  Lucky Goldstar Corp, otherwise known as LG, is a Korean manufacturer of electronics goods. South Korea's second largest conglomerate has been exporting its technologically advanced products across the globe for years and rubs shoulders with some of the giants in the electronics industry including Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and Toshiba.
  
  LCD televisions use liquid-crystal displays to make television sets smaller and slimmer, while delivering better quality picture and clearer audio for users.
  
  LG is no stranger in the LCD TV market and its 42-inch model, the 42LG30, is a high quality TV.
  
  

General Specs

• The diagonal size of the screen is 42 inches, and it can come with or without a stand, which is typically the same color as the television -- glossy piano black.
  
  Its quick response time of 6.2 ms (milliseconds) means there is little waiting between pressing a button on the remote and getting the desired result.
  
  

Display

• The display format of the 42LG30 is 720p, indicating progressive scan, which makes for a sharper picture. This is the preferable format for watching fast-motion events, such as sports. The viewing angle of this set is 178 degrees, both vertically and horizontally, so there should be no complaints from a crowded room, even from those watching from the side. The high contrast ratio of 12,000:1 further enhances the high-quality picture of this television.
  
  

Clear Voice Technology

• This feature of the model automatically enhances the sound of human voices so that any dialogue remains audible, even when there is a lot of background noise in the program.
  
  

AV Modes

• Users can easily select from three modes of "Cinema," "Sports" or "Games" to adjust the picture and get the best quality visuals and audio for the program they are watching.
