LB6500 - Reviews. Review on LG LED 42 LM 6200

I could not add new model LB6500 here in mouthsut.com hence adding my reviewing under its ancestor model

I have gone through all reviews across the web

cnet

rtings

hifivision reviews etc

And also gone for a direct viewing of those TVs in all Multi Brand Show Rooms. And finally I decided and bought LG LB 6500.

• First of all, I would say broadcasting technology is not available to provide the beautiful and sharp content

  
  




• Second, the current HD led tvs are not so intelligent to provide sharp and beautiful pictures. Its going to be Broadcasting content or any media content combined with OLED kind of technology needs to get matured, to provide good viewing experience.

  
  

LB 6500 Reviews: - based on playing/view an HD content only

Pros:

• True colors to some extent

  
  




• Felt very satisfied with 42 inch size of picture delivery(, being its first led tv view from 21" CRT)

  
  




• Better than sony w.r.to all perspectives. For e.g sony is unneccessarily too bright and too much of colors.

• 2D to 3D is amazing that the poor content looks good here.( may be 3D glass filtering out some pixels)

Cons:

• Pictures are not sharp

  
  




• SD channels looks poor - may be due to Airtel broadcasting. I found better in Tata Sky

  
  




• Audio - long way to go

  
  




• Customized Settings are useless. Not able to get the required picture though it has lot of configurations etc.

  
  




• LG Service - worst. LG does not have any policy on Customer Service and by passing the control to local service centre whom never responds/pickup the call For e, g I asked for the details on AMC, no one answered properly or never picked up.

  
  




• LG International warranty is useless in India

  
  

On TV reviewing websites:

Never, ever decide based on reviews on those TV reviewing websites, or  even based on my reviews here. Go to your friends house, watch an led tv and find out what yours need. Please go to multi brand showrooms with hd content with two/three pen drives of same content and check side by side.  Then go back to the show room for the second time and check and decide.

Also these web sites are not concentrating on the following factors. This is the message to all those TV reviewing geeks!  After viewing the TV for a while, now I found that most of those reviews gone unuseful. There are lot more things to be captured and reviewed which I am listing here:

-Picture Sharpness

-Viewing the 24p cinema content

• Viewing the regular broadcasting

  
  




• Custom Settings review( LG is useless in the custom setting) - Audio

  
  




• 2D to 3D -( I found the non HD content, looks good here)

  
  




• 3D depth - and control and more.

  
  

I would suggest all these TV reviewers( geeks) to look into these real time scenarios before writing the reviews. Looking to update your reviews based on these real factors
