Abstract: In what is truly a remarkable turn of events, DisplaySearch – the leading display market research firm – reports that LG Electronics has overtaken Matsushita (parent company of Panasonic) as the world's largest plasma television supplier in terms of vo...
Plasma TVs are generally bulkier and, well, uglier than LCDs, so LG's new 42-incher looks about as out of place amongst them as Naomi Campbell in a Miss Congeniality contest. The 42PG6000 sports a thin, frameless design that looks nothing short of stu...
Unfortunately it isn't a full 1920 x 1080 screen, so 1080p pictures aren't shown off to their best levels. Standard-def stuff looks OK, but we did spot some noise around poorer quality Freeview material. Black levels don't stand up there with...

Reports of plasmas demise have been greatly exaggerated, particularly if LG has any say in it. The Korean companys new, super-affordable 42PG6000 TV is a vision in rolled edges and piano black, and looks to claw back some flatscreen territory from li...
Given that the 42PG6000 can be sourced off the internet for around £700, this screen represents excellent value for money. As the centrepiece of a budget home cinema system only Panasonics 42PX80 comes close and as a general day to day TV at a very co...
