It is time to watch your favourite TV shows or movies in an extravagant yet simple way. The new LG 3D TV is one of the sleekest TV displays with a 29.9 mm thin black panel supported by a slim stand. The front panel has backlit touch keys right under the screen and glow when you touch.

Just like the TV, the 3D glasses are also sleek with a geeky feel and could be used over your power glasses, if you use any. The remote is easy to use with rubberised keys for all the brilliant features such as 3D viewing without flicker,

2D to 3D conversion and smart TV functionality along with separate input keys.

For connections, it has two composite video inputs, two component video inputs, four HDMI inputs and two USB ports. You can connect the 3D smart HDTV to your PC, local area network with a built-in port or the internet for video browsing and streaming. The TV also permits digital and analog audio connections. The viewing has to be done from some distance to get the best visuals effects of 3D.

Another interesting feature of the LG 3D TV is 2D to 3D conversion, which allows regular 2D content to be converted for 3D viewing by merely pressing the 3D button on the remote control. In the Smart TV, there is a Home Dashboard that allows easy navigation through multiple options.

The performance compliments the good looks and features. Blu-ray and 3D video playback was stunning and with the video quality of the HD content running really good. The 2D to 3D conversion and the 3D viewing brings 3D videos to life. And this can be seen from wide viewing angles without straining eyes, thanks to light-weight glasses and the reduced flicker. The light 3D glasses do not require charging like in many other 3D TVs.

LG Cinema 3D TV 55LW6500 is priced at R1,94,000, which is perfect for something like this. The dynamic contrast ratio of LG 3D TV GE?9,000,00:1?is the highest contrast ratio available today, rendering colour effects richer and the quality better. The only disappointment was the sound quality, which at this price, ought to have been better.
