LG 55LM8600 Review

LED HDTV  8/10


By

LG 55LM8600Though this is the #2 model in the LG lineup we felt safer recommending it due to spotty supply in the top model. It has the super attractive Cinema Screen design by LG which designates the super sharp .25” width screen frame of a metallic color (brushed silver). This gives the TV a window like effect with so little framing surrounding the screen. The picture performance will not disappoint either with an excellent screen filter and brightness showing through the from the LED edge lit backlighting. There are additional upgrade features such as the Resolution upscaler and 3D depth control.

Natural Rich colors

.25” frame with of bezel with Cinema Screen design gives the window effectively

4 pairs included passive 3D glasses

Value due to lower cost of passive 3D

Weaknesses

Floating included table top stand design is not for everyone

Passive 3D may not render as deep a picture with 3D

2D to 3D conversion is not a convincing feature
