5.0 out of 5 stars Best value in 1080p, October 3, 2009

I have had this TV for a about 6 weeks. This TV has fantastic color and resolution.
This TV as indeed at "best buy" from a leading consumer magazine. I never considered a JVC
before. My brands were Samsung and Sony. But, after buying this JVC, I have become a big JVC fann.

Everyone who as seen this TV is amazed by the rich colors and excellent resolution.

We use a DirecTV HD box as a source as well as a Panasonic blue-ray player. Both give
perfect colors.

My next project will be to hook this TV up to a Fit-PC2 to create my own, very inexpensive
entertainment center able to play any movie any time.

I do not know what the one negative reviewer was complaining about. You can pay 2x for comparable
TV from Sony or Samsung.

I can't say enough good things about this TV. If you buy it, I am sure you will be happy with it.


The only negative is that the styling is "unique" and takes a bit getting used to. The blue
light accents are a bit weird but, when you match it up with the blue lights on the DirectTV HD
DVR then it actually looks spectacular.

This TV does everything well. Its a well rounded TV that does everything you need it too. The picture is very good but not the best. The features are very good but not the best. You see where I'm going... The sound quality is better than average also. The ipod dock is very slick and tucks away nicely. If you want a set that does everything very good and no flaws this ones for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tv for great price, December 17, 2009

We bought this tv because we have one we bought almsot two years ago and wanted one for our downstairs. Two years ago the tv was double the price we paid for this one and it did not have the ipod dock on it, but it has been great so we knew what we were getting.

In reference to the blue lights across the bottom, I too found it a bit odd but they can be turned to either low or completely off. Just scroll through the menu using the remote and it's fairly easy to find.

Overall, great tv for great price and we are very pleased, enough to buy two of them.
