Well we are getting closer boys,.! this just in from the korean news desk
Is Samsung Laughing at LG Today as Their Korean Rivals Unveil a New High-End Passive 3DTV?

I've always wondered where the 400Hz number comes from, since the display obviously isn't running at that rate. Internal frame interpolation?Can someone please clarify why, for 3D, the TruMotion should be turned off? Am I correct that this would reduce its refresh rate from 400Hz down to, say, 50Hz? My other LG set (37LD490) is only 50Hz and I was hoping that I would be able to enjoy smooth motion with this new 980T because panning shots on the 490 are stuttery.

LG UK said:Hi Guys, not sure why 'expertreviews' put the S in there.... the UK model will 110% be a T (Freeview HD)
Hmmm thought that would have been set in stone by now Dave specially as you now have a 47inch 980t in your office?
Hope these aren't gonna go down the road of the LEX8?
Oh, Zomby, what "prior mistake" do you mean?
Nooooo! LOL - don't leave me out the loop! I want to be in line with the rest of you to evaluate and hopefully purchase a 980 before the wife realises what I've done ;-)
Hi Tony, I really didn't want to give the impression that I am only answering 'low lying fruit' I am answering what I have ACCESS to and allowed to respond to! With the greatest of respect to your 'lines' question we have certainly improved the visibility of them, however due to the nature of its subjectiveness and lack of a 550 next to it I, again, can't really make a solid comment.
In total honesty (for whatever reason) I never really even noticed the lines on the 550 and 650 until I got up (really) close anyway!? This is the same for the 980, for ME, I have to be much closer than I would view the TV at to see/notice/be bothered by the lines... Maybe my eyes aren't 'qualified' for 3DTV viewing!!! (or I just need to wear my glasses that are gathering dust perhaps....) I suffer from quite bad headaches with the Active shutter type glasses so virtually all of my 3D viewing has been on the passive system.
Again, i'd like to apologies that my enthusiasm isn't coming across well enough in my writing, I think if you worked with me in my office you'd soon get fed up with me banging on about how great I think Cinema 3D is for everyone!!!
On sale in October means not on sale in September plus with the wifes birthday and our 10th wedding anniversary in October its not the best time to be trying to justify a 2.5k TV purchase! Presumably that 'on sale in October' isn't referring to Europe either? I tell you, looking more like November to me everyday
As for the lines, they are going to be there, it is the FPR filter and unless LG have completely redesigned the filter and the tech for the 980T it will not have changed. Zomby obviously can see them but I don't know how because from 3 metres away you definitely should not be able to. I know I can't on the 550 and 650 from about 4 feet or more they disappear entirely and I have great eyesight and do not wear glasses. Had my eyes tested recently and was told I am in the top 2% in the country!

Zomby said:I know you guys are sick of hearing it but I am not the only one. Every single review I have read in the states says the same exact thing, with some being bothered more than others. Every sales rep at BestBuy collaborated as well and in all fairness I bought this set knowing it was an issue. The lines are less bothersome than flicker on active sets, I just don't want LG to think all of us are alright with it and attempt a fix. I realize it is inherent in the film itself but there has got to be a solution!? It is more pronounced on items such as raised lettering that pop out such as the Prince of Persia logo at the bottom of any loading screen. Things in the background with fine detail show them as well such as power lines, ropes, or other fine details. A perfect example are the eyelashes of characters in Killzone 3... Maybe a better way to describe them is to suggest having a closer look at the "jaggies." They are a direct result of the lines. Many people see jagged edges and that is basically the gap between the lines that causes them. Again, it all depends on the source (and individual) as to how bothersome or well defined they are. But I am far from being the only one that sees them. I believe (correct me if I am wrong) it was Crunchie that was bothered by them from a previous post. It is just something that I feel LG should be seriously working on. Also, you should be able to view any TV close up if you so desire without artifacts. As sick as they make me, active sets look crisp no matter how close you get to them and I find myself literally sitting back against the wall to minimize the effects... I have 3 meters between that point and the TV so I am well beyond the recommended viewing distance of "6ft" (approx 2 meters) as suggested on the display in-store. If there is any question to the validity of my claim, I would not keep on about it if it wasn't very bothersome and something that should be fixed or at least minimized in some way... After all, isn't technology supposed to continually improve and evolve? Oh well, I guess I will be waiting until next year to see what happens and this one will have to hold me over until then...
Is this the LW5 your talking about? Have you tested the 980 us version in store?
The official announcement was made by LG a couple of days ago and the 980T should be available in September or October...I too have been following this thread and patiently waiting for a release date. Now what is putting me off now, is as I understand this model was due to be released at the beginning of the year with Active Shutter 3D under the guise of the 950T correct? As I understand this model was pulled and re-engineered for Passive 3D and will become the 980T. So assuming an announcement is made in September, I believe it will be close to xmas before it is available to purchase. By that time assuming the only change is the Passive tech from the 950T the TV model will effectively be a year old. If I'm going with 55" + size panel, I want the latest and greatest for £2500+ (my guesstimate). Hope Nano LED fullfills the PQ promise.
