| The Bottom Line | CNET did not review the 42-inch LG 42LG30, but we did review a smaller model in the series. | LG's 32LG30 doesn't produce the deepest black levels, but its color accuracy after calibration will warm geeky hearts. | While its black levels and uniformity mark the LG LH30 series as an entry-level display, its extensive picture controls allow the color accuracy of a flagship model. | With deep black levels and generally excellent picture quality, the more eco-friendly Panasonic TC-PS1 series of plasma TVs strikes an appealing price/performance balance. | Although not quite the best of its breed, the Samsung LN-T4661F delivers very good picture quality with plenty of style and functionality. |
