A TV with a built-in DVR is a wonderful idea. The 50PC1DRA’s DVR works well for the most part, though there are a few things I would definitely change. The detail, black level, and color of this set are generally quite good, but the shadow detail isn’...
Abstract: The technology inside is impressive too: the 42PC1D uses a Clear Filter screen which replaces the ordinary thick glass filter found on other plasmas. Handily, this makes the screen much lighter so it is a lot easier to more around. More importantly, it...
Abstract: Even by LG's usually pretty affordable standards, the 42PC1D plasma TV looks like a heck of a bargain on paper. Coming in at around £812 including VAT and delivery, it's one of the cheapest 42in TVs on the market. Which is, of course, great so far as it g...
Integrated HD DVR. Good color accuracy and saturation.
Poor video processing. Unimpressive contrast ratio. HD recording restricted to cable and off-air sources.
The LG 50PC1DRA is a 50-inch HD plasma that offers the convenience of a built-in DVR, but it spoils the fun with generally unimpressive image quality....

If you want to improve on this TV, buy the seventh generation Pioneer plasma. But thatll cost you $2,300 more. For the dollars asked for the LG 50PC10, it is simply brilliant.
Abstract: Even though its meagre £1,500 price tag (remarkably) doesn quite take the prize for being the cheapest TV in this group test, LGs plasma-based 42PC1D still seems fearsomely good value. Especially as, on the surface at least, it doesn appear at all comp...
