    Thanks for posting jkbx, I've added price and merchant info to the title

    am seriously tempted...

    seems that the 5 year warranty is an additional £65

    how has this price been calculated to include the warranty?

    They have a deal at the moment. They give you a free 5yr guarantee for some TVs. I went to the store and asked them and paid £650 for the TV and got the free guarantee ;)

    I posted a link to the receipt in the description

    Anyone know the difference between this and the 47lw550t?
    No freeview hd and no smart tv - anything else?

    Worth noting that this is an LG Cinema passive 3D set and comes with 7 pairs of glasses.

    Is active better than passive, apart from the obvious really expensive glasses ?

    There is much debate surrounding this but there have been some consume tests that seem to sway towards passive.

    Issues such as crosstalk and flickering are common with active technology and as you quite rightly mentioned, there is an impact on cost with active glasses especially if you have to get 4 or so pairs.

    I have this TV and for 3D the passive is excellent and no flicker like many of the active sets. The only down side in my opinion is the picture isn't as vibrant as the Samsung TV's, I've tweaked the settings but can't get the same colour saturation and sharpness, but I guess that personal preference. No SmartTV functions, but if you have a games console or appleTV that isn't a problem, it could also do with and extra HDMI socket, otherwise I’d recommend this TV and at the price it’s a steal.

    Active is full HD as it displays either one frame or the other, passive is 720p as it displays both frames at the same time, hence no flickering.

    Not 720p, but somewhere in between. Passive 3D is the system that reduces the resolution of the 3D image. A Full HD 3D 1920 x 1080 Blu-ray is presented at 1920 x 540 pixels; Sky 3D, which transmits in a 1920 x 540 resolution side-by-side format, is delivered at 960 x 540

    LG say this is not the case, since your brain puts the 2 half HD images together to create 1 full HD image (in much the same way it does for interlaced images). What they neglect to mention is that if you follow this logic, then full HD using Active 3D is in effect double full HD.

    I have tried quite a few 3D TV's & monitors, and imho Passive is the best - not because it's the highest quality, but because it is the easiest to watch, uses simpler technology & also the fact the most 3D content is SBS which is two half HD images side by side - so any advantage Active 3D has won't be seen.

    Cheaper here £549.99 if you collect in person, or £594.99 delivered. I have dealt with these guys before & they are ok - not terribly communicative, but it arrived ok.

    Not sure that I agree with LG's spin on the 3D Full HD, but none the less I would recommend passive over active any day of the week, I am in the technology installation business and have tried lots of different active and passive sets and as the dude says above, passive is much the easiest to watch and I agree.

    I would agree passive with cheaper glasses (and lighter) makes it easier to watch and better on your wallet
