CNET Editors' take - LG 42PC5D
Hide

Reviewed by CNET staff
Review date: 10/31/07

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.

Product brief - LG 42PC5D
Hide

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.

Suggestions: (1) For assistance in shopping for a new HDTV, review CNET editors' <ref type="link" url="http://cnet.com/hdtv-world/?tag=arw">Ultimate HDTV Buying Guide. </ref> (2) If donating or repurposing your old TV is not a viable option, CNET encourages households to recycle their electronics. Please explore the following website to find a recycling center in your area Electronics Take Back Coalition .
