Summary: The LG 42LW550T is a 42-inch passive 3D LED television also displays full high definition pictures. It comes with seven pairs of glasses that deliver two separate images to each eye to give the illusion of a 3D image. It features Freeview HD built-in,...
Conclusion: The LG 42LW550T is capable of displaying images with a genuine sense of 3D but its pictures failed to get us excited.
Pro : At a little over £560, the LG 42LW550T is an affordable option for those dying to hop on the 3D TV bandwagon. The LG 42LW550T may be a bargain but it still performs admirably
Cons : However, as impressive as the 3D tech is, the images aren’t enough to excite. The LG 42LW550T lacks the ‘wow’ factor that other high-end 3D TVs have. The LG 42LW550T has a high standard to live up to, but doesn’t quite reach it

Cons : Contrast ratio not quite perfect (1005:1) ; More crosstalk visibile thanon a plasma 3D TV ; Media player doesn't support M2TS or MTS files

Summary: LG's 42LW550T proves definitively that passive 3D technology really does have a major role to play in today's 3D TV world
Conclusion: 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...
Pro : Seven 3D glasses included for free ; 3D viewing is comfortable and sociable ; Excellent multimedia functionality
