviews of the
professional reviewers, many people found that they got more
confused instead!

As such, it is sometimes just easier to learn from the experience
of those TV owners who have done their homework. This is a
review of a owner of the LG 47LM7600 TV who is so enthusiastic
about his purchase that there must be something good about the
TV.

After reading his review and watching an actual set, I can fully
agree with him as the LG 47LM7600 is indeed an awesome HD TV
beyond description. It gives you the value for money that no
other manufacturers can compete with.

By the way, this review is for the 47 inch LM7600. There is also a
bigger 55 inch model with the same specifications. If you think
you might want to have a bigger TV, then go for the 55 inch
model.

Here is fantastic experience Marty Gillis had with his LG
47LS7600 that he is sharing with us:


5.0 out of 5 stars   I am LOVING this TV!, March 22, 2012
By Marty Gillis (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I am VERY pleased with this LG ! I am writing this review to help you decide
whether or not this TV is worth upgrading to from you current set, how
things look, sound, work, what needs improvement and what is totally cool!

Interested? Then read on McDuff! But first just a bit of backstory…
                                          <<<warning: Long but pretty
                                          detailed review>>>

                                            I purchased the LG 47LM7600 to
                                            replace my 2 year old LG 47
                                            LE5400 which is now 'old tech'. I
                                            wanted a larger screen and I
                                            wanted better overall picture
                                            quality. The 3D, Web Browser and
                                            Apps were not a consideration for
                                            me, but this television IS fully
                                            loaded and I am glad to have
                                            them.

                                         This is my 2nd LG television and I
was 90% happy with my LE5400 but the flash-lighting and screen uniformity
issues were nagging at me with every Blu Ray I watched and finally I
decided it was time to move on up! I have a 3D Oppo Blu Ray player that
had never seen a 3D disc and I thought this was finally the time to jump in.

Also, I watch A LOT OF TV folks! Home theater is my passion! I knew what I
wanted to see from this new LM7600 and was very anxious to find out if I

                                  Page 2 of 9
had made the right choice. (and with Amazon's 30 Day no cost return policy
you are pretty much able to do this with no worries)

You have already seen pictures of this television. It looks even better in
person. Build quality seems nice and solid and with or without the included
stand it is a joy to behold. While no longer featuring a matte screen, the
reflective aspects are nowhere near as bad as my Kuro was and actually
adds to perceived picture quality. The 55 inch with stand comes in at around
55 pounds which is safe weight for most TV stands. Mine is sitting on an
OmniMount Echo 63-Inch Video Table and seems perfectly stable and safe
with a very good viewing height for 3D content.

The stand,                                                while heavy plastic
designed to                                               resemble metal, is
extremely                                                 easy to put together
and is the                                                most stable of any TV
stand I                                                   have ever had. It
went together quickly and is solid as a rock. I wish it could tilt forward a bit
as well as from side to side, but otherwise I like it very much.

Be aware the HDMI jacks are in the side and close to the edge of the TV. If
you don't want to see cable sticking out from the side of your 7600, then get
some right angle HDMI cables. Speaking of HDMI, I have noticed the HDMI
Handshake time is VERY quick compared to any other TV's I have owned. It
'plays nice' with all my other equipment, including an iScan Duo and Oppo
BDP-93.

ON to the testing and my initial conclusions!

The first thing ANYONE want to know is "HOW DOES IT LOOK"?? Right out of
the box the 7600 gives you a pretty good picture and after even the most
basic calibration for contrast, back-light and brightness levels you can dial in
a real jaw dropping image!

I started with Digital Video Essentials for my rough adjustments and then
moved on the the Speer and Munsil Blu Ray for more precise settings. For
the technically challenged I would recommend the Disney Worlds of Wonder
Blu Ray for easy and effective basic calibration.


                                    Page 3 of 9
Detail is noticeably enhanced from my LE5400 as are color accuracy and
screen uniformity. Bothersome flash-lighting has almost been eliminated
with just VERY small amounts peaking out the corners when no program
material is being viewed.

Truly, it hard to believe this 7600 is edge lit at times and it's performance is
more than adequate to satisfy anyone other than the totally hard core purist
that will tolerate NO flash-lighting. Motion handling is smooth and not
artificial looking.

I used Star Wars, Star Trek , and Lord of the Rings all on Blu
to put this to the test. While no current LCD/LED television
can do motion as well as a top grade plasma or the Sharp
ELITE, this is so close to being there that I can happily live
with it and not suffer any buyer remorse. The more I watch,
the more I have come to believe that motion is rendered so
close to perfect that any real world improvement would be
negligible for most viewing conditions.

Unless you can afford a fully backlit LED set with full local
dimming, this TV can give you the best picture for your
dollar. It is bright, sharp, detailed and pops. The LED Plus
DOES make a huge difference, coming from the LE5400.

I was just watching a PAL Columbo DVD (an old 1971 episode) and was
thinking to myself about how great this TV can handle standard DVD
resolution. A good trick is to engage the Mpeg Noise reduction to the "LOW"
setting (found in the Picture options sub menu) and make sure your super
resolution is turned on. I have been able to get near HD results from
standard DVD'd doing this. Great digital tool box in this TV and at no extra
charge!

Bottom line for PQ? I AM TOTALLY STOKED! If I could afford a new ELITE
from Sharp I would buy one, but this LG television is at the top end of my
price range and I feel it is a very good buy for my needs, providing a real
solid upgrade in picture quality.

The on-board processing up coverts even SD to a whole new level, with
720p looking better than I ever thought it could! Classic movies on TCM


                                    Page 4 of 9
have taken on a new visual level of quality now. COOL!

Also, LG's passive 3D tech really works. The picture is sharp, bright and
involving. The glasses are lightweight and easy to replace. The 2 to 3D
conversion is a little strange, but more than usable for a lot of different
things. The kids are gonna love it and that includes 57 year old kids like
myself! My 82 year old Dad liked watching ESPN 3D on MY set so much he
now sits in front of his OWN Brand New LG Cinema screen 3D TV.

Audio is another area that has been improved and VASTLY from my LE5400.
It is nowhere near as tinny or weak sounding and more than good enough
for casual viewing when I don't wish to fire up the 5.1 system.

If you purchase this set, be prepared to at least plunk down a bit more for a
decent sound-bar or home theater in a box system, and with a full blown 5
or 7.1 system connected you will find yourself in your own home theater.

The optical audio output will pass 5.1 Dolby Digital (the display on my Denon
amp confirms this) The media player and software/hardware has been
updated to include DTS core as well and THAT is a major improvement.

However be aware this is ONLY the case while playing back 'local media files'
via USB. All other audio is passed out the optical jack in STEREO ONLY even
if your DVR or Disc Player is sending 5.1 ! Bummer! Seems the hardware is
there, but the software is not allowing it to happen for some reason. Best to
run your audio directly to your amp and bypass the TV in that regard for
now. The only file formats I have not been able to play are FLAC and ISO
files. Even videos that my Oppo/iScan Duo combo have trouble with are
easily rendered going straight into the LG via USB. VERY NICE!

Connectivity is good with this set. Besides the prerequisite 4 HDMI
connection you also get a dedicated HDMI audio return channel and an
optical audio output. LG has bumped up the number or USB inputs to 3 and
you can now connect a USB hub for all your external USB drives, one used
for apps and one more for good measure. If your computer doesn't have
HDMI you still get an RGB input.

You can still connect via component video (although it is being phased out
now) so your old gear is still viable. You can use the onboard wireless for
your DLNA stuff or wire up to the LAN port. The combinations are pretty well

                                  Page 5 of 9
thought out and there are enough options to accommodate most anyone's
equipment. I feed this display from an Iscan Duo which processes all my
external devices but have my Fios HD DVR connected directly to the LG to
eliminate an extra HDMI handshake and the LG video processing is totally up
to the job.

Where I live we cannot be reached by over the air signals so I can't
comment on how the onboard tuner behaves. The scaler in the TV is pretty
good and again it is much improved from just 2 years ago for upscaling to
1080p from your DVR or USB file source. The first time I tested the on-board
media player I was floored by the image quality. I didn't expect it to be so
good!

Playing media files from DNLA or a USB drive is effortless with a nice well
thought out on screen file browser. I have found one of LG's strong points is
the sophistication and functionality of their operating systems. I like them! A
LOT!

The main complaint I have about this LG is the Magic remote. It DOES work
and with practice it gets easier and then it gets pretty quick, but I would
prefer LG would ship this with a standard remote in addition to the Magic
one.

I use a Logitech Harmony One for everything except cursor functions and for
me that is a better way to control things. Rather than go with a wireless
connection, I connected the LAN port to my Fios router and get a pretty
snappy performance from Apps and the Net Browser. When I say snappy, I
do NOT mean fast! While featuring the same interface as the next two
models up, the 7600 sports only a single core processor and as such
between the TV OS and the apps the overall app/browser performance is
sluggish.

I think some extra RAM would clear things up and am hoping for a firmware
update that will allow an external USB stick to be used as such. Otherwise,
there is a very good chance that you will be disappointed in the performance
of the both the apps and the browser experience. I do not use Netlfix
anymore and can't comment on how well it works. I plan to attach a camera
for Skype and will post as to my results at a later date. (I am notorious for
updating my tech reviews) ALSO, the included manual and even the online

                                   Page 6 of 9
manual are just NOT very comprehensive and leave a LOT to be discovered
by trial and error. If you are tech savvy at all this will be a non issue.

So is this TV a safe bet? That depends how obsessive compulsive you are
about your video quality. If you are willing to trade a very small amount of
black level for what is most likely the best 3D around and and don't mind a
semi reflective screen, then YES for the money this LG 7600 is a killer TV. It
looks good, sounds good, has plenty of features, options and is upgradable
via USB.

I can play all my media files easily, MKV's and Xvids play and look great, SD
is much improved and HD video is out of this world plus the LG's user
interface is well thought out with some pretty mature software
implementation. 10 years ago a television that looked this good and had this
high level of function would have cost 20 thousand dollars or more. This is
truly a great time to be a movie fan!

I am guessing a very large percentage of buyers will be totally happy with
this TV.


As of now, I have ZERO buyers remorse and can recommend this LG with
confidence.


If any issues arise or I find new things that are notable I will edit my review.
Cheers! Marty G

Conclusion
As you can see, all these discerning owners of the LG 47LS7600 have such a good
experience with their LG 47LS7600 that they have no hesitation to praise it to the
hilt and recommend it.

You don’t have to take their word for it. Experience it yourself. If you buy it from
Amazon, you have its 30 days no cost policy and you are pretty much protected if
you decide it is not up to your expectation.

However I believe you will not want to let go of your LG 47LM7600 once you get
hold of it and you will be extremely happy with the LG 47LM7600 TV.

Now the tough decision is whether to get the 47 inch or 55 inch. I would seriously
recommend putting in a little bit more money to get the bigger screen. After all it
will give you few years of pure enjoyment.

    Buy from Amazon. Click here to buy the LG 47LM7600 TV.

Can’t Believe Your Eyes? Yes That Is The LG 47LM7600 3D TV

  • 1. Can’t Believe Your Eyes? Yes That Is The LG 47LM7600 3D TV By Richard Malcom Buying a new TV is an investment for most people. This is because that new TV will last you a few years and if you have made the wrong decision, then you will be stuck with that TV and regret that you have not done a more careful analysis before you went ahead with your decision. However a lot of people have found that it is no longer that simple to make an analysis on the right kind of TV to buy as TVs are getting more and more sophisticated these days. Even though the shape of TVs has gone flat, there are so many sizes and types of TV with so many features that it makes it very confusing just to zoom down to one. Sometimes instead of getting more enlightened by reading the reviews of the professional reviewers, many people found that they got more confused instead! As such, it is sometimes just easier to learn from the experience of those TV owners who have done their homework. This is a review of a owner of the LG 47LM7600 TV who is so enthusiastic about his purchase that there must be something good about the TV. After reading his review and watching an actual set, I can fully agree with him as the LG 47LM7600 is indeed an awesome HD TV beyond description. It gives you the value for money that no other manufacturers can compete with. Page 1 of 9
  • 2. By the way, this review is for the 47 inch LM7600. There is also a bigger 55 inch model with the same specifications. If you think you might want to have a bigger TV, then go for the 55 inch model. Here is fantastic experience Marty Gillis had with his LG 47LS7600 that he is sharing with us: 5.0 out of 5 stars I am LOVING this TV!, March 22, 2012 By Marty Gillis (Los Angeles, CA USA) I am VERY pleased with this LG ! I am writing this review to help you decide whether or not this TV is worth upgrading to from you current set, how things look, sound, work, what needs improvement and what is totally cool! Interested? Then read on McDuff! But first just a bit of backstory… <<<warning: Long but pretty detailed review>>> I purchased the LG 47LM7600 to replace my 2 year old LG 47 LE5400 which is now 'old tech'. I wanted a larger screen and I wanted better overall picture quality. The 3D, Web Browser and Apps were not a consideration for me, but this television IS fully loaded and I am glad to have them. This is my 2nd LG television and I was 90% happy with my LE5400 but the flash-lighting and screen uniformity issues were nagging at me with every Blu Ray I watched and finally I decided it was time to move on up! I have a 3D Oppo Blu Ray player that had never seen a 3D disc and I thought this was finally the time to jump in. Also, I watch A LOT OF TV folks! Home theater is my passion! I knew what I wanted to see from this new LM7600 and was very anxious to find out if I Page 2 of 9
  • 3. had made the right choice. (and with Amazon's 30 Day no cost return policy you are pretty much able to do this with no worries) You have already seen pictures of this television. It looks even better in person. Build quality seems nice and solid and with or without the included stand it is a joy to behold. While no longer featuring a matte screen, the reflective aspects are nowhere near as bad as my Kuro was and actually adds to perceived picture quality. The 55 inch with stand comes in at around 55 pounds which is safe weight for most TV stands. Mine is sitting on an OmniMount Echo 63-Inch Video Table and seems perfectly stable and safe with a very good viewing height for 3D content. The stand, while heavy plastic designed to resemble metal, is extremely easy to put together and is the most stable of any TV stand I have ever had. It went together quickly and is solid as a rock. I wish it could tilt forward a bit as well as from side to side, but otherwise I like it very much. Be aware the HDMI jacks are in the side and close to the edge of the TV. If you don't want to see cable sticking out from the side of your 7600, then get some right angle HDMI cables. Speaking of HDMI, I have noticed the HDMI Handshake time is VERY quick compared to any other TV's I have owned. It 'plays nice' with all my other equipment, including an iScan Duo and Oppo BDP-93. ON to the testing and my initial conclusions! The first thing ANYONE want to know is "HOW DOES IT LOOK"?? Right out of the box the 7600 gives you a pretty good picture and after even the most basic calibration for contrast, back-light and brightness levels you can dial in a real jaw dropping image! I started with Digital Video Essentials for my rough adjustments and then moved on the the Speer and Munsil Blu Ray for more precise settings. For the technically challenged I would recommend the Disney Worlds of Wonder Blu Ray for easy and effective basic calibration. Page 3 of 9
  • 4. Detail is noticeably enhanced from my LE5400 as are color accuracy and screen uniformity. Bothersome flash-lighting has almost been eliminated with just VERY small amounts peaking out the corners when no program material is being viewed. Truly, it hard to believe this 7600 is edge lit at times and it's performance is more than adequate to satisfy anyone other than the totally hard core purist that will tolerate NO flash-lighting. Motion handling is smooth and not artificial looking. I used Star Wars, Star Trek , and Lord of the Rings all on Blu to put this to the test. While no current LCD/LED television can do motion as well as a top grade plasma or the Sharp ELITE, this is so close to being there that I can happily live with it and not suffer any buyer remorse. The more I watch, the more I have come to believe that motion is rendered so close to perfect that any real world improvement would be negligible for most viewing conditions. Unless you can afford a fully backlit LED set with full local dimming, this TV can give you the best picture for your dollar. It is bright, sharp, detailed and pops. The LED Plus DOES make a huge difference, coming from the LE5400. I was just watching a PAL Columbo DVD (an old 1971 episode) and was thinking to myself about how great this TV can handle standard DVD resolution. A good trick is to engage the Mpeg Noise reduction to the "LOW" setting (found in the Picture options sub menu) and make sure your super resolution is turned on. I have been able to get near HD results from standard DVD'd doing this. Great digital tool box in this TV and at no extra charge! Bottom line for PQ? I AM TOTALLY STOKED! If I could afford a new ELITE from Sharp I would buy one, but this LG television is at the top end of my price range and I feel it is a very good buy for my needs, providing a real solid upgrade in picture quality. The on-board processing up coverts even SD to a whole new level, with 720p looking better than I ever thought it could! Classic movies on TCM Page 4 of 9
  • 5. have taken on a new visual level of quality now. COOL! Also, LG's passive 3D tech really works. The picture is sharp, bright and involving. The glasses are lightweight and easy to replace. The 2 to 3D conversion is a little strange, but more than usable for a lot of different things. The kids are gonna love it and that includes 57 year old kids like myself! My 82 year old Dad liked watching ESPN 3D on MY set so much he now sits in front of his OWN Brand New LG Cinema screen 3D TV. Audio is another area that has been improved and VASTLY from my LE5400. It is nowhere near as tinny or weak sounding and more than good enough for casual viewing when I don't wish to fire up the 5.1 system. If you purchase this set, be prepared to at least plunk down a bit more for a decent sound-bar or home theater in a box system, and with a full blown 5 or 7.1 system connected you will find yourself in your own home theater. The optical audio output will pass 5.1 Dolby Digital (the display on my Denon amp confirms this) The media player and software/hardware has been updated to include DTS core as well and THAT is a major improvement. However be aware this is ONLY the case while playing back 'local media files' via USB. All other audio is passed out the optical jack in STEREO ONLY even if your DVR or Disc Player is sending 5.1 ! Bummer! Seems the hardware is there, but the software is not allowing it to happen for some reason. Best to run your audio directly to your amp and bypass the TV in that regard for now. The only file formats I have not been able to play are FLAC and ISO files. Even videos that my Oppo/iScan Duo combo have trouble with are easily rendered going straight into the LG via USB. VERY NICE! Connectivity is good with this set. Besides the prerequisite 4 HDMI connection you also get a dedicated HDMI audio return channel and an optical audio output. LG has bumped up the number or USB inputs to 3 and you can now connect a USB hub for all your external USB drives, one used for apps and one more for good measure. If your computer doesn't have HDMI you still get an RGB input. You can still connect via component video (although it is being phased out now) so your old gear is still viable. You can use the onboard wireless for your DLNA stuff or wire up to the LAN port. The combinations are pretty well Page 5 of 9
  • 6. thought out and there are enough options to accommodate most anyone's equipment. I feed this display from an Iscan Duo which processes all my external devices but have my Fios HD DVR connected directly to the LG to eliminate an extra HDMI handshake and the LG video processing is totally up to the job. Where I live we cannot be reached by over the air signals so I can't comment on how the onboard tuner behaves. The scaler in the TV is pretty good and again it is much improved from just 2 years ago for upscaling to 1080p from your DVR or USB file source. The first time I tested the on-board media player I was floored by the image quality. I didn't expect it to be so good! Playing media files from DNLA or a USB drive is effortless with a nice well thought out on screen file browser. I have found one of LG's strong points is the sophistication and functionality of their operating systems. I like them! A LOT! The main complaint I have about this LG is the Magic remote. It DOES work and with practice it gets easier and then it gets pretty quick, but I would prefer LG would ship this with a standard remote in addition to the Magic one. I use a Logitech Harmony One for everything except cursor functions and for me that is a better way to control things. Rather than go with a wireless connection, I connected the LAN port to my Fios router and get a pretty snappy performance from Apps and the Net Browser. When I say snappy, I do NOT mean fast! While featuring the same interface as the next two models up, the 7600 sports only a single core processor and as such between the TV OS and the apps the overall app/browser performance is sluggish. I think some extra RAM would clear things up and am hoping for a firmware update that will allow an external USB stick to be used as such. Otherwise, there is a very good chance that you will be disappointed in the performance of the both the apps and the browser experience. I do not use Netlfix anymore and can't comment on how well it works. I plan to attach a camera for Skype and will post as to my results at a later date. (I am notorious for updating my tech reviews) ALSO, the included manual and even the online Page 6 of 9
  • 7. manual are just NOT very comprehensive and leave a LOT to be discovered by trial and error. If you are tech savvy at all this will be a non issue. So is this TV a safe bet? That depends how obsessive compulsive you are about your video quality. If you are willing to trade a very small amount of black level for what is most likely the best 3D around and and don't mind a semi reflective screen, then YES for the money this LG 7600 is a killer TV. It looks good, sounds good, has plenty of features, options and is upgradable via USB. I can play all my media files easily, MKV's and Xvids play and look great, SD is much improved and HD video is out of this world plus the LG's user interface is well thought out with some pretty mature software implementation. 10 years ago a television that looked this good and had this high level of function would have cost 20 thousand dollars or more. This is truly a great time to be a movie fan! I am guessing a very large percentage of buyers will be totally happy with this TV. As of now, I have ZERO buyers remorse and can recommend this LG with confidence. If any issues arise or I find new things that are notable I will edit my review. Cheers!
