Seven 3D glasses included for free ; 3D viewing is comfortable and sociable ; Excellent multimedia functionality

full HD 3D not as detailed as on active 3D screens ; Very limited vertical viewing angle ; Uninspiring audio

The 42LW550T certainly isn’t perfect; there are plenty of areas where LG can improve things with its 2012 passive 3D range, and its key 3D reduced resolution issue isn’t going to disappear. But crucially, the 42LW550T’s smaller size does a handy job of...

3D picture quality is very good ; cheap glasses ; smart functionality

Issues with motion and upscaling ; can sound aggressive

A solid buy, especially if 3D figures high on your agenda

Seven 3D glasses included for free ; Relatively relaxing passive 3D pictures ; No 3D flicker ; Bright and punchy images ; Fair value

Lack of 3D detail ; Slightly jagged contours in 3D ; Poor input lag

LG's passive Cinema 3D technology has so far proved hit and miss. The 47LW550T impressed, while the 55LW650T disappointed, the 42-inch 42LW550T arrives with mixed expectations.

Impressive Smart TV functions ; Excellent contrast level ; Extensive picture adjustments ; Fuss-free 3D implementation ; Audio performance

Crosstalk evident with some 3D material ; Overall design could be improved ; Passive 3D brings a drop in resolution

Comes with multi pairs of glasses; half-res images are good; wide viewing angle

Inconsistent 2D-to-3D conversion; poor audio

The LG 42LW550T is capable of displaying images with a genuine sense of 3D but its pictures failed to get us excited. LG 42LW550T is tagged with LG, 42LW550T, review, 3D, LED television and 42-inch. Select a tag (LG, for example) to find everything on...

Overall 3D performance, colour reproduction, black levels

Some 3D crosstalk, motion trailing

As the first 3D alternative to the established active shutter set, LG's 47LW550 makes a convincing argument for Passive extra dimensional technology. Apart from a few minor niggles it also makes a pretty good day to day 2D screen as well.

Extremely Clear Picture, in both 2D and 3D, Little or no eye stress in using passive 3D glasses (Very pleasant change from Active Shutter Glasses used by all other Manufacturers, Competitive price. Ease of set up.

Easy set up

To many sub menus to go through to get to the setting you need. TV would benefit immensely with ob board support for a USB keyboard / finger pad input for web browsing.
