After spending quality time with the 42LF66, it's hard to escape the feeling that LG is rather dropping behind its Korean neighbour Samsung when it comes to delivering great LCD picture quality. Black levels in particular need to improve if LG wants to keep up with the best.
We guess that by LCD standards the LG's £914 asking price is very reasonable for a 42in screen. But let's not forget that at 42in the 42LF66 also treads on plasma TV turf, and when considered against similarly priced 42in plasmas such as Samsung's 42Q97HD or Panasonic's 42PX70, even with its full HD pixel count the 42LF66 again doesn't quite stack up.
