Typical price: £720
What is it: Budget 42-inch, HD Ready LCD television
What we think: High-definition and upscaled video looks good, but we weren't impressed with the shallow viewing angle or patchy backlight

We like:
HD picture quality; clear sound on Freeview
We don't like:
Freeview picture looks a little nasty at times; motion blur
You might also need:
HDMI cable; HD DVD or Blu-ray; upscaling DVD player
CNET UK judgement:
Although the LT-42DA8BJ is sensibly priced, we weren't overly impressed with the standard-definition picture. That said, you won't find many better 42-inch televisions at this price point

If you want to throw off the oppressive shackles of a totalitarian sci-fi government, don't buy this TV. If you want a sensibly priced high-definition telly though, this is right up your street
