Conclusion
|
The PFL8605H was an excellent surprise for us: it's the first time a Philips TV has produced such a great picture, with excellent results on offer in both 2D and 3D. |
With great picture quality and excellent results in 3D, the LG LW450U could easily have earned our top five-star rating. Unfortunately, however, the low contrast ratio produced by the IPS display technology isn't quite good enough. |

Pros
|
+ Excellent contrast with deep blacks: 3200:1 and 0.07 cd/m² + Accurate colours: average deltaE of 2.5 + Good sound quality + Media player compatible with NTFS + Low energy consumption: 98 W |
+ Attractive results in 2D and 3D + Matte display (not many reflections) and accurate colour reproduction (average deltaE: 2.7) + Light, comfortable 3D glasses + Good media player and low energy consumption (150 W) + One of the best LCD 3D TVs: not much crosstalk and less eyestrain than with active 3D technology |
