Until recently, the two biggest knocks against 3D HDTVs have been high prices and cumbersome (and expensive) 3D glasses. The LG Infinia 47LW5600 ($1,699.99 list) addresses both of these issues with great success, and throws in a handful of other neat features as well. This 47-inch LED-backlit set employs passive 3D technology to deliver outstanding 3D imagery with the use of lightweight, inexpensive glasses that can be worn comfortably for hours. But that's only part of the story: inky blacks, excellent color quality, low power usage, and a robust feature set all help to make the 47LW5600 our latest Editors' Choice 3D TV.

Design
LG HDTVs have always been high on style and the 47LW5600 follows the trend. The 47-inch, 120Hz panel is housed in a sleek 1.2-inch cabinet with moderately thin (1.2-inch) black bezels framing the top and sides and a slightly wider (2-inch) bezel at the bottom. This model doesn't offer the seamless glass design used on last year's 47LX9500, but it's still a nice-looking set. The requisite LG logo is positioned at the center of the lower bezel, with a set of touch-sensitive buttons, including Volume and Channel controls, Enter, Home, and Input buttons, and a power switch, sitting just to its right. The Home button takes you into the menu system where you can tweak settings, launch Web apps, and set parental controls. The 40-pound cabinet is adequately supported by a glossy black rectangular stand with a free-moving swivel mechanism.
