 scrimlo's recommendation | |
I picked it up for under £1400, which is a bargain. Good connectivity.
It suffers with dark images, and also face close-ups, of which colour banding is most obvious. Sound is slightly out of synch with image.
The LG RZ-42PX11 is a good looking, budget priced 42" TV is something not to be sniffed at, but you have got to bare in mind the long term consequences of its negative points.
I am struggling with coming to terms with the colour banding, which seem to occur on low quality images, dark images and colour gradients on smooth objects, such as a close-up shot of a face. I often play with the colour/contrast/brightness settings, and can sometimes eliminate these problems partially, but they are never completely solved.
On the positive side, it is a HUGE TV, and as I had used a 24" CRT for 7 years, it really does make a difference. I have re-arranged my lounge, and sit as far away from the TV as possible, like a cinema at home (minus the uncomfortable chairs and the 7 foot tall man that insists on sitting in front of you!!)
The speakers aren't great, but I do use a 5.1 surround sound setup, which tends to piddle on most TV's own speakers.
All in all, I would urge you to view this model of plasma screen in shops before you commit, and maybe take your dvd/games console in store, and check out how the screen displays actual images you would watch at home.
