Attractive, low-priced model disappoints on TV quality, but it would make a solid conference room monitor.

Relatively inexpensive; capable of producing reasonably deep blacks; accurate color decoding with no red push; clean video processing with 2:3 pull-down; PC input; distinctive look.
Extremely blue color temperature that cannot be adjusted; some false-contouring artifacts in dark scenes; no picture-in-picture; limited connectivity with just one DVI and no HDMI inputs.
While the AOC A42HD84 is one of the most-affordable 42-inch plasmas on the market, its sparse features and inaccurate color makes it less of a value.
