The Insignia NS-LCD42HD is a 42 inch, Full-HD LCD flat panel. It falls in line with Insignia’s NS-LCD line except for one key feature, the 1080p resolution which is the highest possible resolution available. Many television channels don’t broadcast in 1080p yet but other high definition sources like HD DVD, Blu-Ray and PlayStation 3 will be displayed at their full capabilities. The Insignia NSLCD42HD is a very simple looking HDTV with a charcoal gray and black exterior. The speakers are rear mounted on the NS-LCD42HD which reduces the width of widescreen HDTV’s. At under $1100, the NSLCD42HD is one of the cheaper Full HD (1080p) flat panels on the market today.

A review of the Insignia NS-LCD42HD shows that it is packed with features. Insignia has a very similar 42 inch LCD HDTV that we previously reviewed (NS-LCD42 review) and is $200 less but missing the 1080p resolution. The contrast ratio has also been improved to create a sharper and bright image. If you’re looking for a Full HD flat panel at a very reasonable price, we recommend checking out the NSLCD42HD.
YouReviewElectronics.com gives the NS-LCD42HD 8/10 stars!
