Features
While going through the list of features, I thought it would never end. It’s almost as if LG has emptied out their entire bag of goodies and generously applied the contents to this TV.

Apart from the ability to support 3D Blu-ray discs, the LX9500 series also supports other 3D standards such as the side-by-side and top-and-bottom formats used in PC and broadcast content. While Blu-ray discs are automatically detected, the latter two need to be selected manually through the menu. Although this TV doesn’t offer 2D-3D conversion for regular TV shows, LG's 400Hz TruMotion Plus engine helps make both 2D and 3D images smoother using scanning backlight and 200Hz frame interpolation.

A birds eye view


The LX9500 has a bunch of connections at the back. It has four 3D-ready HDMI 1.4, three component-video and analog PC ports. Of course, there are USB ports included, from which you can play back 1080p DivX HD as well as MKV files (yes, you read right!). They’ve also thrown in an Ethernet and Wi-Fi connection to get the TV hooked on to the internet, through which you can access a bunch of widgets and social networking sites. Oh, and they’ve also thrown in a wireless A/V link that connects an adapter to wirelessly transmit audio-video signals from a media hub add on – good for those who are finicky about cable clutter.

Plenty of connectivity options


The 3D glasses are powered ones, and they come in a standard size, which may be a problem if kids want to use them. However, they seemed to be quite comfy when I tried them on, and the rubber padding for the nose made sure that they didn’t slide off my nose like the cheap ones they give out at theaters. These glasses can be recharged through a computer or TV with the integrated mini USB port.

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.
