Insignia NS-L42X-10A

The Insignia NS-L42X-10A is a budget-priced, 42-inch LCD television that's sold exclusively by Best Buy. In general, picture quality is competitive with all but the best LCD TVs, but picky viewers might want to look for higher-end alternatives. Some complain that the TV doesn't deliver the deepest blacks, and that light from the backlight makes some dark picture areas look cloudy Additionally, while all LCD TVs lose picture quality if you view them at an angle, the NS-L42X-10A is worse than most in that regard. The extensive two-year warranty is a plus that provides added piece of mind. Although user feedback is impressive, among less-expensive 42-inch LCD TVs, we did see stronger overall recommendations for the LG 42LH30, and that TV is even a bit less expensive.

Though there isn't a ton of feedback out there, ConsumerReports.org does provide a good testing-based review. DigitalTrends.com also weighs in with a report that's heavier on comment, but that's a little on the superficial side. User comments can be found at BestBuy.com.
