The LG Electronics 42PQ12 and 50PQ12 models represent a significant advancement in plasma display technology, specifically designed for home entertainment and commercial use. Known for their vivid picture quality and robust build, these models are ideal for viewers seeking immersive audio-visual experiences.

One of the standout features of both the 42PQ12 and the 50PQ12 is their impressive display resolution.
