Strengths: Value, HDMI, Motionmax technology

Weaknesses: Light spill over, Remote control

The Kogan 42-inch Full HD 1080p LCD TV is an ideal choice for those of you who seek a little extra for a little less cost. The swivel base and thick border panels reduce the elegance quotient of the model. It has a respectable 1920 x 1080 resolution which provides satisfying high quality images. The Widescreen TFT- LCD display panel from Kogan delivers amazing high contrast images with progressive scan option up to 1080p.

The model supports a 100 Hz refresh rate which is on par with the latest HD panels. Signal processing consists of four different modes- dynamic, mild, standard and user configurable and goes by the name Motionmax technology.

The screen features full High-Definition (HD) support with an inbuilt HD digital tuner which removes the need for an additional set top box. It also features a HDMI input which allows HD input from devices like PlayStation 3 and Blu-ray DVD players. The screen’s utility is extended with its ability to be doubled up as a computer monitor.

One of the major concerns in the model is the presence of some light spill over from the top visible during visuals with a black background. However, affordability rules roost and makes the Kogan 1080p 42-inch one of the best deals available.
