Summary: Good buy
Review: I returned a Philips for this one. The Philips was a big disappointment. But this JVC TV is spectacular for the dough. The picture quality is excellent. The picture is clear and the colors are vibrant. The tube is a true rectangular model and nearly flat, but not a pure flat model.

The sound quality is very acceptable, but not great. Since the speakers are so close together, sound separation is not great, but the sound is very good for this price range. If you hook it to a stereo, the internal speakers don't matter anyway. It does supposely have a variable volume audio output, but I have not yet tested this. Signal to noise ratio is very good - even at very low volumes, late at night, there is no hint of hum or buzz.

The remote and on-screen menues are very intuitive and easy to use. The remote buttons are well laid out and the remote is very responsive to user input. It is also very non-directional - you don't have to point it at the TV to get it to work. The remote will control any JVC TV and VCR, but not, apparently, VCRs from other manufacturers. You have to buy higher priced JVCs to get the true universal remotes.

Overall, this is a good tube, and a great buy.

Summary: Excellent product
Review: I was surprised at the quality of the picture, sound and overall performance of a TV at this price. This TV has perfectly complemented the performance of my home theatre system. Color and clarity are outstanding. Except for glare, there is no difference between this and flat screens I've seen. Furthermore, having owned other JVC products, I am confident this too will prove to be reliable.

I had compared this with similar size flat screen televisions and do not believe the flat screens are of substantially better quality, or worth the price difference. This television, like nearly all others, has a large tube which requires a lot of room. However, unless you're willing to invest in a plasma or similar TV, this is standard.

Summary: Excellent TV
Review: This TV is highly configurable with multiple video inputs and excellent control of image quality. For the price, I believe it to be an excellent deal. I've been quite happy with the image quality and functionality of the TV.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very nice resolution
Review: To judge the sharpness of a TV image, I recommend looking at text on the screen such as news verbage or show credits. The text has to be stationary, not moving or animated. Using this test, the JVC AV-27320 is really sharp for its price range. Color quality looks great too. The sound quality is just OK but this can be solved by using home-theater audio. That's what I do.
