LG Electronics 42LGX 42-Inch LCD HDTV Review

- Few things stand out about LG's 42LGX--except its price. At $2000 (as of November 4, 2008), this 120-Hz HDTV costs twice as much as its stablemate, the LG 42PG25. The notes from our performance jury offer little praise for the 42LGX's picture quality. One judge described several images as "flat" and found the visuals in chapter 12 of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl to be "very dull." Another judge complained that the same scene was "a little bit too dark to see the details." In an American Idol clip, one person's face looked more like oil paint on canvas than like human skin.
