Of the many hundreds if not thousands of HDTV units, both big brand name and 'generic', this LG 42PT350 was 1 of only 8 models tested by Consumer's Reports out of all sizes, all prices and all formats which the magazine chose not just to praise but to actually recommend for purchase. I ordered this unit largely on the strength of that review and this set did not disappoint. The fit and finish are outstanding as are the "thin frame" edging, which really are so thin they virtually disappear. Don't worry about the 720 aspect of this set as it presents beautifully. I went against the majority and purchased a plasma set to assure that the near 180 degree seating around the set would be visible to all and I am so glad I did.

A 'beginner's set' in price only as the features it provides for self-tuning the image staging compare favorably to professional screen staging if you are methodical. Go buy it!

Shipping was very fast, ordered on a Sunday received on following Friday with standard shipping. The picture quality is fantastic although whites could be a little better. The real drawback is the stand ,the stand is is horrific its very wobbly and doesn't support the unit hardly at all, I wall mounted this TV the following day but wanted to test it for a night before going through the trouble, I was afraid it was going to fall over.
Menus are easily navigated
Factory setting have too much Green and Red
Sound is decent
Once set up picture is outstanding
I bought this for $645 on Amazon with free super saving shipping

Want an awesome, pretty big television for an amazing price? Don't look anything further - it's here.

I was a little worried at first about getting a television online. I couldn't see what it looked like, I couldn't find the same model in stores, and I worried it wouldn't fit right in my living room. Well, based on the good reviews I read on here, I decided to give it a shot.

This television, quite simply, is a STEAL for the price. Initially, I was really wanting an LCD because of the energy it saves, but a plasma is more bang for your buck. If you like to watch sports or play games (things with a lot of motion), a plasma can give you that for a much cheaper price. You'll have to pay quite a bit more for an LCD tv with comparable elimination of motion blur.
