Bought it off of futureshop (canada) during their boxing day sale (online only deal) and arrived today and had whole day to play with the TV and I gotta say, I thought it be nice to have a huge TV this size but damn... the thing looks obnoxious in my living room.. I look like an ass with this tv. It's really big for my living room.. haha but I couldn't take my eye balls off of it so that's a good start.

You always read about the bad and I've been reading alot of complaints on LG LCD TV (xxlm7600 owners thread on the other link) but I checked it this evening and barey see any light leakage on the edges so it passed that test.

Straight outta box, I gotta say the picture look like crap.. I have my computer monitors calibrated for accurate colour for my work so I have bit of insight if I might say so myself.. but I'm no expert when it comes to calibrating TV screen so been tinkering with it all day and I think what I got now is okaaay.. probably will search online for calibration guide.

While I was tinkering with the colour set up, I had to use the magic remote the whole time and it's actually pretty good. I have Nintento Wii so maybe it helped with the learning curve if there was any but I like the remote. Maybe some buttons could've been placed better but it's definitely easy to use.

Lotta apps.. Netflix wasn't so bad but youtube was really slow for some reason. Tons of apps I don't care about but handy stuff like user manual is also there so that's great. Not much to say about these apps other than i'm not sure if I'll be using much of that in the future but nice to have none the less.. but if these apps are what makes this TV qualify as 'Smart TV', I think standards for 'smart' has gone down alot these days.

Sound. lotta complaining I read about bad sound quality.. but hey TV gets slimmer, quality of sound goes down. I have Home theatre set up so doesn't really concern me, although i'm still trying to figure out how to do that whole ARC thing from the TV to my receiver.

3D. I think there's some tweaking you can do to change some features on the 3D setting? haven't got that far but watched Avatar 3D and few 3D trailers off of one of the apps and it's not bad at all. I don't really have anything to compare with since it's my first 3D tv but I really like that it's passive 3D, felt comfortable, and seemed pretty good. I had to try a bit to get into it but can't complain much about it.

My only concern after all day to playing with the TV is that I'm still wondering if it's too big for my living room..... I always want to have a big screen but now that I actually have it, I think 55' would've been fine for my living room and saved few hundred bucks. I do hate myself for thinking this way though.

Anyways, that was my first impression for this TV.
