LG 42LE7900 review

It's big, it's purple and it's only wafer thin. LG's latest boundary pushing screen, the 42LE7900, with its subtly plum-tinged frame and improbable profile, is jaw-droppingly lovely to look at and comes packed full of some the most exciting spec of any telly available today. FeaturesThis set has every gadget you could possibly need and then a few more sprinkled on top for good measure. Most excitingly, it has Freeview HD brains built in, which means you won't need a digibox ever again. It also sports LG's NetCast web-browsing 'widgets', wireless capability for use with various media files or cord-free headphones and four HDMI inputs. It's also lit with LEDs, which, aside from enabling that miraculously slender chassis, provide much more efficient illumination than standard (CCFL) units. It is, of course, full HD, features 100Hz digital scanning and has no fewer than two USB inputs for enjoying video or photos from external sources. Ease of useLG's tile-based design is still our favourite operating system, with an effortlessly intuitive architecture enabling setup and tweaking to be as quick and superficial or as painstakingly exacting as you prefer.
