Advantages: Amazing picture in both SD (the one you will watch the most) and HD (where it will blow you away) Disadvantages: Not 1080p... Can you live without it?

This is a great TV for the money. A 42" HD plasma TV for under £500 may sound like it may have a number of serious drawbacks that would rule it out as a purchase but if you can ignore the fact that it is not a 1080p set then it makes perfect sense.
I was in the market for a new TV and my choices were, considering my budget, restricted to a full HD 32" LCD set or a 42" plasma set but not 1080p. I auditioned a number of the 32" sets and ruled them out as full HD on a screen that size is irrelevant. Many of them really struggled to give a watchable picture when displaying standard definition. Given that, like most people, SD is what I will be watching most, you really need a set that does this well. The LG set did this the best out of all of the larger plasma panels I considered so I bought one.
It handles SD very, very well and thanks to it's 600hz technology you can apply noise filters to the picture (to do away with the digital aspecting that plagues HD sets when displaying SD) without the blurring, smearing or flickering that this usually brings.
As this is a plasma TV the colours are very sharp and with a much higher contrast ratio than LCD TVs. I played an old laserdisc player through it and (why, I do not know) as it was almost unwatchable on a 32" LCD panel as the blacks were just darker shades of grey but the higher contrast ratio of the plasma set really nailed them. This dead old format is very nearly watchable again. Upscaled DVDs look very nice on it and make you dig out your old collection to re-watch again.
On the other end of the scale there HD sources and here the set really shines, literally. Running a PS3 through it either gaming or for Bluray movies just shows how good this set is. It is what it was made for. Xbox 360 stuff through component is also a wonder to behold. The HD-DVD of Bladerunner was a revelation ( I obviously like my dead formats) as it is a very dark film but the darkness was very much alive thanks to the higher contrast ratio of plasma.
I have my PC running through it and it does make a very good monitor. It does take a bit of tweaking to get the best out of it but it is well worth the effort.
As you can see this set does not lack for inputs so I cannot fault it for that but it would have been nice to have an audio out but never mind. Other niggles that stop this set getting a 5 star from me include the obvious lack of 1080p resolution but it this price range it is to be expected and it is not really missed given the overall picture quality otherwise. The glass screen can be very reflective and requires careful positioning to avoid glare. My first set had a dead pixel just right of the centre of the screen. If I wasn't using it as a PC monitor I would not have noticed it but I was and I did and once you see these things you will always see them.
Overall this is a fantastic set and if you can live without it being a full HD panel (believe me, you can) then it makes a fantastic choice for your new TV. Buy this set, you won't regret it.

Advantages: Good Size, HD Ready Disadvantages: None
Recently bought this tv, not had a single problem yet, I felt that at first the tv could produce a better picture than it was doing, so i switched my virgin media box from an av connection to hdmi connection, and the picture is fantastic now, I have also done this with my playstation 3 and now the picture is, in my eyes, perfect! The size of the screen also means its perfect for your main tv in the living room, without being too big or too small! ...
