Since CES, I've been hearing a lot of buzz over at Cleveland Plasma about a new, passive three dimensions television from LG. "If you care about three dimensions, this is the television to get," enthused Chris. Rather than the chunky and expensive active shutter glasses most of us are used to, the LG's passive glasses are like putting on a lightweight pair of sun glasses or driving glasses. There is no on/off switch to mess with, and no concern about breaking the infrared link and inadvertently turning off the glasses. That is refreshing. And looking at the LG 55LW5600, I'm glad to see LG has kept a semi matte screen rather than the mirror like surface that many manufacturers are offering. With the LG's ultra thin profile and trim bezel, there is much to like for those of us who appreciate a sleek and sophisticated appearance.

The LG 55LW5600 has a lot going for it — stunning two dimensions images, and three dimensions when you want it, plus it's Internet-ready. You'll get a stellar picture from just about any source, thanks to 120Hz blur reduction for clear video motion, and LED backlighting for a high-contrast picture with deep black levels.

A potentially limiting factor with LED LCDs is poor off axis performance. Several times I have gone to a customer's house to calibrate a new LCD only to find that there is no good seat in the house, due either to the television being mounted above a fireplace and not tilted down, or to having couches on either side of the television but not in front of it. Despite the claims of "wide viewing angle" and "perfect color everywhere", unfortunately with some sets even just moving over one couch cushion from dead center can cause noticeable color and contrast washout. Thankfully, like most LG models I've seen recently, the LW5600 is much more tolerant of either side to side or up and down movement than most LED LCDs. The picture does start to deteriorate faster at diagonal angles, however, so if you are both above the screen and off to the side you will be treated to nice, pale faces and washed out blacks.

With the power off in a moderately bright room, the LG stays commendably dark for the most part. Reflections can still wash out large areas of the screen, though they are not sharply defined as on glossy screens. With the LG sitting right beside a Panasonic VT25 plasma and both sets powered down, the dark areas of the LG's screen were a very significant shade darker than the plasma's darkest areas. So, while care still has to be taken to avoid bright reflections, the LG's dark screen combined with it's blazing light output capability and separate ISF Day and Night modes means this television is about as well suited to a typical, bright living room as you can get.

The less-expensive 5600 sets come in two screen sizes, 47- and 55-inches, making them larger than many of the passive three dimensions models announced by Vizio yesterday, including the XVT three dimensions 5 series, which has models as small as 32 inches.

Passive three dimensions, which is used in most U.S. theaters, is said by proponents to reduce crosstalk (an artifact that appears as a double image) and be more comfortable than active over long viewing sessions. For their part, expect some purveyors of active televisions--nearly all current three dimensionstelevisions use active shutter glasses--to accuse passive models of not achieving "full 1080p to both eyes." That's technically true; passive three dimensions in these televisions can only resolve 540 lines at one time to each eye.

We really liked the signal processing, screen uniformity, color and pop of the LG 55LW5600′s two dimensions performance. We also appreciate the anti-glare screen coating. This HDtelevision makes some of the best two dimensions LED LCD images we’ve seen and find it quite compelling. While we have some reservations about the three dimensions resolution and viewing angles, when one takes into consideration its two dimensions performance, form factor and price along with the realization that most buyer’s total three dimensions viewing will be a fraction of the overall viewing time spent. We conclude the LG 55LW5600 should be on the short list for anyone looking for a really nice large screen HD television.
