Found this TV at Circuit City for 799 (sale is now over). I have had the TV for a week. I also have a 50 Samsung Plasma, both on HD. The JVC has a better picture on both regular and HD channels. I like the Ipod feature. You need to play with the sound equalizer to get the best quality out of an Ipod without a sound system. Ipod video is fair.

Pros: Picture quality - HD and SD, integration of Ipod, sound is above avg from built in speakers (after tweaking settings).

Cons: Remote does not completely control DVR cable box, manual not clear on initial connection setting particularly for component cables on accessories (requires using the remote in a way that is not obvious).

I would buy this TV again.

The TV is great...on its own. I am totally impressed with the TV. I have to confess the Ipod Teleport is not that great, at least to me. You can't toggle playlists and you can't listen to the Ipod in TV mode. To switch playlists you have to manually do that on the ipod. I think this is a seriously flaw. Who the heck wants to have to walk up and toggle to switch playlists. Also your play list will not show up on the screen so you have to push forward to get to other songs. As I write this, I am higly disappointed with the Ipod function. If you are buying for this reason, please don't. If you are buying this for the TV, then ok. But the Ipod dock SHOULD NOT be your determing factor.

Great Picture with 1080p & 1080i the 480 is just as good as the others, I also have a samsung 40" and a sharp 42" and for the price 1095.00 and free shipping its a better tv. I gave it a 4 star because I have not tried the ipod docking station.

Best LCD TV I have owned by far. I have had top rated Sharp and others and this tops them all. Clear pic and feature packed. I love the IPOD dock. Quick power up and quiet fast shut down. Very user freindly remote. Plenty of inputs.

Was a great TV till the other day....With no warning it just stop working. Had a repair man come out said it would cost between 500 to 600 hundred to fix it...was the circuit borad, had it only 17 months

TV is OK. It could not received digital channels due to its quality problem. It had be returned to seller. The seller is good for customer service.

I bought this particular model and after one week, it's power source malfunctioned. JVC would not honor the warranty. The person on the phone almost blamed me for buying their product (exact words: "You should have recognized the risk before purchasing.") After scouting as many repair shops as I could, the cheapest I could find was $600 for parts and labor.
