I bought this tv to mainly play game consoles on, And it has not let me down.
The huge 400MCI (motion rate) means next to no blurring when playing fast paced games like Black ops 2 and F1 2012,
I have found there is slight lag when playing Fifa, This is more the ps3 not coping with the output of the tv. I would recommend fiddling around with the picture settings to make sure you get 100% out out the tv. the 2D to 3D conversion is not worth touching.(you hardly notice the difference) Bluray 3D films are truly amazing, Connect a surround sound system and your practically on par with the cinema! the only thing that was disappointing with this set is the sound, The thin bezel sacrifices good speakers and you notice the loss of sound while watching action films like avengers and the Dark night rises, Its nothing a cheap surround sound set or sound bar cant fix.

So to summarize the picture is perfect and motion is so smooth, But lack of speakers that can pack a punch lets it down in my opinion.

I recently bought this TV and i'm quite happy with it. I'm not giving 5 stars because in specification it says it has wifi built-in, but after doing a bit of research and mailing LG support team i find out that it doesn't has and you need to buy an extra wifi dongle. So if you want to connect it to internet and you don't want to spend extra money on a dongle and don't want an extra LAN cable lying around you should search for something else.

I was getting annoyed again at my Samsung LED TV which again decided it wasnt going to connect to the router ,after another 5 mins on the Samsung Help line (very good im must say),I decided to sell this TV after 18 months and upgrade to a smart TV .
So when I spotted this 3D Smart TV for the same price I paid for my old TV it was pencilled down for consideration.
I looked at all the feedback for this item and was pleasantly surprised as I hadn't considered a LG before ,the price was good on Amazon and the world famous CS is a comfort .

Well I took the plunge and ordered it ,two days later it arrived and my TV viewing has been improved by 200 %
1.The set up was so much easier than the old Samsung ,connect up and within minutes its uploaded the lastest software,tuned the Stations and set up all my DLNA devices .I was so gobsmacked I kept testing the connection to ensure they work correct correctly -they were (Samsung please take note)
2.The sound is 100% no 200& better than my 18 month Samsung ,even tried them next to each other and the LG was streets ahead,the Samsung needed a sound bar to produce even close to the same output.
3.Picture quality in normal mode is stunning,deep blacks and the depth of picture is very good
4.3D wasn't the reason for buying it and due to a dodgy eye I suspected i wont see it -wrong its amazing -just down loaded some 3D Imax
films and it was in my living room ,felt like I was diving again .

In my view this TV is a absolute bargain ,if i had the cash I would buy the bigger version ,but for under £400 its a steal.
Just the ease of installation and not really needed the normally ignored manual was a worth the change to LG -Well done

This TV has a fantastic picture and a multitude of picture and sound options . The passive 3D is amazing and works well with SKY 3D but I think in retrospect its somewhat of a gimmick as I find myself using the glasses less and less- that said- Avatar blu ray 3D is fantastic . The only 2 issues I have had, have been with sound . I hooked it up to my Sony surround system and it seems when watching Sky recordings that the sound occasionally goes out of sync with the actors mouths. Also there are sometimes buzzing noises from the actual TV speakers in some spoken dialogue sections - the way round that was to set the sound mode to GAME but its annoying nevertheless. I have played Gran Turismo 5 on the TV for some time and found the picture to be fine - with so no real game lag issues I could notice. The TV has come down in price over the months - I had seen it at £749 and now its £649 so get yourself a bargain.

After lots of research into features and brands I settled on the LG 47LM620T. Sure it's not the latest model (now it's Jan 2013) but looking at the features introduced since this model, it looked like a great point of cost-benefit. I'm pretty critical when it comes to these things so am very pleased to say I am really pleased with it so far:

+ Picture is fantastic, especially in HD. "Africa" on BBC HD is just stunning to watch. Take the time to set up the picture (using the many options) to suit it to yourself.
Viewing your photos on the set (see DLNA below), they look excellent - the resolution is great and a great way to see them large and in detail.

+ 2D to 3D system works better than you might think it would albeit a bit of a gimmic.

+ 3D (passive) works like in the cinema. 4 sets of glasses come with it (which are big enough to go over my prescription glasses btw), and yes you can use those passive glasses from the cinema with it.

+ Menu system / guide etc. easy to use and sensible. Not blisteringly fast response-wise to the remote, but by no means slow enough to be annoying. Good because this sort of thing annoys me on some sets!

+ Can play video etc from a USB memory stick.

+ PVR feature is fab and under-sold. Connect a USB hard drive and it can pause, rewind and record TV SD and HD. Select what to record from the programme guide.
Some things to note on this:
a) It must be a HDD NOT a USB memory stick.
b) It should be a mains powered one, not USB powered.
c) It must be 40Gb or over in size.
d) You need to be happy for the TV to delete everything on the HDD to use its own custom disk format.
e) You can't copy programs off the HDD to your computer due to the custom disk format (for copyright reasons)
Follow this and it works (e.g. a Seagate STBV2000200 2TB Expansion USB 3.5 inch External Hard Drive - £70).
*** STOP PRESS / UPDATE! : Am now having some problems with the recording blacking out for a sec or so every so often with the DVR recording :-(
Trying to determine if this is the drive or the TV :-(
***

There is a rudimentary day-based repeat-record facility but haven't found a true series link feature.
There is only one tuner in the TV so watching one channel and recording another isn't possible (no big deal for me)
EPG/Guide turns picture and sound off. Some people might find that annoying.

+ Built in iPlayer works well (my internet connection is 5Mb/s down)
LoveFilm and Netflix supported (I have not tried these as I don't have a subscription (yet))

+ In theory at least, Eurosport Player is coming soon to the Smart TV apps.

+ Ethernet connection works fine for all networking features. There is no Wifi in this model but who cares. If it matters you can buy a dongle from LG for it.

+ DLNA support is great. Easy to setup a server on your PC/Mac and then you can stream pics/music/videos etc directly over your network to the TV - works very well with the totally free Serviio media server [...]

- Sound lacks a bit of bass but this is to be expected from thin LED sets to be honest. I managed to get our older Dolby surround system (digital non-optical) working with the optical TV output on the TV via an adaptor sourced from Kenable. Works well.

- Wii console video quality not brilliant (when connected via the composite analogue input). To be expected really - HDMI adaptor for Wii is on order to hopefully solve this ...

Brilliant TV, picture quality is superb, 3d works great, it has a lot of options to play about.

Despite people slagging off the sound - I can't see what's the problem with it. The TV is loud enough to use it for a small party !! Obviously it won't be as good as a proper sound system but it's a TV !! So don't listen to all those unrealistic snobs :P - sound on this TV is brilliant.

You do NOT need the MAGIC remote as you can download an APP for your phone to do the same thing. It will basically turn your phone to a touchpad (bit like a laptop) - which works perfectly well.

This review is from: LG 47LM620T 47-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p LED Cinema 3D Smart TV with Freeview HD and 4 Pairs of 3D Glasses (Electronics)
I bought this 47LM620T TV to replace a VERY old plasma, which was really starting to show it's age.

It took me months to make my mind up (knowing full well I'll be living with it for many years!) but I feel I've made the right choice.

Ordered on Express delivery and delivered by City Link the next day (on a Saturday morning) after being dispatched from the Amazon distribution centre in Scotland.

With a price tag of just 608,00 GBP this set sits at the bottom end of the 47" Smart Passive 3D TV category, but to be honest even when comparing side-by-side with sets that are double in price I'm not entirely sure what they can do that this one can't. OK, so it doesn't come with wi-fi out of the box, or with the magic motion remote (those are optional extras on this model) but the one thing that really matters is the picture quality, and after watching Avatar 3D I can honestly say it blew me away.

Input lag - I personally don't notice it when playing PS3. This subject will always be devisive amongst reviewers because a) there is no conclusive standard to measure it and b) everyones own perception of it is different. I have seen review web-sites that claim to test for it, yet all come up with different results from negligable to significant. I can only feel relieved that for me it isn't a problem on this one.

Sound - the biggest let-down, but you're never going to get thumping bass from such tiny speakers concealed in the bottom of a very flat screen. I think manufacturers pretty much expect people to have external surround speaker set-ups or soundbars anyway, which I've never invested in to date as the speakers in my old plasma were pretty beefy. For now I alternate between the various default sound modes, which include 'Cinema' and 'Music' amongst others.

Overall I'm very happy with what I got for the money.


4.0 out of 5 stars Reflective screen and minor niggles, 12 Jan 2013

The first thing you notice about this TV is the build quality: it's good. The stand is plasticky but probably metal-reinforced, and doesn't wobble like some of those belonging to cheaper TVs. The majority of the frame is metal, and the screen is covered in glass (or what looks like glass). This makes for a very solid-feeling device, but it also means that it's heavy and has a reflective screen. Many mid- to high-end LED TV manufacturers are opting for glass-covered screens in order to make the colours "pop", but it's not for everyone. If you're looking for a TV that's lightweight or free from (faux-?) glass-induced reflections, then this isn't the TV for you.

The picture from HD sources looks great, but standard definition suffers from the usual pixelation. What is a surprise is the 3D capability. Since it's a passive system, the resolution is downgraded whenever it's on, but you really don't notice this; all you notice is the excellent 3D effect. It's great being able to watch decent 3D without the need for expensive rechargeable glasses.

The 42LM620T does have a few niggles about it. One of the biggest is the implementation of the smart features. Whenever you switch on to them, the TV ignores your previous backlight setting. It's hard to overstate how irritating this becomes: you're watching in a dimly-lit room with the backlight down, switch to the home screen and suddenly you're blinded. This is entirely a software issue, and something LG needs to sort out. Then there's the use of the headphone port: connect something to it and the digital optical audio output stops working. Why? There's no good reason for it. LG really needs to take a leaf out of Toshiba's book when it comes to headphone ports (a Toshiba TV usually has a headphone port that's completely independent: it doesn't cut off the other audio outputs when in use, and it can have its own volume control, separate to the speakers, if you should wish).

Overall, the 42LM620T a very good TV, with a few relatively minor niggles that prevent it from being a 5 star item.
