The downside
The services offered by this television is slightly sluggish. The screen is bit reflective and the resolution performance is bit low while using passive 3D services and reveals the filters in display. The smart TV carries only less amount of services and apps. The inevitable Facebook and twitter service is not seen in this smart TV services. This TV also produces horrible cross talk if viewed more than 12 degree from upside or downside. There has been evidence showing irregular pattern over small objects and bright edges of the screen. The lag of input for gaming is the most serious disadvantage of this TV.
Our experience
If you are an addict to the games then this TV is the best to use. This TV uses a dual play mode. While playing in multiplayer options one has to wear the special glasses given for them so that only one half of the screen in which he plays is only shown. The visible horizontal lines are seen due to the passive 3D effect. After experimenting with this TV it was found out that one can watch the 3D movie for long hours without any fatigue.
The bottom line
Overall it offers great 2D and 3D performance. The smart services are very useful for the customers.The sumptuous design, features, and sound quality of this TV is also great. Though there are little flaws it is a great improvement by LG in TV technology.
