The LG 42PT353K 42-inch. **UPDATE SKY+ HD REMOTE CODE: 0206**
I was looking for something 40″ or more that can be shipped to Ireland at this price-point but was worried as there was only one review for this screen at the time.
Worry not! This LG unit is absolutely fantastic quality with both HD and SD inputs. I’m running Sky+ HD box, but no HD subscription and Tested a Wii and USB Stick Movies. All look great on screen with the default settings for the TV.
I notice that the only apparent Audio out is an optical TOSLINK, so I’ll be connecting up a hifi to this unit in the future, but it is tolerable audio quality as shipped for everyday viewing, though lacks a bit of low end “kick” for Movies.
I wall mounted the screen, with a window 2 metres away to the left side, and during the day there is some on-screen reflection visible from the Glossy coating if seated to the riight of the screen, so if you have a sunny room be aware it will reflect somewhat.
Colour reproduction is excellent, I work in Graphic Design and use a hardware colour calibrated PC screens for work, so I have a pretty keen eye for these things. I haven’t had to worry with the LG 42PT353K. The colour response was great out of the box.
Blacks are good as you would expect on a plasma, and the preset options for Movies, Sport etc. offer great options at a touch of the remote.
The razor frame looks great and gives a sleek overall impression, and for a 42″ Plasma it looks good on the wall.
Menus and setup are simple to use, the remote is of good build quality. There are some touch buttons on the bottom right of the screen which are so discrete you’d hardly know the existed.
For a 720 screen I was suitably blown away by a nature program on the free BBC HD channel, the WOW effect of detail for Sea creatures moving in water was plain to see, with the water looking so lifelike you would want to jump right in and swim along with the Whales…
5* with no reservations.

|Worked for six months or so.,
Bought one of these in February. It worked OK for a few months then suddenly refused to switch on. Contacted Amazon who asked me to get in touch with LG. When I finally got through to them, LG promised to ring me to make an appointment for an engineer. That was best part of a month ago and no sign of a call from LG. In the meantime Amazon have collected the set and given me a refund. Top marks to Amazon for customer service. Zero marks to LG customer service – if they exist at all, that is. My advice, If you buy one of these get it from a reputable seller like Amazon and don’t look to LG for any help.
