JVC AV-56WP74 56-Inch Widescreen HDTV-Ready Projection Television
Nice TV Great Picture BUT My First One Was A Lemon
We bought this TV because my stereo receiver went out and since we were buying a new receiver my wife talked me into getting a new big screen HDTV. She really had to twist my arm. Even though I am an audio file and have extensive stereo equipment, I do not know that much about big screen TVs so I went primarily with the salesmans recommendation and price and appearance of the unit in the store. I like the styling of the product. We like the fact that the speakers for the TV are protected with a hard plastic mesh rather than a soft cloth mesh. We thought this would hold up better with kids. This has TWO component inputs to connect with DVD or Laserdisc player and it has DVI input to connect with the HDTV receiver. It has Three S Video inputs also two in the back and one in front. We have only had the TV for two weeks. Right off the bat we had and still have many problems with the cable company getting HDTV we only have 4 channels and they do not work very reliably but that is a different issue. It is a tribute to the quality of the TV picture, everything in HDTV looks awesome but regular TV not so great. Then yesterday the TV went all RED with HORIZONTAL LINES across the screen. I went through the troubleshooting tips in the manual and called JVC and found out I do indeed have a bad unit and they will repair it no problem. I also called the store I bought it from and they are just going to replace it with a new one. I surfed the internet and found other people that have had the exact same problem!! JVC says I need to move all my stereo equipment far away from the TV to eliminate electro magnetic interference!? That aint gonna happen! I hope the replacement TV works better. I am still giving the TV a 4 star review because initially the TV was very nice.
