HD TV	Full HD 1080p
‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing.

Some products come with built-in DVD players or Blu Ray players.

Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky.

Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
Number of scart ports	1
Scart sockets are places where you can connect other devices to your TV. If you already have a DVD player, a VCR and a Playstation you might want to make sure your new TV has enough Scart interfaces so you don’t have to keep crawling round the back of the TV.

TVs with internet capability allow you access to a range of online services.
Frequency (Hz)	600
A TV’s frequency is how often the picture is updated per second, and is measured in Hertz (Hz). A higher frequency, such as 100 Hz, means that a TV is more likely to show fast-moving images with high detail.

This is a ratio of the horizontal to the vertical size of the screen. 16:9 is standard widescreen format for TVs, replacing the older 4:3 format.
Contrast Ratio (X:1)	3000000
This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
Horizontal resolution (Pixels)	102.4

Vertical resolution (Pixels)	768

Brightness (Candela per square metre)	1500

Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the LG 42PJ350

What connectivity does this TV have other than the HDMI and USB?

How many (if any) component, composite, audio in/out connections?

Elliot asked on 18 Nov 2010
1. It has enough connections that you will need, l'm sure the retailer will let you read the instruction book and look at the set. Everyone that comes to visit me is envious of the set and l can honestly say that it is the best TV that l have ever had. LG have made great strides to improve their products and l have no complaints only good viewing and would reccomend this product to anyone.
  
  Maurice replied on 21 Nov 2010
2. on the back of the set is 2 scart sockets, 2 computer connections, 2 optical connections, and phono connections for video and audio + 1 HDMI. On the side of the set is 1 HDMI + phone video connections hope this helps. TV is great by the way
  
  Gary replied on 14 Mar 2011

howard asked on 16 Dec 2010
1. l don't know, l had no intention to wall mount my TV l took it and remote from box and put it on table l already had for it, saying that l didn't check what else was in box. Worth buying though a very good TV
  
  Maurice replied on 19 Dec 2010
2. I dont rember seeing any only those for stand. I think the wall mounts come with necessary bolts but you would have to check whichever one you are looking at
  
  Gary replied on 20 Dec 2010

  M replied on 08 Mar 2011
we dont understand this hd is this set already to go or do we have to buy another box for HD?

glynys asked on 15 Mar 2011
1. Well we don't use it for HD as only have normal Sky+ but we were lead to believe that the tv is ready to accept HD programmes so therefore you shouldn't have to do anything.
  
  Tracey replied on 16 Mar 2011
