LG 55LA860W

LG designs the best looking TV going, but what about its pictures?

Gorgeous looking TV, Bright pictures look excellent, Smart TV interface is excellent

Panel's native contrast performance is below par, Local dimming system is a bit crude, Doesn't justify its price

LG 47LA860W review

A hugely impressive user experience makes this 47-inch flagship LED TV fun to use, but it lacks contrast and black levels.

Easy user interface ; Excellent motion clarity and detail ; Handy second screen app ; Effective upscaling

Unreliable Magic Remote ; Lacklustre black levels ; Lacks catch-up TV apps ; Poor EPG

It doesn't have the characteristics demanded of a great home cinema, but most people will love both its looks and its fabulous interface.

LG 55LA860W

Close but no cigar – the LG 55LA860W falls down too much in comparisons with class-leading sets, robbing it of the full five stars

Stunning design ; Intuitive user interface ; Well-handled motion ; Stable 3D ; Crisp outlines

Slightly soft skin tones ; Blacks lack detail ; Whites could be brighter

LG 55LA860W review

LG TVs certainly know how to make an entrance. The 55LA860W – one of LG's most high-end 2013 sets – is a serious looker, thanks to a bezel so thin you don't even notice it for most of the time; the beautiful finish applied to the bezel's sides; and a...

Beautiful design; bright pictures look great; Magic Remote; strong Smart TV interface

Below average native black level response; weak local dimming

LG 60LA8600

The LG LA8600 series of HDTVs offers beautiful aesthetics, sharp 2D and 3D imagery, and rich color reproduction at a premium price. You get lots of features with this series, some of which are of questionable value.

Outstanding HD picture quality, solid 3D, and copious features are all characteristics of any flagship HDTV line, and the LG 55LA8600 doesn’t disappoint. It may not get as bright as the more affordable Panasonic TC-L55ET60 and its picture isn’t quite...

LG 55LA8600 LED TV review

LG's LA8600 is the company's top of the line LED TV for 2013

Attractive design ; Generally good picture quality ; Decent 3D quality

Plastic stand ; Smart TV interface can be sluggish ; Voice and motion features hit and miss

The LG LA8600 is the company's top of the line LED TV for 2013. Its Smart TV interface is neither as extensive or as smooth as some rival offerings, but it remains an excellent TV overall.

LG 55LA8600 Review

With a gorgeous design, the industry's most intuitive remote and an excellent Smart TV interface, LG's LA8600 is bound to be a crowd favorite.

To be sure, this TV is not for videophiles. Its black levels are disappointing, the bloom from the LED edge-lighting is impossible for the trained eye to look past and the off-axis blurring can be annoying.

LG's high-end LED TV delivers midrange picture

LG's LA8600 LED LCD delivers one of the best, most innovative Smart TV suites we've tested, but its picture quality isn't up to the level of its competitors.

LG's ; exhibits accurate color and very good video processing; beautiful minimalist design with hairline bezel and distinctive stand; excellent Smart TV suite anchored by unique Motion Control remote; superior cable box control and TV listing feature;...

Relatively expensive; lighter black levels; somewhat uneven screen uniformity; cable box control scheme still inadequate for heavy DVR users; no Amazon Instant Video app.

Although its lovely frame is packed with well-executed features, the flagship-priced LG LA8600 series LED LCD TV has the picture of a midrange model.
