LG 42PQ6000 review

In this review

Despite the hidden speakers, the sound from this TV is excellent. Although we wouldn't want to listen to a movie using them, they're fine for normal TV viewing. They're also very loud, so, if you're hearing isn't great, you won't struggle to hear this TV when the volume's cranked up.

Conclusion
Is the LG 42PQ6000 perfect? No, but it's one hell of a screen for a reasonable price. If the set were 1080p, it'd be an absolute corker -- while 720p TVs are still very decent, we don't think this TV gets the absolute best out of HD material. That said, the set's performance is excellent, overall.

Competition comes in the form of Panasonic's 720p plasma TVs, but they tend to be slightly more expensive. They also don't have the same beautiful menu system as the 42PQ6000, and are generally more basic in terms of features.

Good: It a fairly good TV at a reasonable price.

Bad: Plasma are subject to "burn in" when compared to the LCD.

Comment: It offers big screen at a reasonable price with good HD picture performance. However, still lost the LCD TVs. Plasma are more likely to have glare when the sunlight hits the screen, and it subject to "burn in" when viewing still images. For information on what is the best HD TV to get this year, I recommend you to check out http://best-price-lcd-tv.blogspot.com
