LG's 42PC55 offers you 42 inches of plasma loveliness and a glossy piano-black finish that will look stylish in any lounge. If you're on a budget and are after a large, affordable screen that will cope with hi-def, this is ideal

LG 42PC55

A glossy piano-black frame lends this TV a cool allure

Accepts 1080p feeds, Good hi-def performance , The price

Ropey Freeview performance , Mediocre audio , Disappointing black levels

Considering the low price tag, connectivity also impresses. There are two HDMI inputs for rigging up your hi-def AV kit, two Scarts, component video input, an RGB PC VGA input for using this screen as a computer monitor, and, tellingly, a CI slot

LG's latest 42in IDTV offering, the 42PC55, is the UK's cheapest big-brand plasma, a wallet-friendly ?'£900. Things got off to a good visual start, as the 42PC55's styling is suitably contemporary. The 42PC55's on-paper specification also appears...

LG 42PC55

LG is a brand desperate to improve its image. Having seen chief rival Samsung elevate itself to premium status through consistently good design and adventurous technology, it clearly thinks a copycat strategy will pay dividends

Attractive price, Good looking, Good connections

Awful presets, Standard-def images fail to impress, Average audio

Its the cheapest brand name 42-inch plasma out there, but you'll need to invest in pricey HD sources to get the best from it

The LG 42PC55 is a 42-inch plasma TV with 720p resolution and all the features you'd expect from a modern flat screen TV. Picture and sound quality are disappointing .

good image quality, motorized swivel stand, attractive design, sturdy construction, brilliant high-definition picture, Chocolate attractive design, good value for money, excellent picture quality for standard and high definition content , attractive desig...

moderate sound quality, poor connectivity, images in standard definition may look weak, occasional dropouts during dialogues, poor sound quality, annoying video connections, poor picture and sound quality

The price of the 42PC55 is acceptable, but believe neither in the performance of high-definition video, nor will be in DVB-T pictures .

While 1080p TVs becoming more popular and many buyers start demand for the latest technology, must be held at 720p screens falling prices. This is good news for those who demand a search for HD video, but ...

A 42-inch LG plasma for the price of a LCD TV in the same diagonal, but entry level. We want to believe, to think that we fell on the pearl. Indeed difficult not to expect to combine the best of the LCD - with the famous ...

hard indeed not to expect to combine the best of the LCD - with the famous XD Engine III, this LG great success - with the advantages of plasma, as are its responsiveness, its black level very low with this contrast ...
