Summary: Love it
Review: I have had my JVC now for over 2 years and the picture is still beautiful. This is the first tv that - out of the box - all of the picture settings are perfect on. I didn't tweak the contrast or color level at all. My model has S-video in and the picture is spectacular, but mine only has one jack - I have a dvd and echostar that both have s-video out - my echostar lost :-)

All in all, for the money, you won't find a better television.

Summary: JVC - quality and affordable
Review: I'm a firm believer that a few more $$$ now for quality saves a lot of $$$ in the long run. After researching TVs with Consumer Reports, I found that JVC has the best customer satisfaction, and has the #1 rated model in a 1999 report.

This model lacks the PIP of the one reviewed in CR, but that appears to be the only difference. The speakers provide great sound (although I'll be turning them off and using my amp), it pulls antenna reception where my old TV just got static, and is easy to use with my satellite. The only problem is that I can't get the programmable remote to run my VCR, but I also haven't called customer service.

There are other 27" TVs that are $50 or $100 less, but look at the CR satisfaction report before choosing these cheaper models. There are also more expensive brands, but the additional money doesn't buy much.

Summary: JVC Quality
Review: Owning all JVC electronic products and being very happy with them, but never a tv, I was reluctant to try this JVC module out.

However, I was not disappointed. The remote control is simpler to use than the one I have now and the dark tint picture tube is more important than I ever would have imagined.

Summary: We Love It!
Review: Very good picture and sound and easy to operate, and a bargain for the price. Color and image detail are excellent, including when playing back VHS tapes. The simulated surround sound effect is pretty subtle, but does seem to have the effect of appearing to bring the sound closer to your ears. And while you will still want to hook your system up to an audio receiver and speakers if you are a fanatic about hi fi sound for music and concert videos, as I am, the sound from the TV speakers is clear, rich and above average for built in TV speakers--it's quite fine for my needs when watching movies or TV shows.

In addition to the usual RCA video input, the set does have an S-video input if you're into DVD--which I'm not--but does *not* have inputs for more than one video component at a time--so if you're going to hook up both a VCR and DVD, and perhaps a gaming system as well, you'll need one of those adapter boxes of the sort Radio Shack sells for around 40 bucks that allow you to plug multiple components into one set of inputs.

Very good set for the value, though, especially considering the high reputation of JVC.

Summary: We Love It!
Review: We purchased this JVC television to replace a 10 year old RCA. We were a bit unsure, as we have never had a JVC product before. Guess what? We love it! It was very simple to set up with the HCT (Home Communications Terminal supplied by our local cable TV company). The VCR was a snap to connect. We didn't even have to use the manual to do any of the set up. The picture is fantasic quality and the sound is wonderful. We are very pleased with our purchase.
