LG releases the new 2012 flagship LED television, LG LM9600 – Part 1

LG’s 2012 flagship LED television is, known by the name of LG LM9800 series. It has three denominations in 47 inches, 55 inches and 60 inches. There is an 85-inch model coming later in the year but that is touted a completely different animal.

The new television is an upgrade to last year’s LW 9800 in terms of software features and other physical tweaks. However, as loud as the new TV wants to make a shout in the current market, it comes shorthanded in many aspects. Some of them are related to the software, some to the picture quality and structure.

Design

In one glance the new TV set makes a strong statement with a beautiful design and even more so with the stand underneath it, which is ribbon-shape loop that gives a déjà vu effect of a couple of TVs we have seen this year.

The Korean company has made the new LM9600 extremely thin with style and strength in the chassis. The bezel is one of the thinnest in the market at a mere width of 5mm. The depth of the set is even more mesmerizing and it does not have a big bulge like its competition has. It is as good to mount on the wall as it is to sit on a table. Overall aesthetics make the television a good piece of furniture. The 5mm bezel separating the screen from the background gives a very attractive look to the appliance.

The screen is dense and in HD dimensions and is LED backlit across the board. However, there are some issues with the picture quality that do not really comply with the premium price of $3,300. But, more on that later.

There are three USB ports for plugging in peripherals and USB drives. Other connections are fairly familiar, with four HDMI ports, one AV and one component (with adapter), RGB, antenna, and an optical digital.

The LM9600 comes with a Magic Motion remote control that has a scrolling ball and a microphone in addition to conventional buttons.
