Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy bright, vibrant images from DVD movies and TV programming with the 52-inch JVC HD-52G887 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-52G887 in a silver cabinet; the HD-52G787 offers the same size and specs, but it comes in a black 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.

By	K. Lewis - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Impressive TV....Great Price...Just a remarkably good deal..I have a PS3 and the games look better on this than my Samsung 42 LCD hdtv..The colors are warmer and smoother. My LCD makes it too bright and annoying. I must admit this TV is great.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first HDTV and I love it!!!, October 9, 2007

By	Ryan Calderara "smart buyer" (Newburgh, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been researching alot over the internet the past few months for my first ever hdtv. At first I wanted to get an LCD and I've been looking at the big names like Sony, Samsung, Sharp etc, but even their 32 in. size hdtv's were over $1500! I came across this JVC HD52G887 and it had everything I wanted. It is a hd set. It has a atsc/qam tuner, It's 52 inches! It's under a 1000 dollars!!! This set is DLP which means it is projection, it's not flat in the back. When I got it home it was so easy to hook up. I plugged it in, plugged the cable connection into the back, plugged my xbox 360 and Wii into the back. I love it. I am using my standard Time Warner cable connection to this and It still looks really good! The 360 looks SO good on this set!!! The Wii on the other hand is not too pretty, although I'm not using component cables for it which I heard could help a little. The wii was not meant to look its best in 52" hd. The instruction booklet for the tv is pretty thourough. I followed the step by step of instructions of setting it up and had it working with my cable box in about 5 minutes out of the box. The remote is decent with many features including split screen, freeze, and an input button which easily let's you switch between tv mode and the different video modes that you are using your game systems for. Overall I couldn't be happier, and recommend this set to everyone!
