Description
Just over a grand for a 42-inch plasma? Bargain — especially when it’s stuffed full of high-class features like dual HDMI inputs, 10,000:1 contrast, reflection-reducing Clear Filter screen and picture-processing XD Engine. It outperforms some costlier rivals on picture quality, particularly with high-definition images
The 42PC1D might be a mid-priced hi-def plasma (available for a smidgeon over £1,000 if you’re willing to shop around), but LG has stuffed it full of some high-class features. The main point of interest is the freshly developed Clear Filter, which sees the heavy glass panel used by most plasmas replaced by a thin veneer of plastic. Equally important is LG’s own XD Engine picture-processing technology, now in its second generation.
