LG 47LK950 review

The LG 47LK950 FullHD 3D TV for 649 Euro is a terrific bargain.

this picture from our island looks awesome in 2D to 3D conversion

Where most HD TVs restrict the D-Sub VGA port just to 1280 max the LG accepts and shows full HD 1920x1080.
This 3D LCD TV just keeps blowing my mind with its features.
I just connected over the VGA PC port in full HD and activated 2D to 3D conversion.
Depending of the kind of material you throw at it It works between no 3D to an stunning 3D effect and everything in between.
A lot of my pictures with a person or object in the foreground work quite well, also my own home videos show noticeable depth and GTA San Andreas never looked better.
Connecting a cable from the router and I can look at all the goodies the internet has to offer and I look forward checking out You Tube and its 3D material.
Connecting the satellite dish directly with the LG 47LK950S worked also quite well.

Tips and Tricks
Connecting over VGA showed the whole desktop but over HDMI there was always overscan and lost borders. It took me a while to find that there is no overscan adjustment, but if you go into the aspect ratio, set it from 16:9 to Just Scan.

from a visitor:
The input lag is around 100 milliseconds by default on HDMI, which is rather bad. Enabling the game mode in picture settings will change nothing on this aspect.
However, labelling the HDMI input as PC (highlight the input where the console is connected and press the blue button, then select PC in the list) will reduce the input lag to a very good 30 ms (did my tests with a PC, at 60 Hz). It will also:
- Remove the edge enhancement (giving a render close to a PC monitor),
- Always fill the screen with the scanned data (no more overscan),
- Disable some options in the picture settings.
With this setting, this monitor is clearly one of the best on the market.
Other than that, it is an excellent TV, especially for the price.

I just checked it, pressing INPUT on the top row of the remote and the it was the green button to label the HDMI 1 to PC. It gets a little laptop instead of the HDMI port as an icon and there is no overscan anymore. Thanks for that tip, keep em cumming.

The truth about half of full HD with the LG FPR technology

gizmodo.com: The Best 3D Technology: Stick with Passive Glasses

Here is the proof that LG even beats all the other TV´s in resolution

from the displaymate.com 3D TV ShootOut:

"In all 14 cases the small text (6 to 10 pixels in height) was readable on the FPR Passive Glasses. This definitively establishes that there is excellent 3D Image Fusion and the Passive Glasses deliver full 1080p resolution. Again, if the Passive Glasses only delivered half the resolution, as some claim, then it would have been impossible to read the small text on the FPR TVs. So those half resolution claims are manifestly wrong – no, ands ifs or buts!

What is even more interesting is that in all cases the small text on the Passive Glasses was actually sharper and easier to read and the fine details easier to resolve than on the Active Glasses. "
