The LG 55LX9500 is a beast; and an absolutely magnificent, beautiful one at that. Slick looks, powerful performance and a highly promising viewing experience make LG’s flagship model a must have for all those who want bigger, better and thinner. Of course, happiness comes at a cost, and the price tag wrapped around this baby will give you the heebie-jeebies if you’ve got a bank balance like mine. Stick around and read some more if you want to find out if this baby can put its money where its mouth is.

The beautiful beast


Design
It took two people to lift this TV out of its box – it really is that huge. And it's also super thin, so we had to be really careful while setting it up. But once it was placed on our A/V room’s table, we had to take a step back to admire it.

The first thing I noticed was how thin the bezel was (16mm), and then I checked out the depth, and that was even more amazing (2.3mm to 31.6mm). The border is piano black in colour, which also means that it attracts fingerprints like the paparazzi to a celeb. A couple of other things I noticed which added to the aesthetic value of this TV were the company logo, which was lit, and the swivel glass stand with a metal shaft which make it feel safe and sturdy – no wobbling around with this one.

Super slim design


The remote is equally nice looking and has buttons that are large, rubberized and back lit (separate button for this function) so just about anyone can operate it. The remote also sits comfortably in one’s hand and the volume and channel buttons have a different hump-shaped design so that they’re singled out. Another good thing about this remote is that it has plenty of shortcuts to commonly used features such as 3D, A/V mode and energy saving.

How We Test

The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There’s a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.

Verdict
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.


Features
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they’re buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.

Performance
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.

Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn’t fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.

Value
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category. 

There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.

What do the ratings mean?

Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
