You can also view a number of news channels apps, as well as a few social networking apps like Facebook, Twitter etc. LG’s Magic Motion Remote Control can also be used with this Cinema 3D TV. You can also browse the Internet and play a few simple games like Spot The Difference (not the best game), Sudoku, and a few others. The LG 42LW5700 has a smart TV function, which allows you to browse through the several apps on the Home screen. This saves a lot of money, which would otherwise be spent in purchasing expensive 3D movies. We also tried watching a few HD Blu-ray movies and the picture quality was really good. The TV is 3D capable, and does allow 2D to 3D conversion, which was really quick and smooth. Apart from that the TV really impresses in terms of design. Overall, the LG 42LW5700 design was really impressive like we had mentioned earlier, however like the LG LW6500, there were some backlighting issues on the left and right edges of the screen. The glasses are light-weight and very comfortable. These glasses are passive, which means there is no need for any power. Apart from these features, the 42LW5700 is equipped with 3D glasses. The buttons though, are tough and not as responsive as we’d like them to be. The remote control is made of hard plastic and looks really sleek with coloured ones for different features like Power, Home and energy-saving, while the rest are grey. It also does not have a full 360 degree rotation, which came as a real disappointment to us. Though it weighs in at 15.7 kg it is not very sturdy and tends to wobble if not placed properly. The 42LW5700 can be wall mounted, as well as set up on the bundled stand that has a glossy black finish and a futuristic look to it. The other ports, which include headphone out, digital audio out, RGB in, antenna in, AV in and a PC audio input are placed at the back of the TV. There are four HDMI and two USB ports, on the side of the TV. Like other Cinema 3D TVs in its line, the 42LW5700, too has back-lighting. The 42LW5700 has a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080p, is 106cms in length and 29.9mm in width.

All the buttons are placed at the back of the TV, which adds to its sleek and stylish look. The TV has a glossy black finish and a thin clear plastic bezel along the sides. The 42LW5700 is pretty attractive and looks classy. There are no drawbacks in the design department. In this review, we wanted to see if the 42LW5700 was as good as its predecessor. At first, the only difference seemed that it was a much smaller version of LW6500 as this one too, not only supports 3D compatibilities, but also Smart TV functions. Close on the heels of LG 47LW6500, LG introduced their all new sleek 42LW5700 3D TV. LG, one of the biggest brands in the flat panel TV market has recently launched their Cinema 3D line of TVs.
