The 55LW5600 Review -
I've had the 55LW5600 for over 3 weeks now. It's picture is stunning thanks to LED with Dimming. This TV has 5 big features which really make it standout considering it's price point is only around $1000.
Pros:
- It supports 3D content from either a blu-ray 3d disc or from your cable/satellite provider.
- No need to buy 3D glasses for it! The 55LW5600 comes with 4 pairs of passive 3D glasses. Passive 3D glasses don't require batteries.
- Built-in Wireless! You can watch movies and shows from online content providers like netflix, hulu, amazon and more.
The wireless connection also allows you to download updates and settings to your 55LW5600. So, if there's an issue with the software on the TV you'll be able to download a fix as soon as LG releases it. - DLNA is a feature that allows you to connect the 55LW to your local network and access your pictures or music located on a computer. We connected it to our Windows 7 PC and it plays a pretty sweet slide show of our 5000+ pictures. Awesome for parties.
- Last but not least...my favorite feature...the 55LW5600 is able to convert any 2D video into a 3D video. This works for shows, sports, movies and yes...games! It honestly looks awesome. Of course it's not as good as 3d Bluray disc but it's pretty darn close.
- The sound is just OK. Nothing shocking here. Just hookup the 55LW5600 to some surround sound. Problem solved.
