GREAT VALUE IN A FLAT PANEL

Review Date: April 16, 2009

Just replaced my 2 year old Panasonic Plasma with the 42pq30 from LG. The LG delivers a fantastic picture, the 600 mhz fluid motion effect works beautifully for sports and action movies. The ultra high contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1 really brings out the dark backgrounds when fitting. Oddly enough it performed especially well while I was watching Charlie Rose. That black back-drop he uses really creates a personal proximity between him and his guests. The classic mahogany table is equally appealing on the set creating the ultimate prop for shared space and time.
I would highly recommend this TV for anyone not looking to spend a fortune on a good quality flat panel television.

Very Happy with purchase!

I waited for over a month before leaving a review, I'm still happy with product. Color is great, movement flow is great. Love how it recognizes different products when plugged into it. I bought it so I could watch the border collie trials in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales that I normally play on my computer. The trials look beautiful on this lg plasma screen. Sound and video worked flawlessly hooked up by one hdmi cable. Maybe 1080p would be better but not hundreds of dollars better, at least not to me. I took it off the energy saving mode that it is set to by default and image quality is vastly improved. I still have not played around with the usb features but I am glad that the feature is there. I hope the reliability factor is there but only time will tell. Terrific value for money.

Love this plasma television

I've had the LG 42PQ30 plasma tv for about 2 months now and I'm still learning how to use more of its features.
The other day I upconverted my dvds to 1080p and noticed the TV picked up the signal as 1080/60p. Then i figured wow I got a 1080p television at a 720p plasma tv price. What a nice tv, I was able to display 1920 by 1080 resolution from my pc vga output even though the picture is a little washed out because of vga resolution limitations. I will try to go DVI out to HDMI and see if there's a difference in picture quality. The picture on 480p, 720p, and 1080i were all great. I guess when you have a 42inch television standard definition doesn't get dragged out and blurred like the larger 50 plus inch television. This tv displays everything I threw at it greatly. I looked at my friend's Samsung LN40B650 with 120 hz and noticed my LG 42" plasma displays football games alot better with no blurs. One caveat is that this LG plasma has one of the best hdtv tuners that I've seen. It picks up all the digital channels in my area with no artifacts and i'm only using old rabbit ears antenna that I bought for $10 ten years ago. Nevertheless, this TV is a plasma so lights need to be minimized to eliminate the glare.

Great TV at a great price

I actually bought mine from Sears online at a net cost of $565 after rebate. I've had it two weeks and am thrilled with everything about it - picture (been watching lots of sports), sound, and ease of use. The user interface is really neat, too, almost like a computer. When you connect another input - like a USB or a game system, the TV tells you that another device has been detected,and then asks you if you are ready to use it. Nice touch. Another nice touch is that it automatically adjusts the screen temperature based on the light levels of the room (if you have it set to automatic). Go for it!

Can't Go wrong with this Plasma!!!!!!

I just purchased the LG 42PQ30 this past weekend. This is my second Plasma. I have a hitachi 42" plasma 1080i in the livingroom. So i kept going back and forth about if i wanted another plasma or get a LCD. After endless hours of research on 32" LCDs, I was ready to find the best deal and buy a LCD.(Due to Plasmas being more expensive.) I decided that I wanted an LG over most of the other brands. Once i arrived at the store, I took a close look at all the LCds they had. Then I came across The LG 42PQ30, which i knew i had found what i was looking for. Yes, it's only 720p, but the current 720p picture is a tad better than my 1080i. After 15 minutes of watching TV, I know playing movies on my PS3 was great before, The picture was everything i had hoped for and more.

This Flat screen has some very nice features. It has a senor that really helps the picture in all types of lighting. 3 different view settings (cinema, sports & game)which after switching to game while playing my PS3 the picture got even better. i would recommend this set to anybody in the market for a great plasma with a semi tight budget. I will definately look into buying the 50" LG Plasma when i decide to replace my other Plasma.
