 Not perfect, but overall very good.Jul 24, 2011
By E.L.
So, I have the 65lw6500 I got from here. Delivered no problem in one week. It replaced an LG 55LH90.
Here are my thoughts after a few days with it in no particular order. By the way, a little background on me....used to be REALLY into home theater, then I got married, so now I just enjoy it. I'm happy with the 80% solution. I have excellent vision and don't get motion sick or anything else like that. I do not like active shutter at all. It just irritates me, and the dimming and flickering I see when I move my head is a total deal breaker. YMMV
Anyway:
-it's freaking heavy. Also, it just seems huge compared to my 55". FYI, I sit about 10 feet.
-2d is very good. Surprisingly even good on SD content from Dish Network and older stuff on Netflix. Completely watchable.
- 3d is fantastic. Tangled is WOW! Of course, good source material makes a world of difference. Green Hornet added nothing in 3d, whereas Tangled was actually a more enjoyable movie in 3d. It was like a different film. I haven't seen any 3d issues.
-there is some flash lighting from the corners. I can tell a difference in blacks from my LH90 that had full local dimming backlight. (this does NOT have local dimming, unlike the 55 and 47 model 6500 listed in the table above. It's slightly annoying to me, but my wife doesn't even notice...also, I didn't point it out to her. Some things you just can't unsee. It improved as I adjusted the settings. The picture wizard is quite good.
-the edge lighting is more viewable as you move to the opposite side. For example, if I sit left of center, the right side of the screen becomes "less black" because of that side's edge light. Vice versa
- the magic remote is pretty nice, but not totally necessary..I wouldn't spend extra if it wasn't already included. There's not really any better way to explain it than comparing it to a Wii Remote. it also comes with another remote that has more buttons. Neither is what I would call a universal remote.
-the built in apps are cool. If you have a receiver with ARC, it's great to just click on Netflix, vudu, whatever and have the receiver switch over. The apps also work well. There are maybe 20apps or so? Netflix, Hulu, Amazon on demand (yes, watch the free stuff if you have Prime shipping), Pandora, Facebook, and some other ones that I don't recall.
-PS3 and Xbox 360 with kinect work just fine through my Onkyo r360 receiver. PS3 played Tangled blu ray with zero issues. I even put Ratchet and Clank in 3d conversion mode and it was pretty cool.
-speaking of, the 2d to 3d conversion is fun. It doesn't always work, but I'd say it's probably 85% right. I played Spongebob from Netflix and it got it mostly right, but there were times where his body, pants and legs were in the foreground, but his belt would be put in the background. Stuff like that. Generally, though, really cool.
In all, I like it. If you are the kind of person who NEEDS the blackest blacks, don't get it. But, passive 3d, large screen and 3d conversion sold me vs some other sets.

 Amazing TV SetJul 08, 2011
By ringnjc
Install:
Just received the TV yesterday via freight shipping. Package was in great shape and the delivery men wanted me to open the box and test the TV before they left. This set is absolutely stunning even when it is off! The great news is that it's even more amazing on. It is fairly thin at less than 1" and is a claimed 93lbs without the stand. It seemed alot heavier, but it may just be the sheer size of the TV that makes the weight awkward to handle. I mounted it with a super slim Sanus mount with the help of another person, of course, I'm no hulk! I did not have an inset electrical outlet, so I had to buy one of those flat three prong extension cords in order to be able to get the TV close enough to the wall to snap in the bottom. Since I mounted it above my fireplace mantle I got a tilting mount so that I could tilt the set downward since it sits about 5.5' above the ground.
Features:
I was most excited about the Cinema 3D so I will start there:
-uses the same cheap glasses as in the theaters, which is great.
-they are light weight and no worries if a kid breaks them, plus we have a collection of smaller glasses the kids get when going to see a 3D flick.
-The 3D quality is bright, very dimensional, and does not give me a migraine like the active shutter sets do. There is no flickering and dimming.
-True 3D content from the HD satellite Receiver or blu-ray is just gorgeous. better than the theaters as the screen is brighter.
-2D to 3D actually works and adds dimension to almost any show you're watching. It's fun to play with.
-My overall opinion is that Cinema 3D is the new standard until we can all go sans glasses some day
2D HD quality:
I am no videophile, but the pure 2D HD quality is fantastic, and amazing considering this set is 65".
Colors are vibrant, blacks are deep, overall i am very pleased.
Apps and Magic remote:
-the Magic remote is very much like a Wii remote and really makes using the apps, web browser and other features a breeze. you can also download the LG TV remote for your ios device and control the TV that way, worked really well.
-There are the standard set of apps including netflix as well as other freebies and ones you can buy. There is 256mb of built in storage, but with a limited amount of apps, and most coming in under 5mb, storage space won't be an issue, and you may be able to harness an extra USB stick, but I am not 100% sure.
Wireless adaptor:
I could not get the included wireless adapter to work with my d-Link wireless router, so I had to pull out my old trusty Linksys G router and the LG adapter recognized it right away. I tried many security options, and wireless speeds to no avail on the d-link, which works with every other device in my house, PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Vizio TV, etc...
Conclusion:
For around $3000 I don't think you'll find a more desirable and feature rich set out there.

Nice, but not perfectAug 14, 2011
By Mike
This is a nice TV but it has some flaws. Unfortunately all 3D televisions sold at this time have flaws so you have to pick your battles. I was torn between the 65 inch Panasonic Plasma or this set as both are about the same price. A friend bought a Panasonic GT30 series and has constant issues with burn in (real burn-in, not just IR) as the newest plasmas seem to have worse issues with that than the older 2009-2010 models. Not sure why the newer (3D) plasmas have issues with IR and burn-in like early plasmas, but I'm a gamer and I didn't want to have to worry about burn-in. I already knew that the picture wouldn't be quite as uniform and not to expect jet blacks so I wasn't surprised when I saw some light bleed at the edges of this set on a totally black scene or some very faint clouding on perfectly uniform scenes like a white background in a commercial. Fortunately the mura and cloudiness are quite faint and are confined to the edges so they are not nearly as bad as the Sharp Aquos 65D64U 65 inch LCD it replaced. Here's a rundown of the pros and cons that I've found in just a few days of ownership.
Pros
(1) Bright, sharp, very detailed picture.
(2) No one in the family had issues with seeing lines in the passive 3D picture.
(3) 3D picture is fantastic. No headaches from wearing heavy active glasses.
(4) Vertical offset not really an issue at typical viewing distances, even with wall mounting.
(5) Good smart TV apps, but I don't use those much.
(6) Off angle (side) viewing is excellent: very little contrast/color shift.
(7) Massive array of settings/features: could be a "con" too as you can get lost in them!
(8) Nice sturdy base has left/right swivel.
(9) Tru Motion option is incredible: can smooth out any slow-frame-rate source.
Cons
(1) ~150ms lag w/default settings, see [...]
(2) Can't use optical audio out on TV to sync sound because it only passes stereo sound.
(3) Blacks are not plasma black obviously, but not bad for an LCD.
(4) Some mura and light bleeding but improved by massaging screen stress points w/cloth.
(5) Incredibly annoying idiot warning w/3D content: can't be disabled.
(6) Glossy screen shows every reflection: reflections can ruin the 3D effect.
Summary: overall I'm quite happy with this set. The passive 3D is better than I expected and comparable to my friend's Panasonic GT30 plasma in quality. Half-res 3D due to the passive technology doesn't seem to be a factor beyond about 8 feet. And no one should buy an LCD expecting perfectly uniform picture and jet blacks like a plasma. So from what I was expecting, I'm quite impressed. This set lost one star in my review for two primary reasons: the set can't pass proper DD 5.1 sound from HDMI input to optical out, and because of the idiotic warning that pops up every time you go from 2D to 3D mode. LG needs to add a way to acknowledge that warning once and then not display it in the future.

One of the greatest 3D LEDs out there.Dec 07, 2011
By RetroGamer
I want to start this review by stating that I did some basic research based on the HZ on LED/LCD TVs. I began my research wanting a good 3D LED set as well, that I would have for many years. Originally, I was looking at the 55" Infinia 240 Hz version, because we all know that 240 is bigger than 120 and that must mean it's better. I was about to cash all my chips in, until I realized the necessity of confirming my transaction with my wife, in clearer detail. Sometimes I need to fill her in with more detail than necessary, just to be sure everything is cleared up. Literally a few hours later, the 55" went up by 500 bucks, and I was rather devastated. Yes, had I purchased it based on my gut instinct, I would have surely had the 55" at the low price it was. At this point, I didn't see a reason in getting the 55" 240 Hz anymore, so I decided to do a little more research on the 240 vs. 120 thing.
I decided that before I purchased this set, I needed to be sure it wasn't based on "just settling" for what some might see as "second best". There is a 55" 120 HZ version of the same exact TV for a lower price, however at this point, I needed to have what I felt was the best out there for me in the market.
After educating myself on the 120 HZ vs. 240 HZ, I concluded that one would have to be a robot or a super natural human being to notice the difference between the clarity of the two. In other words, to what I read, I concluded that the human eye cannot tell the difference between a 120 Hz and a 240 Hz, but definitely a difference in a 60 Hz. I then concluded that I did need the extra 10 inches of viewing for myself and self gratification. Learning from my previous error, I immediately purchased this 65" and then I confirmed the details with my beloved wife. Not to my surprise, she wasn't disturbed by my decision making, since Amazon has a great 30 day return policy. Am I happily married? You betcha bub.
When I was receiving this behemoth of an LED, the shipper was supposed to have two people deliver it to us, however there was only one individual and I was at work, while my wife was at home. Guess who became the second person to bring this thing up to our apartment? I'm just glad my wife loves me. Word of advice; please confirm that there will be two delivery people coming over to your place to get this thing in; it does weigh a lot and you'll feel guilty if you let your wife help out while you're at work. Aside, the fact that the shipper had notes to have two people deliver this thing, there was only one. Luckily my wife's from Russia, and she's been through worse.
Upon arriving home from work, I do admit I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. The look on my wife's face was priceless. "Do you really need such a big TV"? Answer: Yes. "Okay"? Unpacking it was pretty easy. All you need to do it cut the plastic belt holders and the box just slips out, by pulling up! That's pretty genius. This unpacking feature is probably pretty normal for many huge size LEDs, but I've never had an LED before, especially at this massive size.
Considering that this set is 65", it's not as heavy as it probably should be and that's a plus for me. Mounting this set on a stand was a breeze. There are only four screws in the back, and they're definitely not going anywhere if you hang this thing on a stand. On the wall is probably a different story altogether, but as far as a stand, it's a "set it, forget it" kind of thing. I hung this beast on a Walker Edison 60" Regal 4-in-1 TV Stand w. Mount - Wood.
After mounting, I then plugged in the WiFi dongle, and setup the internet. Once that was done, I wanted to check out Netflix and Amazon Streaming. Both of those features work very well. Looking at HD movies on this set look amazing, even on default settings. I did however fool around with the settings, and this is what I am currently using. (this was based on some settings someone else put in, and aren't my own).

I also wanted a 3D LED that has decent 3D capabilities, and I have to say I'm very impressed on the 2D to 3D feature on this set. Not to mention, 3D movies look amazing too. It's freakin' sweet. I do enjoy the fact that I can take the real 3D passive glasses from the movie theatre and use it at MY very own theatre at home. In a way, replacing the glasses for these are kind of like having an unlimited amount, if you get a pair from the movies. Is it stealing? I don't think so, since the movie theatre does charge you for the glasses. Just saying.
I'm not here to argue with the creed of passive 3D vs shutter 3D. I believe when purchasing any 3D capable LED/TV/LCD/PLASMA/, you as a buyer need to decide on what best fits your liking. To me, this TV does exactly what I need. I also like the fact that if you need to purchase replacement glasses for this LED, it's roughly 10 dollars a pair. If you do purchase this TV, the unit does come with four pairs of 3D glasses, however the colors are almost a mockery. It's like "hey, they're free! Sure, they're like bright yellow, loud orange and obnoxious white, but they're free!" Personally, I don't care about the colors. I don't watch TV as a fashion statement. I'm not going to the grocery store, while I know I could and that would be interesting. I'm going to be at home and hey, the glasses DO their job; they work!
I really do like this TV. It feels like I have more than just a TV. It's like having an extra computer. I tend to connect an external hard drive to watch videos. It works really well. LG has its own app store, but I haven't purchased anything from it. I know it is capable of browsing, going on facebook, as well as skype calling, but that's why I have a computer for. One could say that the extra features are just icing on the cake, and I would totally agree with that statement. It comes with two remotes. One is your traditional remote, and the other one resembles a Wii Remote, or it's a remote that says "hey look what I can do!! Yeah, I'm an awesome TV; I know". I tend to use the traditional remote more often than the Wii-like remote, since it's sensible, although the innovative remote is useful for entering in name titles on Netflix and other like programs.
I recommend this TV for the obsessed movie goer, as well as the casual TV watcher. It's an excellent set. It has everything you wanted, needed and everything else you didn't know you needed. I made my decision knowing I wanted an LG Infinia. Knowing what I know now, I am actually glad I didn't get the 55" 240 Hz. If you base your decision- making solely on the technical aspect, you might want to reevaluate the differences between 120 Hz vs. 240 Hz, before purchasing. If you're still convinced that it's all about technical view points then you've made your decision already and everyone wins. :)
I really enjoy going to the movies, and this set gives me that feeling. I can watch movies in crystal clear, no blur HD quality, and if I feel like it, I can watch anything in 3D. That's a plus for me.
Update: One thing I hate with a passion is the YouTube app. It's horrible. When you start it up, it randomly plays whatever video it wants to. Then you spend more time searching for a video than you would watching it. YouTube needs to get on this and make an actual interface for their app. It begs to have a history cache of previously watched videos as well as a sign in feature. Hopefully there will be updates for this app. Stand-alone, it's horrible and I'm not really one to complain about apps and little bits of that nature.

DecentJun 20, 2011
By J. Leigh
"jleigh7"
Pros:
- Stereo interleaved lines are not noticeable for most 3D content and especially when seated at the recommended distance.
- Gyroscopic controller does make it easier to deal with menu selections.
- As with all micropolarized stereoscopic screens, side-ways off-axis viewing is excellent. Vertical offset will yield ghosting. But for normal viewing use this is unlikely to impact anyone.
- For the price it is an excellent display- especially since you are using the same polarized glasses as in the movie theaters.
- 2D image quality appears to be on par with other 65" LCDs I have from Sharp. The only difference is that the screen is glossy because of the micropolarization overlay.
Cons:
- When you plug a laptop into it, there is noticeable lag. For example, when you move the mouse on the laptop there is a small lag to when the screen is refreshed. This is perhaps to be expected with most modern TVs that do so much internal processing. I am using it as my wall mounted monitor in my office so the lag is a bit annoying- especially for someone who's primary business is computer graphics. To reduce the lag you can either plug in via the VGA connector or by turning down as much image processing as possible. If you do a search on AVS forum you'll find suggestions on how to do that.
Update: it turns out, even if you use the HDMI input, you will dramatically reduce the lag if you go into the input labeling option and relabel it as PC. I guess the TV is trying to be intelligent.
- There is some inconsistencies in the backlight, but this is pretty good for a 65" screen, especially when compared to screens with florescent back lights. Of course it is not as crisp as a plasma display. But then again it is also much lighter than a plasma screen, and you don't have to buy the heavy 3D glasses.
- The support stand it comes with is incredibly wobbly- it is essentially a cheap piece of plastic that is about 3 inches across on each side. This tiny hollow neck is supposed to support and balance the weight of the entire LCD screen. A Bobble Head comes to mind. Except the head is the big LCD screen- scary! Get a wall mount.
Normally for large ticket displays I order them from local vendors so it's easy to return. I had to order this from Amazon since the local vendors only had them on pre-order. The shipping company banged up the unit pretty badly. The top portion of the box was compromised when I received it. And the plastic frame around the display was dented. I took a picture just in case the unit didn't work. Surprisingly the screen was not cracked and the display functioned fine. Normally this degree of impact will crack a display. Just an FYI....
