LG 42LC2RR 'Time Machine' LCD HDTV

06 Jan, 2007, 12:34 pm IST | Gagan Gupta | LCD LCD

All this is great, but being the geek that I am, I can't help but nitpick about the lack of possibilities. Firstly LG could have made the hard drive accessible to the user instead of locking it up deep inside the TV. Either that or give the user a way to access the hard drive inside the TV through his PC, so he could back up the unseen recorded shows in case he runs out of space. Instead you're stuck with an non-replaceable (unless by a technician), non-expandable hard drive that limits your recording time.

The panel design is pretty-much simple and straightforward. The black glossy iPod-like texture in the frame is highly prone to fingerprints and smudges, unless you have your faithful manservant cleaning it up every few minutes. The in-built stereo speakers are placed right below the screen, and as one can expect, they're just there for the basic 'vanilla' sound. If you can afford this TV, you can definitely afford a good Hi-Fi sound system to go with it.

The 42LC2RR supports two component inputs, two S-Video inputs, composite, HDMI, VGA and an RF in, which kind of, covers up everything you can throw at it.

The remote functions as a universal controller. Besides controlling just the TV and recording function, it can also handle your DVD player, VCR, and audio system.
