Although CNET did not review the 42-inch LG 42PC5D, we did review the 50-inch LG 50PC5D. Judging from their spec sheets, the two LG flat-panel plasma HDTVs are identical but for screen size and native resolution, so we expect the picture quality of the 50-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 42-incher will perform. For more information, check out the full review of the LG 50PC5D.
Description:
The LG 42PC5D is a 42-inch, plasma television.
Compared to other plasma TVs on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $830.
In general, a liquid plasma display can provide more realistic black-levels than an LCD display can.
Pros:
This TV can display images that are sharper and more realistic than regular television when connected to a high definition signal.
The 3:2 pulldown feature of this unit reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.
Cons:
None noted, given available product data.
Suitability:
A plasma TV, suited for home entertainment.
Value:
In view of its very inexpensive price, this TV has great features for the money.
