LG 3D Impressions

[Dirtydan]

I bought an LG LW5300 bundle from Amazon ($999), this was for my daughter-in-law. It's a 47" and came with LG Blu-Ray player an 4 pairs of 3D glasses. It's LCD with edge lit LED.
I set it up and the first impression was that it didn't have quite as sharp a picture as my 52" Sharp led backlit set, but a big improvement over the Samsung Captain Kirk50" that it replaced. That being said, I was amazed at the 3D image from D*, also it does Faux 3d on a 2D transmission that according to reviews is the best in the industry, it works pretty good, but not as good as real 3D This LG has a neat picture setting Wizard that actually works pretty good, although the picture out of the box was close to perfect. The 3d is the "passive"' type, so no expensive battery powered glasses needed.

Thanks Dan,

The 47" LG 3D is on my radar, low power, excellent 2D, faux 3D, and 3D with Blu-Ray player. It is on Walmart's BF ads at $799, so seems a VG deal.

That beats the $999 it was, also $999 at Amazon, where I got it, no tax or shipping charges.

The fact that the glasses are passive is a great deal for price and future replacements. How does it look without the glasses?

Of course it's not as "sharp" as your Sharp ( there HAS to be a pun in here somewhere ) HDTV. With LG, in 3D, you're only getting HALF definition, not FULL definition 3D, as is found with other 3D sets. You're only viewing 540 lines of resolution instead of 1080.

Correct, but there's another tradeoff.

With full definition active shutter 3D you have a nice headache after the movie, where with 3D passive polarized glasses, aka half-definition, you miss that nice headache.
