LG 42PC1DA

The LG 42-PC1DA plasma television from LG Electronics has a display size that measures 42 inches (106.7 cm) diagonally and comes with cutting edge features such as the company's exclusive 2006 XD Engine, two HDMI inputs, and TV Guide On Screen.  It's digital cable-ready with the included CableCARD or a cable tuner that allows the user to receive digital cable programs, including high-definition content, without having to install an additional cable box.

The proprietary XD Engine upgrades low analog signals to HD-like levels.  Better picture quality, signal noise reduction, truer colors, and improved contrast and brightness are achieved through six distinct processes.  In addition, a thin film filter on the plasma panel minimizes glare and reflection, which enables a clear viewing experience in brightly-lit rooms.  It also comes with Image Sticking Minimization technology to prevent the problem of burn-in or image retention.

A cinema-like experience is further ensured by this LG plasma screen's sound system.  The speakers provide ultra-clear audio and realistic sound effects through the SRS TruSurround surround sound system.  Special features include picture-in-picture (PIP), PIP Exchange, PIP Move, and split screen mode.  The generous number of input and output connections, as well as functions such as EZ Menus and EZ Scan round of all the benefits that one can realize from choosing the LG-42PC1DA plasma TV.
