Bradicus (Lakewood, CA)

I purchased this HDTV in November 2007. I opened it and set it up in December 2007. The picture quality is nice. Although, after a few days of use. I noticed 2 pixels were burnt out on the panel. It also appeared that the panel was brighter on the right side than the left side. I am very particular. I contacted JVC corporate and an authorized JVC repair specialist was approved and sent out within a few days. He performed some tests and it turned out there were a total of 5 pixels burnt out on the panel. JVC agreed to replace the panel, evidently only because 2 of the burnt out pixels were right next to each other. The replacement panel was shipped in an expeditious manner and installed professionally. Unlike the first, this panel is evenly bright on both sides. However, a day after installation. I discovered one pixel on the new panel was burnt out. As a loyal purchaser of JVC products, I am a bit disappointed. But overall, I am happy with this LCD TV.

I purchased this JVC TV in May, 07, and it worked fine for 9 months, when all of a sudden the channels stopped operating. The local JVC authorized dealer has had this TV in the shop for warranty repairs for over 3 weeks now. First they ordered a new digital panel, which was backordered from JVC for 2 weeks. Once they tested the TV with the new digital panel, they discovered it need an analog panel - guess what - it's also backordered... I am so frustrated; I will NEVER buy another JVC product.

We had this TV for 5 months. The best feature was the USB reader that we could use to see pictures without hooking up the camera. However, the USB reader was broken in the 2nd week. We can't use it anymore. The picture quality is very good with DVD. We hook up the TV to cable and have the basic HD channels. The picture quality on the HD channels are good, but not excellent. We can see the dots on the screen. We were comparing the JVC with the Toshiba Regza. The Toshiba had better picture quality, better contrast. The only thing I didn't like about the Toshiba is the shiny frame. And JVC has matt finish. This set also doesn't have a Contrast selection. Overall JVC is a good TV since JVC is a part of Panasonic.

This 42" LCD HD TV seems to be a great product, although I really cant tell about the picture clearity right now as I dont have HD, just digital satalite. But is easy to operate, looks great and has a bright picture.

This TV is fabulous. Awesome picture, awesome sound. Looks great too!
LCD screen is a great improvement as lights/windows don't show up in it like a normal tv. Couldn't beat the price when I purchased with free shipping and no tax. Quite a bargain. [[ASIN:B000OCQ4PY JVC LT-42E488 42" 720p Flat Panel LCD HDTV]

We purchased this JVC 42" to use as a bedroom television. Delivery was on time and the product arrived with no damage. Initial power on showed no dead pixels or any obvious problems. Black levels are not as good as my new Samsung but black levels were certainly acceptable. I did notice some "ghosting" on the sides during a completely black transition (e.g. during a break from a commercial or dead air time). However, the ghosting was not apparent during normal television viewing. Sound quality is good and has plenty of volume for noisy areas. The unit takes about 10-15 seconds to power up when initially turned on, which is normal. This JVC delivers better picture quality on standard definition television programming but since it is 720p, it obviously cannot compare to some of the newer 1080p sets when viewing true HD content.
Overall, if you're looking for a reasonably priced flat panel as a second unit, this is a good buy. I shopped the $600-$1400 price range and at $799, this was a good buy.
