Best product using since last 6 years it is working perfectly ok.. refresh rate is very fast hence not required digital connection till last years. Now they changed it to digital it is still best performance.

I have owned this TV for almost 4 years and have enjoyed it. Recently starting to have an issue with the TV shutting itself off for no reason then I have to unplug it to get it to reset. Might have to replace it with a 4k LG.

After auditioning 2 different LED sets in my home, I chose to go with a plasma display. It is unfortunate that these are no longer being manufactured, but I'm fortunate to have been able to purchase a plasma TV before the stock was completely depleted. There is no motion blur with this plasma TV and the colors are accurate. I would have preferred to have more HDMI inputs on this TV, but I made up for it by connecting the TV to an AVR. I really don't like the fact that this TV only has a digital audio output. Analogue outputs are much more useful, as they can be used with headphones, a legacy audio system, or even the latest and greatest AVR. The digital audio out leaves a noticeable gap between the dialogue from an OTA and the dialogue being output to whatever device is connected via the digital optical audio output. That is my main gripe with this TV. The picture quality is very good for a "bargain" priced TV. The audio quality is ok. I like the built in swivel stand / base. This is a very good looking TV. The menu system is a little basic, but it is easy to follow. This tTV allows the user to get into some very technical picture quality settings, and I really appreciate that this feature is available on this TV. This is , perhaps, one of the most important features to include in a TV set and LG got this part right. I would definitely recommend this TV to a friend.

I cannot tell you how much we are enjoying our plasma TV!!! Even our kitten enjoys watching it. It is so easy to program and use. The picture is so crisp and the sound is far superior to other tv's I've had. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an affordable, top notch TV. Keep up the good work!!!! Oh and the online support and tips are a fantastic added bonus.

This is our first HD-TV and it has performed to all of our expectations. The size is perfect for our Family Room; not too big, not too small. And, we have a great view of it from our Breakfast Nook. LG has been great. Our first one had a receiver problem but it was replaced without any hassle by HH Gregg under the extended warranty we purchased.

I surprised my sister by ordering this tv to replace a console set from 1986! At first she was cool to the idea of new technology, but after seeing the picture and hearing the sound we tossed the console away! She now has a great viewing experiance every night of the week. Thanks LG!!!

This is my first plasma TV and an upgrade from an older LCD that stopped working. Easy setup, still need to adjust some of the settings but the picture is great so far. Decent sound even without external speakers. Excellent overall value for what it is - highly recommend LG products!

I bought this product to replace a much smaller TV that had died on me. Once I set it up and turned on the TV, I was hooked on the incredible picture. After making a few adjustments to the settings, I had the picture that suited my tastes exactly. Very easy to use and mounting it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. It is heavier than a comparable sized LCD/LED TV so you may want to get some help lifting it. I would recommend this TV to everyone!

This LG plasma is my first HD TV and I couldn't be more delighted with the fantastic picture, great sound and ease of setting it up and selecting the choices of pictures and sound. It is a tremendous value and am so glad I made this purchase. Instead of just watching movies and games I feel like I'm right there. AWESOME.

I bought this 42 LG to see if I liked plasma before spending a lot on a bigger TV. It worked great, very satisfied with it, so I upgraded to a 60 LG, putting this TV in a guest bedroom. It's the perfect size for a smaller room (13x13)

I have had this TV just over 12 months. This week it went crazy. When you push the input button on remote it shut itself off, when you touch the mute button or the vol on the cable remote it shuts itself off, it stays off for 4 to 5 minutes then comes back on and the mentioned buttons work correctly for about 10 minutes. There may be other buttons that shut it off and I have just not run across them. I expected better from this TV than to go bad two weeks after the warranty ran out. Consumer reports had listed it as excellent. I probably won't buy LG brand again after this

I got this TV for my bedroom only because I had bought a larger one for my living room first, also an LG. The LG was really easy to set up and their support was easier to deal with then some of the other manufacturers.

Could not be more pleased, love the screen size, my first 42inch plasma TV. The clarity and color out of sight, I actually went into the dealers store for a specific LG 42inch in mind, but, they were out of stock in that model. I was then offered this model at the same price and made an instant decision to buy...really excited to get home and found how easy the set up was, excellent instructions. I absolutely LOVE my LG, and also have a 32inch LG, which I use as monitor for my computer. I'm one HAPPY old senior, relaxed and enjoying both !! Yay.....

We replaced an older 50 inch LG Plasma tv that could be used as a space heater in a small room with a 42 inch LG plasma that runs much cooler and costs a lot less to run. We chose plasma because of the high refresh rate and good viewing angle. My eyes are more sensitive to motion blur at lower refresh rates. The 42 inch doesn't show the finer detail that the 50 inch did but is still excellent. Receiver sensitivity is excellent which we needed because we use an outside antenna. Sound is good but would be better with a sound bar. Would like to be able to fine tune a little better for a more crisp picture. Some people like the smooth look but I like detail. Detail in this tv is good but a little more ability for user tweaking (fine tuning)would be nice. Inputs are enough for us but evaluate your needs before buying. If you have the money (we didn't) go for the 50 inch. We are satisfied with and would recommend this tv.

Surprised by the ease of set-up, perfect size and clarity. Very pleased with the remarkable, realistic colors and the picture seems to transport you into the scenery on the nature shows.

although the picture quality is great i don't care for the amount of heat generated by the unit. LCD units are much more efficient.

We love this Plasma TV. We needed a new TV in the basement and because it is dark down there we have no issue with any reflection. The 20 degree pan on the stand works awesome. Features are great. It practically set itself up

Our house burned down in 2007. Had to replace everything. Bought 3 LG TV's. 52", 32" & 26". All have the best picture quality I have ever seen. My 32' went out on me just this last month. Thought about going with a different brand, but couldn't find one with picture quality like the LG. So I just purchased a new 42" LG. Kinda tells you something. Love my LG TV's.

We wanted a TV we could view from the side, with a high refresh rate, was good in bright light, and that would fit it in our 42" wide TV cabinet. This TV was the only TV on the market I could find to meet those criteria, and I am really glad I found it. I wish it was 1080p, but you can't really tell the difference unless you're 3 feet away. Its easy to set up, and I get internet TV by hooking it through HDMI to my internet enabled Blu-Ray. All in all, a great value.

For the price, you cannot go wrong with this plasma. We have it in our bedroom and it's perfect. Glare is not an issue. Superb picture! What we also like is that it has above aveveage sound that is quite customizable. Highly recommend !!

This is a really nice plasma. Being a Panasonic plasma fanboy, that's saying something. Using in a 17 x 15 master bedroom. Mounted on wall with a 8 degree tilt. Tweaked picture settings as shown below: Contrast: 75 Backlight: 70 Brightness: 46 gamma: 2.4 Dynamic Contrast: Off - low is good too Noise Reduction: Off Gamma: High Black Level: Low Color Gamut: wide Edge Enhancement: Off Color Temp: Medium I find it looks amazing. I have 150 hours on the set so far. Highly recommend. Kudo's to Adoramra for packing the TV inside a bigger box. Some just ship with factory box. There was a huge hole in the outer box, but all was good. Adorama is great, and the packaging, shipping, and experience was first class. Buy this TV...from Adorama!

Great TV at a Great Price
By Mike000
Not sure why this is priced so low, because it's value far exceeds the amount I spent. The biggest drawback is that I can't leave the couch now! Great blacks and colors, very easy to set up, and auto-offs so no image burn. The only issue I have with it is the lack of audio-out options. The only sound system you can hook up is a optical-out system.
Superb design and features
