    Good deal. November 14, 2009
    By MelissaArciniega of Franklin Park, IL
    Pros:
    Excellent value,Colors,Excellent audio

    This is a great deal! Holy moly my poor mother paid like 1600 for a 42" plasma not HD tv no theater system no stand nothing like it is advertised here. Worst thing is that its not like it was 3 years ago she purchased it, it was like 2 weeks ago i dont know how someone could just rip her off like that and take advantage of her im going to have to call him now! Ugh

    Best deal I found October 20, 2009
    By perfectionist of Florence, KY
    Pros:
    good value,good sound,Colors,energy saving feature
    Cons:
    screen reflection,awkward remote

    This set has all the features most people would need and then some. I purchased on sale at $625.00 less a 10% coupon code discount which sears offered on line. Also received a $50.00 dollar gas card from LG. Picture color and sound are very good. Not real happy with the remote, it's short and a little awkward using one hand reaching the lower functions. I looked at both plasma and LCD. After lots of info from this site and others, plasma won. There is one down fall with plasma (screen reflection) which I hate after the fact. Knew about it but, at the time was not really concerned. So, if you have any light reflection in the room you would be better off with LCD or Panasonic's plasma which does have anti-reflective screen.

    Very good picture, high quality item, and a very very good price September 27, 2009
    By JoSCh of Mount Pleasant, SC
    Pros:
    Excellent value,Above average picture
    Cons:
    Havent found one yet.,Heavy compared to LCD

    Very good tv, particularly for the sale price around $675.00.  Much better picture than my old rear proj 1080i hdtv.  I really like the plasma and the way it renders blacks.  Sound is adequate for a bedroom or other smallish room, and if you want theatre sound, hook up surround components.  I'd recommend to anyone looking for a 42 inch tv.
