Finally, its weight of 28 kg can complicate transport and installation, especially for a single person. Despite these drawbacks, the LG 42PC55 is an interesting choice for those seeking a quick and hassle-free setup thanks to its Plug and Play function. The built-in child safety feature is an added bonus, ensuring a safer environment for families. Overall, this television may suit users looking for a simple and effective audiovisual experience while being aware of the limitations in connectivity and technology.
