AOC A42HD84 Review


AOC may not be a name you have heard of before, but does it mean AOC can’t make a good HDTV?. The AOC A42HD84 is a stylish black 42-inch plasma HDTV at an affordable price, PC World has a review of the A42HD84 and says the A42HD84 did a respectable job of showing details on our HDTV tests, but many jurors found its colors–reds and greens in particular–weak and off-putting. Many jurors also complained of a soft, pale picture on most tests. These three trends continued on our DVD tests, particularly with the minute details and colours of racing jerseys in Seabiscuit. The A42HD84’s weakest point was its rendering of standard-definition content, which produced ghostly skin tones.

With its ease of use, so-so TV image quality and DVI input, the A42HD84 seems better suited to a conference room than to a living room.
