What reviewers say

AVForums and What Hi-Fi? both praised the 42-inch LM660T's passive 3D, detail and accessible controls. Both found its black levels underwhelming. AVForums found excellent factory colour accuracy but visible motion issues with some 50 Hz and 24p material; What Hi-Fi? found the colours less rich than rival sets.
