42" PHILIPS          LCD       42PFL7704D/F7    7000      $1450

This set is priced great, it offers good picture quality, sharp images and fast paced images appear clear due to its HD engine and quick geared specs. If your looking for a HDTV with lots of bells and whistles this one is not it. But a HD powerhouse it is!

42" LG                    LED        LG 42SL90             SL90       $1899

All-in-all this LED backlit beauty leaves little to be desired! It's stylish, it processes images at a good rate to eliminate most judder and it offers unmatched picture quality. It also delivers deep rich blacks, and produced brilliant vivid color! We give this SL90 series two thumbs up!

42" JVC                  LCD        LT42WX70            WX70      $1999

All-in-all this Procision Xiview WX70 Series offers medium to high end Specs and features. It's price could use some downward adjustments. It's thin design is desirable and gives it curb appeal but... I have seen cheaper sets with higher specs. It does produce vivid brilliant color and has a good dejudder process.

42" VIZIO              LCD        VT420M                 VT           $924

This affordable VT Series shows up the competition! Displaying a 1080p full high definition resolution it packs a punch, not to mention a 120Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time. We like the sound feature which monitors and balances the sound levels, no more playing with the volume levels! All-in-all this 42” VT series offers lots for the price and it produces crisp clear motion blur free images!

42" RCA                  LCD       L42FHD37             FHD37     $999

RCA put together a desirable package, good price, good features and hardware make up this full high definition HDTV. Loaded with features like Intuilight light sensor, and a 6500:1 DCR gives this set high-end contrast and color! Not to mention a fast 5ms panel response time and 10 bit processing by it’s ARC2 Engine. But it’s lack of a 120Hz refresh rate makes it less desirable for gamers and intense action movie videophile’s, but the price makes up for the low refresh rate scoring it a B+!
