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 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
