\"LG
\nOne the reasons we really like the LG 55LM6700 is the exceptional looks and design of the panel. The cabinet is almost invisible \u2013 leaving you with a \u201cfloating\u201d picture image on-screen. Combine that with the 1.2\u201d depth and you’ve got a very sleek looking set. A few of the features in the top end LG models for 2012 that we think can be bypassed are the 480Hz refresh rate panel and true local dimming. Though we like the local dimming feature a lot, it does add a lot to cost. The picture quality on the LG 55LM6700 (120Hz panel) will not disappoint you. The new clear coat screen for 2012 is exceptionally vibrant. <\/p>\n

Side angle viewing is much better than previous models though not as good as the top end models due to the panel filter not being as high quality. Another feature that helps bring forth a beautiful picture from this TV is the LED Plus technology which uses some edge lit LED backlighting techniques to enhance contrast in localized areas of the screen. OK that might sound a little technical but to put it in laymans terms \u2013 it helps produce deeper blacks and brighter light areas on a smaller basis than before and that combination helps colors to pop. Pricing runs right around the $2000 mark up to $2300. The model is also available in a 47\u201d version \u2013 the LG 47LM6700.
