HDTVtest also has a system to recommend a HDTV based on your viewing habits for the  important entry level HDTV they recommend the LG 42PG6000 42 Inch Plasma TV which we have on offer.

The LG 42PG6000 42 inch plasma television should make the shortlist of anyone looking to acquire a flat screen HDTV for less than £600. the LG 42PG6000  has  a “frameless” design which scooped up the “Best Of Innovation” award at CES 2008 in Las Vegas,

The 42PG6000 is currently just £555 here. This is a great TV for general TV viewing how ever if you play a lot of Games via your XBOX 360, Wii or PS3 a LCD HDTV like the Samsung 40 Inch 1080p LCD TV here may be better suited.

The first question is about what size TV you are looking for, you have four choices here, small, medium, large and super large for +47 inch HDTV. This question more or less decides what the final suggestion will be.

Then you are asked what will be the primarily plan to use your HDTV, five choices here, with options ranging from movies to PC monitors.

Third question is a rather strange one, but according to LG is very important to improve your viewing experience, in this question you are asked as to what viewing receiver you will connect you LG HDTV to, again five choices here, you can choose from Sky HD, Sky +, Virgin Cable and even Analogue TV.

Fourth question doesn’t really influence much on the final result so we’ll skip that one. On the fifth question LG asks you how many HDMI sockets do you need, if you chosen smaller sized HDTVs you options are limited to two choices, with bigger sizes you will have four choices to choose from.

Sixth and Seventh question are rather similar because you are asked if intend in connecting a Blu-ray player or a high definition gaming console.

And finally for the eighth and final question LG asks if you intend on wall mounting your LG HDTV.

This is a pretty neat TV Guide by LG, but in my opinion LG missed out a really important question. LG forgot to ask what type of HDTV you are looking for Plasma or LCD.

Personal video recorders, which combine a Freeview digital tuner with the ability to pause, rewind and record live television, are especially popular, with one million devices being sold from January to march 2009 alone.

The Telegraph report that there are now almost nine million PVRs in UK homes, five million of which are Sky+ boxes, 2.6 million are Freeview recorders, and the rest are comprised of BT Vision, Virgin Media V+ and Top Up TV set-top boxes.

It means that most homes in the UK are ready for the digital switch over in 2012 and several areas of the country have already had their analogue service disconnected and are now digital-only.

Are you part of the 90% who have already made the switch over or are you still holding on to the traditional analogue??

If you are up-to-date then the new digital TV channels can look pretty impressive on an LCD or Plasma Television, particularly if its in HD.
