Can anybody comment on the gaming lag on this set and if I would notice it coming from an ST30. This looks to be an amazing TV and if the lag isnt there I am going to sell my ST30 for the LM6700. Also how is the picture quality, can you guys post some pictures? Any repsonses are appreciated, thanks kindly

im not a hardcore gamer, but i did play a few rounds of COD and it seemed fine on the 6700. i did test out the 5600 awhile back and i noticed the lag right away. i think the 6700 is much better than the 5600 when it comes to gaming.

the 3d on the 6700 is pretty freakin amazing.

i have not been able to test out the 3d on the st30 yet, because i do not have any glasses.

for 2D material, the st30 smokes this tv in every way. blu-rays look much more accurate on the st30, and even SD material looks better on the st30.

Is this something that we just have to live with in these TVs? Or is it possible to get a model that has uniform blacks all around? It's strange I have never seen this in smaller LCD monitors, how can we accept this in a large expensive TV?

I bought it off Amazon and I do not know how good their replacement policy is on these.

Please help me understand the Hz on this thing cause i have no adj like on the lw6500 or 5600. I read some talk where ppl said it basicly was a 60hz TV. Is this true? If so this will be the last straw on this thing and its going back. Thanks for ur help in advance...

Sure there are tvs that are 120, 240, 480 or 600hz... but that's by means of adding frames (which in my opinion looks artificial). I always hear people saying "my tv is 120hz but every source says 60hz"... that's because things aren't broadcast over 60hz. Earlier in this thread there was a lot of talk about this issue and I think people don't actually know what they're complaining about. My cousin was actually sold very expensive HDMI cables because the guy at Best Buy told him they could carry 600hz... what a joke. A 10 dollar HDMI cable off amazon will do the exact same thing.

The 3d on the 6700 is really good. Blu-ray on the 6700 is pretty good as well, but i think the st30 is better. some of my friends think that i nit-pick, so something that i notice, may not be noticeable to you.

don't let me make the decision for you, definitely check out both tvs with your own eyes.

There's also complaints from a lot of people about some kind of faint line through the screen.

I knew the ST30 was a great tv and I understand plasma contains inherently better picture quality, but every time I see these LEDs they just look so sharp and clear. Don't know what I'm going to do now but again, thanks for the response!

I had been concerned about the depth and whether I could remove the bottom speakers as well. The entrance to the room where this is wall mounted is on the side of the TV, so keeping the depth as shallow as possible was a primary concern of mine. I ended up getting the Monoprice #5918 ultra-slim mount (0.75" depth) with my 55LM6700, and this mount sits completely in the "shallow depth" part of the set (i.e. above the speakers), and when mounted there is a small amount of clearance between the speakers and the wall. Bottom line is with this mount there was no need to remove the speakers, so I didn't even try.

Also, things are *tight* behind the set. I had originally installed a recessed receptacle for power (Leviton 689-W), but the plug on the power cord that came with the TV had nowhere near enough clearance to come out of the receptacle and bend over quickly enough with this mount, nevermind the fact that I would have had to coil the cord somewhere (did I mention it was tight?). So I ended up burying a box in the wall and plugged into that - I was also able to push some of the power cord into the wall (bonus). And don't even think of any kind of keystone jack plate for hdmi/other cables, you pretty much need to have them come out parallel to the wall (I used a DataComm 45-0002-WH plate and the mess of cables came out fine).

I have the 55LW6500 and am using the supplied USB wireless stick. My TV is on level 1 of my home and my router is on level 3 and I have no issues with speed. I get about 7-15 Mbps on a 20Mbps connection.

I'm using the following router Linksys E4200. Try getting a better router. My parents use a TrendNet Wireless N router and they get half the range that I do.

Trust me dude, i understand where you are coming from. you paid for the tv, and it should it should of had the option of tuning the trumotion settings.
to me it looks like a 48fps avisynth script that lots of people do with their htpc.

this was posted earlier by someone else:
It's just a matter of time now until the first batch has TruMotion installed via software update. Not only did the gentleman who I spoke with know his stuff, but he gave deadlines and clear expectations of when we can expect an update - By the end of May, if not sooner. He suggested we keep checking as it could become available any day now.

In short, here are the highlights and specific details from the conversation:

1. If you buy a 47" or 55" with a May serial number the feature will exist. They come with a newer version of the firmware which includes the TruMotion settings.

2. If you have a TV older than late Apr/May (Mine has an early Apr serial number) a web released update will be available no later than the end of May.

3. There is no need to worry about hardware compatibility. The newest batch and first are hardware identical. The problem is simply a software oversight and resolved with the update.

I hope this helps. If you're at all like me, you love this set! I'm looking forward to being able to tweak the dejudder settings and TruMotion processing.

The settings aren't very forgiving and you can't simply crank up the

whites,crushed blacks or a jaggy washed-out mess..Good news is I managed to get a great picture eventually

Here are my settings which are tweaked settings from one of the sites
mentioned earlier.these worked very well for me.

Below are settings I use for most content including movies.
If interested in a mild dose of SOE, change "Color Temp"="medium", reduce "color"=48.

Eventually I was able to almost completely eliminate the flashing by rubbing my thumb along the edge where it was.
