Review: LG 42LF75 42 Inch LCD

The LG 42LF75 42 inch LCD HDTV screen comes with stereo, 3D surround sound, high resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, and the ability to hook up your PC to it, you can enjoy even more with your LCD screen. This screen, moreover, is quite light compared with other flat panel televisions. The LG 42LF75 stands at 23.3 kilos, making it easier to mount on your wall. The display is also sharper: it has a contrast ratio of 10,000:1, and you can view your television and see the same colours and picture even at 178 degrees.

Not all reviews have been favourable for the LG 42LF75, however. Although reviewers find it to be great for its price, it can look like plastic and less professional or glossy up close. This complaint is common amongst LCD televisions that are priced cheaper than usual. Moreover, LCD screens have a slow response time, with this LG 42LF75 model having a 5 ms response time. A response time denotes how well a monitor can resolve movement. Most LCD screens are still weak in this respect, so that watching rapid movement on your screen can simply turn your screen into one big blur of colour. However, great strides have been made in LCD technology that will allow LCD screens to have better resolution as well as better response time.

An LCD, unlike a Plasma screen, will almost always be ready for a high definition revolution in broadcasting, so if you buy an LCD screen, you are ready for this transition. Still, you need to be aware that there are a few drawbacks when it comes to getting an LCD telly. For one, the contrast ratio is much smaller than it is with a Plasma television set. An LCD television set is also poor at rendering different shades of much deeper black. Moreover, although your LCD television is not as susceptible to burn in, your screen's individual pixels can burn out on their own. When this happens, you will see small specks on your screen – and when this happens, you need to replace your entire screen, since individual pixels cannot be replaced or repaired.

These are only a few aspects of LCD television that you should be aware of. For more information, keep on doing your research on-line, and keep yourself updated with the latest in television technology. As more and more research is being conducted, more and more improvements are being made, and you can expect great viewing in the years to come. In the meantime, talk to experts about what you can expect from your LCD television, and ask how you can get your needs to meet your budget. Although LCD television sets are comparatively more expensive, the price gap between them and Plasma is closing, so be on the lookout for bargains.
