LG Infiniatm 47 Inch 3D TV
With 3D movies now starting to storm the box office (think Avatar, Star Trek, Monsters inc etc) it was probably obvious that a similar surge in demand for home 3D would follow. Certainly there needed to be the content for home 3D but now that seems to be hitting the market with 3D Blu Ray DVDs and satellite content, the race for 3D TV dominance is on.
In my opinion, some of the early 3D TVs were put out to market a little too early, before the technology was 100% sound. For example, if you were watching fast paced action and an image came out of the screen towards you it could blur quite significantly. I found this to be a particular problem in the lower corners of the field of vision.
The only thing that is certain is change and 3D TV technology continues to change and move forward at great pace. The new LG Infiniatm range introduces yet another leap forward with 480Hz technology.
The new LG Infiniatm LX9500 47 Inch 3D TV takes picture quality to a new and stunning level. What's changed? Well, it's still 1080p (the current maximum), but with a screen refresh rate doubled to 480Hz it brings a stunning new picture clarity. It's true I have a habit of "biggin" up LED and HD TV, but LG have produced something worth "biggin" up here!
I honestly didn't believe pictures could get better over the top of the range Samsung 240Hz 1080p, but LG have managed it. And it is most noticeable in the 3D space.
Obviously the competition will have to catch up to 480Hz as well. But, a current top of the range Samsung at 240Hz is still hovering around k. At the time of writing the LX9500 comes in at just .3k. How have LG managed it?
Based on that LG are going to be tough to beat in this new higher end LED/3D market. And, LG are doing all they can to dominate. I was having a Skype chat with my HD Buddy in the U.K, Brad. Sky TV are the biggest satellite broadcaster over there and have just announced that they have made LG their 3D TV partners in the U.K. Sky dominate the satellite market in many European countries and this deal will give LG a massive sales kick in Europe.
The LG Full LED 3D TV Infinia LX9500 is a stunning piece of kit and surprisingly easy to use and set up. In truth, it's about time LED set up was made a little simpler.
The LX9500 is a direct lit model as opposed to edge lit. Normally direct lit TVs are thicker but at 31mm this set again moves technology a step forward. It also comes with LG "Netcast" included. This gives you direct Internet Entertainment access, at last! I was also very impressed that for the price you also get two pairs of active shutter 3D glasses included.
This lets you get into 3D straight away and of course saves you a couple of hundred dollars or so into the bargain. Well done LG!
If you read the LG sales media, they are calling the 480Hz "TruMotion - a revolution in picture quality". I really can't argue. In particular the 3D picture is far clearer. As I have said fast-moving images that come towards you needed attention in 3D and for the most part this TV gets it right, and fast-action is now far better.
And, I think 2D pictures are improved as well. To be fair it's not as marked an improvement as the 3D pictures but it's just as amazing. In a way that doesn't really do the picture quality justice but I have run out of superlatives. I think I'm going to have to "tone down" some of my older writings as my descriptions are not keeping pace with the pictures improvements!
The pictures are brilliantly razor-sharp and the color is like the brightest sunny day you could image. Contrast with the blackest blacks I have ever seen, it really is the best TV viewing I have seen and I can't image how LG provide this quality at just over k
If you're thinking of joining the 3D revolution the LG Infiniatm LX9500 47 Inch 3D TV could not be a better starting point, it's an amazing viewing experience and a superb introduction to 3D TV - enjoy!
