I jumped on this deal a few days ago and received the monitor today. I was upgrading from the Westinghouse LVM-37w3s, which I bought just a few months ago.
Whereas the 37-inch blew me away immediately, I'm having more difficulty feeling impressed with the 42. Text doesn't feel nearly as sharp to me, and no matter what fooling around I do with contrast/brightness/backlight, I haven't yet gotten it to my liking. I almost feel like I can see the separate R/G/B colors on some nominally black text ... my guess would be that quite simply, the panel itself is of a lower quality than the one used in the 37-inch (which would make sense as I've paid same price for both).
Definitely not giving up on it yet, but have to admit I'm kinda disappointed so far.
