LG 42PG6000

The new skinny LG TV on the block.

£700 isn't much to shell out on a 42-inch monster plasma, so you could be forgiven for expecting this to be a plastic monstrosity with a crap picture.

But it isn't! Thanks to the "frameless" design, this is actually one of the best-looking plasma TVs around, and even if its thinness is more illusion than fact (it's about 80mm deep), you won't be ashamed to have this trophy hanging on your wall.

Performance? Well, it's certainly not the best in its class: black levels aren't too hot by plasma standards, and the glass screen panel reflects a lot of light back at you - so make sure your curtains are thick.
