First up you need to know the technical terminology associated with 42 inch flat screen or wide screen TVs.  So here goes – HD is short for High definition Television. It basically means that all modern TVs will have clearer and sharper images. Terms that mean the same thing include HD ready TV, High Def TV,  full HD TV or HDTV.  99% of all new TVs on sale in the UK have this feature included, so you don’t need to worry about it.  1080p means 1080 pixels, and is the standard for 42 inch flat screen TV. LCD and Plasma are slightly different technologies that both fit under the category “flat screen TV”, but they offer the same results. For all intensive purpose, it won’t matter whether you have a 42 inch plasma or a 42 inch lcd TV.
Not that the jargon is out of the way, let’s move on to finding the best brand of 42 inch flatscreen TV.  Popular brands include Sony, Philips, LG, Toshiba, Samsung and Panasonic.
