Why 24fps is not enough for HDR movies

[Rasmus Larsen]

Chad B did mention on his review that on the 55lw5600 the threshold for him seeing those scan line was just a little more than 2M.

I guess that there is no difference between the 6 and the 5 series with this.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the same with the 6 and 5 series.

Thank you for the review, just two doubts. You talk about the "local dimming" function (which is not a real local dimming because of the edge LEDs), but i did not understand if you are using it when you say that black level is 0.08 cd/m2.
If not, could you tell me if the black level can be lowered when this function is activated?
When "local dimming" is active do you see any "columns of light" or haloes around bright objects on a dark background?

Personally, I don't really see the benefit of "local dimming" on Edge LED models. Therefore it's always off in our reviews. 0.08 cd/m2 black was measured without local dimming, yes.

I did do some testing with the local dimming function on but in my opinion it has no real advantages. Black might be 0.01 cd/m2 deeper but the disadvantages are not worth it. I saw –as you mention - columns of light. But it actually looks more like the dynamic contrast systems that we saw on some older 2008 and 2009 models – we don’t like that…

Any input on the 120hz vs. 240hz question?

Anyone else heard that the passive (to join the present actives they offer) might be coming out from LG in the plasmas?

Sorry, I have only seen the 120 Hz Cinema 3D version a few times and have never had a chance to make a side-by-side comparison with the 240 Hz versions. But in my opinion passive 3D still looks good with the 120 Hz version based on the demonstrations.

I heard that LG's new Nano TVs will be delayed because of Cinema 3D. LG wants to change active 3D to Cinema 3D on all LCD/LED models. I'm not sure it's official at this point but I guess. I haven't heard anything about the plasma TVs, however.
Actually, I have already received the PZ950 plasma - it uses active 3D.

[Rasmus Larsen]

So far I know any image procesing will add inputlag so on this isue the 100/120Hz will have less or at least the same inputlag as the 200/240Hz.

Yes, image processing equals input lag. A general rule to reduce input lag is to deactive image processers. However, most plasma TVs tend to have lower input lag.

Does this new algorithm also decrease this line effect you talking about in your review?

The last point I want to discuss is actually a negative one. We usually recommend sitting close to a 3DTV for the best experience but with LG’s Cinema 3D you don’t want to sit too close. Why? Because you can see the pixels – or should we say lines. The polarized 3D glasses work by separating even lines from odd lines and projecting the different lines to each eye. Therefore you only see the even lines with the first eye and the odd lines with the other eye, and this effect is visible if you move to close to the TV panel

Hello,
In your test, you don't speak about the angle you can see 3D. I see one LG in a store and when I stand up, the 3D doesn't good: it result of an inversion of the left and right pictures.
Did you test it ?

Hi Rasmus !

Have You had the opportunity to try this out...interesting if LG solved the resulotion issue in Cinema 3D this easy and got it working in full HD in Your brain........... if not in the reality.....

"LG har nu foretaget forbedringer af deres fladskærme med Cinema 3D og alle nuværende ejere og kommende ejere vil nyde godt af denne opdatering, da det er en software-opdatering til fladskærmen. LG siger, at de har ændret algoritmen, som anvendes til at vise 3D-billeder.

I starten anvendte Cinema 3D teknologien denne metode: I en periode på 1/200 sekund, viste Tv’et 2 frames: 540 linjer til venstre øje og 540 linjer til højre øje.
Med den nye algoritme vises 4 billeder i stedet for 2 i 1/200 sekund. Der vises 1080i til det venstre øje og 1080i til det højre øje.

Når disse billeder kombineres skabes et 1080p billede, siger LG. LG mener, at denne opdatering forbedrer billedkvalitet på deres Cinema 3D-TV til direkte at kunne udfordre de aktive 3DTV såsom 3D plasma-Tv. Det kræver dog, at TruMotion systemet slås fra på Tv’et for at udnytte den nye algoritme. "

This new driver update that supposedly adds 1080p seems like it would be worth an addendum or a separate review/note/article. I'm very interested in the amount of input lag increase and crosstalk.

LG Cinema 3D was ranked #1 by consumer reports --->>> http://imageshack.us/f/12/consumer2.png/

3D TV sales have beat most projections and according to Isupply Vizio and LG are taking a lot of Samsungs 80% markets share. If fact they out sell them in several countries including INDIA and CHINA the two largest markets by population.

I am a big fan of Cinema, Active TV tech from the 1880's is horrible!

400hz( LW9500 ) is a noticeable difference if you watch sports or play a lot of console games like my family does it is a pretty big difference when it comes to lag on the kinect. I would say if you normally just watching HD content and mostly TV shows don't bother going over 120. 240 is quite nice for everything else.

Though I have a less damming opinion of local dimming on edge lit displays as it really depends on the content your watching something like the earth documentary series is really nice to see.

Good review though, I honestly believe active is kinda on its last legs with oled on the way and autosteroscopic in the next 10 years. I mean Sony,Sam,Toshiba all settled on one standard for glasses you know if bad when they are not trying to milk you for accessory money.

Good review!

I am unable to play SBS movies through USB. Received the error "File is Invalid"
But I am able to play Half SBS files.
Please suggest how to fix the issue.

[pvsravikumar]

Thanks for the review.
Can LG is capable to play SBS movies through USB?
What is the best way to watch 3D movies?
1) using Bluray player
2) dowloaded SBS/ Half SBS through USB
