LG 55LM4600 120Hz LED 3D HDTV $799.99 FS Walmart

Quote from anythingbut : Stupid question here but folks what exactly makes a TV a Smart TV? I thought all HDTVs are smart but then this is coming from a guy that still uses my old 27" tube TV.

It's basically a tv that has Internet connectiivity with access to apps like video and music streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, pandora, Hulu, etc.. Some have internet browsers and widgets. It can be a redundant feature as some have similar features on many gaming consoles, blu ray players, stand alone web tv devices or computers hooked up to their tvs. Hope that helps a bit.

Bought this tv from sears. Had it price matched to walmart and got the 100K sywr which the wife already spend. Great picture when properly Calibrated, I love the fact than when connected to your home network can detect any DLNA server to play all your movies and home videos. Last thing is the passive 3D and 2D to 3D mode its awesome kids and wife love it. There is a little bit of glare but nothing major. So far we love the TV. Check the AVS forums for some calibration settings but dont be afraid to use the built in calibration mode.

I just brought the same TV from Best buy and they matched the Walmart price. I brought additionally a LG blue ray player with WIFI to make it smart TV. I will receive the delivery after 3 days. But 55" screen with 3D ability and 2D->3D ability looks good for price.

That helps a lot. Thank for the information.

Have to agree on the glare front. I for one was very surprised that the glare on this lg tv is actually worse than my old panny plasma. Yes i realize comparatively my 2007 panny would be a more expensive "with anti glare" model now adays, but still.

Quote from bravesfan87 : this is the same tv that was $799 at frys during black friday only that was a bundle with a soundbar and 3d blu ray player, i bought that bundle and it is a nice tv certainly especially with this price however since this is not the bundle and just the tv i would not reccomend it. I would say buy a smart tv those have better 3d than this tv, if you dont care about 3d but still have the money i say buy a better tv or a 240hz tv. This tv is not bad but i wouldnt have bought it if not for the bundle, my buddys smart tv looks better.

I don't get how you relate smart TV functionality to 3d performance... many smart TVs are the exact same picture elements as the non smart versions but with apps... so it doesn't make sense you can just say a smart tv is better...

I would expect your friends smart tv perhaps has better picture elements, is another model, or even another brand...

Saying a smart TV has better picture quality is like saying a car with Traction control has better sound from the stereo... maybe correlation but I do'nt see how it's causation.

I think he is just comparing his friend's TV to the LG so forget the "Smart" part of it. That being said I bought this on BF with the bundle and my 2 cents are that HD cable TV is okay depending on channel, 3D is decent but not phenomenal kids still get a kick out of it though, 2D Blu-ray is very very phenomenal looking.

Except for where he says "I would say buy a smart tv those have better 3d than this tv"

Quote from hashpile : You have no clue..

This. A $50 roku box will make your HDTV infinitely "smarter" than the built in widgets for which people pay hundreds extra

I am fine with my PS3 and my dumb TV and with laptops coming with HDMI/Display port you can get a very smart TV very easily now adays... but I have to admit there is something to be said for the convenience factor of built in apps, especially for the non tech savvy.

this is tempting, one of the things for me i personally prefer passive 3D. there is no bulky powered glasses that my kids will break all the time
