For an HD plasma TV with a better spec than most, the LG 42PQ3000 deserves to be on your shortlist.

Thanks to its new 600Hz sub-field driving technology, the 42pq3000 can rightly claim to have the best picture quality in its class. Although different from 100Hz technology in not offering a true interpolation between frames, the 600Hz technology works by pulsing each frame 12 times, thereby upgrading to standard 50Hz signal to an effective 600Hz one. If all this is double Dutch to you, then don't be concerned! Suffice to say that the new technology gives the 42pq3000 a superb response with incredible realism and super-sharp tracking on fast moving motion such as sports events. With technologies such as the latest version of LG's highly acclaimed Dual XD Engine the 42PQ3000 offers up excellent levels of brightness, colour purity and contrast. The figures showing a stunning dynamic contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1 and brightness of 1500cdm say a great deal, but the proof of the LG's superior picture quality is in the watching - already the reviewers are proclaiming the 42pq3000 to be one of the best in class.

The LG's excellence carries through to its audio performance. Granted, a separate home cinema system will still sound an awful lot better, but the LG 42pq3000's audio performance easily beats its rivals. SRS TruSurround XT is a high quality surround sound effect processor which you'll usually only find on much more expensive TVs. Combined with the Invisible speaker system, you'll find it gives the LG 42pq3000 a smooth, spacious sound that's less boxy-sounding than many TVs. Added to this, Clear Voice II makes dialogue easier to follow, especially during action-packed sound tracks. Finally, if you're planning to use this plasma TV as part of your home cinema system, then you'll be pleased to find an optical digital output - perfect for the highest quality audio connection to your AV receiver.

In terms of connections, the 42pq3000 has everything you'd expect plus more besides. Twin rear-mounted HDMI (and one side-mounted) sockets allow for the connection of 3 High Definition sources, such as an HD-TV box, HD camcorder and Blu-ray. In addition to this, the 42pq3000 boasts twin SCART sockets and component connections for your analogue sources. Furthermore, the PC input makes this attractive TV the perfect complement to your home computer. More unusual but great to have is the side-mounted USB connection. This lets you watch digital media from your camera or phone.

Thanks to features such as an intelligent light sensor that reduces screen brightness when possible, the LG 42pq3000 is one of only a few plasma TVs that's recommended by the Energy Saving Trust.

Rounding off this perfect plasma TV is a cleanly styled cabinet and matching, swivel, stand. To experience the sheer indulgence of a plasma TV at its best, the 42pq3000 does it better for less.

Also available, the improved spec LG 42pq6000.
