Last week, Techradar reviewed the 42SL9000 and awarded the TV five stars out of five, claiming “LG’s brilliant new LED TV heralds ‘borderless’ era.”

LG’s 42SL9000 42-inch LCD TV might well come to be remembered as one of the sets that put LED backlighting firmly on the map…This chic 42-inch set is decked out in an elegant ‘frameless’ design and comes with the sort of spec sheet that should have home movie fans instinctively reaching for their wallets.

The review discusses features such as the full HD panel, the 100Hz processing, the Bluetooth connectivity, the four HDMI ports, and the LED backlighting. The review refers to the colours as “exemplary” , the interface as “brilliant” and adds that LG manages to exceed expectations in terms of the amount of volume at the consumer’s disposal.

The article concludes…

The 42SL9000 is one of the most imaginatively featured sets around at the moment. It’s a state-of-the-art panel spec, has class-leading processing and an impressively effective LED backlighting system, plus all sorts of genuinely useful touches such as Bluetooth connectivity and one of the best operating systems ever. Detail and colours are superb, black levels are good and the whole is wrapped up in a super stylish cabinet.
