42 LCD 1080p

By Anne Ahira

The Super Bowl may have come and gone but that does not mean you cannot have a new television.

Spring is nearly sprung and nothing brightens up a room like a 42 LCD 1080p.

Crisp pictures and vivid colors will blossom when you hang one of these in your office or den.

Coming up to speed with all the options available is the JVC 42 LCD 1080p model number LT-42P789. This television is true high definition plus some handy extras.

Good Features

While other models are slugging it out with contrast ratios and how many HDMI ports they can add, JVC came up with a new addition. They have added an IPod dock!

Now you can take your video IPod and dock it on a 42 LCD 1080p television and rock the night away. With full HD capability, your Chris Brown videos will jump off the screen.

In addition to this neat new feature, the JVC 42 LCD 1080p has these as well:

• 13000:1 Dynamic contrast ratio
• Liquid crystal display
• 176 degree viewing angle
• 3 HDMI ports
• USB input for photos and slideshows
• 1920 x 1080 display

Bad

The main complaint with the JVC 42 LCD 1080p was more with peripherals than anything else. To control the IPod feature requires you to manually work the mp3 player, no onscreen navigation. The instructions are less than perfect as usual and the remote is not fully functional with add-ons like DVR.

One customer had an issue with the power supply, and when they enquired with JVC about the warranty, there was no replacement issued. This, of course, was only an issue with one customer and one 42 LCD 1080p set, however it should be mentioned.

Customer Comments and Experiences

Most customers were very happy with their purchase with pricing under a $1,000 in many places it is a great television for the money.

One customer compared it side by side with their plasma screen set and found the 42 LCD 1080p to deliver a clearer and brighter picture. The sound quality was also a feature many were surprised with.

Normally, these flat panel sets have substandard speakers and require a surround sound system this one had sufficient volume without surround.

Bottom Line

This is a solid 42 LCD 1080p unit with cool features you will not find on any other set. If you were an electronics fanatic with an IPod and many HD capable devices, this would be the one television that could suit all your needs.

The price is right and you lose no quality for the bargain. The JVC 42 LCD 1080p gets two thumbs up from nearly everyone who purchased it.
