The LA7400 line is an LED Edge-Lit LCD available in three sizes: 47-, 55-, and 60-inches. It comes dressed in a thin silver bezel and is a scant 1.36” deep. The screen has a glossy finish with a film-type patterned retarder (FPR) on it. This FPR allows the LA7400 to do passive 3D with simple polarized glasses instead of the more common active 3D with powered glasses.
You’ll also find LG’s Smart TV apps selection, 240 Hz TruMotion technology (LGs term for a 120 Hz panel with a pulsing backlight), as well as the ability to do separate views for two-person gaming with optional special glasses. One big difference with the LG, compared to most TVs, is the included Magic Remote. It uses gyroscopes like a Wii controller, allowing for point-and-click navigation. A built-in mic adds voice control to the mix.
The Magic Remote can be programmed easily to control your other devices too. An automated system helps you choose the correct device type and manufacturer, then tests to make sure it all works. However, using the Magic Remote I found myself wishing a regular remote had been included as well. The universal functionality is well done but hard buttons are easier to find/use in the dark.
