JVC AV-24F702 24" Flat Screen TV
JVC AV24F702 24 Flat TV
I evaluated the picture quality and relative value of this product to that of the Toshiba 24AF41, comparable Panasonic and Sony models.  Based upon reviews read earlier here, I was leaning towards the Toshiba before I even started looking.  When comparing features, neither the Panasonic nor the Sony have Component Video input while both the Toshiba and JVC do.  The picture quality side by side between the Toshiba and JVC look very close and both were clearly superior to the Panasonic and Sony, all displaying local TV station signals.  In three separate stores, the JVC's picture looked very slightly better in terms of contrast ratio, color saturation, and  geometry than the Toshiba.  Interlace also looked better in two samples of the JVC compared to the Toshiba.  I purchased the JVC.  Once at home and hooked up to DVD via component video cables... WOW!!!  Remarkable picture!!  Almost looks like HDTV!  No scan lines, rock stable, great definition.  To say the least, I'm VERY pleased!
