A good but not great set
By jivetrain
LG's lower-mid level sets have earned a reputation for having low gaming lag, great color accuracy, and the most extensive features and picture options of any sets at or even above their price level. The CS560 series still delivers in these regards, but to a lesser extent than earlier models.
The styling and build quality of the TV are very good overall. My panel is an S-IPS type and most owners on forums have confirmed the same, suggesting that LG may not be conducting a panel lottery (randomly shipping VA and IPS panels for the same model) this year. The buttons are all touch sensitive, which is a nice feature but makes them hard to find in the dark. One complaint to make about the set is that it buzzes faintly unless the backlight is set to 100, which can be a little annoying when using the set quietly at night.
The input lag at 1080p seems to average around 1-2 frames, keeping with LG's standard for fast processing time. There is hardly any noticeable increase in lag when upscaling from 480p and I can play timing intensive games and online FPS with no problem. If you're buying this set for gaming, you'll probably be pleased with the lag performance.
The color accuracy also seems to live up to LG's usual standards, although it's hard to know precisely how well without measuring with a meter. Every color is vivid and deep without appearing over saturated. The black levels are average at best, but the unbelievably bright white levels help to offset them and create good contrast during bright scenes. The overall picture is extremely clear, vivid and detailed.
The motion handling is mostly excellent with no visible streaking and very light blur on moving objects in the background. There is, unfortunately, a problem with juddering during camera pans with certain video sources, most notably 24p. Past LG sets were able to handle 24p content smoothly, even models at much lower price points, so this obviously comes as a disappointment. If you intend to use the set mainly for watching blu-ray movies then you may want to buy last year's LK450 instead.
The feature set is another startling disappointment. The TV only has 4 inputs- 2 HDMI, 1 RF, and 1 component input- and no VGA or audio outputs whatsoever. The component input functions as a joint composite input, meaning that you can't use both cable types at the same time. Users who have a lot of different sources will find themselves having to use adapters or receivers to handle most of their connections.
Some of the advanced picture options have also been cut. There is no longer a color filter option available, which means that color and tint calibration now require a pair of blue glasses to set. The 10-point IRE calibration has also been removed, leaving only the option for 2-point. The picture wizard seems to have defective patterns for brightness and contrast, giving you white and black levels that are wildly off target when compared to any other test pattern (fortunately, the picture wizard's color and tint patterns still seem to work accurately).
Several other small features from the expert menu such as "eye care" and the like have also been omitted, giving the CS560 the most limited menu of any LG I've seen. However, the CS560 still has a much fuller range of adjustments than most televisions in its class.
My own opinion of the 560 is that it's an excellent looking TV but one that grinds right along the border of "minimal" and "cheap". The set has been scaled back significantly compared to past models in response to the advance of LED, which seems poised to become the default backlight technology of LG's TV lineup. If you have simple tastes and just want a good looking set for gaming and occasional movie watching, the 560 is a great value and will perform well enough. If you're a more serious film enthusiast with a large blu-ray collection, then you may want to seek out an LK450 or choose a different brand to avoid the judder and limited inputs.
