This one is a high end plasma allright. Boasting that this 42 inch 42PC1DA is at least 25% brighter that most plasma, LG has truly bring in a luxury set to our homes.

This plasma will dazzle you - right from it’s black sleek design to it’s display when the plasma is turned on. It doesn’t matter what you’re viewing - standard transmission, high definition or DVD - this set is simply awesome.

The only complaint is the fact that it lacks a DVI input.  And ..
for some strange reason we could not find the LG 42PC1DA either in Amazon or other Plasma review websites. Anyway, these are some of it’s specs:-

Other Reviews:

• At PCWorld, editors sing praises for the LG-42PC1DA saying that “The LG 42PC1DA is a luxury TV in every respect. From its sleek, glossy black case to the smooth curves of its base, this HDTV commands attention even when it’s turned off. But power it up and you’ll find your eyes dazzled by the display itself.The LG outpaced every other TV we tested, in almost every category. The set received its highest marks for color quality, particularly showing off the vibrant reds and greens in a scene from the Seabiscuit DVD that we use for testing. Brightness and contrast were also exceptional: The set is rated as being 25 percent brighter than most other TVs right out of the box, and a little tweaking boosts this differential even more.Bottom line: Whether viewing DVD video, high-definition, or standard-definition content, the LG was our go-to model for crisp detail and spot-on color.”
• A buyer at CNET says this about the LG 42PC1DA : “I have now returned 4 plasma TV’s to finally find the best one on the market. I did tons of research like most people and found that when I get the TV home it just doesn’t live up to the hype from other reviews.This TV compares to top end Pioneer Elite plasmas, it’s true color and deep blacks are worth every penny. This plasma has so many user options and settings available. Save some money on the higher end plasma’s and get this, you won’t be disappointed”
