New Technology TV

The advent of High Definition Television (HDTV) is capturing the imagination of consumers all across the country and a model from JVC is letting them get into HDTV in a big way. For a relatively low price, (For under $2000 dollars if you shop online) this outsized set from JVC is rewriting the rules that HD televisions near 60 inches must be extremely expensive. This ILA set which is essentially an LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) rear display, has a 16:9 aspect ratio and impressive picture quality. The emerging LCoS televisions have garnered the attention of industry experts, and many of them are impressed with both the current state and the promise of this technology. The blacks are very black with a striking contrast ratio. In the 1280 X 720p resolution, the “p” stands for progressive, which means that every line on the television is refreshed in one quick pass. It is even easy to connect this television to your computer to create a huge and impressive monitor!

Standard Definition on this set is a bit compromised, but the HD picture quality is very good. The power output, at only 20 Watts is rather low for a set of this size. This JVC set (HD56G786) weighs less than a hundred pounds, which is surprising given its large stature. This High-Definition set is rather slow changing between channels. If there were one thing to improve, this would be a good candidate. Set up was easy and intuitive. This JVC has two 1394 ports which is good preparation for the future. Manufacturers seem to be gravitating towards this standard to connect hardware. Truthfully, the worst HDTV is better than the best standard TV picture. Digital television and especially HDTV is such an improvement. For those in the market for a large HDTV, the JVC was not completely razor-sharp, but the huge screen makes up for some of those shortcomings. From reality shows to sports and news, there is more HDTV content everyday. And more consumers are adopting HDTV all of the time. JVC, a leading worldwide corporation, has long been a leader in consumer electronics. This 56-inch LCoS model in a side-by-side comparison with an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) model held its own very well. The set features 4th generation Digital Image Scaling Technology (D.I.S.T.), Sleep Timer, World Clock, Input Naming, Advanced Hyper Surround Sound with Front Firing Speakers and much more. If you are thinking of a 720p set and want to go large, this may be the set for you. It is one of the most affordable, large sets on the market. While this model can’t compete in clarity and other features with a 1080p LCoS model, the price will lure many consumers in for a closer look.
