Energy Guide With HD 1080p resolution and SimpLink (HDMI CEC), the 42LK520 42" LCD TV from LG Electronics lets you tap into the virtual limitless possibilities of accessing movies, shows and info direct from the Internet. The 42LK520 yields images that truly show off any source material, be it Blu-ray movies, broadcast and cable TV, or video games. LG's proprietary technologies also ensure that whatever you're watching comes across in rich, detailed color. The 42LK520 TV's high contrast ratio and low response time make the unit capable of being the centerpiece in any home entertainment system.

The TV comes with a full complement of inputs for components which you may have or may get in the future. The 42LK520 includes three HDMI and two component inputs for high-definition devices, as well as composite for legacy devices and a PC input which lets you use the set as a computer monitor. The USB input allows you to display photo slideshows and share MP3 audio files with your friends. In addition, the built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners receive virtually all available local digital and analog programs. Not only does the 42LK520 42" LCD TV look good when you turn it on, but its glossy black cabinet complements any decor.

Less Blur. More Action
TruMotion 120Hz technology lets you see sports, video games and high-speed action with virtually no motion blur. Now your TV can keep up with your fast-moving entertainment
Energy Star Qualified
Earning the Energy Star means a product meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. For TVs, it means they save energy both in standby and active (when they're on) modes. Energy Star qualified TVs use about 30% less energy than standard units
View It In The Right Light

Settings are added to preset modes for easy access from your LG remote

    Comments about LG Electronics 42LK520 42" LCD TV:

    I brought the monitor for home/office use for both a PS3 entertainment center and as an additional monitor for my Mac computers. It works great for the gaming and movie watching. As an external monitor I am happy with its quality for the price I paid. It does make movies look more like video that other displays i.e. a projector.
