I bought a 42' JVC LCD set. It stopped working 5 months after purchase. from Circuitcity.com I got this TV During Circuit City's 'Promotional' Pricing Week between Christmas 2007 and New Year 2008. I bought this for $1239.99 and I feel it has been a very wise investment. As one other reviewer said, the 32-Bit Processor does make a difference. from Circuitcity.com I have read so many LCD reviews I'm about to down-convert my brain to 720p with a 422 drop-down, interlaced at that. How this JVC slips under the radar is beyond me. from Circuitcity.com I purchased this TV in mid december the picture was beautiful and everything else about it was great until it died in mid Feb. The picture started getting lines accross it until you could not see a picture anymore. from Circuitcity.com The JVC lt42x688 so far seems like someone put the wrong sticker on it. 1080p pic is awesome! from Vanns.com Like many buyers of this television, I did a lot of research before purchasing it. My main concern was motion blur (a documented problem associated with LCD televisions, especially the early generation LCD), I'm not certain if the latest LCD sets are plagued with this problem. Research suggested manufacturers use different methods to eliminate blur--some good, some bad. from Amazon.com Complete ONE offer - I would recommend Netflix All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my JVC TV and many other things this way, so don't miss out. from Amazon.com =) I have an Xbox 360 with the HDMI out (the $2.00 6ft HDMI cable I got from Amazon works perfectly - NEVER pay $50 for an HDMI cable!!!), and it looks fabulous. There aren't many native 1080p games for the 360 at the moment...but even upconverted, the picture is breathtaking. from Amazon.com Great TV 1080p 42" HD. I have owned JVC products without problems. from Amazon.com JVC makes GREAT products, plain and simple. We purchased our JVC 42 LCD HDTV about 2 weeks ago and for some odd reason, and I don't know why I hadn't read about this before and why it came as a surprise to me, but when you watch regular television on an HDTV monitor, the picture quality comes out less than perfect...in fact it comes out dang-near blurry. from Amazon.com
