Enjoy bright, vibrant images from DVD movies and TV programming with the 52-inch JVC HD-52G787 rear-projection microdisplay TV. This D-ILA (Direct drive Image Light Amplifier) set utilizes JVC's exclusive three-color (1280 x 720 pixels) chip technology provides a superior high contrast, flicker-free image that's more natural than other microdisplay technologies. This set features JVC's 5th generation DIST (Digital Image Scaling Technology) with the Genessa 32-bit image processing CPU, which insures faster and more efficient sampling that drastically reduces jagged edges and increases the resolution of any video source. The HD-52G787 in a black cabinet; the HD-52G887 offers the same size and specs, but it comes in a silver cabinet.

The set's built-in ATSC (DTV) tuner pulls HD signals (480p/720p/1080i) right from the airwaves, and its QAM tuner is fully compatible with unscrambled HDTV cable reception. A standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming.

The digital 3D Y/C comb filter (with vertical contour correction) separates brightness and color signals better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion. It performs field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurately separate the color from the black-and-white information and remove both horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl, resulting in a razor sharp image. The Natural Cinema feature performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.

Other features include multiple aspect ratio modes, video noise reduction, color temperature settings, world clock, sleep timer, input labeling, high-speed channel changer, and V-Chip parental controls.

The front-firing speakers produce 10 watts of power per channel for 20 watts of total power. Other audio features include MTS stereo/Dolby Digital processing, virtual surround sound, advanced tone correction, and MaxxBass capability. It offers the following connection options:

• Composite AV (RCA): 4 in
• S-Video: 2 in
• Component video: 2 in
• HDMI: 2 in
• PC VGA: 1 in
• RF: 1 in
• Audio output: 1 analog out

Tech Talk
Microdisplay, also referred to as LCoS, which stands for Liquid Crystal on Silicon, is a hybrid projection TV technology that sandwiches a layer of liquid crystal between a cover glass and a highly reflective surface patterned with pixels that sits on top of a micro-sized silicon chip.

HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. It provides up to a 5 GB per second bandwidth for transmitting pure digital video and audio signals with no degradation in the transfer. It can carry up to eight discrete audio channels, making it compatible with 7.1-channel surround sound systems. Signals are encrypted with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to prevent recording. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with most DVI connections.

Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

4.0 out of 5 stars JVC Good But Beware, September 29, 2006

Nice TV and a great Amazon price but beware--if you lose power for a second or unplug TV all your settings will go back to DEFAULT--not too thrilling when you have 4-5 inputs with different color, tint, etc. Had to buy an $80 back-up battery surge supressor to remedy that problem.
