The JVC LT-46DZ7 from JVC’s DZ/Z series is a 46-inch LCD HDTV which supports 720p, 1080i all the way up to 1080p offering a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Interestingly enough, the HD inputs on this set do not support 1080p, but rather take the 1080i signal and convert the signal to 1080p, this will be fine for 90% of people, but for HD enthusiasts it might not be. Inputs include 2x HDMI, component, VGA PC input, 2x Scart, also featured is an internal digital tuner with a CI slot for adding subscription channels.
TrustedReviews have taken a look at the JVC LT-46DZ7 and say, DIST works supremely well, standard definition looks much sharper than it does normally on a full HD TV, and crucially the extra detailing is added without seemingly adding significant amounts of noise or other yucky side effects. The noise reduction routines do their work well too, provided you don’t set them too high.
JVC’s 46DZ7 full HD debut gets so many things right that we have no doubt the brand will one day – probably fairly soon – turn in a truly outstanding full HD TV. But for now there are just enough concerns about a couple of common LCD flaws to leave the 46DZ7 as a good TV rather than a great one.
The market for 32-inch HDTVs is very competitive as the 32-inch screen size is in high demand. The JVC LT-32DG8 is a relatively cheap 32-inch LCD screen (at £600, $1,200) with a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, 1,200:1 contrast ratio, and a brightness of 500 cd/m2. The LT-32DG8 has an integrated digital TV tuner, and a decent enough selection of inputs including, 2x HDMI, 1x component, 2x scart, but unfortunately there is no VGA PC input.
Cnet UK have reviewed the JVC LT-32DG8 and say, digital programmes are solid and stable, with reasonable detail and rich colours. The LT-32DG8 has a bright picture that suits the harsh studio lighting used in daytime TV programmes — but the backlight needs toning down to deepen black levels if you’re watching anything else.
High-definition performance is impressive for the price, without being exceptional enough to trouble the best models from the likes of Sony and Panasonic. JVC’s LT-32DG8 is an affordable entry-level LCD with a pretty standard specification for the money.
Performance is reasonably impressive, especially if you’re using high-definition sources. Since this is such a competitive market, however, you can get slighly better performance for around the same cost with models such as Sharp’s Aquos LC32GD8E or Panasonic’s Viera TX-32LMD70.
JVC have added four new 1080p “Full HD” LCD HDTV to their line up under their 688 Series and 788 Series. The slightly lower end the 688 series includes a 37-inch LT-37X688 and 42-inch LT-42X688 models with an all black gloss finish. Then the higher 788 series has a 42-inch LT-42X788 and larger 47-inch LT-47X788 models, also black with an added silver trim and ultra thin bezel.
Although these four HDTVs come from two different series, they are piratically identical, with exception to the outer design finish. All four boast the top of the line 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution for 1080p Full HD formats along with JVC’s D.I.S.T. upcoverting engine technology which upconverts all lower quality image signals to full 1080p to make use all all the available pixels these monsters have.
To ensure the best possible picture, the new sets feature JVC’s Genessa chip, a 32-bit CPU processor that combines all image processing, noise reduction and color management technologies together onto a single chip for more efficient communication, and thus better performance. Genessa includes JVC’s Motion Adaptive Dynamic Gamma control, an algorithm that preserves tonal details and gradations in dark areas so that the image doesn’t appear muddy.
All four sets offer a full complement of inputs – two HDMI v1.3 inputs, two component inputs, three composite inputs, three AV inputs, an S-Video input, and optical digital audio out, and a fixed audio out.
For HD program reception, all four sets include a built-in ATSC tuner for receiving over-the-air digital terrestrial broadcasts and a Clear QAM tuner for receiving unscrambled digital cable signals.
Look out for the 688 series in June, where the LT-37X688 will sell for $1,599, and the LT-42X688 for $1,999.
The 788 series will be available a month later in July, the LT-42X788 will cost $2,099, and the LT-47X788 $2,699
JVC are not best known for their more budget HDTV prices, with some of the most expensive models on the market, so it’s a nice surprise to see the JVC LT-26DA8BJ 26-inch LCD HDTV at a nice price. 26-inch is probably on the smaller end of a lounge TV but a great size for other places. The LT-26DA8BJ costs roughly £425 which is a decent price for a HDTV this size, offering a good look and build. The 26-inch LCD offers a 1366×768 pixel resolution for 720p and 1080i HD formats with a contrast ratio of 1200:1, and features two HDMI inputs, component, 2x scart and various outputs.
TrustedReviews have reviewed the JVC LT-26DA8BJ and say, the set’s fine detailing talents are simply superb, reproducing every last pixel of HD sources with confidence, accuracy and an almost complete absence of such accompanying noise as dot crawl or grain.
Second, during bright, colourful scenes where the set doesn’t have to struggle through its black level problems, it’s noticeable how spectacularly vibrant and well saturated its colours can be. Another point worth mentioning given that we’re still far from living in a fully HD age is the LT26DA8BJ’s impressive handling of standard definition.
You’ve got to applaud JVC for making both its LCD technology and its DynaPix processing system as affordable as it has in the JVC LT-26DA8BJ.
The JVC LT-42DA8BJ is a 42-inch LCD at a budget price mark for it’s size. Giving you a few extra inches at the cost of a typical 32 or 37-inch LCD HDTV. The LT-42DA8BJ can be found for around £800 ($1600) which is a very nice price for a screen of this size, offering a resolution of 1366 x 720 pixels for 720p and 1080i HD formats, 1000:1 contrast ratio and 500cd/m2 brightness.
Connection wise the LT-42DA8BJ’s inputs are good, offering two HDMI inputs, 2x RBG scart, component and composite, unfortunately there is no VGA PC input, but if you have DVI on your computer or media center you can use a DVI-HDMI adapter.
The JVC LT-42DA8BJ features an internal analog tuner and digital freeview tuner which includes a 8-day programme guide. Cnet UK have reviewed the LT-42DA8BJ and say they pleased to see 42-inch TVs on the market for such a sensible price. If you want a big screen, but don’t have the inclination (or wallet) to spend a lot of money, the JVC LT-42DA8BJ may very well suit you.
JVC have announced their new P Series range of LCD HDTVs which all feature an iPod dock. The iPod dock on the JVC P Series is called the iPod TeleDock, which flips downs at the base of the set, which provides a direct connection allowing playback of both video and audio through the HDTV. It will also change the iPod while the set is off and playback can be controlled by the clickwheel type TV remote and menu screens.
Available as a 720p resolution 32-inch JVC LT-32P679, or a as a full HD 1080p panel on the JVC LT-42P789 (42-inch), JVC LT-47P789 (47-inch) or as the very large 52-inch JVC LT-52P789.
