LG 42PG6000 Review

The 42PG6000 features no less than 4 HDMI inputs (v1.3) along with 2 scarts and the usual Composite, Component and Svideo inputs. There is also a very useful USB port through which you can view your digital photos (through a slide show function) or play MP3 files.

Picture processing technology on the 42PG6000 comes in the shape of LG's proprietary XD engine. The XD Engine brings together a range of picture processing enhancements under the XD umbrella which focuses on improving the panels operation in two distinct areas. It works with the input signal to improve the quality of incoming feeds and then with the panel itself to improve the presentation of the these feeds.

Despite a resolution which falls below Full HD, the LG 42PG6000 excels with High Definition content. Although we have come to expect supremely sharp, crisp pictures with HD, we have to place such an accomplished performance into context - this is one of the cheapest 42in plasma currently available to UK consumers.
