LG 42PT350 Review
42" LG Plasma TV
Picture and Viewing Feaures
LG's PT350 series are a 720p resolution line of plasma televisions. With the 720p panel and a lack of some of the bells and whistles of the higher end models the PT350 comes in at a very affordable price point. Much HD programming is still in 720p or 1080i so you aren't losing much with the 720p resolution.
Appearance
The PT350 has a thin black bezel surrounding the panel and doesn't have the single pane of glass covering the entire front like the higher end LG plasmas. It's still a rather good looking television even if it is a bit understated.
Standout Features
The fact that the PT350 is a budget priced, 720p plasma is it's main standout feature.
Connections
4 or more HDMI inputs should be plenty on any TV. 1 Component video input should be sufficient for your favorite older DVD player. The main nuance inputs are USB and Ethernet.
