Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've recently purchased this rear projection television and I'm very impressed to say the least. I've owned a Samsung 40 rear projection prior to this, which was also a very good TV, but nothing compared to this JVC bad boy. Some nice features include a DVI jack for future (some present) digital connections, a center channel input (although I've tried it and the sound is less than acceptable, perhaps its my receiver), numerous multiscreen displays including dual tuning for split screen, and most importantly exceptional picture quality. I believe it's the internal line doubler that creates such sharp pictures, or so they say. The clarity is really astounding for a projection TV, and what's more, the clarity is not limited to HDTV broadcasts, but the picture on regular cable is amazing as well. Let's face it, most of us do not spend most of our TV viewing time having access to HDTV broadcasts and receivers. Albeit a fortunate handful, but for the rest of us this television has excellent picture quality across the board. I highly suggest watching the Monsters Inc. dvd with a player using component connections. The clarity is breathtaking, many picutres truly appear to be 3 dimensional. But instead of relying solely on reviews, go out to your local electronics store, and take a look for yourself at this television against other manufacturers. And don't listen to large chain store electronics sales employees, they don't know what they're talking about. Happy shopping!

Enjoy 48 inches of widescreen splendor with JVC's AV-48WP30 1080i I'Art Pro HDTV projection television. Equipped to render superior high-definition images from a mix of inputs, the 16:9 aspect-ratio AV-48WP30 includes a direct-digital DVI input with HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) to accept uncompressed HD signals from DTV set-top boxes. JVC's DIST (Digital Image Scaling Technology) displays all images in high-definition 1080i, regardless of the source. A scratch-resistant coating protects the set's dark-tinted screen shield.The AV-48WP30 incorporates exclusive I'Art features like 4 MEGA 10-bit 3D Y/C comb filter, white-character correction circuitry, and an interactive plug-in menu. Additionally, the set offers TheaterPro 6500K color temperature, 75 MHz Digital Super Detail circuitry, Digital Noise Clear circuitry, and Natural Cinema processing for all Telecene sources.Velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.The I'Art Pro Series TV also includes JVC's unique Natural Progressive picture improvement technology to optimize signal quality before the picture is ever displayed. Another proprietary feature, 10.7-million-pixel Natural Progressive technology, doubles the image data in each field and uses advanced 3D interpolation to display a solid image with no noticeable scan lines and eliminates jagged edge noise and image trails.Dual onboard NTSC tuners offer a 12 Multi-Index-Window Display for ultimate PIP/POP convenience from the set's RF video input. View 12 channels in three rows of four images to select the one most interesting to you, or view still images of three other stations stacked along the right of the screen while you watch one program in the main portion of the screen.Other connections include dual autosensing HD component-video inputs, assuring the best possible picture quality, whether you're viewing DTV, DVD, or D-VHS tapes, three S-video (Y/C) connections, four composite-video-based audio/video inputs. The DVI input is not compatible with personal computers.For the set's audio, JVC employs BBE High-Definition Sound Enhancement to improve speech intelligibility and restore the dynamic range of compressed musical passages. Hyper Surround simulates enveloping surround sound from any two speakers, including the set's own stereo 10-watts-per-channel bass-reflex speakers. A center-channel speaker input lets you substitute the AV-48WP30's speakers for your surround system's center speaker, saving space and ensuring that the center-channel dialogue will remain rooted at the screen.JVC also includes auto clock set, parental controls (V-Chip, front-panel lock, channel guard), and AV CompuLink III for simplified connectivity with other JVC A/V components.What's in the Box TV, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and warranty information.Note: The two-tuner multiscreen function does not operate with all cable boxes.
