5 Stars JVC LT-42P300
I was particular impressed with the service .

I am pleased with the set .I use FIOES and the set up was a bit involved ,probably those who have no experience would not be able to set it up .

3 Stars Should have checked the features….
A leading consumer magazine listed this as a Best Buy. And I desperately needed a TV. So I bought it. It’s okay, I guess, but I should have investigated a little more in a store. Compared to my old (dead) Sharp Aquos, here’s what I’m missing:

1) PIP

2) Too much reflected light from windows

3) Whenever the source is changed, it *always* defaults to a view mode that only shows 95% of the available image. I *always* have to switch the view mode to the “right” one. No way to set a different default.

That’s it. Only using it with a PS3 (blue-ray DVD + games) and PC. But it’s not dead, at least.

5 Stars Love it so far
We have only had it a few weeks. So far we really, really, love it. The picture is perfect.

It was easy to set up. But mostly we LOVE have the ipod doc with it. !!!!

5 Stars Best value in 1080p
I have had this TV for a about 6 weeks. This TV has fantastic color and resolution.

This TV as indeed at “best buy” from a leading consumer magazine. I never considered a JVC

before. My brands were Samsung and Sony. But, after buying this JVC, I have become a big JVC fann.

Everyone who as seen this TV is amazed by the rich colors and excellent resolution.

We use a DirecTV HD box as a source as well as a Panasonic blue-ray player. Both give

perfect colors.

My next project will be to hook this TV up to a Fit-PC2 to create my own, very inexpensive

entertainment center able to play any movie any time.

I do not know what the one negative reviewer was complaining about. You can pay 2x for comparable

TV from Sony or Samsung.

I can’t say enough good things about this TV. If you buy it, I am sure you will be happy with it.

The only negative is that the styling is “unique” and takes a bit getting used to. The blue

light accents are a bit weird but, when you match it up with the blue lights on the DirectTV HD

DVR then it actually looks spectacular.
