The Bottom Line CNET did not review the Sharp LC-42D43U, but we did review a smaller model in the series. Although it has a couple of weaknesses, the overall picture quality of the Sharp LC-32D43U puts it among the best LCDs of its size. 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. CNET did not review the 42-inch LG 42LG30, but we did review a smaller model in the series. 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.
