JVC LT-32X776

The JVC LT-32X776 television was created with fourth generation Digital Image Scaling Technology (D.I.S.T) and GENESSA - a 32-bit CPU that controls picture refinement. D.I.S.T. uses a digital algorithm to up convert any video source to 770p. Because of this the usual jagged lines in the original source are smoothed away and the vertical resolution is enhanced. This is exclusive only to JVC.

One feature that we were most anxious to see at work is the HD DSD (digital Super Detail) edge enhancement. This technology keeps the picture completely focused on anything that you are watching. Whether it is something that isn't moving or something that is moving at a high speed it keeps everything crisp and defined.

The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connection provides lossless, uncompressed audio and digital video. There is only one-wire connection for audio and video functions and it is integrated for remote control functions. It takes advantage of HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection).

With all this technology you can expect that the picture you are watching is perfect. The black levels is something that could use a little work - but most people do not pay too much attention to that. You can expect that any movie you watch will jump right out at you - more so because of the HD qualities than anything else.

We also give props to the audio. There are some televisions that choose not to focus on this. So while they deliver a crystal clear picture the audio makes it feel a little flat. JVC focuses equally on both qualities.

The cost of the JVC HD LT-32X776 runs from $1500 - $2000. Obviously this is one of the lower end models for HD - but at that price you can't help but give it a try.
