The Amazing 42LH50 Flat Panel TV

The 42LH50 flat panel 42" television made by LG Electronics, specializes in streaming internet video. This product has the exact same specifications and features as the LG 47LH50 and the 55LH55. The only difference is the size of the screen and some slight variations in the outward appearance of the three television sets.

The LG 42LH50 has many features for enhanced television viewing. Let's begin with the actual quality of the picture. First, this is not your regular, high definition television. This is Full HD. The picture resolution is far superior than normal HD.

But, picture resolution is not the only thing that helps to determine picture quality. There are many picture settings that have a huge effect on picture quality. LG has a revolutionary system which lets you maintain perfect calibration on several settings that are crucial to optimum viewing. These settings will change in relation to the amount of light in the room, so there is a built in Intelligent Sensor which automatically makes adjustments based on the ambient lighting.

The LG 42LH50 is great for viewing high speed action without the motion blur that other TVs have. Whether it's sports, auto racing or video games, LG Electronics TruMotion 120Hz technology lets you keep up with the fastest moving scenes, with its unique ability to process fast moving images in lightning speed.

The audio technology is interesting, starting with the fact that the speakers are hidden, and yet, the audio is enhanced and has a wider than normal sound field. You get a surround sound kind of listening experience without actually needing to surround yourself with speakers. You can expect to be in the acoustic sweet spot of deep and rich sound, in any of the seats from which you normally view your television.

How many times have you noticed, that you can not actually hear everything somebody is saying in a movie or TV program, because of the loudness of the other sounds, or the music? You often probably find yourself turning the TV up trying to make out the dialog, even though others are sleeping, and then you still might not be successful, because the volume of everything is increased, not just the voices.

The 42LH50 uses Clear Voice II technology which lets you actually increase the volume of the dialogue, (or decrease it, if you want to highlight special audio effects.) It is able to do this because of audio equalizer technology that is attuned to the frequency range of the human voice.

The internet is the future of television, and with LG Electronics 42LH50, the future has arrived. LG televisions are the first to have Netflix instant streaming, built right into them. This saves you from having to purchase and hook up a separate, external device. Internet access, of course, is required, and it is subscription based, which allows customers to have unlimited access to a vast catalog of films and television shows.

YouTube videos can easily be played on the 42LH50, because it has a built in YouTube client, designed to give you the best television viewing possible of the millions of YouTube videos. The remote control gives you full access to the website functions. YouTube is free, but requires internet access. Also requiring 'net access is yet another built in client; Vudu On Demand movie service, which is fee based, on a per rental or per purchase basis.
