LG - 42LC7D Television —
This is a well manufactured 42" LCD flat screen. Came in the box all set up and ready to go. Only one F connector cable included so if you need HDMI, DVI, composite or component plan on getting them seperate. Let's start with the price. It's about $1300 MSRP. Anything under $ 1000 is a good deal. Remember tax may be added and that can add a chunk of change to the price. If you order it on-line you may avoid the tax but probably will pay shipping. Personally i don't like the shipping monkeys tossing around my 50 pound 42" plastic LCD so i tend to buy locally, so if there is a problem i can return it with no problems. Ok, now the quality!!! It's black shiny plastic which seems pretty durable.Comes with a special antistatic cleaning cloth to keep it shiny. Base doesn't swivel. Side and rear connections and buttons are good quality but connections in rear come straight out so could be a problem with some wall mounts. Universal remote control is pretty good. Good button layout and actually controls all my other components even my digital cable box. The picture is great. Very bright and looks fine in a brightly lighted room during the day with tons of sunlight. There are several presettings for the picture and most work amazingly well. There are also 2 user picture settings which give you a multitude of custom options. You can play with them for weeks to get that "just how i like it picture". Now remember this is a720 LCD not 1080. I just can't seem to justify getting a 1080 in this 42" size if I'm going to sit 10 feet away from it. If your going to put your nose to the screen, yea then you will see a difference but at about 5 feet on out you can't tell the difference and it really isn't worth the extra $300 - $800 dollars for 1080. If your going above this 42" size then i would suggest a 1080 as there will be a difference but not all that great. Inputs on the LCD are pretty good. For analog signals you get f connector; composite; component and a VGA for your computer to hook up to. For digital inputs there are 2 HDMI with one geared toward DVI-D so you can also hook up your computer that has DVI-D output. All in all I was well pleased with the purchase.Last edited on Feb 13, 2008
