Excellent big-screen TV at a reasonable price. June 11, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I couldn't decide whether to give this four or five stars. I decided to go with five because this is a great product with only a few minor set-backs. First the good: A big, smooth picture with excellent sharpness, good skin tones, and vibrant color; loads of inputs on the back plus one on the side.. split screen mode, "pause" function, decent built-in stereo speakers, and a few other goodies make this an excellent buy for such a huge screen.
Now for the hidden faults:
1) Loss of detail in dark areas - This by no means ruins the picture, but it is noticeable on some shows/movies. Very shadowy areas tend to be pools of black at times. This usually isn't an issue though, as dark areas are most likely where the director does NOT want you to be looking. 2) Not-so-quiet fan - This is a projection tv, so it uses a fan to cool of the bulb used to provide light. While this fan is NOT extremely loud - it is noticeable if you have the volume below five, or if you're watching a very quiet scene in a movie. You would think that with the advances in technology these days, they could make a (nearly) silent fan! 3) Sluggish reaction time - Startup is about 20 seconds before you see anything, complete shut down takes almost two minutes due to the fan having to cool off the bulb completely after each viewing, channel switching (up&down) takes a full two seconds, and changing of the inputs is awkwardly slow - the input menu forces you to scroll through the inputs with about a 4-5 second delay between each. 4) Awkward menu screen - The menu screen is text only and is not organized into sub-menus, thus forcing you to scroll through all of the options line-by-line until you reached the desired setting. What were they thinking? 5) Pops & cracks - This is by far the oddest of the bunch. Every now and then (twice a day?), the set will actually pop or crack loudly. This may be due to my tv stand being a few inches too small, but it's a little unnerving. It is a huge structure, so hopefully this will stop once everything finally settles.
In the end, if you can get past its minor quirks, this is still a strong offering from JVC that gives you a big, beautiful picture without breaking the bank.
