A review of the NSLCD42 finds that its a pretty average 40+ inch LCD HDTV. It includes the necessary features that you should look for in a good HDTV like 720p resolution and 1000:1 contrast ratio. You can always find TV’s with better features like 1080p and higher contrast ratio but for the average viewer, this is usually sufficient. If you’re looking for a more impressive flat panel, you’ll definitely have to look at almost doubling your price range. If shopping the budget brands, the Insignia NS-LCD42 should be on your watch list.
