3D TVs are the latest hot advancement in television technology, and every manufacturer seems to be offering some version of this technology today. The LG 55LX9500 3D HDTV is LG's current entry in the 3D television market. How does it compare to the competition? Well, let's see.

I'll start with the basics. How does the LG 55LX9500 3D HDTV stand up as a normal television? It does very well, actually. The 55" size is more than enough for movies, sports, or games, and its wireless 1080p capabilities allow for HDMI quality picture without having a bunch of annoying cables sticking out of the back. The 2D picture quality is very good, with some putting it among the top ten 2D TVs of the year.

What about the LG 55LX9500's 3D capabilities? Reception has been a little more mixed here. Some owners absolutely love the 3D effects, saying it's easily movie quality. Others claim they can't even see the 3D effects. Do keep in mind that to fully experience the 3D capabilities of the LG 55LX9500 3D HDTV, you'll need a Blu-ray 3D player or other 3D system to watch movies in 3D, and with this TV you will have to wear 3D glasses.

One thing that's always an issue with this kind of television is the set up process. How difficult is the LG 55LX9500 3D HDTV to set up? The wireless 1080p capabilities make the physical setup very easy. The picture is very good right out of the box, but it does take some calibration to get the best picture possible. Most owners report that the calibration process is not too difficult, but some do complain that it does take a certain amount of time to perform. In the end, it's not very difficult, but it is a little time-consuming.

Overall, the LG 55LX9500 3D HDTV is worth getting, especially given some of the great deals available these days. The ordinary picture quality alone makes it a great HD television, and the 3D capabilities and simple setup process are nice bonuses.
