Conclusion
|
The LG LM615T is an excellent TV ... for well-lit rooms. The black level just isn't deep enough for lights-out cinema-style viewing. That's all the more of a shame since the out-of-the-box picture settings are excellent and 3D image quality is first rate. |
While this TV was initially given a five-star review, we've since learned that a second version of the Philips PFL5507 is now being sold loaded with a different screen panel. Technology has been switched from UV²A to PVA in this new version, giving it lower contrast, slightly less impressive 3D and much more clouding. |

Pros
|
+ Very good default image settings, which is rare! + Excellent 3D: low crosstalk, less visual fatigue with passive glasses + Four pairs of 3D glasses supplied + 3D glasses are light and comfortable |
+ Excellent contrast (3380:1) and deep black (0.06 cd/m²) + Accurate colours: average Delta E = 3.1 + Effective anti-glare screen treatment |
