5.0 out of 5 stars Effective 8/2004 this is Consumer Report's 2nd Best Plasma, August 6, 2004

Clearly an amazing set, and second only to the Hitachi which is over TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS more expensive. Best deal in town, people, based on testing by the most recognized non-profit consumer testing organization.

This is an awesome, high quality product and I just bought two! Pay no attention to negative reviews, usually only unhappy consumers comment at all. Excellent plasma television set!

I found an AMAZING wall mounting installer if you need one. My televisions are up and the sound is INCREDIBLE, way better than I expected.

2.0 out of 5 stars Really Bad So Cal Service!, May 29, 2004

By 

David Marquette (La Crescenta, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: JVC PD-42WX84 42" Widescreen HDTV Plasma Television (Electronics)

Poor analog picture quality regardless of source (including component input). Severe solarization from bright or reflective picture content. Spent 5 months trying to have it repaired and now it's worse! HDTV 1080i w/HDCP only works with the Samsung Direct TV Receiver. HDTV/HDCP/DVI compatability a BIG problem! Actual HDTV via DVI input looks good when I finally got it to work! These issues might be the reason that the price for this model have dropped over $1500 in the past 6 months! DON'T BUY JVC! Much better choices out there!
