What You Should Know about the Regza 42HL167

Good Fit For a Midsize Living Room

HDTVs with a diagonal screen size between 42 and 45 inches are LCDs or plasmas, usually with a resolution of either 1366 by 768 or 1920 by 1080 (1080p). The optimum viewing distance for an HDTV screen like this one is generally considered to be about 6.5 to 7.5 feet. That makes a television of this size appropriate for a range of living areas, such as a den, a large bedroom, a midsize living room, or a game room.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Great color, 1080p capable, lots of inputs, VGA input

Weaknesses: none so far

Overall Evaluation: Great set and best price for set with 1080p and so many inputs...3 HDMI, 1 VGA, COMPONENT, COMPOSITE, S-VIDEO. Easy to hook up to home theater amp using HDMI. As for the guy complaining about burn in, that is all but impossible on LCD screens. I also use this set connected to PC with high end graphics cards and DVI to HDMI cable for watching on line video and movies. Works great!
