With this guide I hope you will get some hint on how to evaluate the best LCD TVs in the market. Today I picked the 42 inch LCD TVs for my review.

The LG 42LH40 simply rocks with its 42-inch diagonal, widescreen display, 1080p resolution with TruMotion 120Hz that offers clear view without glitches even for high speed scenes.

Many LCDs have problems keeping a smooth image when displaying sports or fast paced action scenes. The blur effect kills the sensation but with the TruMotion 120Hz technology this is a thing of past.

Also it encompasses invisible speaker system and Clear Voice II which saves you from the annoying moments when the voice is too low for the noises in the background by amplifying the voice frequency range.

Another television you should consider is the Philips 42PFL3704D/47. At 42 inch and 1080p resolution this LCD HDTV offers a high quality picture with is Pixel Plus HD engine. Pixel Plus HD is a picture processing technology and the result is superbly razor sharp pictures with incredible details and depth from any HD source.

Best thing about this Philips TV is the price which is slightly more than $600.

Here is a customer review “I really can’t get over how well the black tones look on this TV. I feel this was WAY more than a bargain-basement TV. I would not hesitate to buy this TV, provided the features match your needs”.

Another piece to think about is the Toshiba REGZA 42ZV650U. This LCD TV incorporates the ClearScan 240 advanced frame rate technology which makes it great to watch sports, play video games or watch action scenes.

Here’s a quick excerpt from a customer review “I was blown away when I went to see it at Best Buy, and I’m still blown away by the fact that there’s one downstairs in my living room. The contrast is amazing: I just finished watching The Empire Strikes Back, and I was shocked to see Vader’s mask and cape actually being totally black!”
