The 42PB4DA’s picture is terrific with outstanding LG technology built into the set. Clear Filter Pro improves brightness and contrast, reduces reflection and delivers truer color reproduction, while Extreme Contour Compensation (XCC) minimizes color contour noise for natural color transitions.Users will be assured of satisfaction with this 42-inch plasma, especially with its wide array of connectivity options. This includes two HDMI connections and even a PC input. Boasting a contrast ratio of 15,000:1, this 1024 x 768 panel also features a number of user-friendly features, making the 42PB4DA a pleasure to use as well as a pleasure to watch.

The 42PB4DA already provides the convenience and future proofing of HDMI. It also adds LG SimpLink technology so all your LG products can work together that much more easily. SimpLink allows for convenient control of other LG SimpLink products using the existing HDMI connection. So your LG television can talk to your LG Blu-ray Disc player with minimal involvement from you. Also, the addition of a USB 2.0 port means that you can connect to your PC, or USB ports on your digital camera, camcorder, or other device.

Six distinct processes contribute to picture improvement. But whats important to know is that LG’s XD Engine takes the low resolution of analog signals to near HD levels by improving brightness, contrast, and detail. It also reduces signal noise, which is a common trouble-maker for image quality. Since this technology attacks both aspects of analog signal issues, the overall result is cinema-like high resolution images on your 1366 x 768p plasma screen.

Of course, LG has included a Dolby Digital Decoder and SRS TruSurround XT so that your plasma sounds as great as it looks. You can also manually adjust the bass, balance and treble to tweak and fine-tune your audio experience to your specific liking. You can also choose between Mono, Stereo, and SAP. SAP is great because it allows you to hear audio in Spanish, which is perfect if you are in a bilingual home, or studying a Spanish as a second language.
