Review of LG 50LA6970 Passive 3-D TV (Applies to similar LG LCD “Smart” Passive 3-D TVs) I have had this TV now for over 6 months.

As such, I can state with much delight that the parrot characters in the story are “spot on,” with some exaggeration you would expect for a cartoon, of course! One such exaggeration, the varied… [Continue Reading]
