With the 'edge lighting' implementation of LED technology removing the bulky backlight components of this TV, LG's 42SL900 presents an incredibly svelte 29mm profile.

Equally as important for overall on screen performance, the 42SL9000 sports the latest incarnation of LG's highly regarded core picture processing technology, 'XD Engine'.

Expecting another sublime Black Level performance courtesy of on board LED technology we were just a little bit disappointed to notice the occasional tinge of greyness to pictures on close inspection. Hardly perceptible, the 42SL9000 nevertheless failed to present the level of detail across darker scenes that we have become used to from the best LCD TV's and Plasmas.

What is not in doubt is the LG 42SL9000's ability to deliver a supremely good Colour performance. LG's from the not too distant past produced TV's that delivered a vibrant but rather over saturated or 'garish' representation of colour. Some of the more recent LG's we have looked at now retain the rich colour palette while introducing the subtlety required to make even tricky areas look supremely realistic.

Best Price: £915.00>
