4.0 out of 5 stars Great picture, September 17, 2008

I purchased the LT47P789 a couple days ago. I upgraded from the VP322- 32" plasma.
I thought the plasma had a good HD picture until I put them side by side. There really is a big difference in richness and quality between the 2 pictures. The plasma seems to have a dull film over the picture with colors not as true or vivid including blacks. There is also a difference in detail such as face imperfections that are clearly picked up on the 1080 versus the 720 plasma.
For comparison I used a Gefen tv splitter 1:4 that takes the HDMI cable from my Dish Network receiver and splits it to 4-HDMI displays. The Gefen splitters are a little pricey but they also split the audio correctly including lip sync pass through.
2 x 10 watt Speakers provide decent sound and are not tinny like on the plasma. A would recommend a surround sound system for true theater feel however.
I see little to no motion blur while watching sports in HD. Its comparable with the plasma. The tv also has the ipod docking station that I have yet to try.

The cons I see with the LT47P789 is it does a poor job with SD 480i signals. The plasma also did a poor job. The 480p progressive scan dvd player looks very good however.
Hopefully we will have all HD channels in the near future.


Just a note the factory settings were actually not that good for my taste when I got the tv.
After doing some adjusting I ended up with: video status-dynamic, tint-45, color-68, picture-54, bright- 52, detail-25, back light-100, color temp-cool.

This review is from: JVC LT47P789 47-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with iPod TeLEDock (Electronics)

I agree with the other reviews posted here. The picture quality is excellent. I have mine wall mounted fairly close to a large window that receives late afternoon sun, yet glare is not a problem.

I like the USB camera dock for my Kodak digital camera and love the iPod dock on the front. It is easy to watch MP4 video or listen to my MP3 songs. One more neat thing is the blue light that is part of the iPod dock. It's a great night light and you can actually control how bright it is or shut it off. Nice touch JVC!

I do have three minor complaints however. There is no way to even out the sound when those annoyingly loud commercials come on and there is no way to bring up a picture in picture if you would like to watch something but say keep your eye on some type of sports. Also all of the main component plug-ins are located high up on the rear of the set so you can't plug anything in once the set is hung on a wall. My advice is to stick a few wires on the back just in case you need them later.

Other than that this is a beautiful set for the money.

I had this TV for two years. Now after it's on for 10 minutes the screen dies. I turn it off and it on the and screen comes back on for only 10 minutes a time. I thought it was only my TV turns out it's common with JVC tv's.
