Title: 2ND GEN 3D TVs. LG spearheads the "PASSIVE" drive! ***AWESOME***
Post by: Marl☆1 on Jul 12, 2011 at 11:32 PM
Been researching on the pros and cons of active 3d glasses / tv rigs and it seems all the downsides have been addressed by the next gen 3d tech (proprietary tech by LG at this point in time).  Went around the malls today to check it out and I have personally observed the stark benefits of this 2nd gen 3d tech.  

I was more impressed when I did an A-B vs. the current active glasses/tv rigs (plasma, LCD and LEDs).  Don't take my word for it, audition a set yourself.  

Before you swipe your card on the new 3D TV you're about to purchase, check out this vid first.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvtDKy9pIrg&NR=1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvtDKy9pIrg&NR=1)

Best to have all the options on the table to make the right informed choice.  Am sure this 2nd gen 3D TV is not perfect and can still be improved, but the benefits in offers at this point in time really look very compelling. It's still your choice whether to go active or passive; visit your friendly mall stores now. :)

Cheers!  ;)

just got the 47-incher LG 3D smart tv (lg lw5700).  will test drive it extensively and see where it takes me.  :)
came with 4 glasses, BD player, wifi dongle, magic motion remote, xbox 360 kinect.

i just hooked up my WD external HDD and it was able to play all the mkv files - video wise.  the only issue is that it can't decode the DTS signals so only got to play and hear the Dolby ones.

otherwise, still impressed so far with the connectivity and 3d performance.  :)

yes, fits my wife and 8-yr old very fine. it's very light and pliable so it's very flexible to one's head size. the nose ridge are is amazingly comfy as well, feels secure and doesn't fall off when i bend. it has a very simple and natural fit; such a relief vs. the bulky active 3d glasses i've tried. test drive one in the malls. :)

even if the panel is thin, the box is wide cause it's well braced from the top and bottom positions.  approximate dimensions are 4' x 2.5' - thickness is 4 inches.  the glasses are cleverly embedded into the top styro bracing that's why it ran up to 4".  good luck buddy. ;)

Thanks for the tip. The 3D glasses in some theaters are uncomfortable for us.  The iMax ones are fine.

avant. SRP arond P140k. Cash / Straight charge, could bring it down to around P120k, depending on your nego skills.  ;)  that comes with the free xbox kinect + game, BD player + Despicable Me 3d BD, 4 Passive Glasses, A wife dongle, Magic Wand TV Remote for the SMART tv features, and depending on availability you can see if you can nego for a bracket.  ::)

good luck on the hunt.  this LG 3D Smart TV is really phenom.  I auditioned a number of 3D Active systems but often got dizzy in a short time with all the ghosting and flickering.  the positioning of the glasses (more like goggles actually) is quite uncomfortable and you have to choose the right viewing angle. this new gen 3d is definitely a marked improvement.

check this thread in the market place (SnS):
http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,136898.660.html

the 47in is at 113k cash with the same freebies except the xbox.

i'm eyeing the 42in which is at 77k, the xbox is included in the freebies.

Good deal as well if you have no need for an Xbox. Otherwise, you can get it in the package and re-sell.  ;)

113k vs. 120k, there's a P7k difference.  The cost of a same-specs xbox is 16,500 @datablitz; translating to almost a 60% discount on the latest Xbox Kinect. 

Well a 7k xbox bargain is very hard to come by if you're into motion gaming.  ;)  this logic may very well apply in the 42-incher so decide wisely. good luck on the purchase guys.  either way, this new LG 3D tv is a winner, highly recommended.  I just loaded up on my 3D hd movies and watched Tron Legacy last night. Words escape me.  8)

Cheers!  ;)

Best deal I inquired so far is in Anson Ortigas. P95k cash for the 47 in. package and P70k cash for the 42 in. package, subject for approval. You even get a P1,500 Anson Gift check. Look for Eugene.

Hi, saan store or mall na meron demo nito? I've seen it sa SnS and SM appliance store pero walang 3D setup to test unlike sa Samsung active 3D LED meron demo. I just want to compare passive to active 3D glasses.

Ito ung first choice ko LG 47" 3d tv but mas nagandahan ako sa PQ ng active 3d kesa sa passive IMO.  Ang maganda tlga sa package ng LG is ang daming freebies lalo na sa mga walang xbox360 / kinect.  :)  I bought the sammy 46" d6600 instead and ang freebie nia lng is Galaxy tab. :)

Thanks to this informative thread about this LG 3D and where best deal to get them.

I've seen demos of this TV as well as read positive reviews of the LW5600 which is the U.S. version. I'm contemplating on getting just the 42in. before their freebie promo ends Aug 31.

Question: Is the TruMotion 120Hz of this TV capable of displaying what is locally called as the "Videocam", "soap-opera" effect, yung image interpolation which you can turn on or off? Some don't like this feature but i do. When i asked the salesman, he does not know what i'm talking about but says the 120Hz is for fast scenes. I've seen this feature on other brands though.

Aside from downloads, where can you buy 3D Bluray movies? I've asked some Astrovision stores but they don't have any; regular Bluray lang meron.

Wala rin demo yung Smart TV Apps features so i guess i'll just have to discover that for myself. Di pa rin yata available lahat ng Apps services dito sa atin.

how does the 42LW5700 perform on non-3d sources?

i plan on getting a new TV in the coming months and this looks like a good candidate.  pero, most naman ng pag-gagamitan ko is for 2d lang.

70%  NMT (720p TV series and 720p/1080p movies)
20% PS3 gaming
10% TV (Sky Cable non-HD digibox)

is it at least at par with current Plasma TVs when it comes to 2d pq?

without getting into a lenghthy debate on led vs. plasma vs. lcd. it's very clear that led is the leading technology now; albeit the most expensive one. the luminosity and clarity is just astounding (esp the new LED models); and the features by far are more interactive and consumer-friendly.

that said and to answer your Q, this LG 3d LED tv performs very well on 2D sources as well, and it does a very decent job in converting 2D material to 3D, and vice versa kung di ka hiyang sa 3D content.  The new gen plasma is having a resurgence right now, cheaper, thinner, lower power consumption vs the 1st gen plasmas which were made obsolete, so it's cornering a more price-conscious quality-driven consumer segment.

again, clarity and resolution-wise LED is still topnotch IMO, but if you want the subdued, cinematic feel of movies and television, you may want to consider a plasma vs. the hyper-real LED machines which is super clear and clinical, but takes a way the 'theatre drama' in video materials.

happy hunting, good luck!

Yes I guess the spiel fr the salesman is expected, the 120Hz or even 240hz clear motion features pertain specifically to motion lag and judder during quick movements (eg. sports, gaming). You are correct though that the primary downside to this enhanced clarity is the hyper-real, plastic-like texture you'll get due to the enhanced background detail and all. Haven't tinkered with the TV just yet if this had an 'off switch' but just the same, a quick remedy is to avoid using the 'vivid' picture setting (well-renowned lex hyper real pic quality), and just defer to the 'cinema' mode which gets the 'drama' and theatre-like mood and feel back on.


Aside from downloads, where can you buy 3D Bluray movies? I've asked some Astrovision stores but they don't have any; regular Bluray lang meron.


just hop on over to the marketplace thread here in pdvd and go to the high-def child board. a number of pdvd sellers selling 3D bluray right in our backyard. :)


Wala rin demo yung Smart TV Apps features so i guess i'll just have to discover that for myself. Di pa rin yata available lahat ng Apps services dito sa atin.

actually most of the LG smart TV apps are functional already. some subscription items, need some more finetuning, but otherwise the infrastructure is pretty solid already (you jst need fast internet). in the tv menu, they say "more to come" though so let's all stay tuned then. ;)

Thanks Marl for answering my three queries. I appreciate it so much. I'm really impressed with this TV. It has everything i am looking for in a TV - passive 3D, LED technology, FULL HD in 2D, (the 3D half resolution of 1920 x 540p is not noticeable to me), USB port, thin panel, low power consumption; plus the smart tv and magic motion remote are added bonuses.

Actually i like the 120Hz interpolation where the images look vivid or plastic-like as you say, so if ever it's there that would really be great. (I saw a demo of Transformers 2 with this vivid, crisp, life-like images of the robots using this interpolation on a Philips LCD Tv and i find it nice.)

Am also glad MannyX and Asul suggested where and how to get the best deals. I happen to pass-by Ansons Trinoma to inquire, and after mentioning the name of 'Eugene' of Ortigas as mentioned by MannyX, the price dropped significantly. He said Ansons Ortigas can give the lowest price since their GM is located there and can easily give approvals. Besides that's where they have lots of stocks.

Sidenote: I recently got a Fujifilm W3 3D camera and i am quite sure pictures and videos taken with this camera will look awesome in this TV.

Title: Re: 2ND GEN 3D TVs. LG spearheads the "PASSIVE" drive! ***AWESOME***
Post by: Ramp on Aug 01, 2011 at 09:03 PM
I haven't purchased yet but might soon do. My wife agreed.

Ansons Trinoma initially said their lowest price for the 42in is 77K with all the freebies but when i told the guy Eugene of Ortigas is giving it at 70K sabi niya pwede subject to approval. Then i went on saying - sabi pwede pa raw mabawasan ng konti if really decided to buy. He said maybe up to 68 or 69K Cash but don't quote him daw.

All the freebies stated above by m9rcy are included plus P1,500 Gift Certificate from Ansons.

I suppose all branches of Ansons can give this deal as long as you wait for the approval from their main branch. If not tell them you will just go to their Ortigas branch. You also have to consider the time and gasoline if you go all the way to Ortigas. For now i guess 69k or 68K is the lowest depending on your haggling skills.

Sa SM Appliance you cannont haggle, sa Abenson they will let you play with your installment payment scheme pero mataas pa rin than Ansons. Am not sure if that other hi-end store in Shangrila Mall will lower to this price.

Vic Chua of SNS can give you the best deal better than Ansons or Abensons. If you don't want the freebies, sabihin mo lang at ibabawas nya sa presyo.  I can get my 55 inch sa SNS cash price ng 135k with 4 free glasses. Start from there na lang if 42 and 47 inch ang kukunin ninyo. Compared to ansons and abenson, nasa 145k daw ang unit nila without the freebies.  See the difference? :)

i got mine in anson's ortigas. i think it's the best deal available. i was already able to sell the xbox, it drop the price to around 58k but the clincher is that i got it at 6 mos 0%. I think my total was 72800, 6 months to pay.

as much as i would have wanted to get this from SNS, i honestly do not think they could beat the price for this especially if it was done via financing.

Hi to all.  Iam a newbie in tv thing (3d plasma etc). Pardon my ignorance.  Thanks so much for sharing your valuable infos.  Narrowing down my choices and seriously considering lw5700 47" or lw6500 55". I have few questions, pls help

1. Does the free blue ray player bd660  region free? If not, is there a way to make it region free.

2.  I tried to google and search the net, but most of the reviews that  are for lw5600 instead of lw5700.  Seems the difference is that lw5700 doesnt have 3d dimming. What does this mean in layman terms?  Is this feature important?

3. I measured my wall to wall, its close to 13 feet. What is the recommended tv size for my room? Is 47" enough?

4.  Also the room that i will place the tv with have only one window.  Generally, the room is quite dark bec of it ( even in the morning and afternoon).  Is it better to put an led tv or plasma tv?

5.  I believe the 47" is in matte finish screen. What about the 55"?  I was looking around the metro but seems that no showroom is displaying lw6500 55". If ever you saw a demo unit of this, where did you saw it po.

6.  Besides lg 47" lw5700 and 55" lw6500. Iam also considering / checking panasonic plasma vt20 and samsung plasma 50" d550.  Iam lost on which one to get.  What are the factors that made you decide to get lg. 

Thanks in advance

I'm torn whether to get the 42"LG3D package or get a 42"(or bigger) LCD+ 5.1 set-up/receiver instead.

Quote sa kin sa Ansons 70k cash all-in with 1500 GC
With the 5.1 sound setup/LCD package, more or less, I'll spend 60-65k

I already have a PS3 for Blu Rays but I do not have a sound set up.

What do you think guys?Eniticing kasi yung 3D package ng LG.

How much is the LG 3D TV if it's purchased individually with at least 2 3D glasses?

Thanks in advance.

Had the chance to audition the 42 incher in sm appliance. Though it has all the freebies as said above, mdyo nakulangan ako sa video effect on 2D movies maybe its because of 120hz. The 2D-3D is ok just like samsung d6400. The 3D glass is good also but I notice ng mg bend ako sideward dhl nhulog hawak ko mdyo nwala ung 3D effct. My angle ba mga boss pg 3D movie?

I'm about to buy a 3D LED HDTV in a months time, thinking of getting an LG due to its very light passive 3D glasses but on almost all the reviews I've read lahat nagsasabi na you loose 50% of the picture quality with the passive type.  You loose the pagiging HD 1080p picture quality, e kaya nga ako bibili ng high end TV for its vivid and high resolution picture e.  To those who own either active or passive, anything you guys noticed?

Also how is the 3D gaming quality for passive TV (is it even compatible)?

just randomly search like in youtube active vs passive recommendations.  Like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVQ7VBht9VA

BTW I kinda don't trust the press releases from LG or Samsung or Sony, they literally contradict each others claims.  Also they say 3D for TV isn't really for movie, its for gaming, as in sobrang wow kapag 3D games, for watching movies, ang dami pang cons and still very limited movies. But anyway I think trying it for yourself and see what best you like.  I tried both, and I really like the LG glasses, ang gaan at comfortable.  But for picture quality, ummm.....  But since Im also using the TV for gaming, and they say that the Sony PS3 3D games are more compatible for active 3D (since Sony is doing the active 3D and PS3 is Sony) so I think this is one thing for my consideration.

But anyhow I am still reading and reviewing which brand really best suits me, before I burn my money to that 55 incher

Sir i bought LG LW5700 at Anson's Alabang. Sulit sya. may libre pang xbox at 3d bluray player. if it is true that there is a drop in resolution, then i dont notice it and for 2d viewing i am very satisfied with it especially when  trumotion is turned on. for 3d gaming, compatible ang passive technology, for the ps3 madedetect nya na 3d tv yung gamit mo and if your game supports 3d then it will ask if you want to play in 3d, i tested wipeout hd, nba 2k11, mortal kombat and super stardust. 3d is very good on these games and the only thing i noticed is that for 2k11 bumaba yung frame rate which i think is an issue with the game being in 3d and not because of the tv and i think kapag 3d gaming sa ps3 from 1080p it goes down to 720p.

Hindi true yung 50% ang naloloose na picture quality although meron talaga difference with 3D and nond-3D viewing. In my experience, I tested both passive (LG) and active (Sammy) 3D glasses and i must say na mas maganda IMO ang active. Sa passive kase meron akong nakikita na rough edges na hindi ko nakita sa active 3D. Some may not notice the difference though. Best way for you is to try to test both active and passive to see for yourself. If you think hindi naman ganun kalaki difference go for passive because its cheaper.  :)

That would be a long wait for you then.  But even after all those years, hardware and software would probably be priced through the roof so much that it's not even that affordable. A wait of 15 years at the earliest probably. You must be a very patient individual.   ;D

No, you just can't say "too many to mention" when you're absolutely certain of your claim. There are also people out there who are knowledgeable in the field who say otherwise. At the end of the day, it depends on one's preference.

got the 42lw5700, the 47inch model i tried with my 6feet viewing distance was too much. My eyes would run around to view side to side with the 47inch one. I would have bought the bigger model if it fit my viewing distance.

To htpc users that plan to play 3d Blu rays with powerdvd and tmt5 do the following
1) Skip the nvidia settings for changing to 1080p/24hz , 720p/60hz and 720p/50hz. Its really a hassle changing modes
2) In the 3D Display Configuration(within powerdvd and tmt5) select the Interleave one, the player will do the decoding instead of passing the decoding to the tv.
3) IMPORTANT: turn off Lg trumotion, it will have some tearing if you don't turn it off during 3d watching.

Just set the lcd to native 1080p/60hz as the default resolution, it will have overscan just press the ratio button and try Just Scan(might need to try the other options if this does not fit as well). As of the latest nvidia driver this is the option that works properly.

Note: 720p/60hz also directly works also and the tv is able to detect that a 3d signal is incoming, while 1080p/24hz has some audio sync problems this is mostly due to the player. But i prefer the above method since you only need to go to settings via remote and turn off trumotion when you want to watch 3d blu rays. Plus the 3d warning does not popup everytime a new video stream is loaded.

Thanks. So it's 60K lang at SNS without the xbox 360 (already have one). Might hang on to the bluray player though. Tried out a host of 3D tvs, both LEDs and plasmas, and I must say that LG's offering is the best and is the one easiest on the eyes. The ones with active glasses had too much crosstalks.

I agree, plus most of my 3d viewers are gonna be children and i have read many reports from avsforum that switched to passive 3d from active 3d bec. Some kids cant handle 3d viewing from active 3d. Even some adults throw up after viewing a couple of vids. Plus glasses are really cheap.

Update: 9/29/2011

Updated to latest version of Powerdvd and TMT5. Did some testing Powerdvd > TMT5
Bitsreaming everything for Bluray ISO files works properly and 3d is much better. There where jagged edges from TMT5 in some clothes and scenes from How To Train Your Dragon (3d Blu ray). Upon switching to Powerdvd the jagged lines I previously noticed disappeared. Quality of the output between the 2 players are very far. I viewing the same scenes twice where I noticed the difference was most noticeable. Ill be testing the Avatar 3d later.
