Cons

This LG LED TV is relatively expensive. Its edge-lit local dimming LED scheme produces some artifacts and blooming; highlights were somewhat muted in dark scenes; and even from off-angle the picture loses contrast worse than most such TVs. The LW5600'
Passive 3D glasses cut picture resolution, Confusing menu setup, Neither one of the two remotes is easy to use
Black levels aren't the darkest around, Passive 3D has reduced resolution
Some 3D crosstalk. LGbranded Web apps could use a makeover.

The LG 55LW5600 came very close to earning a Home Theater Top Pick recommendation. I went back and forth more than once on the single issue that troubled me: the nonuniform brightness at the sides of the screen. Ultimately, I must come down on the...
