Official LG 47LM6700/55LM6700 "Passive 3D" Owners Thread - 2012 - Page 27

LG really needs that update! That's the only issue I have with mine, a few days after getting it I did the software update for my model and it made the trumotion automatically on throughout every picture mode except "game" mode. A rep from LG said they are aware of the issue and when the led update to add trumotion comes out, that will have an update also to fix the plasmas so we can finally turn it off. Ridiculous.

i hope the option not only allows us to turn it on/off, but i hope it has settings, such as low, medium, and high.

Id figure its like mine, settings go from 1-10

which model do you own?

60pm6700, it's a plasma, but I can't see why the option for trumotion once they add it for the LEDs would be any different.

I purchased the 47LM6700 from amazon about 3 weeks ago and played with it for about 2 weeks. The set got returned due to bad picture quality when watching HD Sports, Washed out picture and the epic fail with the TruMotion Cinesmooth feature. This was my first LED 3D tv and the price point + features got me. Right now, I'm seeing the 240hz version on Amazon for 1,049 - 47LM7600 -

Replaced my LG with a Samsung PN51E550 3D 600hz plasma, sports look much better. Blu-Rays are amazing on this set.

Just so everyone knows. The "120hz" version is really only 60hz, while the "240hz" TVs are only 120hz. I don't know how they get away with advertizing the fake 120hz but it pisses me off a little that they would do that. This TV is nowhere near as smooth as my parent's Sony Bravia true 120hz.

Does everyone else experience "double images" when watching any panning scenes? Is there something I have set wrong?

hey thanks for the heads up. I was thinking about giving them a call but since you said they can't fix it, I might have to look for a different way



I'm in the same boat, well kinda. I bought the tv from a local store that does not have a return policy





Just thinking out loud, for the guys that have the reboot issues, do you guys think it might be caused by overheating or something? I know some computers would shut themselves off when they're overheating, since the tv has a processor and ram and stuff maybe it's doing the same thing?

I'm not at home right now so I can't check this but I'm thinking the vents are on the back, right? And most of us would have the tv sitting very close to the wall if not directly mounted to it. And summer is just starting so I guess it's safe to assume that some of us still has the AC turned off and maybe only relying on cooling from open windows or fans? This seems like a possible way to get the tv to overheat.


I have mine sitting close to the wall and my AC is off, windows are closed and only running a ceiling fan so the temp in my living room is kinda high. Anyone else have the same setting maybe?

I'll play around with maybe setting a small fan beside the tv and see if this helps. Let us know too if anyone decides to try this as well.

I doubt it, mine is on a stand that puts it at least a foot away from the wall and it's happened with the AC on at 74 degrees. It's in the warmest part of my apartment, but it's not that warm. Also, it happens within a couple hours while using my PS3, but took much longer than that with my Xbox. In fact, I had thought it didn't happen with the Xbox at all until yesterday when it was on for a lot longer than it has been recently.

I've only got a few days left on my 30 days and I think I may return it and try for a 7600, especially since Paul's has them for the same price I paid for this.

Its 5/29 and still no stinkin update yet. What the heck LG!?!?!?!??!? We need to bug them again.

well got my replacement today. hopefully i don't have the reboot problem or a lot of flash lighting. if i do i will probably be going to look at replacing it with something else.

funny that you mentioned that, mine happens more often on the PS3 than on the XBOX too




yeah hopefully the majority of units do not have this. I don't have a return policy on mine, I'll have to argue with either the store or LG but I'm thinking the best I could get is a replacement and not a full refund

yeah i am hoping i can get a refund through Amazon on this if it does have issues. i'm going to have my wife help me get it all set up this evening.

i got the first one back in March and I kept jumping through hoops and Amazon finally jumped up and helped out. Since I was past the 30 day return I hope I can still get a refund with this replacement since it was a new order number and all.

most tvs are like that, because there arent really any true 120hz sources. your parents sony is probably smoother because the motion smoothing is set on high.

Why does my TV disable the Just Scan under Aspect Ratio menu? It is connected with a Motorola HD cable STB via HDMI. All other aspect ratio settings are available.

Don't bother with the 7600. I am on my 3rd replacement because of flashlighting and lightbleed and 2 of them (including my current set) are rebooting/restarting. About every 2 1/2 hrs. Regardless if I am using my ps3 Xbox or watching directv, it happens. I am on the verge of getting a different brand. Hate that I have to because I have loved LG up to this point and really want a passive 3d set.

wow your on your 3rd set? have you been having the same issues on all three of them? what tv you going to switch over to?

I got 3 from Amazon in a week, and they are all enroute back.

All with severe flashlighting issues, the replacements were all worse than my original set.

I am moving to a the Panasonic PST50 Plasma set - that is RAVED about both here and on cnet.

yeah i was thinking about getting that one or a Samsung Plasma.

I am looking into the Samsung ES6580 or ES7100. They are priced higher than my LG was so I am debating if I sacrifice the 240hz and get the lower of the two models. I haven't seen any reviews on these yet since they are so new so that worries me a bit too. I am really torn at this point....

I just got off the phone with LG customer support and I'm completely pissed off. They told me this exactly "We are sorry to inform you that your model (47lm6700) does not have the tru motion feature and there are no plans to implement it" . This is complete BS, having called last month I was told their so called engineers are working on the issue and I am now out of the return window from where I bought the TV. Sorry does not cut it, he said supposedly a supervisor will give me a call back which I highly doubt. If there is no update by next week or a call I will be raising hell. I didn't buy a 120hz tv to get a 60hz tv and an apology.

yeah i have dealing with nothing but issues from this tv from the get go. my brother has a Samsung LCD tv that is 3-4 yrs old that looks better than this.

anything else in this 1400-1500.00 range to consider in a 55 led model,looking to purchase the LG 55 lm6700 within 30 days,also reliability wise are these LG models in the same park as samsung,pana,sharp ?

I knew I should have went with Panasonic. TVs half the price of the LM6700 look loads better. This is the last time I will ever buy from LG and I'll make sure to persuade anyone I know to stay away as well. I'm still gonna be bugging them though

nothing but problems with mine. just got it replaced yesterday. working to see if this one is going to make it.

Look at the Pannys, not sure what models but I always see some going on sale from time to time on slickdeals. I had a 42" smart vierra and it looked amazing, I'm sure a 55" would be even better.

costco has the panny TC 55LE5Y for 1249 - dont know much about vizio M3D550KD,might go for the pana TCL L55ET5

i heard that vizio is pretty good especially at that price point.

I just received my replacement from Amazon today. The flashlighting is mostly gone on the new one with the exception of one very small spot on the right edge. I wonder if this stuff happens durring shipping. Is it possible the heat on the truck could cause it? Anyway, this set isn't bad at all so I'm keeping it.

This new set now has a trumotion option in the settings menu now. I know the other tv didn't have it and realize the other tv had no trumotion feature enabled at all. First time watching video on this new set showed a lot more smoothness than I ever saw on the previous set.

Here is a video of the trumotion option and software version the TV is on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wqtTdGvtS4

is it the 6700 model? there video isn't there yet
