LG Cinema 3D TV Review

LG’s latest contribution to home 3D technology, the Cinema 3D TV, features new flicker-free 3D technology, a larger viewing angle, a brighter screen, and glasses that are more comfortable to wear. Put together, these factors make for a much more pleasant and enjoyable 3D experience at home than was previously available.

The Cinema 3D TV looks to be a real game changer on the 3D landscape, pushing the boundaries of what was previously possible in the 3D experience at home. It is one of the first mainstream units that unquestionably takes the best of 3D technology and puts it right into your home at an affordable price.

Features
The Cinema 3D features Film Patterned Retarder technology, which is a brand new 3D breakthrough designed to optimize the complete separation of the left and right images. Film Patterned Retarder technology matches up flawlessly with the included 3D glasses to create an enhanced picture that is now smoother than ever.

Also featured in LG’s Cinema 3D is a light boosting technology that boosts the brightness of the notoriously dark typical 3D image. Light Boost is a thin film that covers the television’s screen to counteract inherent dimness and create clearer images.

Specs
The glasses are one of the most remarkable specifications of this unit as they are some of the most comfortable and lightweight to be found on the market. They glide effortlessly onto your face so much so that you forget you even have them on halfway into the viewing.

Other important specs include the unit’s 2D to 3D conversion capability, the TruMotion 120(100)Hz in most units, its Smart Energy Saving Plus design, and the LED Plus screen. The LG Cinema 3D TV is compatible with DLNA, Wi-Fi, and DVR and may be used for DivX Plus and HD viewing.

The recently announced prices for these LG Cinema 3D TV units raises the bar for the affordability of 3D technology. There is a 200Hz unit offered with four pairs of 3D glasses, a Wi-Fi dongle, and a Magic suit remote control available at only $3,500. The lower-priced high-end units are as low as $2,000 for a television that still offers the Smart TV feature.

Even the accessories are affordable with separate 3D glasses units going for as low as $10 a pair. You can purchase the Wi-Fi dongle separately, if it was not included with your television, for only $80 and the Magic suit remote control for only $120.

Final Thoughts
This new technology from LG is groundbreaking, to say the least. With the Cinema 3D TV, LG has made a huge step toward making 3D technology standard fare in homes across the globe. With the elimination of the flicker effect, eye fatigue from watching 3D films will be greatly lessened if not conquered completely. The wider viewing angle allows for more people to gather around the television set, which allows for a better whole-family experience.

Although we believe that 3D viewing will still be classified as a special occasion at home for a while now, just as it is in the theater, this unit makes it easier to partake of and less tiring. While it might still be a while before sports and wildlife programs are broadcast in 3D, with this unit you will be ready when that day comes.
