A 42 LCD TV is a great choice for a larger room and provides some really nice options for different types of input. The catch to this size of TV is to match the viewing experience and screen size to the budget. The 42 LCD TV will cost more than a smaller sized screen but it can certainly deliver more if chosen right.

A large screen with HDTV capabilities is the dream of many a HDTV fan. The 42 LCD TV can deliver that experience and may well not break the budget.

The LG 42LH30 42″ 1080p HDTV has a lot of the features that people shop for in a 42 LCD TV. It comes with a swiveling stand and a very thin profile. It has full HD resolution 1920 x 1080p resolution and an invisible speaker system.

The sound is provided by Dolby Digital and therefore is a little better quality than most built in speakers. It comes in a black gloss finish which adds to its looks and 3 HDMI ports a pc input and 2 AV. The screen has great colors and adjustability with different video modes for different uses. The look is nice and sleek overall. The price is reasonable for a 42 LCD TV.

For a little something different in a 42 LCD TV, LG has the  LG 42LH50 42″ 1080p 120Hz Broadband  TV available. The purpose of this TV is not only to deliver and excellent HDTV experience with 1080p resolution but with NETCAST you can access streaming broadcasts from Youtube or Netflix.

This 42 LCD TV has invisible Dolby Digital speakers as well to provide a better sound quality than usual with built in speakers. It has automatic lighting adjustment for rooms where the lighting is subject to change, a picture wizard to help find the perfect color balance and on screen sound adjustment so the speakers perform as intended.

The AV modes allow the viewer to watch sports without the hesitation and shuddering or blurring that is common with other TVs, a game mode with faster reaction times, and a cinema mode for the best experience when watching HDTV programs or DVDs.  All this comes with a price tag but many shoppers find it the right choice for them and the newest wave in home entertainment.

Hitachi has a nice solid reputation for decent TVs and their recent 42 LCD TV, the Hitachi L42A403 Alpha Series 1080p is helping them continue it. The cost is moderate the resolution is true 1080p. It has multiple input slots for PC S video HDTV and composite. The picture is brilliant and adjustable. This 42 LCD TV won’t break the budget and will be good for most uses.

Those are only a few of the available brands and options when it comes to a HDTV 42 LCD TV. However, the question remains, which one is right for you? Perhaps checking a few details first, can make the choice much easier.

Size

42 inches is a nice sized TV but it does require a reasonable amount of dedicated space. Make sure your entertainment area will support a TV of this size and it won’t be sticking out into the room ruining the flow of the room or posing a hazard or worse, won’t fit. Measure first, then choose.

How do you plan to use the 42 LCD TV? You want to make sure the refresh rate is suitable, the inputs are available for pc or for cable input or even blue ray. If you can’t put it to the purpose you intended or it lacks input ports for audio or pc then you may not be pleased with it.

How good is the color and the resolution on the 42 LCD TV you plan to purchase? This is the research part where you balance your budget against your desire for picture quality and resolution. A high end 42 LCD TV with all the bells and whistles may well cost more than you have budgeted. Sometimes though, it is worth it to go over budget and not have to replace your HDTV in a year or so because you are dissatisfied with the color or the refresh rate.

The Good Side

The good side of purchasing a 42 LCD TV with HDTV capability is that your viewing experience will undoubtedly  be greatly enhanced since HDTV programming is becoming so very common. The flexibility in use and the better speaker systems that are being incorporated into these HDTVs certainly are a plus.

The Negative Side

On the negative side the price on a 42 LCD TV is more than the standard CRT 19 inch that many have been living with for years. Before purchasing a 42 LCD TV you need to ascertain your needs and desires or you may make a very costly error.  This size LCD TV and on up requires a certain amount of space and unless the 42 LCD TV is very lightweight mounting options will be limited.  Those are the few negatives.

Summary

Overall, size is important for HDTV if the room size is large and seating is much further from the entertainment area. 42 LCD TV delivers what many consider the very minimum in large screen viewing and still it can be difficult to position properly.  Check into how difficult the 42 LCD TV will be to install some of them take nothing to get going and others may require some technical savvy.

When making a purchase this large buying new is almost always the best option.  The warranty will be longer than with a used unit (which may not have one at all). With a new 42 LCD TV there is always the potential to return the TV or get it replaced if there are issues or it doesn’t function properly.

Shopping around is a good idea and checking all the brands against each other for the qualities you value in a 42 LCD TV. It is not impossible to find these large screen HDTVs on sale and save quite a bit.  Make sure of your requirements before purchasing your 42 LCD TV and down the road your only regret might be that you did not get 2 of them.

52 LCD TV – Is It The Ultimate?

Perhaps the 52 LCD TV is not the ultimate in size, but it surely provides an unforgettable experience. The 52 LCD TV is available in 1080p HDTV.  What you need in a major purchase like this is decided by your budget, your tastes, and the use you put it to, just as with any other major purchase.

The 52 LCD TV is very popular among sports fans, however it is also popular among HDTV programming fans, video lovers and even gamers. Watching a sports  game on a large screen high res TV is the ultimate for some buyers.

If that is the case then insure that the HDTV has a sufficiently high refresh rate to avoid the stuttering that 52 LCD TV buyers have reported in some models used for other purposes.

You will also want to insure you have sufficient input ports to hook your HDTV up to the cable or satellite if that is how you view games and perhaps a PC connector and DVD or Video player connector. This is a large screen and takes up a fair amount of space (that is a good point) so check the ultimate size and your available space on your choice.

Samsung produces a 52 LCD TV model LN52B750 with 1080p and with a 240 HZ and two ms response time that is popular among sports fans. There are 4 HDMI inputs and two component and 1 PC inputs plus surround sound speakers.

This may not be the ultimate 52 LCD TV, but it is worth comparing to other brands to see if it meets your needs.  Essentially comparisons are the best way to determine the best choice for you.

The Sony Bravia S Series comes with a very reasonable price tag and is a full high def 1080p TV. This 52 LCD TV has 3 HDMI inputs, two component inputs and a PC input. It is energy star qualified as well. You may want to consider if 3 HDMI inputs are enough (they are for most people).

The size of this unit is somewhat larger than other 52 LCD TV choices, so making sure it fits is essential prior to purchase. There are link modules that are sold separately that can extend the capabilities of this HDTV but are not included in the basic package.

Philips makes a 52 LCD TV  that  has 1080p resolution a 33000:1 contrast ratio and 16:9 aspect ratio. There is a 5 ms response time and this 52 LCD TV uses pixel plus high definition engine. The price is very reasonable and a tradeoff between price and capabilities might be possible for some purchasers.

The negatives to a 52 LCD TV are that the proper TV with the best display rate and the proper size is hard to choose. That might seem like a positive but when you are seriously shopping for the best buy and the best use, then it does become a drawback.

Almost all 52 LCD TV brands are 1080p since HDTV is the standard now. 720p HDTV is not available in this particular size anymore.  Across the board the built in speakers in most of the 52 LCD TV models are not as good as most people’s home media systems.

On the good side the 52 LCD TV with 1080p true HD display will certainly make your movie viewing an experience to rival that of any cinema. Hook in the right sound system and you have a movie theater at home. Sports fans dream of watching the big games on with a crystal clear picture that size.

DVDS can be displayed the way they were meant to be seen and some 52 LCD TV models have internet streaming capability so streaming media can be accessed through the TV using your own broadband connection!  Those are some pretty attractive features.

Some styles of HDTVs are more aesthetically appealing than others may be, this can factor in the decision but it may have no impact at all.

Overall, the 52 LCD TV is well worth the purchase price if chosen t suit your needs. The work involved in choosing the correct model with the correct display rate and input ports is well worth it in terms of savings, and long term satisfaction with your purchase.

Care should be taken when choosing a 52 LCD TV for your home to make sure it fits the allotted area. There could be few more discouraging things than to have that new HDTV arrive and find that it doesn’t fit in the entertainment area.

Also, be sure that you can hook your cable, DVD, audio input, and even internet to the TV at the same time if you plan to use them all. If you can’t use all its capabilities then you may not be happy with this purchase.

On the other hand, if you choose what you can use, you will find that HDTV will come to life for you and if you are new to HDTV you will see what the fuss is all about.  Blueray technology may be available on some models of 52 LCD TVs it is up to you if you feel you can use it or if this addition is unecessary.

It can be a very positive factor and allow home speaker systems to stay hidden while still broadcasting to your HDTV, however it will add some to the cost too.

Once you have done your measuring, decided on your needs and selected a brand and style of 52 LCD TV the rest is relatively easy. It is almost always best to avoid purchasing these used,  as the warranty on new products protect a substantial investment.

Also the more complex the system is the more possible it will be that professional installation may be necessary. You can arrange this prior to the 52 LCD TV’s delivery date if necessary.  Once all that is done, you can set up your new big screen HDTV and sit back and enjoy media in an entire new way.
