hi, gumagana ba ang 120 hz motion interpolation ng LS5700? Kasi, last weekend, i went to ansons and auditioned the samsung 40eh5000 and the salesman said na gumagana lang ang 120hz if you are using hdmi and not the built in media player of the tv via usb, can someone verify this? Ty

EH5000 - no motion interpolation.

LS5700 - has motion interpolation in all modes EXCEPT Game mode.

I bought my LG 42LS5700 about a month ago and I can say that the unit is really very commendable.

Prior to buying the TV, I've done my research and comparisons bago ko magdecide na bilin yun.

Compared to EH5300, it has more HDMI, and USB ports.

The added bonus of its Smart TV feature is may installed iWanTv na xa.

You can watch the recent TV shows without registering. Gamit na gamit n xa ni ermats. hehe

One drawback of the LS5700 is Optical Audio out lang ang option mo para maconnect mo xa external speakers. Yung amplifier kasi namin puro analog in lang yung pwede.

I always watch my movies on my external drive, minsan kulang ang experience pag walang bass ung pinapanood mo kaya kinakabit ko nalang xa sa blu-ray player ko n nakakabit sa amplifier.

Aside from that, overall this unit is highly recommended.

Mura na xa for the features and very good PQ of the TV.

For the 32LS5700, kaya na ba ng mag play ng DTS encoded videos or other formats like MP4s, etc.?

Mga amo, Full HD ba talaga yung 32LS5700? Nagtanong ako sa isang appliance center, they said otherwise. Thanks

pansin ko sa mga demo sa ansons ata yun sa side ng landmark at sa glorietta display last last week ata mas maganda ang motion intrapolation ng 42" na ls5700 not sure kung may pinag kaiba sa spec ng 32' at 42' model nito

talaga? baka iba lang pagkaset ng trumotion. baka Clear yung isa, yung isa smooth. o di kaya nakaoff trumotion...although malabo nga na magkaiba kasi for sure, naka for display yung settings nun.

Hi LM5700 owners,
Kmusta naman ang qperformance sa normal cable (destiny cable) without digibox?
May SOE din ba?
Plano ko din kasi bumili nito.

so hindi na ako nagpapigil nakakuha na ako ng 32" ls5700 sa may glorietta exhibit kahapon from 22k plus to 20k. hehe sa settings nga ata so far satisfied naman ako sana lang hindi ako matulad dun sa isa sa TPC na kahit maliwanag halatang halata yung backlight bleeding niya. nag PM pa ako kung gaano katagal yung unit at paano usage. pero satisfied naman ako lalo na sa movies at gaming. mukhang need ko laging bluray na or basta HD at hindi dvd ang gmaitin para masulit.

meh, i read that thread on TPC as well. The guy you're referring to is the only hater/major detractor of the LS5700. As in talagang siya lang yung madami negative sinasabi about the TV. I gave up on that thread kaya basa basa na lang ako dun.

So don't worry about that. Common talaga na may bleeding pag edge lit. Kahit yung saken may slight bleeding but nothing that cannot be tolerated. I'm not really hardcore when it comes to the backlight issue anyway. Basta happy ako sa set ko.

Anyway, that tv needs to be feed HD materials. Blu ray is the best choice. If not...pwede na siguro HD movies which are at least 4 to 5 gb in file size. Kulelat lang sa sound if naka HT ka pero sa PQ, pwede na lumaban.

Sir, hahaha, hindi pa rin talaga tumitigil ung hater ng LS5700 dun ano, nagpost pa ng pic, pero ng makita ko ung pic nya napaisip ako kung LS5700 nga un, kasi, parang ang kapal ng bezel ng tv, and talagang nakatakip ng logo sa gitna para hindi makita kung anong brand sya (pero naisip ko lang naman to

actually, now that you pointed that out, mukha ngang hindi yun LS5700! Ang kapal ng bezel tsaka medyo curvy yung edges ng bezel ng LS5700. you should point that out in that thread!

nayr12 · « **Reply #44 on:** Dec 18, 2012 at 12:29 PM »

baka minalas lang utol niya at di na pinapalitan. kelangan talagang i audition mo para malaman mo kung may backlight bleeding na di tolerable. known issue na sa edgelit yan so dapat todo check ka talaga. anu settings ninyo para sa dark environment?

I finally got my LS5700.

Its just a 32 inch version but I am very happy with my purchase.

I just want to share my experience for those who are looking for owner's review for this TV:

-I am not a pro when it comes to picture quality but i can tell that the picture quality is indeed very good compared to the other TVs that I've looked at the Store.
-Out of the box, the picture settings may not be pleasing for some people but for me it was OK especially when set to Vivid or Cinema.
-It was able to play my downloaded MKV movies (most of them contains AVC for the video and AC-3 for the audio) with no problems.
- Video, Photo, and Music sharing is easy thru DLNA/Smart Share (Just make sure that you have your media shared). It also supports WiDi but i do not have a compatible laptop so cant test this one...
-I dont have a PS3 but I have a Xbox 360, I hooked it up and did not see or notice any ghosting or input lag (if this test matters... I Have tried this in Vivid, Cinema, Game, and intelligent modes).
-Smart TV functions... I have only tried Facebook, YouTube, and the built-in browser. YouTube looks great! The web browser it occasionally crashes on me, but it's not a big deal because I'd prefer browsing the net on my laptop. For the FB app, I think you can only view and Like feeds/comments from it (I am not really in to facebook so i did not bother figuring out the other things this app can do.) For the skype app, this version does not come with a skype camera so i was not able to test it. but i will try if plug-n-play cameras will work on this TV.
- As for the backlight bleeding, mine does not have it...

Merry Christmas sa inyong lahat.

Its better to do your own research when buying and ive noticed that some salesclerk do not know all the features of their products...Just my two cents

DTNS · « **Reply #53 on:** Dec 25, 2012 at 09:06 PM »

get the Samsung full array LED TV. LG TVs have plenty of features and good prices. but are prone to backlight bleeding! $:-\$

downside lang ng LG LS5700 cannot decode DTS audio

bugzy0509 · « **Reply #56 on:** Feb 22, 2013 at 12:46 AM »

Hello mga master, I've downloaded and read the user's manual of the LS5700 before purchasing this TV and it has DTS under licenses. I also read from another thread and Sir Vic of SNS confirmed that it does not decode DTS...

I got confused so I checked the mediainfo/properties of the movies I've played via USB which i think has DTS audio format:

I am new to HD audio and video stuff and just want to confirm from you guys if the above really has DTS audio format? not sure if i was reading the properties correctly...

Hi @bugzy, i am also planning to get this TV probably this weekend, im also kind a confuse abt this DTS stuff, since most of the HD Movie has this kind of audio format. the best thing to do though is to bring a USB with a HD movie in it and has a DTS audio and play it directly to the LS5700. so where do you planning to get it? kindly PM me sir, planning to buy this bukas. many thanks sir!

Actually sir naka bili na ako last December sa SNS. 32 inch version lang.... I followed sir Quitacet's advice (which is also posted in this thread) and brought a USB HDD with a set of images in solid colors (1920 x1080p) to test dead/stuck pixels, a few high res pictures/wall papers, 10 high res movies (with media properties similar to my previous post). also planning to upgrade it to a 42 inch soon or a LM6200 if budget permits.

I am using Mediainfo to check the audio/video properties of the movies that I download. Normally, I just look at the container file type, how many channels, audio and video codecs, and resolution but I have no idea about frame rates and other stuff. I see dun sa properties, it says "DTS" so i assumed na DTS nga ung file... but I am not sure if there are other factors to consider... But so far, I can play my movies straight from my USB HDD (since i don't have a separate media player) and it works great...
