Ready to make the leap?
LG's 42LK520 is a great way to enjoy the Full HD video you'll find on new Blu-ray discs. Whether you're finally making the leap to 1080p or looking for a second set for your home, this LCD TV is a solid choice. The 42" screen offers a good-sized picture without taking up a ton of space in your living room. A 120Hz refresh rate ensures that the on-screen picture is always crystal clear, even during fast action.

But not only does this Full HDTV cost less than other models when you buy it, it costs less to own, too.

I wanted an 42inch LCD TV with medium performance and reasonable price for the bedroom. The 42LK520 lived up to all my expectations of picture quality, sound, energy efficient and moderate weight for lugging upstairs and installing. Installation was a breeze and the LG 42LK520 model has plenty of interfaces HDMI, RCA, USB and antenna. I particularly like the 120Hz scanning rate and the price was very reasonable for a non LED backlight. I hope it lives up to LGs image of high reliability.
