I did play with the setting of LM6700 at a local show room and I did notice all the problems CNET mentioned. Even my LS4600 has more or less the same problem... Well, more actually.

I wasn't just looking at LM6700 series but Samsung Series 6 as well as both models are of the lowest end of their high-end models for this year. Both models have glossy screen but somehow, LG's reflects more light. Picture quality and black level wise, Samsung Series 6 seems to perform better (black level still lacks behind previous years' Series 6 models though) but this year's Series 6 is is missing the ultra clear panel which is a major downgrade from all the previous Series 6 models.

Anyway, of all HDTV reviewers out there, CNET is the most credible and their reviews are always used as a gauge to compare HDTV offered by various manufacturers.


As a matter of fact, LG OLED was actually picked by CNET as the best LG OLED they have seen so far. That was back in January this year of course. However, they also suggest that the Samsung OLED they saw is a prototype and it was way too early to tell who makes better OLED. Besides, Samsung Executives were keeping mum and weren't giving much info. Until OLED HDTV from both companies hit the shelf, it's way too early to tell as CNET suggested

By the way, OLED HD display was originally a SONY technology but they have since decided not to continue with that and will focus on a total new technology dubbed Crystal LED. That is something to watch out too

get to know 55 LM4610 from perfect living fair last week.

quoted me RM4999 with 8 specs.. but i didnt buy cuz due to budget..

anyone mind to share more abt this model?izit value for money?
any place still can get this model?

thx sifu.

eh no its terrible. Its just pure treble. No bass at all. But the default setting for audio was really bad till u set it as vivid. btw eh where got so many adjustments. Main ones are just the equalizer.

to compensate. So far so good. Panasonic has a better soundbar but just wanted everything to work with simplylink.

Using this when watching astro.

Mine has both bass and treble setting but both are useless. You can hardly notice the difference even after I set both to the maximum


My previous TV wasn't a LG. When you suddenly switch to this TV, you really can notice the subpar sound coming out from this TV And I went back to the showroom last night where I bought my LS4600 LED TV and played with a few different TV sets. And the sound quality of LM6700 is not much better than my LS4600. If you play it with LG demo video, the sound is all clear and loud. But if you use it to watch Astro Beyond SD or HD channel, or DVD, it is not so nice anymore. The difference is really noticeable if you compare it to a SONY or Samsung LED TV (which I did).

Anyway, may I know how much did you buy this soundbar for ?

Got it singapore for rm1120roughly. Didnt nego was in a rush.Think it was best denki.Theres one more model think arnd rm600 without the subwoofer. Wasnt available.

Aiks, more money. I might as well have gone for a SONY or Samsung back then but thanks anyway

I had Samsung 5 lcd series but sound quality lacks the punch of LM6700. Really. LM has more tuning. Btw, I tested also LS series at showroom but it lacks the LM sound in comparison as it plays back to back. Maybe other factor of open space & interferences to be taken into consideration. The boss also agreed.

Anyway, I only watch Astro beyond va TV speaker otherwise all via AV system . Even I adjust Beyond to Digital Audio. Anyway, each source need tweaks & as said its default audio is kinda below par. So I bet the showroom u went to has adjusted on Bluray player but no adjustment on source from Astro Beyond.

But I kinda agree with u that other LG models such as subpar audio but not LG LM series. I bought my dad LG 42 " LCD TV last year model has poor audio indeed.

Again, I'm impressed with its audio as its a slim TV yet it produce unexpectedly good sound. It's way better than my Samsung LCD 5 series model & my dads LG.


Check this out,

Btw, it can also adjust 3d surround for 3d movies. I Donno if it works as I watch my 3 D via AV system.
One can also tweak the sound system as if it's wall mounted, stand and one other. This 3 adjustment gave 3 very distinguish sound, really.


Compare to LS series review of same reviewer

Sound Quality
(There are two nice upgrade features in the audio area – a sound optimizer to help sound quality based on the position of the TV, walls, and stands is the first. The second is the Clear Voice II function which enhances the voices of characters on-screen over the normal range and background.

I was very impressed with the sound output. After going through the Online Menu to You Tube and dialing up U2's Electric Storm, I found it necessary to dial the volume all the way down to 10 (out of 100) due to the strong audio output. The speakers on this TV aren't bad at all.)

again dunno what u mean by it being good.

I test all my encodes for SOX, LFE especially on AAC encodes.
On my ipad with my headset i get to hear everything. On the LG nada except in DD5.1 with my HT system.

Thats the reason y my first few encodes i didnt find the Overnormalization fault. This is why i was pissed with the LG. Had to reencode and found out when i listen it on the ipad i found the problem. Overnormalization aka white noise.

My comparison is my pioneer XG 42. I know its not slim but that 6 year old tv default speakers to the LM6700 was like a super downgrade.

Btw good audio sources ure suppose to hear it as it was recorded. The voice control etc serves no purpose for me other han distorting audio source.

btw my arguement abt it being bad is not comparing with other the slim tv or even using slim tv to lg benefit. its from what i hear to what i had tells me its bad.

Gosh...we were comparing on TV speaker. Not other external audio speaker etc. likewise its advisable to get sound bar if one needed better audio or sound of real 5.1 or 2.1 or whatsoever. For me it works fine as a STEREO speaker. Of course which flat tv gave super boost bass?

Oops.Will explain this step by step.

Ok i do encoding from true source normally TrueHD or DTS-MA core. The encodes i do a itunes based so its a AAC-LC stereo and Dolby Digital II.

What i meant was i was always testing my encodes on the TV via HT on dolby digital 5.1 before i do releases.
Releases mean releases my encodes to the public. The way i do encodes was to break each channel to single wave and mux them with a spectogram and normalize each wave on it. Would this for AC3 pass-through which is dolby digital 5.1. The AAC is encoded from the high source AC3. The encode would later reduce the bitrate to comply with 384bit for AC3.

What happen recently there was a issue with overnormalization on the AAC which i normally tested on the tv stereo. I couldnt hear it until i tested it out on my ipad with headphones.

Thats how bad this tv is on stereo.

Didnt have this issue with stock speakers from my Pioneer Plasma PDP-428-XG.Currently on stereo this is my default tv for testing instead of the LG.

Hence what i meant how bad the speakers are. I tested on multiple wave on muxed into stereo encodes with normalization. It doesnt pickup a lot of the lower end part of the spectogram.

Those reviewers i doubt even went this far and i only did it to troubleshoot the white noise issue with my encoding.

Encodes were done from pure blu-ray sources for my appletv.

And what i was saying it doesnt matter whether its a flat tv etc. Think Miles is in the same opinion as me. U buy a tv u dont short change with speakers. Do whatever tech u have to make it work. In that regards this is a failure for me.

Its the samething u buy a 1mm thin glass phone like iron man in the future and has all the features but u cant hear the other person talk clearly. Will u let the manufacturer say oh its a thin glass type use a headphone etc?? Its a phone the basic stuff is the mic and speakers should always be excellent regardless of size.

Same thing with tv. Regardless of size the basic function of a tv which is video and audio must be good together.

Is that LG just adjusted their TV price?
Seems all LEDs lowered by around 1K.....

Just did a encode for MIB 3 from pure source 50gb blu-ray. After 10 hours worth of slogging on video and audio. Guess what again played it on LG. Looks awesome on pic but stock speakers sound crap. Turned on the 3520.. and everything came alive and reproduced exactly as it sounded on the ipad for AAC stereo. Heck i am just comparing it with a stock iphone headphones.

So again dunno where the speakers being good with those reviewers. Must be drunk or LG must have given them something something on the down low.

Wow..that's kinda fast u got MIB 3 on bd? It's xpected to release in US & UK ony on Nov 2012. I know coz I pre order it. Which source u got frm? Bet its China made.

Btw, I read LG can't encode DTS audio due o license or something. Anyway, watching TV programmes especially on Astro beyond or so does not encode DTS audio or Dolby 5.1. I would suggest watching over from bluray player should link to Good AV system. It's fine for us regular viewers to watch only TV programmes. Same goes to other current flat slim TV.


I do admit I'm no tech savvy neither a Hifi enthusiast as I'm just regular viewer. But I definitely watch all my collection of imported BD or DVDs via players with AV audio system to enjoy fullest. Only TV programs through simple TV stereo speakers. So I did not test if it's great with other digital audio encode.
It's good to watch on ORIGinal bluray disc & not steal or download from other unknown source.

Added on September 10, 2012, 2:05 amWow that's good news...where u got the price? If its from the chain outlet like SengQ, Harvey Norman etc, don't bother. As their price is always higher , follows the recommended retail price. Unless u were talking about old models? Do quote the lowest price u obtain for us members to share.

No MIB3 look like a eastern indian origin. Languages are all baltic countries and suprisingly full indian languages aka tamil,hindi, telegu etc.

Another Malaysian cynic who is patting his back. Some reality check.

Its good to watched APPROVED blu-rays with a hologram by the local distributor studio and film censorship board and pay the government and the studios who bought the rights for distribution.

Think ure missing the whole picture even when i mentioned to u step by step or u just dont understand what i wrote. LG had a issue on PCM stereo which is what AAC-LC is on its stock speakers.

I just check out price for a member here for 42LM6700 and price gone down to RM3,100. Anyone got better?

47LM6700 drop about RM200 to now About RM 4,400 or less. Other than LM series also drop but around RM300 or so.

Update of price,anyone?C'mon, do share out with fellow friends. I see some been stingy.


Oh..ya. Someone gt from SS2 for only RM3,000 or 42LM6700.

This post has been edited by Xstan: Sep 12 2012, 01:47 AM

Bro mind telling SS2 which shop? Credit card accepted?
free hdmi cable and how many 3d glasses? Warranty how long?

do u recommend LG 7520 home theater?
Can i buy only this system but bluray player use sony 485?
many thanks...

Here fellow member sharing the price with you guys. Could get him to help to get best price @ SS2.

U can get 47LM6700 for RM4400 in TBM in Old Klang Road with 9 Glasses + Transportation

LM6700 comes with 4 glasses already inside and they give u a party pack combo for another 5.

Advice to use TBM as they really go the extra mile with installation and equip with many additional stuff for wiring etc.

Cons they only offer very cheap prices on nego and cash upfront basis and they have stock for all models.

For 55LM7600cheapest is still Kajang Toon King.
