I researched 36" TVs for many hours on the internet and visited many local retail stores to compare picture quality and features. This JVC's sleek, silver-designed model has the most crisp, clear picture when compared side by side to Toshiba, RCA, and Philips. If you want clearer, you'll have to go to the Flat Screen ($$$$). If you are looking for a great, affordable 36" TV - this one is very versitile, allowing for many picture and sound control options to accommodate most anyone's perferences.

Picture Settings - Low and High color temperature settings in addition to 5 other types of settings - you can set them very precisely to get the picture that best pleases your eye.

Theater Pro - Gives you a clearer, more vibrant picture for watching movies in the dark. For regular cable program viewing I turn this setting OFF and view in STANDARD mode for the results I prefer.

BBE Sound - When ON, this is great for special effects in movies and DVDs - the sound is specatular! However, I have found that turning this feature OFF while "channel surfing" helps tone down the distinct volume differences you hear between channels and during commercials.

Surround Sound - Same comments as above. We have the option to turn it ON/OFF.

If this TV had automatic sound leveling (to ideally tone down those annoyingly LOUD commercials) - I would have given it a 5-star rating. However, I have been able to adjust the bass, treble, BBE, and Surround sound settings to my satisfaction to compensate. I like having so many options to adjust the picture and volume quality just the way I like it. The picture is superior and beats any other make or model in its class. It's a great buy!

i BOUGHT THIS ONE AFTER MY 27" TOOK A DIVE AND I NOW WILL BUY NO OTHER, THE PICTURE IS GREAT AS IS THE SOUND, VERY EASY TO OPERATE AND I HAVE HOOKED UP DVD PLAYER AND VCR, AND HOME THEATER SYSTEM, ALL OF THEM ROUTED THOUGH VIDEO 1 FUNCTION FREEING UP VIDEO'S 2 AND 3, IF YOU THINKING OF BUYING THIS PRODUCT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
