42" BORDERLESS™ Design Full HD LCD TV with Bluetooth
What is BORDERLESS™?
At LG, we believe it is the limitless freedom to see things in a whole new way - the same design philosophy we adopted in creating the BORDERLESS™ range of premium televisions.
Where we took a single sheet of glass and crafted it into something more, a television that represents the new standard in its class.
One certain to become a design icon that will be talked about for years to come.
With borderless freedom comes endless connectivity. Sync your entertainment with Bluetooth, DivX, USB, and more.
The result? A BORDERLESS™ television that stands out among its kind, to become the defining centerpiece of your living room.
Just as it was designed to do.

TruMotion 200Hz
LG TruMotion 200hz is different from other 200hz technologies. Others use an interpolation system which creates "new frames" between each true frame. These interpolated frames are the TV’s best guess as to what should appear. LG TruMotion 200hz uses a different approach with frame insertion plus scanning backlight technology. By flashing on and off, the backlight produces actual black frames between true frames and inserted frames and therefore reduces motion blur, increasing sharpness and improving contrast level in dark scenes.

24p Real Cinema
Unlike TV broadcasts, blockbuster movies are filmed at 24 frames per second. Blu-ray and HD-DVD movies also preserve this original 24fps. With conventional TV’s one frame is displayed 3 times, the next twice and then three times again, this can sometimes have an adverse judder effect on the movie With LG Real Cinema every frame is consistently processed 5 times in 1/24 of a second producing 120 fps (or 120Hz), thus totally eliminating the judder effect. Now you can enjoy the same picture quality as the director originally intended.

Invisible Speaker
Wide Sweet Spot. The front bezel works as a speaker, replacing the normal speaker grill. With the Invisible Speaker system, the speakers are embedded in strategic spots underneath and around the front bezel. They enhance the audio by increasing the ‘sweet spot’ to give a wider and richer sound field. This new speaker system provides a clean and fashionable design compared with traditional side or bottom speaker designs.

Full HD 1080p Resolution
Able to display 1080p pictures, like those found on Blu-ray disc. 1080p means 1,080 horizontal lines are used to create your TV picture.

AV Mode
LG TVs have 3 special preset AV Modes which provide the best suitable image quality and sound for specific types of content. They are easily accessible using the AV MODE hot key on the remote control.

Expert Mode
LG TVs have a brand new Expert Mode feature, which allows advanced users to optimise the image to a level not previously possible. You can make up to 25 more fine adjustments than TVs typically allow The Expert Mode menu has been fully approved by the Image Science Foundation (ISF), an international organisation specialising in image quality calibration, There are also two preset options of ISF-DAY and ISF-NIGHT which have already been tuned specially by ISF.
