Typical price: £830
What is it: 42-inch LCD TV with Freeview Playback functionality
What we think: The addition of Freeview Playback has made an already good TV into an excellent one

We like:
Freeview Playback functionality works well; great operating system; price, picture quality
We don't like:
Signal weakens en route to the second digital tuner; picture deteriorates if watched from much of an angle
CNET UK judgement:
It turns out that Freeview Playback is a really substantial addition to the terrestrial digital tuner proposition, so much so that it almost elevates the 42LT75 to somewhere around the top of any Freeview TV audition list. It also produces LG's finest LCD pictures to date

Best large-screen TVs under £800
We compare four of the best TVs on the market for around the £800 mark -- the stylish and well-specified Toshiba Regza 37XV505D, Samsung's sturdy LE40M87, the LG 42LT75 with its built-in PVR, and Panasonic's high-performance, 42-inch Viera TH-42PX80B

Good TV, but, with a price tag similar to that of a second-hand car, not one for Joe and Jane Public
