    With a sleek, glossy black piano finish, Zenith's 42" is Superb! March 25, 2010
    By bassgoddess of Macon, GA
    Pros:
    Simply an Awesome tv with a great price!,Very sleek and glossy, looks great!

    I purchased this Zenith(LG) 42" plasma tv model(Z42PQ20) from Sears.com after seeing it @ my local Sears store in Jan. 2010.    I have had it for a couple of months now & my family and I love it!  The picture quality is exceptional with brilliant colors.  The sleek, glossy black, piano finish is quite beautiful & pleasing to the eyes even if the tv is off.  Before purchasing it, I logged onto Sears.com to research the specs and product overview & found that Sears had extensive detailed information & the best price.  This was very instrumental in my decision making process.  I also purchased the 3 year in-home product extended warranty for added protection.  The convenience of my being able to order online @ Sears.com & pick up my order at my local Sears store was an added bonus for me & my family.

    Great TV with Terrific Value March 11, 2010
    By geosan4 of Santa Monica, CA
    Pros:
    Great quality TV for the price,Great picture,great value for the $,Swivel Base for TV,Very sleek and glossy, looks great!
    Cons:
    Not free

    I had it for less than a month and it was great.  The picture was stunning and beats any LCD out there.  Movies looked amazing with no ghosting and my Xbox 360 had no visible lag.  Unfortunately, it was stolen along with other electronics I had.  It seems someone else thought it looked amazing too.  It sucks because I just bought it.

    The picture is unbelievable March 09, 2010
    By pickemwise of Kansas City, MO
    Pros:
    Very sleek and glossy, looks great!

    We purchased this television then it was on sell, and are totally satisfied.  You'll be hard pressed to find a new  42" plasma for $400.00 anywhere.  Wish it had more output jacks, but overall it's a deal breaker.

    HD picture is excellent, SD is good. March 07, 2010
    By bossies1 of Ben Lomond, CA
    Pros:
    Great quality TV for the price
    Cons:
    Only one AV jack and no SD card slot

    As others have said, the Zenith is really an LG Plasma. Maybe not quite as nice as the Samsung or Panasonic, but a lot less money ($415 after Bing savings). I used a DVD calibration disk - Digital Video Essentials, which made a huge difference in the picture. The sound is very good with HD programs, but we use our 5.1 stereo set up for most shows. Glare is not a problem in our living room, and the off axis viewing is amazing. The stand seems hardy enough, and I used two cables to attach the TV to the entertainment cabinet. We watched the Winter Olympics, and were amazed at the highlight / shadow detail, as well as the smoothness of action. No problems at all with burn in, just use common sense for the 1st 100 hours. Only con is that SD picture is only okay - not as good as our old 32" CRT. Great TV!
