  • The 42PC3D television by LG offers an amazing range of colors (more than one billion displayable hues), stunning HD sharpness and the attractive style of a plasma TV all in one package. There's no need to buy a separate high-definition receiver. The HD (ATSC) tuner is built-in, so all you have to do is plug and play to see high-def programming. HD picture resolution is 1024 x 768. LG's exclusive XD Engine upconverts lower resolution signals to near-HD quality and reduces signal noise, while the TV's 10,000:1 contrast ratio ensures that images are bright and brilliant, never dull or washed out.... The Clear Filter screen filter further enhances the contrast quality and provides a non-glare coating. The 30-watt, four-speaker system fills the room with dynamic sound, while SRS TruSurround produces crisp, realistic audio that puts the action right in your living room. The widescreen (16:9) aspect mode screen displays movies in their true cinematic format without picture cropping. Features HDMI, component video, composite video, S-video, RGB, digital audio out and RF connections.

User Reviews for
LG Electronics 42PC3D 42" Plasma TV

  • By tchmanz28   01/17/2007 Very Good
  • Pros:
    Price, overall performace, 2-year parts/labor warranty compared to the 1 yr on most all other plasmas
  • Cons:
    Potential for burn-in as with all plasmas, only one HDMI connection
  • Summary:
    Great value, got this for under a grand after taxes at CC. All the online reviews point to the latest 42" Panasonic HD Plasma as the best value/features, but if price matters then this baby is your TV. Great contrast ratio and looks, plus the screen is not thick glass prone to reflecting, but rather an acrylic type material that helps diffuse light. My only worries - only one HDMI input. This works fine now - Component XBOX 360, Component HD DVR, but what if I go to a cable/sat source that provides HDMI?.....Food for thought. Also, with a 2 yr warranty you can afford to bypass the expensive price protection at the store.
