The LG 42PC1D Plasma Television is the perfect choice for consumers who want a high end package at an affordable price with a superb picture quality, first class design and a simple user interface. LG’s proprietary XD Engine technology takes low-resolution analog signals to near high-definition levels, providing better overall picture quality. This new technology encompasses six distinct processes that help to improve brightness, enhance detail, apply more accurate color and reduce noise. To clear up any confusion, the use of a 4:3 resolution on a widescreen display means the pixels are slightly wider than they are tall, producing a more natural balance between the red, green and blue phosphors.

Other features which make it stand out from the competition include LG’s ‘Clear Filter’ which replaces the traditional thick glass filter with single thin film filter, eliminating reflection, glare, double imaging and dramatically reduces the weight of the screens, making them prefect for wall-mounting or placement in any other setting. This Model also includes, built in speakers, included TV Stand, and is not to be confused with the non-HD version - 42PC1DV, which has a lower resolution.
