Coming in at a svelte like 38mm deep and weighing just 16kg, the Philips 42PES0001D 'Essence' LCD has been designed to satisfy consumer demand for an ultra stylish wall mounted flat panel TV.

Philips are confident that hanging the 42PES0001D is a one person job. Weighing a lot less than virtually any other 42in LCD TV, the panel also features a self-levelling bracket, which will ensure the TV is perfectly horizontal.

With just a single cable (includes power) between the connectivity hub and screen, clutter is reduced to a minimum, leaving the 42PES0001D to show of its gloriously stylish lines. The slim sound bar underneath the panel can also be removed for replacement with speaker separates if required.

All of this style however does not come at the expense of substance. Under the hood is Philips' Perfect Pixel HD Engine along with a 2ms response time and 100Hz processing. There is a Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and the 42PES0001 is DLNA compliant.

The 42PES0001 is available in the UK now.
